ERIC FORRESTER'S HISTORY

Eric and his wife Stephanie created a fashion house called Forrester Creations. Stephanie and Eric had four children: Ridge, Thorne, Kristen, and Felicia.

Eric had an affair with Brooke Logan (who was in love with Ridge), and had a child, Rick. He then married Brooke. Brooke left Eric for Ridge and had another child. Brooke left Eric to be with Ridge, and Brooke took control of Forrester Creations with a 51% stock majority.

Eric then married Sheila, who was a nanny, as well as a nurse. He had a vasectomy so that he could never have children, but Sheila did not know this and because of troubles in their marriage, in order to make him happy, she told him that she was pregnant. She had slept with Connor Davis to try to get pregnant, and was going to pass this child off as Eric's.

Eric had a fling with Taylor, but it didn't last long, since Stephanie was still in love with Eric, and Taylor, being a friend of Stephanie's, didn't want to interfere. Eric then got together with Lauren and fell for her, but Lauren was also a friend of Stephanie, and realized that she was hurting Stephanie by being with Eric, so she ended their relationship.

Eric got back together with Stephanie, and they re-married.

Ridge wanted to take over Forrester Creations, but Eric was against this, and Eric and Stephanie separated, at which point Stephanie began seeing Massimo, an old boyfriend.

Stephanie and Massimo's relationship didn't last too long, and Stephanie began seeing Eric again. Eric found out that Ridge was actually Massimo's son, but since he had been raising him as a son, he was able to accept the fact and continue to be close with Ridge. Eric and Stephanie were able to get over their differences and got back together.

Stephanie faked a heart attack to try to get Ridge and Taylor to get married, but Eric found out and wasn't impressed with Stephanie. He contacted Jonathan, who had Stephanie's power of attorney, and arranged a divorce.

Eric then married Brooke again, but they quickly divorced because Eric was falling for Jackie, and he asked for her forgiveness.

Stephanie found papers in Eric's office that showed that she was the real owner of Forrester Creations, and ended up firing him and Brooke. Later, she hired them back, but gave them positions in the basement. Eric and Stephanie were constantly fighting, but things changed when they found out that Felicia was dying. Felicia asked them to remarry as her dying wish, and they agreed. Eric promised Jackie that the marriage would be annulled as soon as Felicia died.

Eric didn’t leave Stephanie as promised, but he did start an affair with Donna Logan. Although they tried to hide it, Stephanie found out and tried to make Donna’s life miserable. However, it didn’t have any effect on Eric and Donna’s relationship and the two eventually married, but their happiness didn’t last long.

Pam, angry that Eric chose Donna over her sister, poisoned Eric (unbeknownst to anyone) with her lemon bars, he had a heart attack and he fell into a coma. While out, Donna became embroiled in a bitter battle with Eric’s children for control of Forrester Creations. Donna eventually won out, but Ridge became convinced that Eric wouldn’t want to be hooked up to machines and pulled the plug. The medical team rushed in and hooked Eric back up, saving his life. Ridge was wracked with guilt, but Eric pulled through and returned to his family. However, he believed that Donna had cheated on him with Owen while he was in a coma and broke things off with her. Eric turned to Stephanie for comfort, while rebuffing Donna’s attempt to reconcile with him. Just when he was about to come around, Donna discovered that Pam was behind the poisoning. Pam blackmailed Donna into pushing Eric away or else she would harm Donna’s family. Donna reluctantly agreed, but Stephanie found out and helped capture Pam, as well as get Donna off the hook with Eric.

With the truth out in the open, both Donna and Stephanie wanted to be with Eric, but he wasn’t ready to make a decision so he suggested they both move in with him. Meanwhile, his son Rick was laid up after falling off a roof, following a fight with Ridge. Out of anger at Ridge, Rick convinced Eric not to hand the company over to Ridge and Eric named both sons co-presidents of Forrester Creations.

They discuss Ann and Stephanie's relationship, as well as the abuse she suffered from her father. Donna thinks no one should have to endure that and actually feels sorry for Stephanie. Eric tells Donna Stephanie will need some moral support after this visit with her mother. Donna tells him Pam will be there too and they are at Paradise Cove. Eric says it's Ann's favorite place and knows she can be tough, but there isn't anything in the world Stephanie wouldn’t do for her mother.

Still at the beach, Pam tries to talk to Ann about her condition, but she just wants to enjoy the moment. She tells them she has advanced pancreatic cancer and there's nothing the doctors can do anymore. Pam gets upset as Ann says she's fine with dying and Stephanie suggests they go to the hospital, but Ann refuses because she will handle her death the way she wants. This is her one wish and she demands her daughters honor it. Stephanie and Pam agree not to take her to the hospital and Ann asks to go back to the airport because her flight back is in two hours. Stephanie and Pam demand she stay there and Stephanie won't take no for an answer. Ann agrees and they help her to the car, but Ann starts to collapse and Pam screams out, "Mother!"

Monday, November 16 2009: Pleasure Point.

Donna returns home from the wedding and tells Eric everyone is on their way over. She would like them to welcome everyone together, but Eric won’t do that. Brooke and Ridge come to the house and learn from Donna that Eric won’t be playing host tonight. Katie and Bill arrive and then Rick follows, who just came in from Paris. Marcus, Justin, Jarrett, Beth and Stephen all enter the house and congratulate the happy couple. Rick asks about the wedding and Bill says he never thought a little park in Van Nuys could be so magical. As Bill and Katie mingle, Bill spots Eric on the terrace and goes to talk to him. He thanks him for opening his home, but Eric says it was Donna’s idea. Donna comes over and asks Eric to join her for the toast. Inside, Ridge tells Brooke he doesn't know how Eric is going to get through tonight. Donna comes back inside and welcomes everyone to celebrate Katie and Bill’s wedding. She then calls Justin up who talks about how Katie changed Bill and wishes them a beautiful life together. Brooke goes next and talks up the woman Katie is today and the exiting adventure she and Bill have ahead of them. The cake is then cut and Jarrett catches the garter.

In the main room, Justin brings Donna some cake and notes Eric isn’t happy about having the reception in his house. Donna says it’s understandable since he just lost his company, but Justin thinks he should be supporting her. Justin walks over to Eric and tells him they value him at the company and expect him to continue to design. Eric disdainfully talks about being blocked, so Justin suggests he watch Donna’s show for inspiration.
