‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Donna Logan was engaged to Thorne Forrester

When Donna returned to The Bold and the Beautiful in 2006, she immediately started shaking things up. One of Donna’s early storylines was her desire for revenge against Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery). Donna wanted payback for Stephanie’s mistreatment toward her sister Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang).

Donna came up with the perfect solution when she seduced Stephanie’s son Thorne Forrester (Winsor Harmon). Thorne fell head over heels in love with Donna and proposed, much to Stephanie’s dismay. Donna and Thorne were set to wed; however, the couple never exchanged vows. Katie Logan (Heather Tom) blabbed the truth about Donna’s plan to Thorne, who dumped her at the altar.

Following her botched wedding to Thorne, Donna quickly captured the attention of another Forrester. Donna began a romance with Eric, which faced disapproval from his kids and Stephanie. Thorne and Felicia Forrester (Lesli Kay) interfered in the couple’s relationship and tried to reunite Eric with Stephanie. However, their attempts proved futile.

Eric and Donna married, yet from the beginning, their union was rocked by problems. Stephanie’s sister Pam Douglas’ (Alley Mills) attempt to break up the newlyweds led to dangerous consequences. Pam accidentally poisoned Eric, leading him to have a heart attack. She then held a honey-drenched Donna captive in a cabin, where she unleashed a bear on her.
