“I'm done with them period”-- The Bold and the Beautiful fans share mixed reactions to nobody reacting to Ridge disrespecting Hope

Forrester Creations, the fashion business at the centre of the storyline of The Bold and the Beautiful is going through a major upheaval as COO Carter Walton tricked the Forresters, Ridge and Steffy, into signing him as the manager on the LLC documents. While this is a form of hostile takeover, the Forresters had this coming for Steffy's unfair treatment towards Hope Logan.

As fans know, The Bold and the Beautiful, one of the long-running CBS daily soaps, has been airing since March 1987. The Forrester family's business association with the Logan family and its rivalry with the Spencer family make up the basis of the soap's plot.

B&B fans are currently divided about their opinion on the situation of Carter's takeover while Ridge and Steffy continue to blame Hope. One viewer identifying as Ronnie Crawford commented on The Bold and the Beautiful Facebook fan page:

"If Eric or Brooke doesn't address Ridge disrespecting Hope, I'm done with them period. I can't wait to watch."

The Bold and the Beautiful: What are the current plot dynamics involving Forrester Creations?

Recently, COO Carter Walton and his ladylove, Hope Logan, sneaked a coup on the Forresters's family business. Carter drew out the new LLC papers as instructed by co-CEO, Ridge Forrester, but signed his name in place of the manager. While he felt pinches of conscience, Hope egged him on to put the Forresters' highhandedness in place.

As expected, the Forresters, Eric, Ridge and Steffy were aghast and furious. Ridge Forrester, who had been Carter's longtime friend reasoned this backstabbing by blaming Hope Logan. He offered to put this coup behind them if Carter broke off with Hope.

While Carter refused to sacrifice his love to keep his job, Steffy Forrester used expletives to accuse Hope. She urged Carter to not let Hope enter his head and make him lose his integrity. Eric joined his family in criticizing Carter's move alluding to the older man forgiving his affair with Eric's then-wife Quinn. Eric questioned how Carter repaid Eric's magnanimity with a coup.

While both Ridge and Eric Forrester fired Carter, the lawyer took to the CEO's chair trying to negotiate a peaceful takeover. The episode which aired on Tuesday, December 10, 2024, saw Carter silencing anyone who accused Hope.

The criticism spilled out in front of Brooke and Hope who were right outside the Forrester's office. As Ridge spoke nastily to Hope, Brooke let out a mild objection. However, Ridge went on to call Hope names and Carter roared at him forbidding him to speak about Hope like that.

The soap's spoilers suggest, that despite giving a tough fight over gaining control, the Forresters will lose their company, and Carter and Hope will step in to run Forrester Creations. Brooke Logan, who had remained dutiful and faithful towards Ridge so far may have doubts about the relationship after witnessing Ridge's disrespect towards her daughter.

Whether Brooke Logan joins her daughter, Hope, and her beau, Carter, in running the freshly-taken company remains to be seen. Continue watching CBS every weekday to catch the latest drama as Carter and the Forresters battle over the company on B&B.
