Soap opera crossover alert! John McCook (Eric Forrester, “Bold and the Beautiful”) will head to Genoa City later this month to visit a past love interest, Lauren Fenmore (Tracey Bregman).
Soaps: One Big, Happy Family
OK, maybe not always!
We at Soap Cities love when a character from one soap visits another soap–especially when they’re sister soaps like “The Young and the Restless” (Y&R) and “Bold and the Beautiful” (B&B) are. Ew.com reported McCook’s exciting upcoming appearance on YR.
In addition to shorter stays in B&B’s Los Angeles setting, Bregman starred on the soap from 1995-1999. During that time, she and Eric hit it off and began a relationship.
Now Lauren is happily married to Michael (Christian LeBlanc), and Eric is newly married to Quinn (Rena Sofer). But as viewers know, Lauren’s business, the boutique, Fenmore’s, is in a bit of a financial pickle. Jack (Peter Bergman) last week offered to invest in Fenmore’s to help keep the company afloat.
As a fashion magnate himself, Eric may be on his way to help Lauren’s business as well. Look for him on Y&R on January 27th.
McCook and Bregman: Thespians Par Excellence!
