Tensions reach a boiling point in Bold and Beautiful as Hope finds herself on the losing end of a devastating power play. Carter’s catastrophic blunder has placed her entire fashion line in jeopardy, leaving Hope vulnerable to Steffy’s calculated vengeance. In a shocking oversight, Carter neglected to secure a written agreement, relying only on a verbal promise from Ridge and Eric to protect Hope for the Future. This mistake proves to be fatal, as Steffy seizes the opportunity to push Hope out completely.
As the Forresters celebrate reclaiming control of their legacy, Hope faces the harsh reality of betrayal. Carter, riddled with guilt, confesses his blunder to a stunned Hope. His good intentions have cost her everything, and Steffy wastes no time capitalizing on the situation. She lays down the law—Hope is out, and there’s no going back. The battle lines are drawn, setting the stage for another fierce war within Forrester Creations.
Meanwhile, Steffy isn’t just targeting Hope professionally—she’s out for revenge. Hope’s reliance on Carter has backfired, leaving her isolated and powerless against Steffy’s ruthless determination. As Ridge, Eric, and Taylor rally around Steffy, Hope quickly realizes she has been cast aside with no safety net. Her desperate attempts to salvage her career fall on deaf ears, as Steffy ensures that she has no place left in the company.
But Hope isn’t the only one dealing with betrayal. The Forresters themselves are blindsided by an even greater deception—Daphne Sinclair’s shocking affair with Ridge! This scandalous revelation sends shockwaves through the family, turning Taylor into the scapegoat as chaos erupts. Steffy, furious at Ridge’s betrayal, takes matters into her own hands. Her vengeance is swift and merciless, targeting not only Hope but also Ridge and Taylor. 
Daphne, a powerful and cunning rival, isn’t just here for Ridge—she’s here to dismantle Forrester Creations from the inside. With damning evidence of past corporate secrets, she delivers a crushing blow that shakes the very foundation of the company. Ridge, once the unshakable patriarch, finds himself cornered by Daphne’s ruthless manipulation.
The scandal deepens as Daphne reveals Ridge’s hidden misdeeds, including a past betrayal that ruined her mother’s career. Now, years later, she is back for revenge, armed with stolen designs and insider information that could destroy the Forresters for good. Thomas unknowingly played into Daphne’s hands, giving her access to Forrester Creations’ most confidential files. Now, the family is left scrambling to contain the damage, but it may be too late.
As the fallout intensifies, Ridge’s career and reputation crumble, leading to a dramatic shift in power. Steffy, determined to restore the family name, takes charge—but her fury knows no bounds. With Hope ousted, Ridge disgraced, and Taylor devastated, the Forrester dynasty is left in turmoil. But Daphne isn’t done yet. She has one final move, a devastating blow that could tear the family apart once and for all.
With secrets exposed, careers ruined, and relationships shattered, the battle for Forrester Creations has never been more ruthless. Will Hope find a way to reclaim her place, or has Steffy’s revenge sealed her fate? And can the Forresters survive Daphne’s ultimate betrayal, or is this the end of their reign in the fashion world? Stay tuned—things are only getting started!
