CBS The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal that Eric seemed to faint after learning that his passion, Forrester Creations, had been taken away by someone else.

Remember, Eric was the one who built Forrester Creations into the powerhouse it is today.

Over the years, he faced countless difficulties and challenges, forging an unbreakable connection with the company.

Eric was careful to entrust management only to his family, but who could have imagined that it would be taken away by someone he trusted deeply?

The person who betrayed him was none other than Carter, one of the people Eric relied on the most. Eric never expected Carter to do something so cruel, leaving him in utter shock.

The news was too much for Eric to handle, and he fainted. Everyone panicked and rushed to get him help.

Eric was taken to the hospital, but a heart attack, combined with a lack of timely emergency care, tragically led to his passing.

Though Eric was elderly, he had recently undergone major surgery successfully and had been focusing on resting.

The family had been prioritizing Eric’s comfort and recovery, but the shocking news reached him before they could shield him from it. Eric couldn’t withstand the shock, and his passing left his loved ones devastated.

Eric’s death fueled Steffy and Ridge’s resentment toward Carter even further. If Carter and Hope hadn’t taken such ruthless actions, Eric might have lived a healthy life for years to come.

Now, not only had Steffy and Ridge lost their power, but they also lost someone they loved dearly.

Carter felt immense guilt over what happened but refused to back down. He had meticulously prepared his plan and set his sights on a clear goal.

To Carter, failing to achieve his objective would render all his efforts meaningless.

Despite their anger and heartbreak, Steffy and Ridge couldn’t stop Carter. Without power, they were unable to take any effective action against him.

Carter pushed forward with his plans to take full control of Forrester Creations, ensuring Steffy and Ridge would be ousted from the company.

As the actor who portrays Eric, John McCook, prepares to retire after this storyline, fans are left heartbroken. John McCook has been a beloved figure on the show for a very long time.

While viewers cherish his legacy, they must come to terms with the inevitable departure of such an iconic character.
