What really happened between Donna and Eric on "The Bold and the Beautiful" was a repetitive and forced storyline. To begin with, they started dating in 2008 after Eric's third attempt at reconciling with Stephanie Forrester. And who was behind the collapse of Eric and Stephanie's second marriage? None other than Donna Logan's (Jennifer Gareis) sister, Brooke. It's also worth noting that Eric had long harbored feelings for Donna and Brooke's mother, Beth Logan (Robin Riker).
Worse still, Eric and Donna's relationship, supposedly rooted in sexual chemistry, appeared to lack any genuine spark. They often talked about sex and made plans to meet up, yet there seemed to be no real connection beyond that. Fans also highlighted how their relationship seemed more like a sugar-daddy relationship in response to the pairing on social media.
The writers attempted to portray their relationship as strong, but it was far from it. It seemed that Eric and Donna's real characters were changed severely to make them work. Donna was unfaithful and kissed Owen Knight (Brandon Beemer), yet Eric forgave her without any of the harshness present when Quinn Fuller was unfaithful to him. Moreover, Eric adopted Donna's son, Marcus Walton Forrester (Texas Battle), without displaying any special bond with them, making the situation seem unrealistic.
