Incredible Revelations: Why Did Donna Logan Leave Bold and the Beautiful? đ„ For Reasons Youâll NEVER Guess

Jennifer Gareis, the actress who portrays Donna Logan on The Bold and the Beautiful, has become a fan favorite for her portrayal of a woman who navigates lifeâs ups and downs with grace and strength. But this past year, Donnaâs journey took a turn that left audiences in tears, then filled them with joyous surprise.
The Year That Changed Everything
It all started with a wave of happiness. Donna finally found love with Eric Forrester, a union that fans had been waiting for years to see. But just as the couple settled into their new life together, a devastating revelation shook their world.
Eric, battling a terminal illness, learned he was dying. The weight of this news fell heavily on Donna, forcing her to face the possibility of life without her soulmate.
âLast year was a whirlwind,â Gareis admitted to Soap Centralâs Dan J Kroll. âThere were so many good scenes that I looked at.
So much, so much good writing, you know, like in the guesthouse, reminiscing about the years that weâve been together in the hospital by his side. There were so many scenes.â
Gareisâ portrayal of Donnaâs grief, resilience, and unwavering love for Eric resonated deeply with viewers.
The actressâs performance was so captivating that it earned her an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, a testament to her talent and the impact of Donnaâs story.
An Emmy Surprise on the Freeway
The news of the Emmy nomination came as a sweet surprise for Gareis, but it almost got lost in the hustle and bustle of life.
Stuck in traffic on the Los Angeles Freeway when the announcement was made, she struggled to find a way to access live TV on her phone.
âI was trying to figure out how I could get live TV on my phone to hear this announcement,â she shared. âBut I couldnât exactly pull up apps while I was on the freeway.
So, I didnât get to do that. But Eva [Basler, B&B Publicist] called me and said that I [was nominated].â
The news of her nomination was a much-needed ray of sunshine, but it was quickly overshadowed by another commitment. Her daughterâs fifth-grade camping trip was waiting!
âI had to pick up my daughter and her friends to go camping,â she explained. âSo, I heard the news Friday morning, and then I had to go home and pack up for this camping trip, and then I picked up my daughter, and I was on the road all the way up to Santa Barbara in Friday traffic and stuff.
So, I barely digested this because I was camping the whole weekend with a bunch of fifth graders.â
Emmy Night and the Future of Donna
The camping trip is over, and Gareis can now focus on the upcoming Emmy Awards. While she hasnât decided on her attire yet, sheâs planning to make it special.
âI havenât thought about the dress or the shoes or anything yet,â she confessed. âBut I want to make it special, whether I get somebody to design one for me or maybe just find a fabulous one, like a Dolce & Gabbana or something fun like that.
With the spotlight on her now, fans are wondering what the future holds for Donna. Will she find love again? Will she overcome the heartbreak of losing Eric? The answers to these questions are yet to be revealed, but one thing is for sure: Donnaâs journey has captivated audiences, and weâre all eagerly awaiting whatâs next.
