As far as The Bold and the Beautiful fans are concerned, Carter and Hope's coup has been successful, and the Forrester's management team has left the building. The episode that aired on December 17, 2024, found Carter selecting Brooke Logan as the new CEO after Steffy Forrester vacated the chair.
Moreover, Hope informed Ivy that Katie would put out a press release as Carter told the designer that her jewelry line was to stay. With Katie Logan and Ivy Forrester continuing in the company, Forrester Creations may stay in business unlike Eric predicted. However, Ridge and Steffy hatched a plan by asking Zende to continue as their inside person in the company.
Longtime fans know the plot of The Bold and the Beautiful revolves around Forrester Creations, the family fashion business founded by Eric Forrester. The Forresters employed Carter Walton, besides members of the Logan family, in the company. The long-running CBS daily soap is seeing its first internal coup since its premiere in March 1987.

The Bold and the Beautiful: How are the Forresters reacting to the coup?
Eric, Ridge, and Steffy Forrester left the company even though Carter invited them to stay on in their positions. Shocked at Carter's betrayal, the Forrester trio promised to take back their family business from the outsider, Carter.
On the other hand, Ridge Forrester piled all the blame for the immoral takeover on Hope Logan, same as his daughter, Steffy. This enraged Brooke, who stood in defense of her daughter. This created a rift between the couple as Ridge reconnected with his former wife, Taylor Hayes.
While the Forrester trio sat thinking about how to reclaim their company, Zende Forrester arrived to inform them about his decision to resign to side with his family. In response, Ridge and Steffy advised him to stay on in his role as a designer. They apprised him of how valuable he would be as their inside man, as Tuesday's The Bold and the Beautiful episode showed.
While the plan apparently seems to have Zende stay on in the company and get inside information for Ridge and Steffy, Eric encouraged him to continue designing as a designer. Ridge and Steffy predicted that the company might sink out of business without the Forresters' talented work since Carter did not have talent in fashion. As such, they want Zende to help keep the company afloat till they can take it back.
The Bold and the Beautiful: What changes are likely to come under Carter's reign?
As of Tuesday's episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Carter Walton is planning to make Brooke Logan the new CEO of Forrester Creations. As Brooke assumes her chair, she may invite many of her old associations to continue their loyalty towards the company.
Also, Brooke and Katie Logan were shown firing Electra Forrester over the anonymous doctored photos mailed to Katie. While Ivy is expected to resist this move, whether she may quit the company over this is as yet unclear. However, Electra will confide in her "old friend," Remy Pryce, about her dismissal without knowing he was behind these photos.
Will Spencer will likely threaten Remy, who may plan a retaliation. Whether Will chooses to leave Forrester Creations for Electra's unfair dismissal remains to be seen.
Zende, on the other hand, will continue to work closely with Hope Logan on her design line, Hope for The Future. He may also plan to relay internal information to Ridge and Steffy. However, his work atmosphere will not be as conducive as it was before.
Without a doubt, the Forresters and Taylor will be taken aback by the press release news that announces Brooke as the new CEO of their company. Stay tuned to CBS as more drama unfolds between the Forresters, the Logans, and Carter in the upcoming episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful.
