The luxurious world of Forrester Creations is reeling from a devastating truth: legendary founder Eric Forrester did not succumb to age or illness, but was the victim of a deliberate poisoning plot orchestrated by his own wife, Donna Logan.

The mounting suspicions began with Eric’s sudden health decline. Initially dismissed as stress, the severity became clear after Eric collapsed during a board meeting and was rushed to the hospital. It was there that Dr. Bridget Forrester (Eric’s daughter) took charge.

The Undeniable Evidence: Cumulative Toxin

In-depth testing revealed the horrific truth: Eric’s bloodstream contained traces of a sedative. This was no medical accident, but a substance that had been accumulating over time, intentionally administered, potent enough to dangerously slow his heart rate and endanger his life.

Suspicion immediately fell on Donna, the only one caring for Eric late at night. Cornered, Donna confessed to adding drops to his tea, claiming she only wanted to help him sleep because he was in pain and restless.

However, Ridge and Steffy saw through the flimsy excuse. “You drugged him! You don’t experiment with someone’s health behind their back!”, Ridge thundered.

The Double Betrayal: Affair and Financial Gain

The situation escalated when Thomas Forrester uncovered a deeper truth via a secret video from Eric’s hidden home camera. The footage showed Donna communicating with a younger man, Julian Grant, her secret lover, discussing the urgent need to find the will.

The shocking motive: Donna had manipulated Eric while he was compromised to change his will, making her the primary heir to a massive share of his assets, stock, and the Forrester Mansion.

When Eric woke up and whispered the agonizing question, “Why? You did this?”, the trust between them shattered irreparably.

Thomas and Ridge took action, handing the evidence to the authorities. Donna was subsequently arrested at the hospital, ironically while standing bedside to Eric, and Julian Grant instantly turned, confessing to the promises of wealth and power Donna had used to lure him.

This is not merely a tale of failed romance, but a calculated war for power and legacy, where love became a mask for a cold-blooded murder plot against the very patriarch of the Forrester family.
