Forrester Patriarch Goes Missing
Yesterday at the Forrester mansion, Eric (John McCook) brought up Hope (Annika Noelle) and Liam’s (Scott Clifton) wedding to Donna (Jennifer Gareis). He’s excited about the couple getting married again.
However, Eric is skipping the biggest wedding of the year. He was forced to retire from his position at Forrester Creations. He’s not in a celebratory mood since he was told to stop doing what he loved.
Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) encouraged him to retire for the sake of his health. Eric feels that he’s in his prime. However, he reluctantly gave up his job to maintain peace with his son.
However, it could ultimately cause him more stress in the end. He told Donna that he wasn’t attending Hope and Liam’s wedding. Rather, he would send his warm wishes to the couple.
Besides, the focus should be on the couple, not on him. The paparazzi have already been hounding Eric since the news of his retirement became public.
