Betrayals and disappointments reign on The Bold and the Beautiful on Monday, March 24, 2025, in the wake of Steffy Forrester firing Hope Logan. While Hope will fail to get support from her beau, Carter Walton, or her mother, Brooke Logan, she is also in danger of losing her man to Daphne Rose in the upcoming episodes.
The past week on The Bold and the Beautiful saw the drama around Carter's conscience play out as Brooke and Daphne pressured him about his coup. On the other hand, his girlfriend, Hope, refused to recognize the tell-tale signs of remorse and tried to remain upbeat about running Forrester creations. After meeting Ridge Forrester, Carter crumbled and tore up the LLC papers.
On the other hand, Steffy Forrester asserted her return as CEO by sacking Hope and terminating her fashion line. At home, though, Steffy decided to stand by her husband, Finn Finnegan, through the devastating revelation of Lunna Nozawa being Finn's biological daughter.
Meanwhile, The Bold and the Beautiful remains one of the longest-running CBS daily soaps, airing since March 1987. The plot focuses on the Forrester family and its fashion business extending to include associating families, the Logans and the Spencers.
