Things aren’t looking good for Eric Forrester (John McCook) on CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful.  With a mysterious illness and being given a few months left to live, it would make sense that his other children would come home to Los Angeles for a visit or more.

Now comes word that Winsor Harmon will reprise his role as Thorne Forrester, and Ashley Jones will be back in her role of Bridget Forrester, in upcoming episodes of the soap opera. Look for Harmon to arrive on the December 5th episode, and right behind him will be Jones who returns on the December 6th episode.

According to TV Insider, a rep from B&B teased: “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.”

Viewers haven’t see Winsor Harmon as Thorne since back in March of 2022 when he appeared in the series 35th anniversary episode. As for Jones, she has made periodic visits back to the series. With Bridget also being a doctor, might she be able to shed more light on what ails Eric? Stay tuned.

And to you that never stop asking for Bridget—- ! They hear you! Been a very very busy couple weeks. Want to tell you everything soon! Lots of stuff to shoot today!”

Previously, B&B’s supervising producer Casey Kasprzyk posted on X that the soap opera was about to shoot 10 emotional episodes accompanied by a photo of Eric Forrester (McCook) above the Forrester mansion mantel.
