The backstory of Pam Douglas on The Bold and The Beautiful
Pam is the younger sister of Stephanie Forrester, the wife of Eric Forrester. She was born and raised in Chicago. Stephanie hid the fact that she had a sister and told everyone that her parents were dead.
Stephanie learned the truth about her family through therapy with Taylor Hayes, who advised her to confront their mother, Ann Douglas, in Chicago. When Stephanie went there, she found Pam caring for their widowed mother.
Stephanie and Pam were raised by John and Ann Douglas, with John abusing Stephanie while Ann ignored it, causing Stephanie to resent her. Stephanie moved to Los Angeles to build a life, while Pam stayed behind to care for their mother, giving up her own ambitions.
Pam and Ann were invited to Los Angeles by Eric to celebrate Christmas. Ann left after the celebration while Pam stayed in the Forrester's guest house. This move led to the involvement of Pam in the Forrester Family and their business.
Pam's involvement in the Forrester Family
Pam's loyalty to her sister is highlighted when she attempts to interfere in the relationship between Eric Forrester and Donna Logan, who she sees as a threat to her sister. She took extreme measures to sabotage Eric and Donna's relationship to protect her sister.
Pam initially played harmless pranks on Donna, like tampering with a honey jar and using her dog, Tiny, to mess with her. However, her actions escalated when she harmed Eric, causing him to fall into a coma, all in an effort to protect her sister.
Pam’s pranks became more serious when she began threatening Donna’s family. Stephanie intervened, and it was discovered that Pam had scar tissue in her brain, which caused her behavior. After the scar tissue was removed, Pam had no memory of her actions.
Pam apologized to Donna and moved back to Chicago to check herself into a mental health facility. She later returned to Los Angeles and reconciled with Donna and even appeared on shows alongside her.

Pam eventually took a job as the receptionist at Forrester Creations. Her job in Forrester Creations led to her meeting her boyfriend, Charlie Webber—Forrester Creations' security guard. The pair's relationship became a delightful element amidst the show's intense storylines.
Charlie has been supportive of Pam’s mental health struggles, and they bond over their shared love for baking. He proposed to Pam by hiding a ring in a batch of unbaked lemon bars.
