If you thought the drama in Los Angeles was hitting a plateau, today’s episode just proved everybody wrong. The tension at Forrester Creations is officially at a boiling point. Honestly, it’s about time. Between the fashion face-offs and the family reunions, there wasn't a dull second in the Bold and the Beautiful recap today.
The biggest headline? RJ Forrester is back.
RJ Comes Home to a Family in Chaos
After months of being away, RJ (played by Brayan Nicoletti) finally stepped back into the Forrester mansion. Brooke and Ridge were absolutely floored. It was a rare, genuine moment of joy in a house that’s been feeling pretty heavy lately. Brooke looked like she might never let him go. But let’s be real—this is B&B. The "peace" lasted about five minutes.
Ridge and Brooke didn't waste any time. They immediately started filling RJ in on the massive rift between the Logans and the Forresters. RJ’s been traveling the world, living his best life, and now he’s walked right into a buzzsaw. He seemed a bit overwhelmed by the intensity of the "Logan" fashion house drama. Brooke is still fuming about Katie using the family name for a competing brand. She calls it "stealing" from what she and Ridge built.
Eric Forrester Reclaims His Crown
The most shocking part of the Bold and the Beautiful recap today happened over at the newly formed Logan offices. Katie was practically frantic. She’s been looking for a lead designer for her new venture, and the search wasn't going great. She was looking at portfolios from unknowns—even Deke Sharpe was in the mix—but nothing felt right. She needs "American luxury" to compete with the powerhouse that is Forrester.
Then Eric walked in.

He didn't just walk in; he made an announcement that is going to change the show's landscape for months. Eric is officially coming out of retirement. He told a stunned Katie that he wants to be her lead designer.
He’s doing it.
The man who is Forrester Creations is joining the competition. Eric told Katie he needs to feel relevant again. You could see the "big ole grin" on his face, as the soap recaps described it. It’s a massive betrayal to Ridge and Brooke, even if Eric sees it as a way to mentor his sister-in-law. Katie was blown away. She went from having no one to having the Greatest of All Time.
The Sister Rivalry Gets Personal
Brooke and Donna are on totally different pages here. While Brooke is ready to go to war over the "Logan" name, Donna is just trying to keep the family from imploding. In the Forrester office, Brooke was basically having a meltdown. She feels like Katie is "bastardizing" the family name. Ridge was right there, rubbing her shoulders and playing the hero, but you could see Donna wasn't really buying Brooke's outrage.
It’s complicated. Katie felt marginalized at Forrester, so she left. Now she’s thriving, and Brooke can’t handle it. This isn’t just business; it’s decades of sisterly baggage coming to the surface.
What happened elsewhere?
- Carter and Daphne: They are still riding the high of their engagement. Ridge and Steffy are celebrating them, but there are whispers about a secret Daphne might be keeping.
- Sheila and Taylor: The threat level is rising. Sheila has been watching Taylor and Deacon, and her "scary warnings" are getting more frequent.
- The Spencer Connection: Bill is about to get a major update from Katie. He gave her this company to help her find herself, but he probably didn't expect her to hire his rival's father.
Why Today’s Episode Changes Everything
We have to talk about the implications of Eric’s move. This isn't just a job change. It’s a declaration of independence from his own son. Ridge has been trying to put Eric "out to pasture" for a while now, and this is Eric’s way of saying he’s not done.
