Soapies

John McCook - otherwise known as Eric Forrester to most of us - has been the anchor of ‘The Bold and The Beautiful’ for almost 37 years. His iconic character is known around the world, but specifically resonates with so many South Africans, who grew up watching the soapie every afternoon. Gareth Cliff goes behind the scenes of the long-running production. John also speaks about his various other roles in television shows, such as ‘Murder, She Wrote’ and ‘The Young and the Restless’, meeting his wife on set, and his connection to South Africa.
