Right now Eric Forrester is re-married to his 1st ex-wife Stephanie and treating his 2nd ex-wife Brooke as public enemy no.1, using Stephanie's latest stroke as an excuse.
If Eric really is concerned about Stephanie's health he must seek psychiatric help for her (but not Taylor Forrester's help). Or her obsession with Brooke will eventually kill her, as the following Thorne's dream vividly demonstrates:
In his dream Thorne was telling his mother that Brooke, and not Macy, is the woman he is going to marry. As usual when Brooke's name is mentioned, Stephanie was furious.
Choked on Brooke's name.
And had another stroke. This time a fatal one.
Eric, who has just entered, was horrified to see Stephanie on the floor not breathing.
He tried to give her CPR
But to no avail.
When the medics arrived, all they could do was to tell a horrified Thorne and a devastated Eric that Stephanie is dead.
