“The Locher Room” will welcome the latest Mr. and Mrs. Eric Forrester when host Alan Locher is joined by “The Bold and the Beautiful” stars Jennifer Gareis and John McCook on the Friday, March 1 episode of the popular YouTube series.
Earlier this month, Donna Logan (Gareis) finally wed her long-time partner, Eric Forrester (McCook), in a private ceremony at the Forrester estate, surrounded by their closest loved ones. To celebrate their happy union, portrayers Gareis and McCook will talk about the long road that finally led their characters to the alter, what’s next for the couple, and the bond they share as co-stars on the world’s most-watched daily daytime drama series.
John McCook is one of two original cast members remaining on “The Bold and the Beautiful,” having portrayed Forrester patriarch Eric Forrester since the show debuted on March 23, 1987. In 2022, McCook won his first Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series. Discovered by legendary movie mogul Jack Warner while appearing as Tony in the New York City Center revival of “West Side Story,” McCook was one of the last actors formed by the Hollywood studio system and talent development program. Universal Studios later signed him as a contract player before the U.S. Army drafted him for two years.
As for Gareis, she joined the show’s cast in 2006, playing one of the formidable Logan sisters. Before appearing on the half-hour soap, she played the memorable role of Grace Turner on “The Young and the Restless.”
Before acting, Gareis worked in New York City as a model, appearing in the pages of leading publications such as Glamour, Fitness, Esquire and Women’s Wear Daily, among others.
