Bold and Beautiful
Oh, Happy Days: Back in college, Stephanie set her cap for handsome Eric Forrester. The fact that he already had a sweetheart didn’t stop her from plying him with liquor at a party and seducing him. The pregnancy that followed led to a quickie wedding. Not that things turned out so badly for Eric – Stephanie provided the seed money for Eric’s fashion empire, and their shared goals and commitment to family led to love.
Breaking Up Was Hard To Do… Or Was It? Eric grew increasingly frustrated with the way Stephanie meddled in their children’s lives. He finally became so disgusted he asked for a divorce. Stephanie was devastated by the breakup, but never gave up hope that they’d one day reconcile. They did make it to the altar, but Steph called off the wedding mid-ceremony when she saw a picture of Eric in bed with Lauren (thanks, Sally) tucked into the minister’s bible.
(Re-)united Way: When Eric tires of hot-to-trot Lauren, she can seek solace from disgraced shrink James. You don’t need a medical license for what Lauren will have in mind.
Chance Of A Reunion: 3 to 1. Eric and Stephanie have a profound connection. No matter what happens, they remain close friends and confidants. And isn’t that what the best marriages are made of?
