Jennifer Gareis recently shared with Soap Opera Weekly her thoughts about Donna's unlikely romance with Eric on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Soap Opera Weekly: It's quite a heartbreaking sacrifice Donna is making on behalf of her family.
Jennifer Gareis: I'm hoping Donna doesn't have to (laughs). She finally gets everything she wants and now she has to give it up.

Weekly: Well, if nothing else the Logans have certainly proven themselves to be committed to each other as a family.
Gareis: I think they are, and I think with their dad coming home they all finally got a glimpse at what it would be like to be a family. So to tear it all apart would be heartwrenching.

Weekly: It's sad. The two things Donna always wanted was to have her family reconcile and to find true love. Now she has both within her grasp but she has to sacrifice one for the other.
Gareis: It's quite a dilemma!

Here's an exciting The Bold and the Beautiful spoiler:

Remember years ago when psychiatrist James Warwick shockingly revealed he was a virgin - and the Taylor proceeded to deflower him in the rubble of a massive earthquake?

"Well, I'm about to repay the favor," Ian Buchanan told TV Guide.

The actor returns to his Emmy-winning role as Warwick on January 28 for a short-term stint that has him helping the troubled Taylor (Hunter Tylo).

"By the time I arrive, she's hitting the sauce pretty bad and having hallucinations," said Buchanan, who hopes a cure doesn't come too quickly, considering how writers' strike is crippling prime time.

"I feel like changing the dialogue to say, 'Gee, Taylor's in worse shape than I thought. This could take me a year.'"
