Eric is the beloved Forrester patriarch on The Bold and the Beautiful. It’s hard to imagine the show without everyone’s favorite piano playing, singing, and fashion designer. However, upcoming spoilers have fans worried about Eric.
Key Takeaways
- Eric’s faced many health issues in recent years.
- He almost died during his last health crisis in 2023.
- A new medical crisis has sparked speculation about Eric’s future.
More Health Issues
Eric (John McCook) has had a string of medical issues within the past few years. As fans remember in 2023, the Forrester patriarch faced near-death following a serious illness. But thanks to Finn (Tanner Novlan), a procedure saved Eric and gave the Forresters the miracle they prayed for.
Now, the family might need another miracle. Spoilers for December 1-5 say that concerns for Eric’s health arise after Donna (Jennifer Gareis) shares shocking news.
It’s been two years since Eric’s last health crisis, and it might be too soon for another one. However, could the show be planning the Forrester patriarch’s swan song? That’s what fans on Reddit believe.
“Eric sick AGAIN??? Does this mean John McCook wants to retire?” asked one viewer. “I did notice him being absent from a lot of these episodes,” wrote one commenter.
One fan hopes Eric doesn’t die but wants the Forrester patriarch to have a happy ending. “I hope they just write Eric off. Have him spend his final days at International. This way he can be like Sally Spectra Sr. and always be having fun somewhere.”
Will Eric Die?
It’s hard to imagine B&B without Eric. Although he may not be featured as much these days, he’s still a prominent character, always looking out for his family and his company.
Much like his last health storyline, this one is starting out with Eric and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) clashing over Forrester Creations. The company is Eric’s pride and joy, and he still wants to be part of it. Yet, Eric thinks it’s time his dad hangs up the sketch pad and retires. Eric’s not one to walk away from the business he loves, but his latest health issues may force him to.
Although it’s still uncertain what illness Eric has, it’s going to cause lots of worrying and crying for his family. Eric’s a fighter and survived many brushes with death in the past. But his latest illness could be the end for him.
Do you think Eric will die on B&B? Or will there be another miracle cure for the Forrester patriarch?
