‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers document that what was teased as a final goodbye did not happen. Eric Forrester (John McCook) does not want to head to heaven.
Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) was the first to see him move his eyes. That happened one second before the machines were about to be shut off. Then Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) command came.
With loved ones gathered, John Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) looked to Ridge for direction. Kaye’s character nodded, which signaled it was okay to turn off the machines. They were keeping the celebrated co-founder of Forrester Creations and the patriarch of the Forrester family alive.
Ridge was forced to interpret what his father would do in this life-or-death scenario. He made an unpopular decision. Kaye’s character did not approve Finn’s experimental treatment plan at first and wanted to let Eric go.

Feeling justified is subjective. And so it was for Ridge, who was firm in his belief and was prepared to say farewell to his dad.
He understood the feelings Donna and the others had. But knowing Eric as he has since boyhood, Ridge felt it best to order the machinery turned off.
Yet, Eric would not want to live in a suspended state indefinitely or become an experiment to satisfy the misguided hopes of others. His eye movement could be involuntary or represent a conscious desire to remain with his family and friends.
