B&B Spoilers: Ridge Makes an Instant Decision
Bold and beautiful I left a clue even before Ridge Forrester motioned for Finn to press the button that would end Eric Forrester’s life. Too many people were missing from his bedside for this to be the Forrester patriarch’s final scene.
Ridge seemed so eager to do the deed that he didn’t get any further with the notifications than the select few in the room. They are the only people who had the chance to say so many things to Eric.
We agree that Ridge has a medical power of attorney and that he carries Eric’s wishes but he is already acting too quickly & he is not calling his brothers and sisters who should be there

But what about his other children and grandchildren? Bold and beautiful fans saw this as a selfish act on Ridge’s part. Even if he let his father go to respect his wishes, why the urgency?
Of course, Ridge talked a good game, recalling Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) of Eric’s wishes. He mentioned how Eric said he didn’t want it experimental treatment or to stay alive using machines. But now it seems like Ridge Forrester is in a huge hurry to get the show on the road.
“Bold and the Beautiful” Spoilers: Eric Wakes Up
Sometimes people wake up from a coma remembering what their loved ones told them. But at the time, they were unable to move a single muscle to respond. So maybe that’s it Guest rooms has in store for Eric Forrester.
It is possible that this urgency to unplug Eric was enough to stir it to consciousness, if only for a second or two.
Now that Ridge’s family has seen this spark of life surface, Ridge Forrester will likely have a battle on his hands this week. Bold and beautiful.
Eric Forrester may not make it right away. So the family is probably fighting to keep Ridge from pulling the plug.
Or the inflexible son might stand his ground and insist on pulling the plug on his father. But that does not mean Eric must die. He might still have enough strength to intervene alone.
