Having always cherished her as part of his family, he’s appalled by Steffy’s behavior and disappointed in Ridge for not intervening. For Eric, this is more than just a family dispute; it’s an affront to his values and his close relationship with Hope, whom he sees as embodying kindness and integrity.
