If you\u2019ve read the latest spoilers<\/a> for The Bold and the Beautiful, you know that Wednesday\u2019s episode is going to be a doozy: Katie and Bill reveal to Ridge and Brooke the identity of Logan\u2019s secret designer. \u201cThey\u2019re angry with Eric, of course,\u201d portrayer John McCook tells Soaps.com. \u201cThey freak out.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the tension between the group takes a backseat when, during the ensuing free-for-all, the Forrester family\u2019s patriarch finds himself short of breath. McCook is as curious as many a fan is about why sketching gowns is so taxing. He admits that he\u2019s wondered \u201chow physically demanding can that be? But [the powers that be] pointed out that the emotional pressure was too much for Eric.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is this a recurrence of the Soap-Opera Illness that almost sent the OG character to that big fashion show in the sky in 2023? The moment is fraught, yes, McCook allows, but \u201cthey\u2019re not reaching back into the illness he had a few years ago. [The respiratory distress] is only a device to observe that something\u2019s going on with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite this scary setback for Eric, his portrayer has loved the way he responded to being put out to pasture by his son. \u201cEric was not pitiful but rather angry. He was much more active in his reaction than \u2018Oh my goodness, they\u2019ve forced me into retirement; it\u2019s so sad.\u2019 I\u2019m glad we got to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
