The Bold and the Beautiful took yet another dramatic turn this week as the ever-complicated power dynamics at Forrester Creations continue to shift. Hope Logan’s excitement over Carter Walton securing the signatures for their scheme to take over the company is quickly turning into a whirlwind of betrayal and heartbreak.
For months, Hope has been pushing forward with her plan to dethrone Steffy Forrester, eager to see the look on Steffy’s face when she loses all her power as CEO. With Carter’s rise to the top, the two have been working side by side in secret, making strides to seize control of the Forrester empire. But as the drama unfolds, it’s clear that Hope’s plans are about to implode in spectacular fashion.
While Hope and Carter shared an intimate moment at the cabin, their happiness was short-lived. In a shocking turn of events, Brooke Logan, in an effort to right the wrongs she feels have been done, rushed to the Forrester offices and confessed everything to Ridge. The betrayal is monumental—not just because of Hope’s involvement with Carter, but because Brooke has betrayed her own daughter. Hope, once a trusted member of the Forrester family, now finds herself on the receiving end of her mother’s fury.
Next week promises even more explosive drama as Ridge confronts Carter, delivering a crushing blow to his career. Ridge, now aware of Carter’s involvement in the plot against Steffy, makes it clear that Carter’s time at Forrester is up. This marks a pivotal moment for the once-promising executive, who now faces the fallout of losing everything he’s worked so hard to achieve.
Carter’s fall from grace doesn’t just affect him personally—it has devastating implications for his professional future. Ridge, deeply hurt by Carter’s actions, makes it clear that trust has been shattered beyond repair. Carter is no longer welcome at Forrester Creations, and as the walls close in around him, he faces the very real possibility of losing everything, from his position to his relationships.
Meanwhile, Hope’s feelings toward Carter are shifting rapidly. No longer seeing him as an asset to her fashion line or a key player in her fight against Steffy, Hope is preparing to discard him in favor of something—or someone—else. As Carter watches his dreams crumble, Hope sets her sights back on Finn, eager to rekindle the connection she once had with him. For Hope, Carter has become a mere pawn in her game, and with him out of the picture, she is ready to reclaim her place at the top.
This latest twist in the Forrester family saga leaves viewers with a lot to digest. Will Carter be able to redeem himself, or is his fall irreversible? Can Hope recover from her betrayal of Carter and fix her fractured relationships? And what about Steffy—how will she react when she learns the full extent of what has transpired?
The drama is far from over, and fans will be on the edge of their seats as these characters’ fates intertwine in ways none of them could have predicted.
