Eric and his wife Stephanie created a fashion house called Forrester Creations. Stephanie and Eric had four children: Ridge, Thorne, Kristen, and Felicia.
Eric had an affair with Brooke Logan (who was in love with Ridge), and had a child, Rick. He then married Brooke. Brooke left Eric for Ridge and had another child. Brooke left Eric to be with Ridge, and Brooke took control of Forrester Creations with a 51% stock majority.
Eric then married Sheila, who was a nanny, as well as a nurse. He had a vasectomy so that he could never have children, but Sheila did not know this and because of troubles in their marriage, in order to make him happy, she told him that she was pregnant. She had slept with Connor Davis to try to get pregnant, and was going to pass this child off as Eric's.
Eric had a fling with Taylor, but it didn't last long, since Stephanie was still in love with Eric, and Taylor, being a friend of Stephanie's, didn't want to interfere. Eric then got together with Lauren and fell for her, but Lauren was also a friend of Stephanie, and realized that she was hurting Stephanie by being with Eric, so she ended their relationship.
Eric got back together with Stephanie, and they re-married.
Ridge wanted to take over Forrester Creations, but Eric was against this, and Eric and Stephanie separated, at which point Stephanie began seeing Massimo, an old boyfriend.
Stephanie and Massimo's relationship didn't last too long, and Stephanie began seeing Eric again. Eric found out that Ridge was actually Massimo's son, but since he had been raising him as a son, he was able to accept the fact and continue to be close with Ridge. Eric and Stephanie were able to get over their differences and got back together.
Stephanie faked a heart attack to try to get Ridge and Taylor to get married, but Eric found out and wasn't impressed with Stephanie. He contacted Jonathan, who had Stephanie's power of attorney, and arranged a divorce.
Eric then married Brooke again, but they quickly divorced because Eric was falling for Jackie, and he asked for her forgiveness.
Stephanie found papers in Eric's office that showed that she was the real owner of Forrester Creations, and ended up firing him and Brooke. Later, she hired them back, but gave them positions in the basement. Eric and Stephanie were constantly fighting, but things changed when they found out that Felicia was dying. Felicia asked them to remarry as her dying wish, and they agreed. Eric promised Jackie that the marriage would be annulled as soon as Felicia died.
Eric didn’t leave Stephanie as promised, but he did start an affair with Donna Logan. Although they tried to hide it, Stephanie found out and tried to make Donna’s life miserable. However, it didn’t have any effect on Eric and Donna’s relationship and the two eventually married, but their happiness didn’t last long.
Pam, angry that Eric chose Donna over her sister, poisoned Eric (unbeknownst to anyone) with her lemon bars, he had a heart attack and he fell into a coma. While out, Donna became embroiled in a bitter battle with Eric’s children for control of Forrester Creations. Donna eventually won out, but Ridge became convinced that Eric wouldn’t want to be hooked up to machines and pulled the plug. The medical team rushed in and hooked Eric back up, saving his life. Ridge was wracked with guilt, but Eric pulled through and returned to his family. However, he believed that Donna had cheated on him with Owen while he was in a coma and broke things off with her. Eric turned to Stephanie for comfort, while rebuffing Donna’s attempt to reconcile with him. Just when he was about to come around, Donna discovered that Pam was behind the poisoning. Pam blackmailed Donna into pushing Eric away or else she would harm Donna’s family. Donna reluctantly agreed, but Stephanie found out and helped capture Pam, as well as get Donna off the hook with Eric.
With the truth out in the open, both Donna and Stephanie wanted to be with Eric, but he wasn’t ready to make a decision so he suggested they both move in with him. Meanwhile, his son Rick was laid up after falling off a roof, following a fight with Ridge. Out of anger at Ridge, Rick convinced Eric not to hand the company over to Ridge and Eric named both sons co-presidents of Forrester Creations.
Rick tried his best to best Ridge, but eventually backed off and peace was restored to the family until Bill Spencer came to town and took over Forrester Creations. This left Eric despondent and uninterested in work.
The Forrester family has regained control of the business, but a rift due to Beth Logan's death ruined Eric's marriage to Donna, who divorced him. Upon receiving divorce papers asking for part of his share of Forrester, Eric called the family together and asked Stephanie to become part of his life again.
Eric has supported Stephanie through finding out she had stage four lung cancer, although he had a brief flirtation with Jackie. He continues to referee at Forrester Creations.

At Forrester, Rick, Hope, Thomas, Brooke, and Eric discuss Brooke's line. Rick says Eric and Brooke make a good team. Rick tells Brooke she'll do a promotional tour starting in Europe lasting 9 months. "We're expecting you to deliver." Brooke protests. Hope asks what's wrong; she lives for this stuff. When Eric and Brooke are left alone, Katie arrives. She says they look miserable and asks what's wrong. Brooke says Rick wants her to go on tour. Katie thinks it's a great idea. She wants Brooke to be happy since she's been so good to her. Katie says thanks to Brooke, Bill waited for her. She asks for some items from the lingerie line to cheer up Bill; he's down about Steffy losing the baby. Brooke tells Katie her happiness means more to her than her own. Later, Eric tells Brooke what she's asking him to do is impossible. "You're desperate." She admits it, but insists it can work. Eric says his life belongs to Taylor now; he can't do this for her.
In Rick's office, Hope and Rick discuss Brooke. Talk turns to Liam. Hope complains that Liam was a breath away from marrying her when Steffy showed up pregnant. She thinks he'll remember what they could have had and know he has a choice now. She talks about how he was about to put a ring on her finger when Steffy took him away. She's sorry for what they're going through, but he has a choice now. Rick doesn't want to see Hope get hurt again. Hope says Liam loves her, and she believes they'll be together again. Later, Hope remembers the near-miss wedding with Liam. She decides to call him.
At Forrester, Eric can't believe what Brooke is suggesting. She moons about them giving Rick and Bridget a baby brother or sister. Eric has no desire to relive his younger years, and reminds her that she rejected him before. Brooke insists she can't have this baby without him - it will destroy Katie's marriage and her own life as she knows it. Eric sniffs that no one would believe it. Brooke says they can say they were together when Taylor was on a teaching weekend - they consoled each other over Stephanie and their feelings resurfaced. Eric mocks her. Brooke isn't pleased. He apologizes, but reminds her that he's happy with Taylor. Brooke sniffs that she's using him. Eric says that's what she would be doing too. Brooke feels it's different - they loved each other. She adds that this news would likely kill Katie. Eric gets her to admit she wouldn't be proclaiming love if she wasn't pregnant. He'll do what he can to support her but says, "Not this lie."
