On Wednesday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Eric (John McCook) and Donna (Jennifer Gareis) met with Dr. Colby (Justiin Davis) at the Forrester mansion. It was then, we learned a little bit more insight into the medical diagnosis and issues facing the patriarch of the fashion dynasty family.

Eric has been suffering from tremors, where his hands shake, and he is unable to draw his sketches completely for his upcoming “Battle of the Forresters” fashion show vs his son, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye).

Dr Colby shares that the after ruling out some initial theories of what could be going on, “Cerebral vascular disease and TIAs are our main focus.” Donna is in shock. Eric tells the doctors that the tremors are getting worse and how he couldn’t even hold a pen to sign a contract. Dr. Colby says his office will be in touch to set up more tests, as this is all a process.

After the doctor leaves, Donna is emotionally shaken and upset and very concerned for her ‘honey bear’.  Eric shares that he didn’t want to hurt or worry her. Holding him, Donna says, “You shouldn’t have to suffer through this alone.” Donna vows that together, “We’re going to fight this. Once we figure out what this is, we’re going to get the best therapy, the best medicine.”

When she tells Eric that he must let Ridge and the family know what is going on, he refuses, stating, “I want to do this my way.”  Eric is determined, health and all, that for the upcoming fashion show that his new designs will be his best ever. He tells Donna, “This will be my finest collection, my final line.” Eric firmly details how he started this company with his own hands and he can take it back, adding, “There’s only one master here and it’s me. It’s Eric Forrester.”

Later, when Donna exits to make them some tea. Eric picks up a pencil and starts to sketch a dress design, until he starts having a coughing attack. He grabs a tissue to cough in it, but when he pulls it away and looks down, he sees fresh blood.  A look of grave concern comes over Eric’s face, and we fade to black.

Check out a key moment from yesterday’s B&B below Dr. Colby, Donna and Eric.

Finally, a story that doesn’t have to do with Hope, Liam, Steffy or Finn. It’s always exciting when B&B gets back to its roots with fashion stories, and I’m glad Eric is being given front-burner story again. He’s been the heart and soul of the show since Stephanie passed away, and has been criminally underutilized in recent years.

Finally a good story without pukey Liam whining but I will very sad if John McCook leaves!

I do not think it is amusing at all for this idiot Brad Bell to bring up an illness when poof it will be gone in four weeks never talked about again! Stay in you fantasy world with your mannequins etc

It will not be the same if Eric (John) leaves the show.

I thought maybe Parkinson’s untill he coughed blood. Now I don’t know

I thought that as well, but now I’m thinking TB? Or lung cancer? IDK either. Lol thanks for letting me share. Peace ️ everyone

Eric is such a great guy and to have Donna at his side is beautiful chemistery.she is the best wife for him.please keep their bond together.

Don’t drag this out. Eric is acting like a spoiled person
Needs to shape up.

Sick people change the closer they get to death. As a medical person, I saw this first hand.

Family should know. Everyone

Ridge would be supportive.

I am so sick of Sheila and whiny Liam. If Sheila remains much longer or Eric leaves, I’m gone.

Eric just signed 3 yr contract. Says he’s not going anywhere

I like Thomas and Hope together, Liam isn’t true to Hooe.

I think Eric has Parkinson’s

It is time for Erics son Thorne to step in and show he is as good or better designer than Ridge.

I agree! Besides, he’s a real Forrester, i hope that he’ll take over Forrester’s Creations & Ridge is thrown to the curve along w/high & mighty Steffy!

I didn’t know Thorne was a designer. When dud that happen?

I was coughing up blood in 2013 Turned out to be a tumor in my lung had lung surgery was the most painful surgery ive ever had and I have had several but I’m still here

I think he has lung cancer or ALS

OMG, we gave so many Doctors on here.l

I don’t know what Eric is suffering from but I certainly hope that they will have a cure for it!

I think it is TB

Just when you think B & B find a couple worth watching, Hope and Thomas, they destroy them . So much chemistry !! Hope and Finn is a losing storyline. If B & B put Hope and Finn in bed, they will find out how fast that we can change to channel ! It is sickening !!

Glad Eric is getting a story. Writers please keep Hope and Thomas working toward each other. They have amazing chemistry.

I think there’s something wrong with Eric that needs to be fixed that can be fixed until he gets his daughter working on it it’s not going to be fixed so he needs to get his daughter on it

I’m glad to see we’re moving on to Eric and other aspects of the B&B. I almost stopped watching with all the “love scenes” between Hope and Thomas. I’m sorry, Hope is a pretty lady but soft porn is not her sexy.

Steffy and Carter

After taking a second pregnancy test on the Friday, September 12 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) freaks out ever more when it come back positive, too. Leading her to shriek, multiple times over, “Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m pregnant!”

As previously reported, CBS and The Bold and the Beautiful have already confirmed that in the story, the baby Steffy is carrying is Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) which kicks-off their 40th season of storytelling. However, could there be a twist down the line that it’s really Finn’s (Tanner Novlan)?

On Friday’s episode, Carter gets a text from his wife, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) telling him she wants to talk more about surrogacy later, since she cannot carry Carter’s child, and the couple was exploring ways for them to have a baby. Suddenly, Carter flashes back to waking up next to Steffy on the couch in the office after they had sex the night before in their drunken stupor.

CARTER DEVISES A PLAN

Then, Steffy comes whirling into the office demanding to talk to Carter right away. Steffy is informing Carter that she has to tell Finn about their night together more than ever! A confused Carter asked her what changed, when they agreed to keep their one night together a secret? Carter tells her if she reveals what happened between them, it will tear about all of their lives.

Carter thinks nothing will come of their “mistake” if they keep their mouth shut. Steffy responds, “You’re wrong.” She goes on to explain that she’s pregnant! That declaration stuns Carter and we fade to black.

However, it was the preview for the action next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, that aired at the end of Friday’s episode and is now all over B&B’s social media that is the real tell-tale sign of where this story is heading.

B&B SPOILERS

In a scene airing next week, Carter says to Steffy, “I have a way out of the situation for all of us!” This comes on the heels of Daphne telling Carter she wishes she knew someone who would be their surrogate. So, putting two and two together, it looks like Carter will come up with the idea to pass Steffy and his baby off as the surrogate child of Carter and Daphne.

Look no further than the official B&B spoilers for episodes airing Monday, September 14- Friday, September 18 and the teaser lines of the Steffy/Carter baby drama to back that up below.

Monday, September 14, Steffy’s news complicates things even more with Carter, while on Tuesday, September 15, 2026  Daphne is hopeful she and Carter will be able to find a surrogate and Carter rushes to stop Steffy. On Wednesday, September 16, Carter makes a passionate plea. and by Thursday, September 17, Daphne can’t believe Carter’s suggestion. Then come Cliffhanger Friday, September 18, Steffy is caught off guard.

So, what do you think how it look to be Carter who originated plan to keep the truth from ever coming out, that he and Steffy had sex, and the best way to do this is for Steffy to be the surrogate for Carter and Daphne’s child? How complicated will the cover-up eventually get? Will Steffy fall in love with the baby making this whole thing untenable for her?

Jason and Britt

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.

Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.

However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON

Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.

He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.

Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”

General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”

So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

Steffy

On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.

The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.

Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.

It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.

At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.

So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with? Share your thoughts and theories for this major story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, via the comment section.
