Felicia is known as the black sheep of the Forrester family. The youngest daughter of Stephanie (
Susan Flannery ) andEric Forrester (John McCook ), Feliciahas one brother: Thorne (Winsor Harmon ) and three half siblings: Ridge (Ronn Moss ), Rick (Kyle Lowder ) and Bridget (Ashley Jones ), and sister Kristin Forrester. She is affectionately known as Fifi, a name bestowed on her by her mother's friend,Sally Spectra .Soon after Felicia's arrival inLos Angeles in 1990, she forged ill-fated relationships withJake MacClaine (Todd McKee ) and Zach Hamilton (Michael Watson). She left town but returned in 1997 for her parents' wedding (which was called off when Eric's affair with Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman ) was exposed). After Ridge was arrested for shooting Grant Chambers (Charles Grant), Felicia tried to help exonerate him and then attempted to help him reunite with his wife, Taylor (Hunter Tylo ). She was unsuccessful on both counts, and soon left town again.After seven years overseas, Felicia returned in 2004. She quickly began an affair with
Nick Marone (Jack Wagner), who soon discovered that Felicia hadcolon cancer . She had medical tests run and was given the all clear. Felicia then realized that she and Nick weren't going to work out and left forParis .Felicia returned one year later with a baby son in tow. She believed the baby was Nick's, and hence named him Dominick. However, it was soon revealed that Dominick was, in fact, the product of a one-night stand with
Dante Damiano (Antonio Sabàto, Jr. ) in Paris, leaving Nick devastated.Felicia's cancer returned and she eventually "died" in her mother's arms. However, a faint heartbeat was detected in the ambulance and her mother Stephanie had Felicia secretly transferred to a private clinic, where she eventually had a liver transplant. Felicia fought to survive for her child's sake.Meanwhile, Dante and Bridget, believing that Felicia had indeed died, had begun raising Dominick (who they nicknamed "Dino") as a family. Stephanie eventually revealed to the rest of the family that Felicia was alive. Though ecstatic to have her back, Bridget and Dante prepared to fight Felicia for custody of Dino. Over the next number of weeks, the child bonded together Dante and Felicia instead, and Bridget gave up on Dante. Dante eventually proposed to Felicia, although he was still in love with Bridget.
On their wedding day, Felicia saw Bridget staring at Dante and a heated confrontation ensued. Bridget then admitted her love for Dante and they temporarily reunited. When Dante and Bridget eventually split again because of her reluctance to have kids right away, Felicia and Dante were back on.
Several weeks later, Bridget found out she was pregnant. At first, she thought that the baby was the result of a one-night stand with her ex-husband Nick Marone, but further tests concluded that the pregnancy was further along than previously thought, making the unborn baby Dante's child. Dante and Bridget suffered a loss when she revealed she miscarried the child a few weeks later. This didn't stop Dante and Felicia from rallying to her side. Despite Bridget stepping aside for Felicia to reunite with Dante, an act which solidified the sisters once more; she now has feelings of animosity towards her son's father, who now lives in Italy, calling him a loser. She is somewhat allied with
Katie Logan (Heather Tom ), hoping to end the long-time war that had ensued between their families. However, relations between her and Eric have suffered because of his relationship with Katie's sister, Donna, and the imminent end of her parents' marriage. Eric explained to Felicia why he was divorcing her mother, but she still doesn't believe that her mother could do what Eric had said she had.Recently, she's been traveling to Genoa City to assist Nick Newman (
Joshua Morrow ) in the launch of "Restless Style" magazine. While working on the joint campaign, Felicia started flirting with Nick, and recently even joined forces with Nick's half-brother Adam Wilson (Chris Engen) to break up Nick and his wife Phyllis (Michelle Stafford ).Of late, Felicia allied herself with her brothers, Thorne and Ridge, to eliminate Donna out of Forrester Creations, because of the supposed bad publicity that the company had received since Eric married Donna (of whom none of them approve of). Their efforts had been not too well received by Eric, who is angry that his children aren't willing to give Donna a chance; and even their mother Stephanie, whom at one time had no liking for Donna or her sister, Brooke, has pleaded with them to drop their animosity toward her and give her a chance, if anything, for their father's sake.
During a business meeting, it was revealed that
Marcus Walton was indeed Donna's son, and they attempted to use said information to try to drive Donna out of the company, but they were shocked when Eric not only accepted Marcus into the family, but did so because the siblings were only trying to dredge up some scandal, real or fictitious, to get rid of Donna. Donna has since fired her.
