The Bold and the Beautiful takes a dramatic turn with Carter Walton entering into a new role as the CEO of Forrester Creations. The fans are left stunned as Carter and Hope Logan move ahead to take control of the fashion empire by signing an LLC document.
The storyline has pitted the viewers against each other since some appreciate Carter's determination to finally come out into the spotlight and others believe that his actions are a betrayal of the Forrester family legacy.
As Steffy and Ridge rush to maintain order amidst the chaos, tensions are running high on and off-screen. Fans are taking to social media to voice their opinions and debate whether Carter's new role is a fresh start for Forrester Creations or the beginning of its downfall. Here is the post that has sparked the discussion on The Bold and The Beautiful's Facebook group:
"I watched the coming attractions, Carter filled the paperwork so Carter is the new CEO. I guess Justin couldn’t stop it. So now Steffy and ridge have to answer to Carter and hope. Well this should be interesting" said a post created by a fan on Facebook.
Many fans have shared mixed reviews about the appointment of Carter as the new CEO of Forester Creations.
The Facebook group is flooded with various reviews. Many netizens are saying that Carter and Hope own the company, while others think Ridge and Steffy still own the firm and Carter is simply a puppet in the whole show.
Is Carter the right choice for CEO on The Bold and The Beautiful?
Carter Walton has long been a loyal member of the Forrester team, often operating behind the scenes in his role as the company’s legal counsel. However, his sudden promotion to CEO has raised eyebrows, with many fans questioning whether he has the experience or vision to lead a global fashion brand.
While some viewers feel that Carter's dedication and integrity make him a natural leader, others believe his impulsive actions and alliance with Hope Logan signal trouble ahead.
Supporters of Carter say that it is through taking control that Carter proves he intends to end the dysfunction at Forrester Creations. Commenting on the same Facebook post mentioned above, one fan calls Carter "the unsung hero of Forrester and adds that "it's about time he gets the recognition he deserves."
The critics, however, feel that the power grab by Carter is a betrayal, especially to his best friend, Ridge, and Eric, the founder of the company. Another fan comment reads, "This doesn't feel like Carter at all. He's always been about loyalty, and this doesn't sit right."
What role does Hope Logan play in this takeover on The Bold and The Beautiful?
The union of Hope Logan and Carter has also created heated controversy. As the previous head of the now-defunct 'Hope For the Future' line, Hope has been seen as a victim of Steffy's merciless decisions and also as a catalyst in the Forrester saga. Her goading Carter to take control has been seen as liberating by some and manipulative by others.
Fans can't agree on how clean Hope's motives are. Some might believe that she genuinely sees Carter as the Forrester leader who will carry this house forward, while others perceive she is coming from a place of bitterness regarding her firing.
