Ridge and his double standard
mdtuttle
image

I find it amazing that Ridge can say in one breath that Stephanie and Eric built Forrester Creations from the ground up (which is true) As a result their children should be the ones to get the biggest cut of the pie. Basically leaving the left overs for Rick and Bridgette. I find the fact that Brooke wouldn't want her children to have a larger share humorous. But Ridge thinks he, the only one that doesn't have a dingle drop of Forrester blood in his viens should be the one to be in charge.

I don't discount the fact that his design talent is a major force for the company. I just don't think he should be the ONLY one of all the children that asume the leadership role. Thorne has proven he has a good buisness sense, as has Rick. Felecia can design and has a good relationship with a lot of the buyers as well.

I just find it odd that Ridge and Brooke think they should be the ones with all the power. It's almost like the think they are the only ones that can possibly bring Forester back to it's former glory.

I don't recall anything that Thorne has done to prove anything, but being there. Same with Rick, he does best by staying overseas.
It doesn't matter if Ridge has a drop of Eric's blood. He was raised by him, and has Stephanie's Forrester blood running through him.
It was her money that started the company, and Eric tried to steal it from her. He should never have been back at the helm.
Ridge shouldn't though, have the majority of shares. Of course Brooke's kids should share in the moolah. But the ones working there should have a bigger piece of the pie. For instance, Bridget shouldn't share as much as Rick, he works there.
And where does the double standard of Eric fall in to play? He treated Stephanie like crap, and lied to her. But her lies are worse than his?
No one screams double standard louder than Eric the philanderer.

Thorne made a success of Spectra when he worked at that company during his marrige to Darla. Something Ridge couldn't do when he owned the company. He has also built many valuable relationships with buyers at Forester.

Felicia has proven to be a successful designer. It was years ago but she designed several key peices in forrester collections. She also has experiance in buisness.

Rick has run the European division for many years now. He was also instrumental in a very successful collection for younger customer that was designed by none other then Amber.

I do agree with you on your assesment of the way Eric treated Stephanie over the years. Yes she lied to him as well. The key diffrence is Eric's lies were always self serving. When Stephanie lied it was usually to help a member of her family or Eric himself. I'm not saying that makes her lies right, but at least she was not doing it to further just her own agenda.

Stephanie deserves everything she is getting. Payback is a mother. First of all she lied about Ridge's parentage. She knew he was Massimo's son but passed him off as Eric's. She has schemed over the years and literally gotten away with murder on several occasions. Her favorite child is Ridge, she treats Thorne like he is a stepchild. Felicia is definitely her mother's daughter, conniving and scheming just like her holier than thou mother. Ridge should not be the head of Forrester. If anyone it should be Thorne and Rick. Ridge is no more Eric's son than Marcus is. So Donna's a schemer, BFD, she's fits right in with Stephanie, Felicia, Pam and skanky Brooke. Ridge has had so many scandals over the years that's it ludicrous that he has the nerve to point a finger at Donna.

Wow! With such ethics, I feel sorry for alot of adopted children. The only ones saying that JJ is not Erwimp's son, are some viewers.... For Erwimp, he is and always will be his son...

So and... as far as getting away with murder... I would never forgive myself, for being directly responsible for my brother's death... Both Brooke and Donna are responsible for Storme killling himself.. because they both had agendas to benefit only themself..

So... I wouldn't be painting Stephanie so bad, she has only protected her family, while those two have used them as pawns in a plot that lead to not only one death, but almost two.

Ridge is a Forrester... Erwimp still calls him son and I don't think that anyone else has the power over him, in choosing who belongs to him or not... and that includes Donna's son.. or maybe son... Marcus!

The only double standards I see here, lie in the argumentation...

How odd is it that out of all of Eric's children, it is Ridge, who has the most designing capability? His biological children have Stephanie's ability (??????)

I'm not saying that Ridge is not entitled to be treated like Eric's son. What i am saying is I find it od that by Ridge's own words it should be Eric and Stephanie's children that get the biggest share and he is not bilogiacally Eric's child. to me Rick and Bridgette should be just as entitled as He, Thorne, Felicia and Kristin. and what about Hope and RJ? Brooke has been a major factor and at own time the major stockholder in the company and RJ is Ridge's child. Not to mention Thomas, Steffy and Pheobe. It just seems to me Ridge's logic is directed to benifit him.

You don't see a double standard in thinking nothing of Stephanie letting Eric believe for years that Ridge was his bio son and condeming Donna for scandal because she had a son out of wedlock?????

When did Stephanie EVER, EVER.. condemn Donna for Marcus?

When has Stephanie Ever referred to Marcus.. as a scandal?

Stephanie found out about Ridge and held it from Erwimp for what, 2 years? Even after Erwimp found out, he wanted JJ to stay at Forrester. Which he did. Erwimp loved HIS SON anyway... blood this and blood that... gmab... so, JJ should treat Hope like crap because she is not his? Okay, then if your theory works, this would be his only course of action. But............. as Erwimp has continued to see JJ as his child, so has JJ, Hope........

Where is the double standard????

It's a mind game!

The only one of those children who had a problem with this whole move was Rick.... and he has never been a fan of JJ's, even when he took the rap for him shooting Grant Chambers......

That just may be, because, Erwimp has been trimming JJ for the job since he was young... and when Felicia said that on Friday... exactly that... then I suppose it is true.
