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.

Then let us know, what do you ultimately think Eric is suffering from? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

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.

Ava

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!

Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.

Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?

At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.

Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.

Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?

Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.

Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt  Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.

You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.

Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

Bill and Katie

The future isn’t looking so bright for longtime loves Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), when on the Wednesday, November 11 episode Katie wants Bill to leave and give her some space, and to stay away from her!

Katie explains she wanted none of this, but now her insecurity and fear of Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Bill has made it impossible. Bill pleads his case, “I was just trying to help” by speaking with Brooke. Katie tells him, well he didn’t, far from it, it’s all backfired in his face.

Bill insists to Katie that everything he did was for her and her sisters. Katie isn’t buying it. In her mind, Bill has always wanted to stick it to the Forresters. So what changed? She then asks him point blank, if he is still attracted to Brooke? Bill says “no,” but Katie said she wishes she could believe him. He tries to explain that him getting together with Brooke was to broker peace between the Logan sisters.

THE TRUST IS BROKEN

Katie speaks to how she is building her own company, making something of herself, and Bill says to her, “You don’t have to lose the people that you love to prove that you can win.”

Next, Katie is convinced Bill was flirting with Brooke because he texted Brooke a Stallion emoji (she has a point, no?). That reminded Katie of the worst time in her life when he was having an affair with her sister!

She points out how Brooke destroyed her life and took Will away from her and he was sent to boarding school, so why shouldn’t she strike back? Bill tries to point out again, that Katie is going to lose her sisters. But, a defiant Katie fires back, “If they can’t accept me for who I am … so be it!”

Next, Bill says he doesn’t buy it and becomes very emotional calling his wife, “my Katie”.  However, now in a puddle of tears, Katie says those words can’t fix everything. Seeing he is not getting anywhere, Bill walks towards the door and says, “I will hate being apart from you, but I’ll do it for you.”

He vows to never stop fighting for them. Katie’s says, “Goodbye, Bill.”  The music swells, Bill exits, and Katie crawls into a ball on the couch in a dramatic overhead shot to end the episode.
