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.

Published

CBS has released its first promo for the upcoming crossover event between Beyond the Gates and The Young and the Restless. The four-episode multi-arc story will begin next week on Tuesday, June 9 and run through the rest of the week with a dramatic cliffhanger on Friday, June 12.

Viewers can now get their first glimpse of the storyline that will unfold. The episodes were taped earlier this year when the six participating cast members from Y&R traveled from Los Angeles to Atlanta where Beyond the Gates tapes all of its show from Assembly Studios.

In the video teaser, a tornado rips through Barrington Country and smack dab at the Fairmont Crest Country Club in the middle of the political fundraiser for Congressman Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon), putting major characters in peril.

VERNON AND VICTOR OLD FRIENDS

As the story unfolds, longtime friends and patriarchs Vernon Dupree (Clifton Davis) and Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) come together for this special event. Victor has backed Vernon’s political campaigns over the years, while Vernon has championed legislation which benefitted Newman Enterprises, The two titans have built a longtime alliance built on loyalty, influence, and mutual gain.

Vernon has asked Victor to serve as the keynote speaker at his grandson’s fundraiser, and seen in the promo, he greets the mighty Victor Newman at a helicopter pad to whisk him away in a limo to Fairmont Crest.

None other than Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) arrive at Fairmont Crest and run into Dani Dupree (Karla Mosley) and Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman). Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) is also in tow and is revealed as a longtime friend of Martin’s from their college days.

UNEXPECTED ALLIANCES

In the steamy moment from the promo, it looks like Kyle and Hayley (Marguita Goings) end up making out. Could this be the crossover romance we never know we needed? But what happens if the wrong person sees them locking lips? Then, it appears that Bill (Timon Kyle Durrett) and Dani will be trapped together due to the tornado, will this be a turning point for the exes? The event is filled with a room full of reporters, who are itching for a scandal. What will they dig up before and after the rubble from the tornado?

DANGER LURKS AT FAIRMONT CREST

In addition, an uninvited guest makes their way into the fundraiser, but it’s not someone viewers might expect! Genoa City’s Devon Hamilton (Bryton James) and Abby Newmanv (Melissa Ordway) are also attending the political fundraiser and get into the thick of the action.

Beyond the Gates executive producer Sheila Ducksworth teased to TV Insider, on what viewers are about to see “What happens in these episodes is so compelling, and then what happens as a result of what happens in these episodes is epic. That is all I can say. It is epic.”

Ducksworth, along with series cast members: Tamara Tunie (Anita Dupree), Clifton Davis, and Sean Freeman, also talked about the upcoming episodes when they visited the Michael Fairman Channel for a livestream chat, where Clifton Davis exclaimed, “We’ve got dynamite in the can,” referencing the banked episodes that soap fans are about to see unfold.

Take a look at the Beyond the Gates and The Young and the Restless crossover event promo below.

Now let us know, what do you think of Kyle and Hayley making out? Do you think Bill and Dani will do the same? What will be the shocking ramifications when all is said and done? Weigh-in via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL Spoilers Promo: Chase and Willow Have a Close Encounter and Tracy Gets an Eyeful

Published

on

By

General Hospital has dropped its spoilers video and weekly promo for the week of June 1-5 entitled “Crossed Lines.”

From the looks of it, Chase (Josh Swickard) and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen), who happen to be in swimsuits and at the Quartermaine boathouse appear to have a private moment when Willow is seen with her hand on the cop’s shoulder. However, at that exact same moment, who should walk by … Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot)!

What will Tracy do with the intel? Inform her granddaughter Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and/or grandson Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson)? Meanwhile, Michael has been determined to exploit Willow’s closeness with her ex, Chase, to gain the upper hand on her, all in an effort to, as Michael tells Jacinda (Paige Herschell) in the promo, “They’ll cross the line and when they do, we’ll blow the whole thing wide open.”

TAKING DOWN SIDWELL

In addition, Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Laura (Genie Francis) recruit Lucas (Van Hansis) to help them put an end to Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) chokehold on them and Port Charles. Sonny tells Lucas, “We need your help. We’re gonna stop Sidwell.”

That may prove more difficult than it seems, when Sidwell now has the idea that it was Lucas who murdered his son, Marco. After all, Lucas is living at Wyndemere right under Sidwell’s nose, plus Pascal (Marc Forget) may be the key to Sonny’s plan.

CARLY REALIZES JOSSLYN WAS KIDNAPPED

Finally! Carly (Laura Wright) is figuring things out that her daughter Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) has been kidnapped. Carly is shown saying, “Josslyn would never leave without saying good-bye. Someone took her!”

At the same time, Josslyn is trying to free herself from the secret room at Wyndemere where Cassius (Ryan Paevey) stashed her. It looks like she may be close to breaking free when she is able to pry the door somewhat open!

Now below, check out the official ABC and General Hospital promo for the action this week in Port Charles. And in case you missed it, check out the complete General Hospital spoilers for episodes airing today through Friday here.

So, do you think Chase and Willow will actually cross the line, or is it all just going to look like they are rekindling their romantic relationship of the past? Weigh-in for with your hopes for this leg of the story via the comment section below.
