I really hope Eric loses. He is insufferable.

I have a feeling it will be a tie. Send Esther back to Genoa City asap. I remember her as Mrs. Chancellor’s maid–I have no idea what she does now or who she’s related to. Haven’t watched it in decades.

Esther is Lauren’s brother in laws, mother in law so she is considered family.

I believe that Katherine left her an inheritance put I don’t know how much she was left.

No kidding. Eric kept going on about how he was going to “take Forrester Creations back,” and they all keep mentioning that the show is going to decide who gets the couture line and control of the CEO’s office. Hold the phone there, boys. Neither Ridge nor Eric has the right to decide who gets the couture line, and certainly not who gets control of the CEO’s office or Forrester Creations all by their little lonesomes, and it’s pompous and arrogant of either of them to assume that the entire company is some prize that one of them can snatch from the other. That is definitely not how successful businesses are run, and they’re both acting like Steffy, who’s co-CEO and co-majority stockholder has not a thing in the world to say about anything they’re planning. Plus, it’s just ridiculous for Eric, who knows he has no more than six months to live, to be carrying on about taking the company back. From where? Home hospice care? If just getting ready for the fashion show is enough for his doctor to say that the stress is making him go downhill faster, what does he think trying to run the company again will do to his health? And does he really have any plans for the company that he can put into play in the little time he has left? Right now, it sounds mostly like he wants to go back to the way things were when he started the company—but he can’t turn back time for the company any more than he can turn it back for himself. Nor would it really be smart for everyone else to indulge his ideas because they want him to be happy for whatever time he has left. FC isn’t just about keeping Eric or Ridge happy. It’s about everyone who depends on it to make a living, too.

I couldn’t agree more. I think Eric has been in denial and wants to relive his glory days.

I think Ridge will win it but that everyone will agree to tell Eric he won it - because he’s dying and they want to make his last months happy - it will be a misdiagnosis and Eric will be pushing his weight around, bringing in RJ (Robotic Jackwad) to usurp his father, eventually Ridge, will have to tell him that he lost and they only let him believe he won because they thought he was dying.

Hope and Thomas were last seen humping in the CEO office…they are too busy for a fashion show.

I really hope we don’t have to endure this fashion show every day this week. I’m honestly indifferent to who wins.

I would really like to know if there are any women writers for BB, because i have a sneaky suspicion that their all MEN writers on this show and y&r now…because most of the male characters are very arrogant and power-control fanatics, with Neanderthal tendencies!

I for one love the fashion. I liked some of the designs. I don’t know much about couture but it is a nice diversion from the repetitive writing. I don’t care who wins and Steffy, not Ridge or Eric should be running Forrester.

Regardless of who gets writing credits on screen, it feels like it’s all Bell working through his various psychological issues.

It’s mind-blowing that this story was planned to be told during JMW’s maternity leave. Her absence during a major conflict between her father and grandfather that could decide the fate of (or bankrupt) the company, is just so ridiculous. Not to mention it’s just ignoring huge potential drama that JMW (and TK and JMc) would surely do a great job with.

Esther is also Chloe’s mother. She was made manager of Sharon’s coffee shop a few weeks ago but has not been seen there since.

I think it would be interesting to know IF or how many women writers are on this show.

Katherine Chancellor left Esther $20,000 per month for life as long as she stayed on as caretaker for the Chancellor Mansion. Esther is wealthy but a dim wit.

The way they’re talking about the win determining who gets the CEO office and control of the company also makes it sound as if she could return to find out she’s out of a job because of some pissing contest between her father and grandfather, when, so far as we know, she’s done her job and done it well. In fact, when someone had to tell Hope it was work with Thomas again or have her line shelved because the two attempts at designing new HFTF lines with Eric/Zende in charge had failed, it was Steffy who had to make that decision and tell Hope. Eric said he agreed with her but was glad he didn’t have to do it (make the call and/or tell Hope). Then, of course, there’s the little problem with Steffy having returned control of the company to the family not once but twice after Eric had screwed up. She’s the only one of the three of them who is not susceptible to falling under the spell of a Logan blonde, too.

What I fear is that Ridge will tell Carter to tell Eric he won, no matter what actually happened, and then Eric will take over—and replace Steffy as co-CEO with R.J. Ridge will tell Steffy Eric is dying so just go along with it for the time being, but then either Eric doesn’t die and insists on staying as CEO with RJ by his side or he does die and leaves R.J. his stock and Ridge is so entranced with running the company with the “anointed one” at his side that Steffy and Thomas both get shafted for some twenty-something who’s worked at FC for five minutes and has no formal training in business or design.

I don’t doubt Bell would do that but he’d have to completely rewrite the ownership of FC.

Not that that would stop him. I guess.

Not necessarily. If Eric wanted to do that and Ridge felt all sorry for him because he was dying, he could vote with him and Eric’s 37.5% and Ridge’s 20% would be able to over-ride the votes of Steffy (37.5%) and Thomas’ (5%). Besides, Ridge wants to work with the anointed one at his side and he’s made that abundantly clear. If Eric dies or becomes incapable of working as co-CEO anymore, Ridge could convince R.J. to work with him—and just leave Steffy out in the cold, even more so than Thomas, who could at least still work on HFTF and being Hope’s sex toy.

Too bad Bell’s in charge or if Ridge tried that, under a real writer, it would turn out that Stephanie turned over her stock to Eric only until he passed and then they reverted to Steffy’s control, as she was the only one Stephanie could trust not to fall under the control of a Logan blonde. Then Steffy could decide what to do about her disloyal father and the “anointed one”—like telling the latter that if he wanted to work at FC, he had to get the proper education to do so, whether that would be design school or a business degree, and then start at the bottom the way she did. No skyrocketing straight to the top just be cause Daddy and Mommy think he’s so uber-talented. As for the former, she could let him know that she’s not going to forget how he first put up her job and office as part of a bet with his father without consulting her about it and then basically made sure she wasn’t ever getting it back as far as he was concerned and that he could count on exactly the same sort of business loyalty from her in the future that he showed her in the past. Steffy has worked as CEO without his help before, and she could do it again. If she wants to work with him again now, it would be with the understanding that she still controls 75% of the stock compared to his 20% and he would never, ever be treating her like her opinion meant nothing ever again.

old the phone there, boys. Neither Ridge nor Eric has the right to decide who gets the couture line, and certainly not who gets control of the CEO’s office or Forrester Creations all by their little lonesomes, and it’s pompous and arrogant of either of them to assume that the entire company is some prize that one of them can snatch from the other.

I thought when Stephanie died, she left her shares to Eric and some clause that he would be able to appoint the CEO for the rest of his life. Remember the Ricky vs Ridge nightmare where Eric told Ridge he would make him CEO if he married Brooke. And Ricky got the CEO title because Ridge wouldn’t get back together with Brooke and he and Maya were the nightmare couple with that Mae West portrait of Maya over the mantle?
If Eric can appoint the CEO for the rest of his life, why not just appoint himself?
