After being on his deathbed for weeks on The Bold and the Beautiful, John McCook‘s Eric Forrester had a Christmas miracle over the holidays and is now on the road to recovery. On the Friday, December 22, episode, with his family gathered around his hospital bed, Eric’s ventilator was removed, and he started breathing on his own again. His first words? A mumbled “Merry Christmas” to his loved ones. The miraculous recovery came after weeks of speculation over whether the show was about to kill off the iconic character, who has been with the series since the very first episode on March 23, 1987.

Just how sick is Eric Forrester (John McCook) on Bold and the Beautiful? The patriarch’s been coughing up blood and has a serious mystery illness according to Dr. Colin Colby (Justin Davis). Could that be what’s prompting two of his children – daughter Bridget (Ashley Jones) and firstborn son Thorne (Winsor Harmon) – to come back to Los Angeles? According to a B&b rep, the two Forrester children are back in town because of their dad, who just might be going to that great soap opera in the sky. Watch for the Forrester family to come together to support the beloved patriarch.

Perhaps Bridget, a doctor, might be able to lend some medical expertise to her dad’s life-threatening condition.

The state’s backers behind Desert Studios say they are planning to break ground this year on the first phase of new full-service studio development project that will include 12 soundstages of 40,000 square feet each at a cost of roughly $300 million.
