The Bold and The Beautiful spoilers and updates tease Eric Forrester (John McCook) will stage a family reunion party, but it will really be a grand finale bash.

Eric still doesn’t want any more family members than already know he’s dying to find out, so this reunion party will really be his final goodbye.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Thorne And Bridget Forrester Come Home

As part of his final goodbye Eric is staging, Thorne Forrester (Winsor Harmon) and Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) come home; Thorne December 5 and Bridget December 6.

There is no word yet if the other Forrester siblings and families will show up or not, although they likely will later on.

Eric doesn’t want a sad goodbye, that’s why he’s disguising this as a family reunion party-he’ll especially have to be careful not to display symptoms in front of Bridget.

Bridget is a doctor so if anyone notices something’s off with Eric, she will-it will be interesting to see if she calls him on it. Bridget works at the same hospital John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) does, so it’s surprising she isn’t seen more often.

B & B Spoilers – How Will The Rest Who Know Keep It In?

The rest of the family who knows Eric has a terminal illness may have a difficult time keeping it in-there are already some who he didn’t want to know who do.

Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) couldn’t hold it in from Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and Steffy Forrester-Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and that was after RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) spilled.

Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) also told Hope Logan (Annika Noelle), and Eric doesn’t know they know-Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) knows too.

Eric thinks the only ones who know are Donna Logan, (Jennifer Gareis) Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and of course RJ, although he may know Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) knows.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Chances Are, Everyone Will Know But Keep It A Secret

Chances are, since so many know already who weren’t supposed to, every family member who shows up will know at least sooner or later.

They won’t let Eric know they know-although Donna most certainly will know who does know, and she’ll keep it secret too.

It’s hard to keep such a devastating secret from those who have every right to know, but for Bridget, it will likely be the most difficult.

As a doctor, she may feel guilt that she shouldn’t, thinking if she knew earlier perhaps she could have done something about it. But she, as all the Forrester children, will have to respect Eric’s wishes and pretend everything is okay even if it’s not.
