Ridge’s latest commitment to Taylor may have seemed like a resolution, but for Eric Forrester, it was the last straw. Watching Taylor slide comfortably back into Ridge’s life stirred years of resentment in Eric, who saw her as the manipulative force behind Ridge’s indecision. When Taylor visited the Forrester estate expecting a warm reunion, Eric met her with cold rejection. Accusing her of emotionally blackmailing Ridge, Eric declared she was no longer welcome in his home.
Taylor was devastated. As she tried to stand her ground, Ridge walked in and witnessed the tail end of Eric’s takedown. Caught in the crossfire, Ridge struggled to find his voice. Taylor, with dignity bruised, left quietly—but not before delivering a haunting line that would echo in Ridge’s mind: “I should have known it wouldn’t last.”
That night, Eric stood by his decision. Donna’s attempts to reason with him failed—he believed Ridge needed saving from himself. Meanwhile, Ridge was left shaken. Was Eric right? Did Taylor’s presence represent comfort or constraint? And for Brooke, the confrontation stirred conflicted emotions. She hadn’t asked for this, but it was clear—Eric had said everything she’d longed to.
Now, Ridge must decide whether to defend Taylor or reevaluate everything. The wounds from this family fight run deep, and the next decision Ridge makes may change everything.

The family drama at the Forrester mansion reached a boiling point when Eric confronted Taylor in a moment that stunned everyone. As Ridge celebrated a renewed future with Taylor, Eric saw through the façade. He believed Taylor had taken advantage of Ridge’s guilt and manipulated his loyalties. When she arrived at the estate expecting a quiet evening, Eric greeted her with a cold ultimatum: she was no longer welcome in his house.
The accusation sent shockwaves through Taylor. She was hurt, but Eric’s mind was made up. Ridge came down just in time to see the end of the confrontation but remained frozen—unable or unwilling to defend either side. Taylor left quietly, but her final words suggested a deeper wound, one Ridge couldn’t ignore.
Eric, meanwhile, stood firm in his convictions. He believed Ridge was blind to the truth and needed a reality check—no matter how painful. Donna urged him to reconsider, but Eric refused. Brooke, watching from the sidelines, felt vindicated. Though she hadn’t pushed for this confrontation, part of her hoped it might lead Ridge back to her.
Now Ridge is caught in the emotional wreckage of his family’s discontent. Should he stand by Taylor despite the tension, or is his heart already drifting back toward Brooke? One thing is certain—Eric’s stand has split the house, and the aftershocks are just beginning.
