The Forrester patriarch revealed he has erectile dysfunction to his wife Quinn Fuller Forrester (Rena Sofer). Now, the timing of that surprising news may seem a little strange. The couple just got back together at Eric's request.

Does Eric really have erectile dysfunction?

Yesterday, famously virile fashion patriarch Eric Forrester (John McCook) made a big announcement on The Bold and the Beautiful. Ten seconds after reconciling with estranged wife Quinn (Rena Sofer), Eric announced he had erectile dysfunction. Eric and Quinn's initial affair was all about sex.

Does McCook have ED?

McCook says that Eric is his friend but he does not always agree with his decisions. In other words, he is an actor who does what the script requires and asks no questions. He makes it clear that while his alter-ego has ED he does not which should put that issue to rest.
