Dysfunctional duo

Eric and Stephanie has never been any perfect couple, far from it. They got married in collage after Stephanie got pregnant, but she had forgotten to mention that Massimo Marone also could be the father. And Eric kept it secret that when he accepted a loan from Stephanie's father John to create the company, that if they ever divorced the company would belong to Stephanie.

After Eric and Brooke called it quits, he went on to marry Sheila, a madwoman who had a deep secret.

On their wedding day, the priest found a picture of Eric and Stephanie's friend Lauren in bed, which made Stephanie cancel the wedding. As Eric tried to get Stephanie back, Lauren schemed to get Eric. She succeeded eventually because Stephanie couldn't stop meddling, trying to break up Ridge and Brooke.

While Stephanie was in the hospital after a stroke, Eric proposed to her and they got married again. Everything appeared to be going great for the two of them until Stephanie's old boyfriend Massimo Marone showed up in town. Soon it was revealed that Ridge was not Eric's son, but Massimo's. Stephanie tried her best to keep the secret and went as far as to leave Eric for Massimo, but returned to Eric. The secret was kept until it wasn't possible anymore and Eric left her upon learning of the lie. But after a while he returned to her.

However, when Stephanie faked a heartattack to reunite Ridge with Taylor, he left again and a bitter fight between then erupted. Stephanie found out about his lie about the company and decided to take over the company herself, and Eric remarried Brooke. But when their youngest daughter Felicia fell ill to cancer, they were brought back together and remarried as Felicia's final wish. However, she survived and her parents stayed together.

Eric, once again cheated on Stephanie, this time with his ex-sister-in-law, Donna Logan, the sister of his ex-wife Brooke and ex-fiancee of his son Thorne.
