The Forrester mansion descended into absolute CHAOS today as Eric Forrester’s final will unveiled the most devastating family secret in the history of The Bold and the Beautiful — and Ridge reacted with a fury no one could have imagined.
Just one week after Eric’s heartbreaking death, the family gathered for what they believed would be a solemn, respectful reading of the patriarch’s last wishes. Instead, the room became a battleground when Eric’s attorney revealed the truth that ripped the Forrester family apart in a single sentence:
👉 Thomas Forrester is NOT Ridge’s son — he is Eric’s. His illegitimate son.
Gasps filled the room. Brooke clutched the arm of her chair. Steffy froze. And Ridge… Ridge’s entire world collapsed.
But the nightmare wasn’t over.
🔥 The SHOCKING Distribution of Eric’s Wealth
As if the revelation of Eric’s secret child wasn’t enough, the will continued with a bombshell that sent Ridge over the edge:
-
Thomas: 30% ownership of Forrester Creations
-
Ridge: 10%
-
The remainder divided between the grandchildren
The moment Ridge heard the words, his face went pale. His voice shook. And then — the eruption.
⚡ Ridge SNAPS — EXPLOSIVE Confrontation
Ridge lunged across the room, shouting:
“HOW DARE YOU?! You STOLE my father! You STOLE EVERYTHING!”
When Thomas tried to calm him, Ridge struck him — the sound of the slap echoing through the mansion like a gunshot.
Gasps. Screams. Steffy shouting for security. Hope rushing to Thomas’s side. Brooke trying desperately to pull Ridge back.
It was the moment that shattered the Forrester dynasty.
💔 A Father’s Love — And A Son’s Betrayal
Ridge, shaking with rage and grief, accused Thomas of manipulating Eric in his final months. Of poisoning his father against him. Of stealing the company that Ridge believed he spent his entire life protecting.
But Thomas, broken yet composed, whispered:
“I didn’t know, Ridge… I NEVER knew.”
The room fell silent — but Ridge refused to believe it.
⚠️ Ridge THREATENS LEGAL WAR
Storming outside into the cold night air, Ridge vowed:
“I WILL contest the will. I will BURN this to the ground before I let Eric’s company go to someone who isn’t even a Forrester.”
But the truth is unavoidable:
Thomas is a Forrester.
Ridge’s entire identity is crumbling.
And the company is now in a three-way power struggle that could destroy everything Eric built.
🔥 What Happens Next?
The family is now fractured:
-
Steffy is torn between her father and brother
-
Hope refuses to leave Thomas’s side
-
Brooke fears Ridge has crossed a line he can never come back from
-
Zende and RJ see an opportunity to claim power
-
Carter warns legal battles could tear the company apart
And in the shadows of the mansion, the question no one dares to ask:
👉 Did Eric change the will out of clarity… or manipulation?
The Forrester dynasty is hanging by a thread.
The next move Ridge makes could destroy everything.
