Donna and Eric are one of The Bold and the Beautiful‘s power couples. Their love story has spanned 17 years and many ups and downs. Although they’re happily married now, things might not be perfect for the newlyweds.

Eric’s Unresolved Feelings

Eric (John McCook) and Donna’s (Jennifer Gareis) love story began in 2008. The couple’s relationship was met with disapproval from Eric’s kids and faced interference from his ex-wife Stephanie (Susan Flannery) and her sister Pam (Alley Mills). Despite the objections, the couple ended up marrying. However, drama continued to ensue, and the couple divorced.

Although they split, Donna still loved her Honey Bear and wished they’d get back together. She got her wish when they finally reunited and married in 2024.

These days, Donna is enjoying her reclaimed role as the Forrester matriarch. Things have been going smoothly for her and Eric, yet could trouble be brewing underneath the surface?

Recently, during a talk with Taylor (Rebecca Budig), Donna made a comment that drew suspicion about her marriage. The discussion was about Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), and Donna mentioned that all men, including her husband, love Brooke.

Donna saying that Eric loves Brooke was weird to many fans, who are questioning Eric’s true feelings.

Eric’s Past With Brooke

Eric was once married to Brooke, and they have children. Throughout the years, they’ve maintained a close friendship. Eric has become Brooke’s biggest supporter, including her relationship with his son Ridge (Thorsten Kaye).

But do Eric’s feelings go much deeper?

Eric seems to still carry a torch for his ex-wife, and Brooke is the one who got away. Yet, it was Ridge, not Eric, who Brooke’s heart belonged to.

While Brooke and Eric are better as friends, one must wonder what would happen if that changed. If Brooke were to show any romantic interest in Eric, would he dump Donna for her sister?
