Stephanie Forrester was a jealous woman from the first time “The Bold and the Beautiful” fans met her. She was convinced her husband was having an affair with his long ago girlfriend, Beth Logan (Nancy Burnett). Eric and Beth were in love in college, but he also cheated on Beth with Stephanie and then married her when he learned she was pregnant. It was Stephanie who brought them together again.
Stephanie threw a posh Los Angeles party in 1987 and both Beth and her daughter, college student Brooke, were catering servers. When Stephanie saw Beth with Eric again, she worried he would leave her and he did. She had already convinced herself she was having an affair with Margo Lynley (Lauren Koslow), so that was enough for Eric and he left Stephanie.
However, Eric returned to her when he learned the truth about their daughter, Angela, who he believed died at birth. Instead, Stephanie believed she had sent the ill baby to an institution. Eventually, Eric and Stephanie both learned their daughter was dead and for years, Stephanie had been visiting an imposter the doctor hired (via Soaps In Depth). The shock split up Eric and Stephanie once again.
