In the world of soap operas, drama is the name of the game. But behind the scenes of The Bold and the Beautiful, two actors, John McCook and Thorsten Kaye, are showing that even when their characters clash on screen, they’re actually great friends off-screen. And in their latest storyline, they’re about to take fans on a rollercoaster ride. Let’s find out what’s in store for the fans!
John McCook Shed Light On The Real Winner
Longtime The Bold And The Beautiful fans of the show may remember one of its most iconic storylines, the “Battle for BeLieF.” This storyline revolved around a miracle solution created by Brooke, making clothing rumple-free. But this time, the battle is not about wrinkle-free clothes. It’s a battle between dueling designers, Eric and Ridge, portrayed by McCook and Kaye.

John McCook, who has been a part of B&B since 1976, brings an incredible amount of experience and gravitas to his role as Eric Forrester. The patriarch and lead designer at Forrester Creations. When asked about the rivalry between Eric and Ridge, John emphasizes that while it might matter to Eric whether his design line tops Ridge’s, that’s not the real issue when it comes to performing.
What’s truly exciting about this new storyline, as John points out, is that it involves practically every character on the canvas. The ongoing storyline of The Bold And The Beautiful is not just about Eric and Ridge. But also about the other characters who are already taking sides in this brewing family feud. Donna wants what makes Eric happy. Brooke is firmly on Ridge’s side. And even characters like Carter and Katie have been gently debating about what’s best for Forrester Creations. The storyline is reaching far and wide within the show’s universe.
The Bold And The Beautiful: Eric And RJ’s Journey Of Self-Discovery
Adding depth to the storyline is the involvement of the younger generation, RJ Forrester. He initially turned down his father Ridge’s attempts to get him into the family business. But now, RJ is stepping up to help his granddad. Thorsten Kaye, who plays Ridge on The Bold And The Beautiful, can relate to this generational dynamic, as a real-life father of two. He humorously shares that sometimes he feels relevant until he talks to his kids, highlighting the generation gap that exists in real life as well as on the show.

Thorsten finds it fascinating to see the bond between Eric and RJ, as both characters grapple with similar conflicts. RJ, like Eric, is trying to find his place in the world. Eric believes he still has something to contribute to the fashion world. This shared journey of self-discovery creates a unique connection between the two characters and generations. John predicts that this storyline will inevitably lead to a rift within the company, and no matter whose side fans are on, it promises to be a fun and engaging story to watch unfold.
