Ridge’s BETRAYAL Brooke! Hope’s Risky Revelation! Hope Unveils Her True Feelings to Carter! | Bold and Beautiful Spoilers
Drama explodes as Hope makes a daring confession to Carter, while Ridge’s wavering heart leaves Brooke reeling. As Finn takes a stand, Ridge is confronted with a choice that could alter his future. Meanwhile, Steffy receives shocking news about Ridge’s whereabouts, leading to yet another confrontation.
After Finn makes a pivotal decision, Hope takes a leap of faith and lays her emotions bare to Carter. She presses him on whether anything has shifted within the company. Though nothing has officially changed yet, Carter senses that a shift is inevitable. He admits that he once saw Ridge as his best friend but now feels deceived. Hope, determined to challenge Ridge’s authority, questions Carter about whether he truly believes in their mission. While Carter is reluctant to acknowledge it, Hope asserts that they cannot allow Ridge to manipulate their emotions. She urges him to stand firm against those trying to make him feel guilty.
Meanwhile, Ridge is caught off guard when Brooke confronts him about his place at Forrester Creations. She tells him bluntly that he belongs there just as much as he belongs at home with her—not with Taylor. Despite her insistence, Brooke has no interest in taking over as CEO, making it clear that her only desire is for Ridge to return to her. However, Zen and Daphne are puzzled by Ridge’s sudden return to the office, particularly his private moments with Brooke. Daphne speculates that neither Steffy nor Taylor will be pleased with this development.
Back at the mansion, Steffy is anxious about Finn working yet another double shift. She confides in Taylor, lamenting that their anniversary passed without much time together. Despite her frustration, Taylor reassures Steffy that Finn’s commitment to their family remains strong. Their conversation turns to Ridge’s presence at Forrester, and when Daphne and Zen unexpectedly call to inform her that Ridge is behind closed doors with Brooke, Steffy is furious. Taylor, however, believes that Ridge is simply being cornered and manipulated by Brooke once again.
At Forrester Creations, Ridge and Brooke argue over Hope’s actions. Ridge blames her daughter for pushing Thomas away and disrupting the family dynamic. Brooke defends Hope, insisting that she only wanted love and respect, but Ridge isn’t convinced. He believes Hope’s ambitions have led to destruction, and Brooke’s unwavering support for her daughter only fuels his frustration. Ridge storms out, leaving Brooke rattled and unsure of how to mend the damage. 
Hope, on the other hand, refuses to back down. She tells Carter that Ridge has no right to dictate the future of Forrester Creations. Hope reminds Carter of the effort they put into making the company thrive and refuses to let Steffy and Ridge take control again. Carter, still conflicted, acknowledges that they acted with good intentions, though he struggles with the cost of their decisions. Hope urges him to recognize his worth and not succumb to guilt. As she passionately expresses her stance, Carter wrestles with his loyalty and the weight of his choices.
Meanwhile, Finn sits alone in his office, staring at photos of Steffy and Luna. He exhales deeply, muttering, “My daughter…” He realizes that Steffy deserves to know the truth and resolves to tell her everything the next day. As Taylor gains a new perspective on Brooke’s flaws and strengths, she acknowledges that Ridge’s love for Brooke is genuine, but she warns Steffy not to worry too much. However, Steffy remains unconvinced and is determined to find out what’s really going on between Ridge and Brooke.
As tensions escalate, Brooke pleads with Ridge to return to her, while Hope urges Carter to claim his rightful place at Forrester. With secrets simmering and loyalties being tested, will Ridge finally choose where he belongs? And how will Steffy react when Finn drops the bombshell about Luna? One thing is certain—nothing will ever be the same in Los Angeles!
