The world of The Bold and the Beautiful has exploded with one of its most scandalous betrayals yet: Donna Logan is pregnant—and the father is Thomas Forrester, Eric’s son. What began as silent loneliness and quiet dissatisfaction in Donna’s relationship with Eric spiraled into an affair that now threatens the foundation of the entire Forrester dynasty. Thomas, ever the strategist, manipulated the vulnerable Donna not for love, but for power. He saw her as a vessel to secure his place in the Forrester legacy—through their unborn child.

Donna initially tried to hide the pregnancy, even considering a termination, but ultimately couldn’t go through with it. When she told Thomas, his reaction wasn’t remorse or concern—it was triumph. He demanded they go public, seeing the child as his pathway to dominance within the family empire. And so, the secret was unleashed. Brooke was the first to confront Donna with raw fury, feeling betrayed by her sister and horrified by Thomas’s actions. She quickly told Eric, who was left stunned and shattered by the news that his lover was carrying his own son’s child.

Thomas didn’t back down—he doubled down. He flaunted the pregnancy at board meetings and used it to position himself as the rightful future patriarch of Forrester Creations. While family members like Steffy and Hope recoiled, Thomas pushed harder, turning the scandal into a power play. Donna, meanwhile, became a pariah. Hounded by press, protestors, and even family members, she began to crumble under the weight of shame and fear.

Things took a dangerous turn when Donna collapsed in the Forrester building due to high blood pressure. Though stabilized at the hospital, it was clear the stress was too much. Eric returned to her bedside, and though he couldn’t forgive her, he swore he wouldn’t let the child be used as a pawn. Eric then made a dramatic power move—he publicly exiled Thomas and Donna from the company and family estate, cutting them off entirely.

But the fallout had only just begun. Alone in his office, the stress finally caught up with Eric. He suffered a heart attack—his third—and was rushed to the hospital. The betrayal, the shame, and the collapse of his family had taken a toll. Now, with Eric’s health hanging by a thread and Donna isolated with a baby destined to be born into conflict, the question looms large: Can this family ever recover, or has the ultimate betrayal destroyed the Forresters for good?
