‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers document that Eric Forrester (John McCook) was told in the recent past that he is dying. There is no known cure for his illness, and the audience is prevented from knowing what that is.
Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) was devastated when Dr. Colin Colby (Justiin Davis) diagnosed the love of her life. It took a while to confirm Eric’s problem and the result has been devastating.
This storyline naturally has fans wondering if McCook plans to go the way his long-time co-star did. Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester) retired over a decade ago from the show. Her character died of cancer in 2012 in a memorable sendoff.
‘Bold And The Beautiful’ Spoilers – Eric Forrester Will Live Until He Dies
Donna and others have heard B&B’s Eric Forrester repeat what is a fatalistic line. He will live until he dies. That translates to not wanting to pursue any form of treatment.
In pursuing the fashion challenge with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), Eric’s abandonment was ill-advised. Eric believed that he won, and his reckless behavior ensued.
Donna, Dr. Colby, RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman), and Katie Logan (Heather Tom) can not convince Eric to change his mind. He believes they are the only ones that know his fate. But the word has gotten out because Eric’s burden is too significant.
‘Bold And The Beautiful’ Spoilers – Stephanie Forrester Similarities Or Head Fake?
Stephanie died in Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) arms outside the cabin in Big Bear. Brooke singing Stephanie off will consistently rank among the great scenes in B&B’s history.
Devoted viewers recall that Stephanie was coughing up blood before dying. Dr. Colby recently mentioned Eric’s Hemoptysis, with many incidents of him coughing up blood being shown in recent weeks.
Daytime fans recognize that this storyline could go either way. Eric could be in his final weeks or, possibly, months. Alternatively, the writing staff could be creating a head fake, with a remission, effective treatment, or plausible cure ahead.
‘Bold And The Beautiful’ Spoilers – John McCook’s Legacy Is Set
McCook and Lang are the last remaining actors who appeared during this soap’s debut year in 1987. McCook was part of the cast from the start. Lang replaced Catherine Hickland (the original Brooke Logan) shortly after the show began.
Eric’s talk of his legacy can also be transferred to McCook, whose career began in 1964. Working as an actor across seven decades is impressive, with his legacy in the industry fully secured. He was rightly honored with the 2022 Daytime Emmy in the Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series category.
There is no confirmed information about McCook’s future on this enduring soap opera. With whatever proves true in the days to come, his character’s importance will forever rank with Flannery’s. As for the performances he is delivering in this storyline, they already top his Emmy award-winning efforts on B&B.
