Many fans took to social media to express how Carter did the right thing by speaking the truth to Ridge.
Many fans also argued that the Forresters owned the company and they could do whatever they wanted.
Was Carter right to call out Ridge and Steffy's leadership on The Bold and The Beautiful?
Carter's bold confrontation with Ridge pointed out a long-standing criticism of the Forrester leadership: their tendency to blame the Logans whenever something goes wrong. Ridge's implication that Hope manipulated Carter into betraying him struck a nerve, prompting Carter to fire back with a scathing remark about the family's "learned behavior" of scapegoating.
Carter's fans argue that he exposed the bias in Forrester Creations, where the non-family members are often expendable on The Bold and The Beautiful. His point about Brooke's evidence-based decision-making contrasted sharply with Ridge and Steffy's emotional and sometimes petty choices, particularly the cancellation of Hope's fashion line.
However, critics argue that Carter's actions—teaming up with Hope for a hostile takeover—undermined his credibility and professionalism. In the final analysis, Carter's defense of Hope and the underdogs at Forrester leads one to wonder whether the company's leadership needs a change or whether Carter overplayed his hand in trying to force change.
Did Ridge go too far in firing Carter on The Bold and The Beautiful?
The most shocking act in this episode of The Bold and The Beautiful was Ridge's dramatic dismissal of Carter: calling him a "lovesick puppy" and severing all ties, on and off the job. Ridge said the firing was necessary to protect the Forrester legacy, but fans are asking if he did it out of anger rather than logic.
Some viewers see that Ridge's decision is appropriate because Carter's actions symbolize a betrayal of trust and loyalty. As the COO, Carter is supposed to serve the interests of the company, not against its leadership. Others feel that Ridge's reaction was too extreme and hypocritical because he has his own history of questionable decisions and personal entanglements.
It leaves fans wondering whether this was the right call on Ridge's part to cut ties with Carter or whether he should have sought a resolution to reserve their long-standing friendship and professional collaboration.
What does this mean for Hope and the Logan family on The Bold and The Beautiful?
Hope's involvement in the takeover attempt has brought the feud between the Logans and the Forresters back to life on The Bold and The Beautiful. With Ridge and Steffy doubling down on their mistrust of Hope, Brooke's efforts to try to mediate only add to the tension. Hope, however, is unapologetic, saying that her actions were based on a desire for fairness and change.
Fans are divided over whether Hope's motives were noble or self-serving. While some applaud her for standing up against perceived injustices, others argue that her methods were reckless and manipulative. Meanwhile, Brooke's pointed reminder that Ridge and Steffy demand blind loyalty from their team underscored the challenges of working within a family-dominated company.
The fallout from Carter's firing and the botched takeover attempt leaves fans wondering what the future holds for the Logans at Forrester Creations. Can Hope regain the trust of the Forrester leadership, or will this be the beginning of a deeper divide between the two families?
