Transcript

00:00 Bold and beautiful fans, Ridge Forrester is forced to make a decision on Tuesday's episode,

00:05 and it's not something he can do easily. He'll have to think about the repercussions and what

00:10 it means for Eric's future. Eric is rushed to the hospital. He collapsed in front of everyone at the

00:17 Forrester mansion. The party is over and everyone is concerned about what's going to happen.

00:25 There's a lot of anxiety for the ones who believe it's the end of Eric. But Finn drops a news that

00:31 gives hope to the entire family. When talking about Ridge, he can't imagine experiencing the

00:37 loss of his father, but there's only so much he can do about it. However, he'll face with a dilemma

00:44 on this episode. Ridge will be asked to make a choice that's probably about Eric's treatment.

00:50 Finn will urge that there's a way to save Eric, but there are certain risks and complications.

00:57 Perhaps he'll suggest an experimental trial about which they know nothing about. But Finn urges that

01:04 there's hope with this treatment plan, and he just needs the consent from Ridge to start the process.

01:10 Two weeks in a row, we had a cliffhanger episode as Eric collapsed on the ground.

01:16 Previously, Eric bounced off right after, but his health degraded quite a lot. He needed to be on

01:23 oxygen, but the worst of all is the way Eric seems to take his life. He has no hope left,

01:29 and it can be clearly seen on his face and the words he says. Eric's not hiding his illness

01:37 because he thinks he can live longer. It's more so because he knows his days are really numbered,

01:43 and if people find out, they'll make him live his final days the way he absolutely despises.

01:49 On behalf of the show, they seem to be set on taking his life, forcing John McCook to retire

01:56 now. Just a couple of months ago, he revealed in an interview that he would be wiring until

02:01 the showrunners let him on the set, and now they're forcing to kill off this character.

02:05 It's more real because in moments leading up to his latest collapse, we saw Eric degrade more.

02:12 His standalone moments with everyone he loved makes me choke even now, if I think about it,

02:17 and not to mention the flashbacks. But everything nice has to come to an end.

02:23 Eric has been with us from day one. He's old, and the show needs to move on to make room for future

02:30 generations now. Even though we don't want him gone, we do not have a lot of options here.

02:35 During the gala, Steffi and Lee Finnegan were both puzzled why Finn was not with his wife at

02:41 the gala. Steffi texted him multiple times, but the show wanted us to see how determined Finn is

02:48 to find a cure for Eric. Now, right now, we don't know if there will really be a cure.

02:55 The spoilers have said that Ridge will decide to pull the plug, and that Finn will find out

03:00 that there's a cure out there that needs to be discovered. So even if they do find a cure,

03:07 it's only temporary. Eric may actually really have a few good years ahead of him before we

03:14 really have to bid him farewell. So if not now, it will be soon anyway. You know what I would like?

03:21 I'd like Eric to be cured, and then he realizes life is too short, so he relocates to maybe Hawaii

03:30 or Florida, and we get updates just now and then that he's having a blast doing what he's doing

03:34 there. But for now, let's just focus on what happens to this character next. Rather than being

03:41 saved, he may only have a cure to delay his death. What do you think? Subscribe and hit the bell icon
