A life-altering revelation is about to rock Eric Forrester to his core, arriving at the exact moment when he feels more invisible than ever. In the coming episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, Eric reaches a breaking point—emotionally isolated, professionally sidelined, and quietly questioning whether his legacy has already been written without him.

Since Ridge firmly took the reins at Forrester Creations, Eric has felt himself fading into the background of the very empire he built. Invitations to key meetings stop coming. Decisions are finalized before he’s even consulted. His latest designs, once celebrated as visionary, are now met with courteous nods rather than excitement. What wounds Eric most isn’t the loss of control—it’s the crushing sense that his passion is being treated like a relic of the past.

Ridge believes he’s steering the company toward progress, convinced that modernization requires firm leadership and decisive change. What he fails to see is that Eric’s creative fire never went out. Eric still lives for the feel of fabric, the spark of a new idea, the thrill of bringing beauty into the world. Being nudged toward irrelevance feels less like retirement and more like betrayal—both as a father and as an artist.

As Eric wrestles with this quiet heartbreak, an unexpected visitor arrives, shattering what little emotional balance he has left.

Dylan asks to see him alone.

Her appearance is unsettling from the start, reopening wounds tied to the recent tragedy surrounding Luna’s death. From the moment she steps into the room, Eric senses this isn’t a casual visit. Dylan is tense, distracted, clearly carrying something heavy. She struggles to speak, stopping and starting as guilt and fear battle for control.

At first, Dylan hints that her connection to Eric runs deeper than he realizes. Eric assumes grief may be clouding her judgment. But Dylan insists this conversation has nothing to do with the accident, nor with seeking forgiveness. This is about a truth she’s buried for years—one she can no longer carry alone.

Finally, with trembling hands, Dylan reveals the reason she came. She produces a document she’s kept hidden, explaining she had a DNA test done in secret. The results confirm the impossible: Eric Forrester is her biological father.

The revelation lands like a thunderclap.

Eric is stunned into silence, struggling to comprehend how such a truth could remain concealed for so long. Dylan explains that fear, circumstance, and unresolved pain kept her quiet. But watching Eric be pushed aside at Forrester—and carrying the weight of recent guilt—forced her to finally confront reality.

As Dylan speaks about her mother, sharing details Eric hasn’t thought about in decades, memories begin to resurface. Faces, moments, and choices he once buried come rushing back. Slowly, disbelief gives way to recognition. The truth becomes undeniable.

Eric is overwhelmed by conflicting emotions—regret for the years lost, anger over the secrecy, and an unexpected sense of connection he can’t explain away. This discovery couldn’t come at a more complicated time. Already questioning his place in his family and company, Eric must now face the existence of a daughter he never knew he had—one whose life is tangled in tragedy and guilt.

Standing at the intersection of past and future, Eric is forced to reconsider everything: his legacy, his family, and whether the path Ridge has set for him is truly the end of his story.

The question now is clear: Will this shocking father-daughter revelation finally push Eric to reclaim his power—both in his family and in the fashion world?
