Eric Forrester is the founding patriarch of The Bold and the Beautiful and one of the most influential figures in daytime television history. A visionary fashion designer and businessman, Eric co-founded the Los Angeles-based fashion house Forrester Creations alongside his wife, Stephanie Forrester, turning it into an international luxury brand.

As the creative force behind the couture line, Eric represents the artistic soul of the company – driven by passion, elegance, and a deep belief in legacy. While he has often stepped away from executive power, his influence within the fashion house and his family has remained constant.

Eric and Stephanie are the parents of four children: Ridge, Kristen, Thorne, and Felicia. Through them, Eric’s personal and professional legacy continues to shape generations, fueling rivalries, romances, betrayals, and alliances that define the core of the series.

Calm, cultured, and often torn between love and loyalty, Eric stands at the emotional center of the Forrester dynasty – a man whose designs built an empire, and whose personal choices continue to ripple through the lives of those around him.
