Donna and Eric are one of The Bold and the Beautiful‘s most solid couples. However, their marriage might face a major test thanks to Eric’s desire to design again. Donna’s attitude towards Eric’s decision is garnering mixed reactions from viewers.
Key Takeaways
- Donna is caught in the midst of her sisters Brooke and Katie’s feud.
- Eric was forced to retire from Forrester Creations by Brooke and Ridge.
- Eric wants to join Katie’s new company, Logan.
Supportive Spouse?
Donna (Jennifer Gareis) loves her husband Eric (John McCook), and she wants him to be happy. Designing is Eric’s passion, and Donna’s always been supportive of his career. However, his latest decision is causing concern.
Eric was the founder and lead designer of Forrester Creations. It was a place he called his second home. But thanks to Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), he was forced into retirement.
However, Eric isn’t sailing off into the sunset. His desire to design is still burning bright, and he’s now teaming up with Katie (Heather Tom) at Logan.
Eric working at Logan will benefit both him and Katie. Not only will she get a talented lead designer to kickstart her fashion house, but he’ll still be able to pursue his passion. One would think Donna would be supportive of Eric’s new venture, yet she seems reluctant to stand by her man.
Donna’s behavior regarding Eric has sparked a debate on Reddit. Many fans think that Donna should be more supportive of her husband.
“Donna should be encouraging Eric to do what is good for his health, which is designing,” wrote one viewer. “I think they all need to stop forcing him to do something he doesn’t want to do. He hasn’t shown any signs of sickness or being rundown or nothing, so let the man do what he wants!” declared one commenter.
However, some fans think Eric’s health is why Donna’s concerned. “Stress can be a dangerous thing and the kind of stress creating a new fashion house entails can be more than his heart can handle.”
Eric Ignites Family War
Eric’s a grown man and can make his own decisions, and he’s determined to design for Logan. But his decision will lead to tension within the Forrester and Logan families.
Eric and Ridge’s relationship will be further strained thanks to his father’s betrayal. Meanwhile, the Logan sisters’ feud will heat up with Brooke accusing Katie of sabotage. And of course, poor Donna is going to be stuck right in the middle.
Little does Eric know that his desire to design will cause trouble for his wife’s family. And it might also test his and Donna’s marriage, too.
