Thursday, Nov 30: Today on Bold and the Beautiful, RJ feels bad, Ridge and Steffy insist on respecting Eric’s wishes, and Katie and Donna urge Eric to go to the hospital.
Wednesday’s Early B&B recap: When Eric nearly collapsed, Donna called Dr. Colby.
In the office at Forrester, Donna hugs Eric and urges him not to ignore the doctor’s advice. He insists he will live his life the way he wants, both at work and snuggled up at home with her.
He refuses to go to the hospital. Katie walks in and immediately asks what happened.
He reminds her he’s dying. Nothing has changed.
Although he may be on the fast track to death, he’s still determined to stay there creating.
Donna says a brief stay in the hospital may help prolong his life but he refuses to be away from his collection.
This line will never be forgotten.
They urge him not to give up. He says going to the hospital would be giving up.
He needs to stay with his passion. Katie says he can design and look for treatment options.
Eric still refuses. Turning to Donna, he tells her how grateful he is for her and begs her to let him live his last moments with her.
It humbles him to have their support but he gets to decide what he will do.
Katie thinks his instincts could be leading him away from life-saving treatment but Eric is adamant that this is his final collection.
Taking Donna’s hand, he asks her to model his latest creation.
In the little office, Ridge is frustrated and so is Steffy. They just want to help Eric.
He’s being more stubborn that Stephanie but they need to let him live out his life on his terms.
Brooke agrees they need to keep pretending but Ridge points out it’s getting impossible to ignore. His father nearly collapsed today.
He thanks him son for being Eric’s hands and hugs him. RJ will do all it takes to help with every design.
Ridge is sure his father will do this until the end.
Brooke wonders how they can help while looking ignorant. Steffy’s not sure the charade can be maintained.
Ridge thinks they should be having quality time not wasting it with conversations like this.
Tearing up, Steffy says they need to respect her granddad’s wishes. Ridge hugs her.
RJ gets a text from Katie saying Eric wants him for work. They urge him to go and keep them updated.
RJ feels terrible for betraying his trust but his sister tells him he did the right thing.
After he takes off, Brooke says she’s proud of all RJ is doing. So is Ridge. It feels right that he’s helping Eric.
Once RJ is gone, Steffy wishes that Eric could have a thousand more shows. She just wishes they could tell him they are there for him.
Brooke repeats they need to let him do things his way…but it will eventually be too hard to pretend.
Ridge is sure his father will stand tall as long as he can. Steffy says he’s been very brave.
The three of them hug.
