The Bold and the Beautiful’s Eric Forrester to Throw Family Gala as He Gets Closer to His Imminent Demise

Viewers of The Bold and the Beautiful have been wondering if an eleventh hour reprieve will save the life of the patriarch of the Forrester fashion dynasty, Eric Forrester.

This has also raised concerns that Daytime Emmy winner, John McCook (Eric), might be exiting the show as one of the only two original cast members – the other being Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke).

Now, McCook took to his Instagram to share an article that appears in the latest edition of TV Guide Magazine, which previews that Eric is going to throw a party for his family with the intent of saying goodbye to them, since he believes most of them are not aware that he is dying. Problem is, many of the family do know and are gut-punched, but haven’t let on to Eric that they know.

As previously announced, Winsor Harmon is set to return to B&B on December 5th to reprise his role as Thorne Forrester with Ashley Jones to follow on December 6th reprising her role as Dr. Bridget Forrester. Thorne and Bridget return to Los Angeles in anticipation of the family gala, not knowing what it’s truly all about.  No airdate was given in the article, as to when the party episodes begin.

McCook shared to TV Guide,“There’s something wonderful about having these relationships that we have as actors on the show. It’s very special for us to all be in the room together.”

Back on October 30th, The Bold and the Beautiful’s supervising producer, Casey Kasprzyk, posted on X ,”Filming 10 shows this week, and let’s just say it’s going to be very emotional for everyone.” This was attached to a photo of Eric Forrester’s portrait over the Forrester mansion mantel. Could it be that these upcoming party episodes were what Casey was referring to?

One key point thus far, is that while the doctor has told Eric (and secretly Brooke and Ridge) that he only has a few months left to live, there has been no definitive diagnosis that has been given for what ails Eric to the audience. We know he is coughing up blood and having tremors.  The doctor had revealed to Eric and Donna that Eric was having TIA’s (transient ischemic attack, AKA mini-strokes) but it was part of a bigger picture that he was trying to get to the bottom of.

So, with all that said, and with this heartbreaking ‘goodbye’ party that Eric is going to throw, do you really think he is going to die, or will a cure be found …. or misdiagnosis be revealed? Comment below.

I really hope Eric isn’t dying, because John McCook is the beating heart of B&B. However, if he does pass, I really hope the writers use it as an opportunity to bring ALL the Forrester children back into the fold. Thorne and Bridget’s returns are welcome, but Felicia, Kristen and Rick have been MIA for years with no explanation. There are endless storyline possibilities if the show focused on the Forresters instead of it being all about Ridge, Brooke, Liam, Hope & Steffy all the time.

Thorne and Rick could team up to take over as heads of Forrester, and the rivalry between them and Ridge could be reignited.

Kristen and Zende can go off and start their own rival fashion house (and even bring a few Spectra’s with them!) since he has been sidelined in recent months.

Felicia could be paired with Bill, who is in desperate need of a new story and love interest. She could also bring her son Dino with her to buff up the younger set and create a love triangle with R.J. and Luna.

Meanwhile, Bridget could return to the hospital where she and Finn could start getting close, causing drama between her and Steffy.

There are so many possibilities if B&B were actually invested in writing for the trove of characters it has waiting on the sidelines for meaty material. If only…

I think exactly like you and have written this before. For my part, I would like Eric to die in order to relaunch the soap which has lost all its interest with Steffy, Hope and Liam. Let the Forresters: Felicia, Kristen and Rick come back to the forefront. He plays an essential role in the soap as the son of Brooke and Eric and rival of Ridge! Felicia & Bill would make a very beautiful couple! Zende needs his mother’s support. I wish Bridget would finally have an explanation with Deacon after all these years. That would be so much more interesting than Liam’s constant whining! With Roger Howarth’s departure from General Hospital, the actor could be hired to play Zack Hamilton (Taylor’s brother) or Connor Davies.

I agree can’t stand Liam with his constant whining and going from Steffy to Hope, Hope and Thomas make a good couple as do Steffy and Finn kick Liam to the kerb no part for him play.

How about Bridget & Bill?

Am looking forward to seeing Bridget and Thorne again. So sick of Ridge and Brooke lately and now with Zende causing trouble because of his jealousy for RJ. You could tell today that he’s going after his girlfriend, just hope she doesn’t fall for his crap. Also, what’s with Finn? He’s a Dr. Isn’t he, so why isn’t he stepping up to see if he can help Eric?

Brad Bell still the biggest joke in the soap world! KKL still trying to learn how to act after years and Thorsten Kaye ugh! KA a kick in the pants playing Taylor and he abused her now another long lost child of Don Diamont ugh

How Brad keeps up the fallacy of a show based on fashion in LA without one gay character remains quite unbelievable.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Preview: Josslyn Lands Herself in Hot Water with Cassius; Brennan is on the Warpath

Published

By

This week on all-new episodes of General Hospital, danger lurks for Josslyn (Eden McCoy) after her nosying around puts her right in the path of Cassius (Ryan Paevey). The WSB agent is on her own mission to find out how the supposed return of ‘Nathan West’ is mixed up in Faison’s final project, and what happened to Anna Devane, who claims she saw Faison, but was apparently gaslighted by Cullum and company.

In the latest ABC promo for the daytime drama series, Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) voice is also heard exclaiming about Josslyn, “She’s not just some ditzy sorority girl. She’s a WSB agent!” Next as Josslyn is trying to leave her apartment, Cassius grabs her arm to stop her with a smirk on his face. Will Josslyn put together the pieces that the man in front of her is not Nathan at all?

Meanwhile, another man in Josslyn’s life, her boss, WSB Port Charles Bureau Chief, Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) is on the warpath. Is he on the warpath about Josslyn basically going rogue when he told her to stay out of things, or is he losing it because Carly (Laura Wright) had been shacking up with his sworn enemy, Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart)?

Lucas (Van Hansis) is seen talking to Carly who admits she had sex with someone else behind Brennan’s back, but he is worried about blow back for his sister, especially when he says, “What, exactly, will Brennan do if he finds out you are cheating on him?”

As the promo comes to and end, an angry Jack is about to stampede into a room, cut to Carly worried and sitting up in bed. Is he on his way to confront Carly? Will she be alone or with Valentin? Or is it all a red-herring?

The preview also features Curtis (Donnell Turner) pointing the finger at Isaiah (Sawandi Wilson) as the person who caused the accident that injured Jordan (Tanisha Harper). But, is Curtis barking up the wrong tree, if the driver was Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) or someone else?
