played Lance Prentiss from 1976 to 1980. Many of Eric's storylines
revolve around his relationships with Stephanie Forrester, Brooke
Logan, Sheila Carter, Donna Logan, Beth Henderson, Jackie Marone,
Quinn Fuller, Taylor Hayes, and various other women.Eric and his wife,
Stephanie, are co-founders of the Los Angeles-based fashion house,
Forrester Creations, with Eric as its lead designer. They have five
children: Ridge, Thorne, Kristen, Felicia and Angela. Two different
retcons have taken away two of his children. The Angela that Eric
meets in 1988 proves to be an imposter who replaced the real Angela
when she died in an accident years before. In 2001 it is revealed that
the biological father of his firstborn, Ridge, is billionaire shipping
magnate, Massimo Marone.Forrester Creations was first started with a
$50,000 loan from Stephanie's father, John Douglas, despite his
disapproval of her marriage to Eric. With Stephanie working on the
business side and Eric on the creative, Forrester Creations becomes a
great success, both in prestige and profits. For a time, those profits
are eaten away by a far less prestigious rival, Spectra Fashions,
which makes knock-off fashions all too similar to Forrester designs.
