When you hear the name Brooke Logan, one word probably pops into your head: destiny. And more often than not, that so-called destiny has been Ridge Forrester. It’s been pounded into Bold and the Beautiful viewers’ minds by characters, flashbacks, and wedding montages. But what if we’ve been misled this entire time? What if Brooke is destined for a Forrester… just not that one?
Is Eric the Real Forrester Destiny for Brooke?
Enter: Eric Forrester. Her first Forrester husband. The patriarch. The man who saw Brooke before she became a household name in the fashion world—or a whirlwind of romantic chaos. He’s not just Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) father. He’s been Brooke’s steady shelter more than once, even when things blew up with Ridge (which, let’s face it, is often). Sure, he’s married to Donna right now, but since when has a Logan sister ever been off-limits to Brooke?

A Twist the Show Needs
Picture it: Eric (John McCook) is vulnerable after health scares, maybe second-guessing his choices. Ridge is distracted or, gasp, even supportive. Brooke finds herself pulled back into Eric’s orbit – not out of revenge, but connection. History. Chemistry. Suddenly, the idea of “Bridge” doesn’t feel so unshakable when “Beric” starts to spark again.
The drama writes itself. Donna (Jennifer Gareis) would lose her mind. Ridge wouldn’t know what to do with himself. And the Logan family dinners? A complete disaster – just the way B&B fans like it. And, let’s be honest here, Brooke has taken men from nearly every woman in her family. Why would Donna be the exception?
Plus, wouldn’t it be poetic if Ridge, who always had an iron grip on Brooke, finally let her go…and she found comfort in the arms of the man who raised him? That’s a twist with bite, and the kind of storytelling that shakes up even the most “destined” love story. So maybe “Bridge” is more of a detour. Maybe Brooke’s forever has been standing behind her all this time…with a Forrester last name and silver hair to match.
