On the October 25, 2024, episode of The Bold and the Beautiful,

tensions rise at Forrester Creations, and personal feelings clash with

business decisions. Steffy is not thrilled when Ivy and Electra make a grand entrance,

promoting their new jewelry collection. After reviewing the pieces, Steffy finds herself unimpressed and vocalizes her disapproval of the project. She believes that the launch of the collection isn’t aligned with Forrester Creations’ current goals and doesn’t see its potential success.

Ivy, on the other hand, feels that Steffy’s personal bias is clouding her judgment. She accuses Steffy of letting emotions get in the way of the company’s best interests—a major misstep for someone in a leadership role. Ivy is adamant that business should come first, and Steffy’s emotions should take a backseat when making important decisions.

In stark contrast, Eric sees promise in Ivy and Electra’s project. Though Eric is no longer actively involved in the company’s day-to-day operations, his opinion still carries significant weight. He grants Ridge and Steffy full authority to make the final decisions, but it’s clear that his approval of the jewelry line has left Steffy in a tough spot. She can’t entirely dismiss Eric’s perspective, even if she doesn’t agree.

Meanwhile, personal matters continue to complicate Ridge’s life. His growing closeness with Taylor is creating a wedge between him and Brooke. Ridge has been spending an increasing amount of time with Taylor, which has raised Brooke’s suspicions and frustration. Despite Ridge’s attempts to explain his relationship with Taylor, Brooke can’t shake the feeling that there’s more going on than meets the eye. The couple continues to argue, pushing Ridge further away from Brooke and toward Taylor. Brooke’s inability to accept Ridge’s connection with Taylor leaves the door wide open for Taylor to swoop in and rekindle their past romance.

After a heated confrontation with Brooke, Ridge finds solace in Taylor’s presence. As he vents his frustrations about both his personal life and the pressures at work, Taylor offers him a listening ear and much-needed comfort. This emotional support only deepens their bond, leaving viewers to wonder whether Ridge’s feelings for Taylor will grow stronger, leading to a potential romantic rekindling.

In another part of town, Sheila is up to her usual antics at Il Giardino, where she works during the Halloween season. In true Sheila fashion, she’s dressed in a witch costume, which seems to perfectly suit her eccentric and unpredictable personality. The restaurant embraces the spooky season with a special Halloween-themed menu, even going so far as to add a dish inspired by Sheila’s notorious past, including her infamous lost toe.

While serving Carter at the restaurant, Sheila seizes the opportunity to pry into his personal life. She directly asks Carter about his relationship with Hope, which raises eyebrows given Hope’s connection as Deacon’s daughter. Sheila, naturally, has her own reasons for taking an interest in Hope and Carter’s dynamic, sensing that something deeper might be brewing between them. Sheila’s curiosity leaves Carter caught off guard as she subtly probes into whether his feelings for Hope are genuine.

With tensions running high across both personal and professional fronts, this episode of *The Bold and the Beautiful* promises drama, unresolved conflicts, and the potential for shifting relationships. Steffy’s struggle to balance emotions with business, Ridge’s growing closeness with Taylor, and Sheila’s meddling set the stage for an explosive future at Forrester Creations.
