Why does The Bold and the Beautiful keep breaking tradition?
Whatever Happened To The Forrester Family Thanksgiving?
For decades, The Bold and the Beautiful offered fans a reliable holiday tradition: The Forrester Thanksgiving Dinner at Eric’s mansion. The long table, the hand-holding circle, and the gratitude speeches were staples — a comforting, iconic gathering that represented family unity, regardless of how chaotic the year had been. Since 2017, there has been no grand dinner, no full family gathering, and the tradition has ceased. Fans have noticed this change.
Times Have Changed” — But Should They?
This marks a shift in the storylines and B&B’s relationship with its traditions. Thanksgiving, once a key family event, has undergone significant changes. In 2023, the show missed a heartfelt reunion when Eric was critically ill. In 2024, Hope and Carter took over Forrester Creations. This year, Ridge spent Thanksgiving with Steffy and family, not Brooke, despite their "destiny." Viewers were puzzled as Ridge celebrated with Steffy, Finn, and Taylor, having arrived uninvited. He mentioned an earlier lunch with Brooke, Eric, and Donna, but his choice to leave Brooke for the evening seemed odd and inconsistent with the storyline.
FINAL THOUGHT!
This Thanksgiving had the potential to be impactful, emotional, and unforgettable. However, it came across as fragmented, unfinished, and detached from the show's rich history. Fans were not just disappointed — they felt deprived of a tradition that had defined The Bold and the Beautiful for years. If there was ever a year that needed an authentic Forrester Thanksgiving at Eric's, it was this one.
