    I guess Zende is left out of the design wars?

    Man, WHERE has Zende BEEN?? I miss him!


    With all of this focus on Eric/RJ vs Ridge/Thomas, the only other designer it seems that is missing is Zende. I really wish he could be included in this story somehow, that we could still see him designing or maybe feeling pulled in different directions by his feuding family. Perhaps he could be a voice of reason, or help to bring the different parties together, maybe work with RJ and Thomas as part of the next generation to pull all of their ideas together instead of them being wrenched apart. It's funny, because RJ stated all along that he didn't want to be involved in the "family drama," and yet now he's firmly taken a side, so maybe Zende could be the one to fill that role.


    I dunno, I just find it strange that we haven't seen him amidst all of the current happenings!

    IMO, it's really dumb that Eric is using R.J. as his design puppet. R.J. has no experience and never had a desire to design in the past. It would have made much more sense if Eric went to Zende for help, Zende who is an experienced, talented designer. The R.J. crap is making me sick.

      Eric and Zende flopped when designing HFTF together. Since The Anointed One came back it's been Zende who?

      It flopped because of Eric. He didn't come clean to Zende about his arthritis, so he came up with crappy designs. He should have been honest with Zende and sought his help the way he's doing with R.J. right now. Idiot.

    H_Harriet, it's also odd that Zende hasn't been mentioned by Eric, given that they actually designed together before, working on HFTF in Thomas' absence! I recall that it was mentioned that they made beautiful designs together, even if they didn't quite capture Hope's "vision" the way that Thomas did.


    Zende is also, in my humble opinion, one of the sharpest dressers on the show! It would be really cool to see him design a men's line or something.


    I agree about RJ's accelerated ascent into the fashion world. We watched Zende gradually move up the ranks from intern, to photographer, and finally, to a designer, which was a very cool progression to see. With RJ, all we've really heard is that he has no interest at all in being a part of FC, to designing with the founding designer of FC. Helping Eric to achieve his vision is a noble endeavor, and it's lovely that he is demonstrating his love for his grandfather, but I still bristle at Zende being left out of the equation completely because I feel he has really earned his keep in the company and is an already established talent. When RJ came back on the scene, I actually thought that perhaps we'd be seeing him interact with Zende, as they seem a bit closer in age, and maybe a friendship and working relationship would be established, or even a friendly rivalry of sorts. I'm ultimately just disappointed at the continued absence of this wonderful character, especially when he has so much history on the show and could continue to drive new stories!

      Where is Zende? I haven't seen him, since I started watching again. I miss him. And I agree that it should be Zende in this storyline and not RJ.

        I can’t say that so miss Zende, but I could certainly do without Mary Sue RJ.

      So they are again acting as if Zende isn't part of the family huh? Shocker.

        I miss Zende also. He is what I would imagine a fashion designer to be. He's so handsome and sophisticated. I have not liked the way he's been written since Paris treated him like crap. Are they back together now? I think there is room for RJ, too, but I wish Zende was the one showing him the ropes.

          He gets mentioned every now and again but the total focus is on the ''anointed'' one

            Saying R.J. is "the annointed one" is ridiculous, Eric. Zende is the one who is an experienced, talented, established, sharp designer. R.J. is just your puppet. Zende even looks like a fashion designer. R.J. looks like he should be surfing or trolling the internet. This is ridiculous. FYI, Eric, Zende may be adopted, but R.J. isn't your blood either.

          Zende works for HFTF. Thomas appreciates his contributions to that line as Thomas is the head designer.

            Maybe Zende will go with Hope and Thomas when they take the HFTF brand and start their own company. I like that. Paris could too.

          Maybe he went back to Nicole in New York

            Doesn't Zende live at the Forrester mansion with Eric? I'm confused.

              Good question where is Zende?…He should have been included in the Eric storyline…RJ just came home and he is already center stage.. !!!

                I get it's Eric and RJ vs Ridge and Thomas, but surely Zende could have been a part of the Forrester umbrella story too. He's just as much an F as Thomas and Ridge and RJ plus he's been working and knows both Eric and Ridge's styles.

                  Zende is just an extra that apparently has no talent even though he's been a designer for a while. In the meantime, 'RJ' is now the greatest future designer in the history of the world without actually having created anything that's been subjected to public scrutiny. Guess Zende's not real enough of a Forrester for them. Shocker? NOT!

                    Please. Zende is just as much of a "Forrester" as Ridge or R.J. who are really blood Marones. So Zende was adopted. What's the difference
                    It's really ticking me off that Zende isn't the one helping Eric. Damn you, Eric Forrester! Zende is a truly talented, established, savvy designer. R.J. is an internet flunky. WTH is wrong with you, Eric? You really are losing your damn marbles!

                      Where is Paris too? Wasn’t there a time when both Zende and Thomas praising her style and eye for for design? They were asking her for her opinions on their designs? Did Paris’ mom take them both to see her sister in Paris? Why isn’t Zende being treated as much as a grandchild as the others?
