The Bold and the Beautiful: Forrester has a new boss!

Most recently, Hope was fired from Forrester due to a misunderstanding, but Hope's new man Carter was already plotting revenge.

Hope and Carter's criminal plan is revealed

Ridge wants to convert Forrester into an LLC for tax reasons, and Carter has been ordered to draw up the official paperwork.

Carter has told Hope that Ridge and Steffy always sign the paperwork without reading it. So Carter could secretly put himself in charge of Forrester in the paperwork!

 

It's a fraud, and a crime. And also a betrayal of Carter's good friend Ridge. Do Hope and Carter really want to do it?

Before the final step, Carter tries one more time to get Ridge and Steffy to change their minds about Hope and her collection. But no. The final straw for Carter is when the arrogant and hypocritical Steffy calls Hope a "bitch."

 

Ridge and Steffy sign the papers that turn Forrester into an LLC. And unbeknownst to them, Carter becomes the CEO of Forrester. Ridge sees Carter's name on the papers, but signs them anyway because he trusts his friend.

Will Brooke choose her man or her daughter?

Brooke overhears Hope and Carter talking about their betrayal. What does Brooke do?

She IMMEDIATELY rushes to tell Ridge what she heard. Ridge is naturally very upset by his good friend Carter's betrayal, and fires him. "You are fired."

 

And what about Hope? When she finds out what her mother did... That Brooke chose Ridge over her daughter...

Forrester's New Boss

With Justin's help, the Forresters try to find a loophole in the contract they signed. There isn't one, so despite their protests, Carter becomes the new Forrester manager.

 

The Forresters accuse Carter of letting Hope manipulate him into this coup. They think it's all Hope's fault.

And when Hope shows up, also Ridge calls her a "bitch." Carter doesn't like that, and neither does Brooke.

At home, Brooke and Ridge argue. Brooke can't stand Ridge's claim that Hope is brainwashing and destroying all her men. Ridge can't stand Brooke defending Hope. "Is Hope just a slut," Ridge wonders. "A slut like her mother"? Brooke asks. Brooke wants to know if Ridge thinks she's a slut? Ridge thinks Brooke should be defending him and not Hope. If Hope will continue living here, Ridge will leave. Brooke isn't going to evict Hope and Beth, so Ridge storms out.

 

And where to Ridge rushes first? To Steffy and Taylor, of course. Will Taylor finally get Ridge back?
