Particularly his son Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).

At least to a certain extent.

Of course, many fans also remember that Eric had a relationship with Brooke, too (viaSoaps).

Actor John McCook offered the inside scoop on the couple’s stunning affair.

However, he’s not always successful.

Attempting to repair a marriage after infidelity is no small feat.

When asked about the storyline, John McCook toldSoap Hubthat he actually approved of it.

He said, “I thought it was fun!

This is a case of the actors being fans of the show, too …

I was very happy to see that happen.

I love working with Jen [Gareis, Donna].”

The actor added, “Donna’s not a giddy airhead.

The character of Donna is more mature now.

They enjoy each other in a playful way.

It brings such joy to Eric’s life.”

He said, “What I really like about it is seeing how the characters have changed since.

Donna was just a girl then.

In the same interview, Jennifer Gareis added that she sees a bright future for them.

She stepped back because all she wanted was for Eric to be happy.”

After all, Quinn was always the kind of person who wanted what she couldn’t have.
