Steffy Turns Her Back on Carter – Brooke Left Devastated by Ridge’s Choice!

The tension at Forrester Creations reaches a fever pitch as shifting loyalties and heartbreak shake up the company. While Daphne makes her move on Carter, Ridge delivers a crushing blow to Brooke, leaving her in tears. Meanwhile, Steffy and Taylor celebrate a hard-fought victory, but the emotional fallout threatens to disrupt their newfound peace.

Brooke’s Plea Falls on Deaf Ears
At Forrester Creations, Brooke stands face-to-face with Ridge, her voice thick with emotion. She pleads with him to remember the love they share, declaring, “I’m your Logan, the love of your life, just like you’re the love of mine.” Desperate to restore their relationship, she begs him to come home, believing that their connection is too strong to be ignored. However, Taylor watches with a mixture of disbelief and satisfaction, convinced that Brooke is simply using her position at Forrester to manipulate Ridge and Carter.

Brooke insists she only stepped into her role at Forrester to make things right, not to scheme her way back into Ridge’s life. She believes they can heal together, but Taylor sees through her act. As Brooke waits anxiously for Ridge’s response, the air in the office is thick with anticipation.

Ridge Makes His Choice
In the main office, Ridge stands torn between the two women who have shaped his life. Brooke remains hopeful, convinced that their love is eternal. Taylor, on the other hand, has heard all this before and is tired of the same old cycle. Ridge finally speaks, acknowledging the deep history he shares with Brooke. However, he has made a commitment—one he intends to keep.

“I will always love you, Brooke,” Ridge admits. “But my future is with Taylor.”

The words hit Brooke like a thunderbolt. She shakes her head in disbelief, tears welling up in her eyes. She had hoped against hope that Ridge would choose her, that he would realize their love was worth fighting for. But instead, he has chosen to move forward without her. Heartbroken, Brooke walks out, unable to hold back her tears.

Steffy Turns Her Back on Carter
Meanwhile, in the design office, Steffy confronts Daphne about her growing connection with Carter. She reminds Daphne that Carter was never supposed to be an option, but her friend is unapologetic. “He’s an amazing man,” Daphne says, shrugging off Steffy’s concern.

Finn enters, planting a kiss on Steffy’s cheek as she beams at him. He can sense her relief, and she confirms that Forrester Creations is officially back under their control. Thanks to Carter, the LLC papers were torn up, allowing them to reclaim what was rightfully theirs. But despite the business success, Steffy is still troubled. Hope never showed an ounce of remorse for what she did, and that betrayal still lingers in the air.

Carter, meanwhile, faces his own struggles. Hope rejects him outright, accusing him of betraying her. “You had a chance to stand with me today, and you chose them instead,” she snaps. Carter insists he acted on his conscience, trying to do what was right, but Hope isn’t interested in excuses. Feeling completely abandoned, Carter turns to Daphne, who reassures him that he made the right decision. “You’ve carried this guilt long enough,” she tells him. “Now it’s time to let go.”

What Comes Next?
As Steffy and Finn reflect on recent events, Steffy admits that it feels like a weight has been lifted now that the company is back. But the battle isn’t over yet.

“We dealt with one Logan, but now we have to handle another,” Steffy tells Finn.

Finn nods, knowing exactly who she means—Brooke. She’s still a threat, still trying to find a way back into Ridge’s life. Though Ridge made his choice, Brooke isn’t the type to back down easily. If she gets into Ridge’s head again, she might undo everything Taylor and Steffy have worked for.

With alliances shifting and emotions running high, the future of Forrester Creations remains uncertain. Will Brooke accept Ridge’s decision, or will she fight to reclaim her place in his life? Will Carter and Daphne find happiness together, or is Carter still too haunted by his past? One thing is for sure—the drama is far from over!
