After Ridge publicly recommitted to Taylor, Eric’s simmering frustration exploded. Tired of watching Ridge flip-flop and seeing Taylor subtly manipulate her way back into his life, Eric finally snapped. When Taylor arrived at the Forrester estate for what she assumed would be a normal visit, she was blindsided by Eric’s fury. He refused to let her enter, claiming she had overstayed her welcome and exploited Ridge’s guilt. Taylor, stunned and hurt, tried to defend herself, but Eric delivered a chilling blow: she was no longer welcome under his roof.

Ridge arrived during the confrontation, caught between his father and the woman he’d chosen. Taylor, humiliated, walked out in silence, stopping Ridge from following with a bitter acknowledgment that she should’ve known this wouldn’t last. Eric, meanwhile, showed no remorse. He believed he was saving Ridge from a mistake, even if it meant tearing the family apart. Donna tried to calm him, but Eric was resolute—Taylor was not the right choice, and Ridge needed to wake up before it was too late.

As the dust settled, Ridge was left questioning everything. Was Taylor truly in his future, or had Eric’s brutal honesty exposed cracks already forming in their foundation? And what about Brooke, watching it all from the sidelines? Did Eric just do what she never could—push Ridge back to her? The fallout from this battle is far from over, and loyalties at Forrester are about to be tested like never before.
