Quote greeneyes53: Quote scparrothead: Donna's mistake was not kicking Brooke out with the rest of them!!  Unless I am mistaken.........being a newbie.......since Brooke and Ridge are not yet married, in what position would Brooke be fired from? Does Brooke already have a job with the company? Brooke does have a position with the company. Although at this point I am not really clear on what that is. |

Quote scparrothead: Unless I am wrong, Donna got Nick to sell the company (FC) back to Eric. He (Eric) let Ridge and Brooke work with him. I don't know that anyone else in the family has any interest in Forester Creations now, It it Eric's company. the interest the have in it is as Eric's children. Eric has said from the very beginning that Forrester Creations was his legacy. He intended to leave it for his children, all of his children not just Ridge. The thing is he decided he was not ready to step down just yet. Was that the smartest choice? No one can ever ay for sure but the bottem line is it was his choice to make. After he thought about the way Ridge was pressuring him he decided he was not ready to step aside just yet. Now, do I think Ridge, Thorne and Felicia should continue to play a key role at Forester? Absolutly! Granted they and Donna have both been inmature in their actions. The whole point and focus now should be to save the company. I don't think what Donna did is going to end up being a good thing for the comapany. |

I don't think Donna made any mistakes. She did what she had to do. If she is in charge, she needed to remove the enemies. The Forrester kids would continue to sabotage her and try to make her look bad. They were not interested in making the company a success for Eric. Ridge only wanted to be in charge, Felicia and Thorne are both Ridges puppets. |

Quote angie850: Quote mdtuttle: Quote LunchtimeListner: Ridge has made his share of mistakes * Falsely pleaded guilty of shooting Grant Chambers to protect Rick, the real shooter. * Taken by an email setup to impregnate Morgan DeWitt. * Daughter Steffy was kidnapped. * Demoted from CEO of Forrester Creations to Head Designer. * Injured drawing hand during a fist fight, impairing his ability to design. * Once raped a half-conscious Brooke when desperate to get her back into his life. * Two assaults under his belt – one against Ambrosia Moore and one against Rick, who was dating Ridge’s young daughter, Phoebe. * Hid dead body of Shane McGrath in the San Francisco Bay. * Consoled Brooke after Andy Johnson raped her. Went after Andy and witnessed Andy’s accidental electrocution. I think Eric would fire them himself if he could. I completley agre with you that Ridge has messed up more than once. But I still contend Donna made a mistake in kicking the Forrester children out of the company. I'm not saying the didn't deserve it, my point is this. Donna herself says she she is inexperianced at running the buisness. Add to that the fact that she herself has no design talent. Plus she plans on putting Marcus, her son in charge of shipping and reciving. Nothing against Marcus, he is a good kid and a hard worker but again he has not got the experiance needed to run an entire division of a company. I think her sesicion was based on hurt feelings, which she has every right to have. But she should seperate buisness and personal feelings. IF she truly wants to prove the Forrester clan wrong she should put her personal feelings to one side and make her desicions based on what would be best for the buisness, not what she wants. You are exactly right. All these "Donna fans" around here continue to say "Go Donna", yet their precious Donna is doing the one thing that is going to cause Eric to lose his business. She is letting her personal feelings get in the way of good common business sense (which she obviously has NONE). She would have come out a better person if she had allowed the lifeblood of Forrester to continue to keep the business profitable. Regardless of attitudes, Forrester Creations belongs to the Forresters!! Felicia, Ridge and Thorne have EVERY right to keep the family business going while Eric lingers in a comatose state. And if Eric had known he would become comatose, he would have wanted Ridge to take over and for God's sake keep his business going, and we all know that!! I think with all the stress he was under- due to the Forrester kids- is the cause of his heart attack. Donna is a Forrester! You Ridge,Felicia and Thorne Fans forget- not only did Eric keep telling his kids he loved Donna, he married her and made her the POA. So get over it already! |

Quote mdtuttle: Quote nicabelle: Donna's mistake??... DONNA DIDNT MAKE A MISTAKE!  Making a buisness desicion based soley on personal feelings is a mistake no matter how you cut it. Don't get me wrong I think Donna had every right to be angry, she did. But firing everyone like that was cutting off her nose to spite her face. Well the Forresters- will take revenge it is in their nature...I remember Donna said as long as I have breath...the company would be Eric's, until he is ready to give it up. You saw yourself he said; he wasn't ready to step down. You also know, if Ridge took over, the plan was to let Eric stick around for "PR" but Donna wasn't going to welcome at FC. They wanted her to leave- so she just did what Eric's wishes was. Donna is Eric's POA, he made that decision without even telling her. He left he to make decisions for her....and I think she made the only decision that made sense. |

I was happy to see the Forrester divas get a good slap but who will design? Donna questioned herself after she made the announcement. If only Ridge, Thorne & Felicia hadn't insisted on all of the pie things may have gone differently. Donna felt they were betraying Eric. I think she should have kept Ridge and Thorne on in some capacity but shown Felicia the door. |

Don't get me wrong I think Donna had every right to be angry, she did. But firing everyone like that was cutting off her nose to spite her face. I totally agree, and if it weren't personal why didn't she get rid of Brooke too. It was her AND Ridge's idea to move Eric aside and let them take over. She should have used her power to have Rick take over completely and let the other children remain in their places. What experience does she have to run a business? Eric can trust Rick so he should be the one to run the company. Ridge, Brooke, Thorne, and Felicia right now cannot be trusted but they need to remain on board for the company's sake because they aren't going to do anything to hurt the business. |

As far as her expertise in running the company or putting Rick or her son Marcus in positions, I see nothing wrong with that. Rick is Eric's son ans has more blood than Ridge. Donna's only mistake was to trust Owen, but hopefully he will turn out to help her and not hurt her. The kids are HER enemies though NOT the FC's |

BUT, still I think that Donna should have let allt he children stay on because if they were to be let go she should let Eric decide that for himself. |

Donna was smart to stop Ridge, for now, until Eric can make that call himself! They need to show him some respect! |

I think Donna made the right decision in not signing over the company and definitely in firing Felicia. I don't think she used the best judgement in firing Ridge and Thorne. They could have run the company and maybe even brought it back to the top. Rick will need them to keep things going. And putting Marcus over shipping may not have been a wise decision. |

Iwill agree wou make some valid points, however a design house without a designer isn't much of a buisness. Not to mention customer identifacation. The buyers have been doing with Forrester for years, they are the ones that were cutting back on orders because of Donna in the first place. Now Donna, the person they don't trust is in charge. And Ridge, Thorne and Felicia the people the buyers do trust are on the outside. Right or wrong aside, no clients buying = no sales = no buisness. |

I agree with you that Eric loves Donna and wants his kids to accept it. that is not the point. Donna, whether she loves Eric or not DOES NOT have the expertise to run a buisness like Forrester. Owne is pumping her up because he hopes to gain from all of this I'm sure. Donna's desicion was not smart buisness. Yes she had a right to be upset. Yes Felicia crossed the line. Yes there was a lot of tension going on that more than likely did contribute to Eric's heart attack. The bottem line is I don't think any of the parties involved are really thinking of what Eric wants at this point. Ridge wants to be in charge, Thorne and Felicia want to be ris of Donna and Donna wants to flex her mucsles and prove she is not going to be pushed around by the Forrester kids. I'd love Eric to wake up and tell ALL of them they are acting like spoiled little brats. |
