ARE THE FASHION WARS BACK?! B&B drops a classic Eric vs. Ridge showdown — which rival will relaunch a new runway battle after Luna’s scandal?
Fashion wars explode again as Eric and Ridge ignite a fierce rivalry after Luna’s shocking scandal.
The fashion world of The Bold and the Beautiful is about to erupt in a way fans haven’t seen in years, as Eric Forrester and Ridge Forrester find themselves pushed into a renewed and explosive rivalry fueled by scandal, ego, and the future of Forrester Creations. Luna’s recent scandal—one that sent shockwaves through the entire fashion house—has reopened old wounds and forced long-buried tensions back to the surface. What was meant to be a temporary setback becomes the spark that reignites the legendary Forrester “fashion wars,” a rivalry so iconic that it once defined the company’s history. Now, the question isn’t just which designer will rise, but which man will lead the company into a new era after the chaos Luna left behind.
Eric, recovering but still fiercely determined, refuses to let anyone underestimate him. Luna’s scandal has tainted the youthful division he supported, and he sees it as proof that the younger generation still lacks the discipline and class that made Forrester Creations a global fashion powerhouse. Slowly returning to his sketchpad, Eric is energized in a way viewers haven’t seen since his last big runway triumph. He wants redemption—not only for himself but for the company that carries his name. To him, Luna’s downfall is a reminder that Forrester Creations needs strong leadership rooted in experience, tradition, and honor. Ridge claims to respect his father, but Eric senses Ridge believes the throne already belongs to him. That silent tension becomes fuel for Eric’s renewed ambition.
Ridge, however, views the situation completely differently. To him, Luna’s scandal isn’t a reflection of poor judgment from the younger designers—it’s a sign the company needs evolution, not nostalgia. Ridge wants to rebuild the brand with boldness and fearless reinvention, distancing Forrester Creations from the mistakes of the past. Luna’s situation gives him ammunition to argue that Eric’s era has passed and that relying on the old ways will only lead to more instability. Ridge sees himself as the natural successor, the designer with the vision to carry the company into a new future. And while he wants to avoid hurting Eric, the competitive fire inside him burns hotter with every conversation about leadership.
The runway becomes the battleground—again. The atmosphere in the Forrester cutting room transforms into a pressure cooker as the staff, designers, seamstresses, and models feel the tension shifting through the building. Whispers spread like wildfire: Will there be another fashion duel? Another epic showdown? Another blockbuster Forrester vs. Forrester battle that could shake the entire fashion industry? The stakes rise higher when Eric hints at creating a new collection inspired by resilience, class, and the timeless allure of classic couture. Ridge, not to be outdone, begins sketching his most daring designs yet, determined to prove that he—not Eric—is the future of fashion.
The division inside Forrester Creations deepens. Steffy supports her father, believing Ridge’s modern approach will secure the company’s global relevance. But she’s conflicted, especially after seeing Eric’s renewed spirit and the courage he displays by taking on such a high-stakes challenge despite his health setbacks. RJ, devastated by Luna’s scandal, gravitates toward his grandfather, wanting to redeem himself creatively by contributing to Eric’s comeback. Hope finds herself caught in the middle, wanting peace but quickly realizing peace may no longer be possible. Even Donna feels torn, proud of Eric’s strength yet worried about what another fashion war could do to the family.
Luna, shrouded in shame and desperate for redemption, unexpectedly becomes the catalyst that pushes both men harder. She wants to fix the damage she caused, and her emotional struggle catches the attention of both Eric and Ridge—each for different reasons. Eric sees her as someone who deserves guidance and protection, someone he can help mold into a skilled designer. Ridge, however, views her as a symbol of what must change within the company. Her mistakes are the cracks that reveal deeper problems in Forrester Creations’ structure, and Ridge believes he is the one who can rebuild stronger.
As the storyline intensifies, Eric and Ridge both secretly begin assembling teams, sketching prototypes, consulting with models, and preparing for a potential public announcement. The family senses something massive is brewing—something that could redefine the company’s power dynamics for years. Katie, Carter, and even Bill Spencer feel the tremors of the coming war and prepare for the business shockwaves it may unleash.
The climax builds when Ridge and Eric confront each other in the CEO’s office, voices raised, tempers flaring, decades of rivalry spilling out in a clash of pride and pain. Ridge accuses Eric of holding the company back. Eric fires back that Ridge has forgotten the heart of Forrester. Their confrontation ends not with compromise but with a challenge—one that mirrors the great fashion wars of the past: two competing collections, one runway, one winner.
And now, all eyes turn to the catwalk. After Luna’s scandal left Forrester Creations vulnerable, this new showdown could either resurrect the company—or tear it apart. As the families brace themselves for the battle of legends, fans are left wondering: Will Eric reclaim his crown, proving the king still reigns? Or will Ridge finally seize the legacy he believes is rightfully his?
The fashion wars are officially back… and this time, the stakes are higher than ever.
