@@songriver1232 Find out what narcissists do: they do everything just to be admired. They make themselves seem bigger and more important than they are. Brooke does that. Massimo is too self-confident. He doesn't care what others think of him. He does everything to protect his family. He's certainly stubborn and has a hard time accepting other opinions, but he's not ruthless. He kept quiet for months because Stephanie wanted it that way.

“You let me believe our situation was my fault” Eric it WAS your fault. You chose to support any bad decision Brooke made and was even willing to go against ridge when all he was trying to do is get YOUR company back from the woman who stole it from you. You chose to vote your son out of the company and prioritize your wife’s enemy over her. That was why she was angry. Massimo or not YOU are the one who pushed Steph and ridge away

[@nadiachaudhry6415]

I don't like Eric's attitude. Yes, his angry & has every right to be BUT how many times has he betrayed syephanie. I feel for her. She was honest with him. It takes guts

[@annieo6527]

Now, not only does Nick Payne have an instant connection to Massimo, but Jackie has an instant connection of her own to the Forresters, because she works for _Fenmore's._ This gives both mother and son an unearned place near the center of the show. This is Iazy storytelling if ever I saw it.

[@lil_jon411]

Did anyone else caught Eric contradicting something he said in the last episode. Here he says him and Steph barely knew each other but just last episode he said rhey loved each other and were dating each other (which is weird to say you don’t know her). Steph not telling him about the baby possibly not being his was wrong, it u still can’t feel sorry for Eric because if he didn’t cheat on Beth in the first place he would have never had to worry about if he was the father or not.

[@songriver1232]

I was always under the impression ridge came from an one night stand at a party they were at. Eric didn't even end things with beth in person He ghosted her completely

[@TriniT21]

It's bc the storyline is so stupid in the first place, that it has to be inconsistent for Eric to feel justified in his anger. The fact as the history of the show, is Eric was dating Beth when he met Steph.. Didn't bother to break it off with Beth when he met and slept with Steph. Whether he slept with Steph once or more than once, it means he was cheating on Beth.. Then ghosted her when Steph got pregnant. But Eric really can't be getting mad here.. He forgot he slept with and impregnated Brooke while married to Steph and wasn't even going to tell his own wife. So I'm not sure how he is all of a sudden some paragon of honesty. He's done Steph 10 times worse and she's forgiven him (which she never should have).

[@ahy4234]

Hmm, so Eric accuses Stephanie of not seeing him as an equal partner because she's hiding something to protect him. At this point he has known for decades that the company is actually Stephanie's...

[@ahy4234]

People trying to compare Stephanie to Brooke. PLEASE! Stephanie has always been a loving, protective mother. She would never sleep with her daughter's husband.

Stephanie also wasn’t kicked around and repeatedly abandoned by the love of her life having to watch him marry other women and being called sl_t at every chance before she even had done anything to deserve that label, all because who her mother was.

Every young man needs sex - do you think having sex equals love? And are 5 times that many? Later on he learned to live with Stephanie + the children were there, so it was a part of his inner acceptance of creating a family with the woman he barely knew, but married solely because of a pregnancy.

[@kymdp1969]

Ridge was born in Jan 1960 and we know Eric was a senior and Stephanie was a Freshman at North Western from earlier storylines. Conception was 1959 (Grease the movie was within that timeline). Contraception was not as easy to get hold of and less reliable but sleeping with two men within a cycle has caused doubts since the dawn of time! Stephanie must have had some doubts. Easier to hide in those days. Stephanie wanted Eric and he wanted Beth. He married Stephanie because it was expected and the right thing to do in those days.

Oh please, seriously? Stephanie ended her relationship with Mass when she got together with Eric. Something that can't be said about Brooke in almost any relationship.

[@rosmarygiovani]

Do you people hear what Eric said I asked you if there was someone else and you knew that you had slept with someone. Ok once it only takes once. Stephanie says she wasn't pregnant what BS did she get tested. No. She just wanted to trap Eric and couldn't accept anything else. Also Eric says I broke Beth Logans heart. We all know from the earlier episodes that Eric admits he and Beth were full in love and would have eventually got married if it wasn't for the popular stephanie RICH Douglas. This is where Stephanies hate for Brooke and her mother originates from her insecurity.

[@SuzanneAllen-ne2nr]

Brooke had two men (who were father and son then) j 1 z z i n g in s i d e h e r at the same time and didn't know which one had fathered her child. And one of those men was involved with her own mother. She also married her children's brothers (not once but twice) and had a child after a repeated affair with her daughter's husband.

[@rosmarygiovani]

No this just shows that you have no understanding about real life in general. Yes Eric was love bitten by Stephanie but he was not ready to marry her or leave beth logan. The pregnancy made him make a choice. He later obviously grew to love Stephanie very much and they had their family. They stayed together because of the family and the company. Eric however never forgot Beth. Eric's and Stephanie's marriage was not pure bliss however. In the earlier episodes we get the feeling that their marriage was hanging from a thread.
