“Monday in Los Angeles: B&B Recap – Eric’s Stand Against Ridge and Katie & Donna’s Predicament”

There were plenty of timeless looks that fit Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) style along with others that were more innovative to fit Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) vision.

In a moment alone with Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis), Eric admitted he felt so alive and vowed to take back Forrester Creations.

As the fashion show continued, Esther Valentine (Kate Linder) was uncertain of what gown to choose since they were all so lovely.

Lauren Fenmore Baldwin (Tracey E. Bregman) felt there would eventually be a dress that spoke to Esther – one that stood out from all the rest.

Nearby, flirty Charlie Webber (Dick Christie) got Esther’s attention by waving and pointing. Esther waved her feather duster back at Charlie and flirted as well.

Next on Monday’s B&B episode, Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) made some online content so that they could have an exclusive link for donors of the Forrester foundation.

Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz) thought that was excellent news and was glad to contribute once he got updates.

Over with RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman), he told Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) that they wouldn’t have had the last design in the fashion show if it weren’t for her. Luna got a supplier to send the right thing and saved the day.

After Brooke spotted RJ in a close moment with Luna, she told Ridge that their son had more on his mind than just fashion. Ridge said RJ was about to learn a very important lesson – and so was Eric!

Brooke seemed concerned when she saw Eric backstage coughing a bit with Donna by his side. The suspicious expressions continued as Brooke watched Eric and witnessed her sisters acting all secretive.

Brooke ultimately asked Donna and Katie what was going on since Eric seemed off, but they acted like Eric was just battling nerves over what could be his last fashion show.

Katie and Donna stepped away in a hurry, so Brooke continued to fret over Eric as he had another coughing fit.

At one point, Eric spoke to RJ and was happy to see his grandson so excited about the event. Both RJ and Luna got hugs from Eric since he was so proud of the work they’d done.

Eric said Ridge’s designs were wonderful, but he expressed confidence in their own fashion show offerings.

However, Eric wasn’t happy about Ridge playing mind games by having them prepare in the design office instead of in the backstage area.

Even so, Eric stayed focused on pulling off a win and said it was like his life depended on it!

Later, Eric thought back to warnings about his illness before declaring that he’d beat Ridge and be in charge of Forrester Creations one last time.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Eric could push himself too hard if he’s not careful, so stay tuned!
