Eric died after suffering a heart attack upon learning of his betrayal The Bold and the Beautiful
CBS The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal that Eric seemed to faint after learning that his passion, Forrester Creations, had been taken away by someone else.
Remember, Eric was the one who made Forrester Creations as strong as it is today. Over the years, he endured countless difficulties and challenges. Eric and Forrester Creations shared a deeply important connection that nothing could replace.
Eric was always careful to hand over management only to his family. But who could have imagined it would be taken away by someone else? The person who betrayed him was one of the people Eric trusted the most—Carter.
Eric never thought Carter would do such a cruel thing. The betrayal shocked Eric to his core, causing him to faint. Everyone panicked and rushed Eric to the hospital. Unfortunately, a heart attack and the lack of timely emergency care led to Eric’s untimely passing.
Although Eric was old, he had recently undergone a major surgery successfully. He had even set aside his work to focus on resting, with his family prioritizing his comfort.
Unexpectedly, the devastating news about Forrester Creations reached Eric before anyone could stop it. Unable to bear the shock, Eric passed away. His death left Steffy and Ridge consumed with grief and anger. Their resentment toward Carter and Hope reached new heights.
They believed that if Carter and Hope hadn’t acted so ruthlessly, Eric could have lived a healthy life for many more years. Now, Steffy and Ridge have lost both their power and the beloved patriarch of their family.
Carter, feeling guilty, still refused to give in. He had prepared meticulously and was determined to achieve his goal. To him, failure would render all his efforts meaningless.
Steffy and Ridge’s hatred for Carter burns brightly, but without power, they are helpless to stop him. Carter continues his plan to take full control of Forrester Creations, with Steffy and Ridge facing potential termination from the company.
As much as they despise Carter, their lack of authority leaves them powerless to fight back.
In a bittersweet turn, the actor who plays Eric, John McCook, will retire after this storyline. Having been a beloved part of the show for so many years, fans deeply cherish him. But his departure, though saddening, is inevitable.
