The Bold And The Beautiful is one of the most loved American soaps that airs on CBS. The beloved sudser has been on air for decades and has successfully managed to create a legacy of its own. In fact, so much so, that forget the characters, even inanimate objects on the soap have also achieved the “iconic” status! Today, we are going to honor one such historic object that has made a smashing return to B&B after quite a long absence!

Those who tuned into the recent episodes of The Bold And The Beautiful, will probably guess the point in case easily. However, if you haven’t, we are talking about Eric Forrester’s beloved STAPLER! Yup, you’ve read that right- and there is no wordplay here. We really are talking about a stapler- the stationery item that pins paper sheets together! See! we weren’t kidding when we said that B&B’s legacy is such that even inanimate objects achieve cult status!

If you think we are kidding and over exaggerating -well, we have proof! In a recent B&B episode, when Carter Walton was ruffling through items in a desk drawer, he found Eric Forrester’s lost stapler. The same stapler that Luna had unintentionally recovered back in November 2024. Her discovery put Eric on Cloud 9. Moreover, it bought Luna several brownie points with Eric and Ridge. (Too bad, she lost it all by being her murderess self.)

Coming back to the point, the minute the CBS soap aired the stapler scene, fans went berserk! They took to social media to acknowledge the return of the stapler and created quite a hilarious furor about it. “I just watched Friday’s Valentine’s Day episode and was ecstatic to see that the dramatic storyline arc of Eric’s stapler is continuing.” A fan wrote on Reddit. Meanwhile, another replied to it saying, “The stapler has had more of a storyline than Zende.” Some others took that statement forward by adding Ridge and Carter’s names to the list.

Many other fans joined the conversation to share that they had a good laugh over the stapler’s return. Well, honestly, we enjoyed it too! Silly things like these are what add humor to the soaps! So we aren’t complaining! What about you? Did you enjoy the unexpected return? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more such fun The Bold and The Beautiful updates.
