Power, loyalty, and ambition collide in Wednesday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful as Forrester Creations spirals deeper into chaos. After Steffy’s shocking move to fire Hope, Carter Walton steps into dangerous territory, setting off a new wave of tension inside the company’s walls.

Carter’s Dangerous Game

Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) has reached his breaking point. Angry over the recent power plays at Forrester Creations, he decides to take matters into his own hands. Despite his expansion proposal being dismissed by Ridge, Steffy, and Eric, Carter refuses to let the rejection stop him.

Now, he’s vowing to “fix” the situation — starting with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). His loyalty to Hope and determination to restore balance could lead to major changes at Forrester. But if Carter’s plan backfires, both his career and reputation could crumble.

Hope Faces Her Breaking Point

Meanwhile, Hope is reeling from Steffy’s bold and brutal termination. For years, she’s poured her heart into the company, only to be cast aside without warning. In a heartbreaking moment, she confides in Brooke that she doesn’t see a future for herself at Forrester Creations. “Nothing feels right anymore,” she admits, capturing the emotional fallout of her dismissal.

Now, Hope must decide whether to walk away from the family business or fight back against Steffy’s ruthless decision. Either path promises pain — and potentially, redemption.

Brooke vs. Ridge: A Marriage Under Pressure

Brooke’s fury erupts when she confronts Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) over Hope’s firing. Ridge intended to tell her before Steffy made the announcement public, but Brooke already knows the truth. Their argument threatens to reignite old wounds in the BRIDGE relationship, forcing Ridge to defend his loyalty to both women while trying to hold the company together.

More Trouble Ahead

As the dust settles, Taylor and Steffy hint that Katie Logan (Heather Tom) could play an unexpected role in the fallout, complicating alliances even further. With Carter secretly plotting and Hope struggling to find her footing, Forrester Creations is on the brink of another seismic shift.

This week’s episode delivers the perfect blend of betrayal, ambition, and emotional confrontation — the kind of drama only The Bold and the Beautiful can deliver.
