The Bold And The Beautiful  – John McCook Won For A Unique Story

Eric’s story was an unexpected one last year on The Bold and the Beautiful when fans learned that Eric was rejecting his wife, Quinn Fuller Forrester (Rena Sofer) because had erectile dysfunction and didn’t want her to know. That led a dejected and rejected Quinn to have an affair, which led Eric to want to divorce her, then take her back, and even offer her up to Carter Walton so Quinn could have what a woman needs.

It was Donna Logan who ‘cured’ Eric and now he is having an affair with her, but is about to be caught this coming week, ending his marriage to Quinn for good. Stay tuned to The Bold and the Beautiful weekdays to see how this story plays out.
