This Friday on The Bold and the Beautiful, things heat up at Forrester Creations as a simmering power struggle finally explodes. Steffy’s patience has worn thin, and Carter’s bold defiance may be the spark that ignites a major corporate shake-up.

Carter Pushes Too Far

Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) has never been one to cause conflict — until now. Over the past few weeks, he’s become increasingly vocal during Forrester’s executive meetings, letting his opinions fly in a way that’s raising eyebrows across the company.

But this time, he goes one step too far. During a tense strategy session, Carter challenges Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) directly, questioning how she’s handled Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and her role in the company.

What begins as professional feedback quickly turns into a confrontation. And Steffy, ever the fierce leader, doesn’t take kindly to anyone questioning her authority — especially not in front of her team.

Steffy Strikes Back

Steffy’s response is swift, calculated, and ruthless. Still fuming from Carter’s public challenge, she retaliates with a bold corporate maneuver that sends shockwaves through Forrester Creations.

By the end of the day, alliances are shifting, positions are uncertain, and everyone in the boardroom is wondering the same thing — has Steffy gone too far?

For Carter, the consequences could be career-ending. The man who once served as the company’s moral compass might now find himself on the outside looking in.

Halloween at Il Giardino

While tensions rise in the Forrester offices, Il Giardino becomes a scene of Halloween chaos. Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) dives headfirst into the spooky festivities, turning the restaurant into a mix of fear, fun, and pure unpredictability.

Her version of Halloween cheer is as dangerous as it is entertaining, and her antics may just provide the distraction everyone needs — or create new trouble no one saw coming.

Steffy’s Power Play

Steffy’s move may be the statement she needs to remind everyone who’s in charge. But in doing so, she risks alienating one of her most trusted allies.

Will Carter find a way to recover — or has Steffy’s explosive decision changed the future of Forrester Creations forever?
