The B&B has seen many relationships start and end, such as Donna and Eric tumultuous marriage, which ended in divorce because of Donna’s insecurities.
The Bold and The Beautiful (B&B) is considered the most watched soapie worldwide. The popular soapie centred on the lives and times of the Forresters and matriarch Brooke Logan and has fascinated viewers since it first premiered in 1987.
Fans have watched as the soapie has grown and changed throughout the years. Eric Forrester was beloved for his marriage and relationship with Stephanie Forrester.
However, in the close to four decades that he has been part of the story, he has also married and divorced sisters, Brooke and Donna Logan. Donna being his last wife, before he married Quinn.
How did Donna and Eric get married?
Eric was still married to Stephanie Forrester when his relationship with Donna started.
However, when it was discovered that the two were seeing each other, Eric professed his love for Donna and divorced Stephanie in order to marry her. The newlyweds would be happy together.
However, Eric’s family made it clear that they would never accept Donna, setting out to make their marriage a living hell. Though, no one made Donna’s life a living hell more than Stephanie’s sister, Pam. However, this is still not why they divorced.
B&B: Why did Donna and Eric get divorced?
Donna and Eric’s marriage was not welcomed by Eric’s family, as Donna was blamed for the demise of Stephanie’s and Eric’s marriage, as she and Eric started dating while he was still married.
Eric’s family went out of their way to make sure that Donna knew that she was not part of their family, and the biggest antagonist to their marriage was Pam Douglas.
Pam made it her life’s mission to make Donna’s life a misery. From dousing her with her and leaving her out to be eaten by a bear. This was just one of the many stunts she pulled to force Donna to divorce Eric.
However, Donna’s insecurities led her to instigate the divorce. This is as Eric and Stephanie continued to work together at Forrester Creations.
Donna happened to see them kissing and believed that they were reuniting, and as a result, asked for a divorce from Eric.
Who did Donna date after Eric?
Following her divorce, Donna rekindled her romantic relationship with ex, Justin Barber. The two would later get married. However, their marriage was short-lived as they discovered that they were better off as friends.
Donna then dated Nick Marone, until she found out that he was one of the people who stole the Forrester designs. She then moved away from Los Angeles before deciding to return in 2018, where she would try to win back the affection of her ex-husband.
Who did Eric date after Donna?
Following the end of his relationship with Donna, Eric dated and went on to marry Quinn. The two have been married since 2016, and their tumultuous marriage has seen its fair share of affairs and infidelities. However, these were committed by Quinn, and not Eric.
The first affair was with Eric’s son Ridge, and subsequently with Carter. Both transgressions that Eric forgave, as he continues to work on his marriage with his wife. This is despite Donna returning and fighting to have her relationship with Eric rekindled.
Will Donna and Eric remarry?
While it does not seem that Eric and Donna will rekindle their relationship anytime soon, following Eric firing Donna from Forrester Creations at Quinn’s request.
The short-lived comical romance between the two is still one of the fan-favourite relationships to have been featured on The Bold and the Beautiful.
It is probably made more beloved, because they did not break up over an infidelity. More so, considering the emotional ups and downs that Eric has been through with his current wife, Quinn, who to date has had two infidelities.
Conclusion
The Bold and the Beautiful has been airing since 1987, which means that viewers have been spoiled to the incestuous drama-filled breakups and makeups between the Forresters, Spencers, Marones and whatever new family that comes by for close to forty years.
One of the most memorable marriages is that of Eric Forrester and Donna Logan.
Although short-lived, as Donna’s insecurities that Eric was rekindling his relationship with Stephanie took root, to date it still remains one of the most wholesome marriages between a couple in the history of the soapie.
