Character's background

While at school at Northwestern University, Beth Henderson had been in love with Eric Forrester (John McCook) and they were dating. After their relationship ended, due to Stephanie Douglas (Susan Flannery) roping Eric into marriage because she was pregnant (with Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss), who wasn't even Eric's son); she married Stephen Logan (Patrick Duffy). Stephen and Beth had four children, Storm (William deVry); Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang); Donna (Jennifer Gareis) and youngest daughter, Katie (Heather Tom).

Before the show began, Stephen had deserted Beth and the children, as he felt that he would never measure up to Eric. Beth had gained a job as a caterer and so she and Brooke had catered a party that Stephanie had set up for one of the fashion shows.

This allowed Eric to reconnect with Beth, whom he had always loved. Beth suffered during this time from breast cancer. Stephanie, desperate to keep Eric away from Beth, contacted Stephen, who was estranged from her, to come back into their lives. Stephanie also convinced Bill Spencer (Jim Storm) to give Stephen a job in Paris, to keep Beth as far away from Eric as she could.

Despite all this, Beth has always loved Eric and wishes he was still in her life. Eventually however, she and Stephen divorced, because of her lingering fondness for Eric.

Beth Logan returned to Los Angeles on June 18, 2008 at the request of Nick Marone, because he thinks her youngest daughter, Katie, who recently had a heart transplant, needed her. Her family is now worried about Beth's strange behaviour.

On June 27, 2008 she revealed to Katie that she has had several mini-strokes and is also in the early stages of dementia. It took some convincing but Beth finally agreed to stay in LA and receive treatment from her granddaughter Dr. Bridget Forrester and other doctors. The treatment seems to be working.

Stephen and Beth have also hinted at a possible reconciliation.

On October 7, 2008 Beth was injured by a hit and run driver, believed to be caused by crazy Pamela Douglas.
