There’s just no way of knowing what the future holds for Eric, so Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) will continue to wrestle with whether he made the right call.

Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) knows Finn and Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) did everything they could in the operating room, but Eric is still facing a difficult, risky recovery.

That’s especially obvious now that Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery) has appeared in Eric’s room, where he’s surrounded by bright light.

Stephanie told Eric that everyone had been waiting for him and insisted Eric was home, so she’s basically inviting him to stay with her in the afterlife.

Eric has been remembering some wonderful memories and probably feels a lot of peace in this moment, so he may be tempted to take Stephanie up on her offer.

However, B&B fans know Eric has come too far to give up now!

It just isn’t Eric’s time to go, so he’ll presumably reject Stephanie’s heavenly invitation sooner or later.

There may be some scary moments where Eric’s medical team nearly loses him, but he’ll come back to his living loved ones in the end.

Eric may tell Stephanie that his family still needs him and choose to stick around for as long as he can.

Thanks to Finn’s research and the experimental procedure, Eric has the chance to recover and perhaps live for many more years.

That’s great news, but the road ahead won’t be easy! Eric will have to rely on his doctors and keep fighting when things get dicey.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Eric’s reunion with Stephanie will be a temporary one, so stay tuned for updates on his next chapter and all the drama ahead.
