The Bold and the Beautiful: What caused fans to disapprove of Ridge and Steffy?
As fans know, Carter Walton was the COO of Forrester Creations and Hope Logan was a designer at the company till Steffy Forrester fired her.
In retaliation, Hope backed Carter's scheme to steal the Forrester company. Being a lawyer, Carter's plan was legally foolproof, making it difficult for the Forresters to take the company back, and they had to leave.
While the Forresters, particularly Ridge, were shocked at Carter's betrayal, they blamed Hope for the coup. While Steffy claimed Hope got into Carter's head, Ridge called Hope names even in front of her mother, Brooke.
When Brooke objected, he left home and went to his former wife, Taylor.
The episode that aired on Wednesday, December 18, 2024, showed Ridge and Brooke having a conversation predicting the company's future while planning to take it back.
While Steffy worried that Carter would find the right people to work for him including Hope, Ridge called Hope an idiot who mishandled her own design line.
He declared that no one would want to work for Carter, knowing he stole the company from the Forresters.
What is the likely future of Forrester Creations?
Carter Walton has decided to appoint Brooke Logan as the CEO of the company, a chair that Brooke once held in the past. If Brooke accepts the new role, her sister Katie will make a press release on the same.
Brooke has a long association with the company and is likely to get market loyalty. As such, she may run the business successfully.
As for Ridge, he would view Brooke's new role as disloyalty towards him and siding with Carter. This is likely to push Ridge towards Taylor Hayes, pleasing both Taylor and her daughter, Steffy.
With Ridge out of her life, Brooke may find a new romantic partner.
As for the company, it would pull on for some time as most of the staff members are staying back, except Ridge and Steffy. However, Katie and Brooke fired Electra Forrester.
Whether this would affect Will Spencer and Ivy Forrester's jobs remains to be seen.
