Zende Forrester Dominguez has been part of The Bold and the Beautiful storyline for almost a decade since he joined Forrester Creations. However, his story arc has been on a side burner for some time, particularly after he and his cousin, RJ, had a confrontation over Luna Nozawa.
According to current plot dynamics, Zende may find himself at the center of the Forrester-Logan tussle in the coming days. He may also become a crucial participant in the ongoing feud as both parties will likely trust him. He already claimed his loyalty to the Forrester family. However, his long association with the company and other facts may influence his actions moving forward.
Meanwhile, Zende joined the CBS daily soap's plot in 2001 as a child adopted by Kristen Forrester and Antonio Dominguez. His origin story arc highlighted the issue of HIV-AIDS in the long-running soap, which revolves around the Forrester family's fashion business. The Bold and the Beautiful, which premiered in March 1987, also includes the Logan family, the Spencer family, and others.

The Bold and the Beautiful: Zende's involvement in the Forrester-Logan drama
Zende Forrester Dominguez approached Eric Forrester, intending to resign after Forrester Creations changed hands. While Zende's position was in jeopardy when Steffy cut Hope's line, Hope for the Future, where Zende was a chief designer, he continued in Brooke's fashion line.
After Carter Walton and Hope Logan called a coup and took over the company, Zende wanted to stay loyal towards his family as a Forrester. However, Ridge and Steffy asked him to continue in the company as their inside man. Moreover, Eric encouraged him to continue designing as before to keep the company afloat.
Zende was shocked when Brooke Logan accepted the position of CEO of Forrester Creations. He charged Brooke after her press release, assuming disloyalty on her part. However, Brooke revealed to him under confidence, that she planned to reinstate Ridge as CEO and Steffy as co-CEO.
Brooke confided to Zende that she planned to ask Carter to draw up fresh LLC documents. She planned to use her power as the CEO to give back the Forresters their rightful ownership. This relieved Zende as he realized Brooke was as unhappy with the takeover as he was.

As the current plot of The Bold and the Beautiful reveals, Brooke has a long-term plan of taking over the CEO's position to ultimately hand over the company to the Forresters.
However, Ridge has misunderstood her move and sought comfort in Taylor's arms. As Brooke finds out that Ridge and Taylor are back together, she may feel betrayed.
