Carter Walton is at his wit’s end as he struggles to manage Forrester Creations alongside Hope Logan.

What started as an opportunity for growth has quickly turned into an unbearable burden.

Initially, Carter believed that aligning with Hope would strengthen the company,

but the reality of running such a massive fashion empire has been far more challenging than he ever expected. Hope continues to push him to assert his authority and maintain control, but Carter is growing increasingly drained.

As the pressure mounts, Carter reaches his breaking point and explodes at Hope, unleashing all his pent-up frustration. He yells at her, making it clear that he can no longer shoulder this responsibility. Hope is left stunned—she had no idea just how much stress he had been under. Though she desperately tries to calm him down, Carter remains firm in his stance. He feels he has sacrificed too much for this power struggle, yet he has gained nothing in return.

Sensing Carter’s frustration, Ridge Forrester sees an opening to reclaim his family’s company. He may try to persuade Carter to step aside, using his uncertainty to push him toward resigning. Meanwhile, Brooke Logan warns Hope that she may be pushing Carter too far, urging her to reconsider her approach before it’s too late. But Hope isn’t just facing backlash from Carter—Steffy Forrester seizes the moment to apply even more pressure, forcing Hope to acknowledge her missteps.

With the weight of the company crushing him, Carter may make a game-changing decision about his future. Will he walk away from Forrester Creations, leaving Hope to deal with the fallout? Or will Hope find a way to convince him to stay? Ridge won’t slow down in his pursuit to restore the company to its rightful owners, while Brooke continues to push Hope to change tactics if she wants to keep Carter on her side.

Meanwhile, Steffy consults with Taylor Hayes, hoping to devise a strategy to bring Forrester Creations fully back under their family’s leadership. At the same time, Liam Spencer might get involved if he senses that Hope is losing control. Elsewhere, Finn and Luna’s storyline takes an unexpected turn, adding another layer of drama to the chaos.

As tensions rise and allegiances are tested, Carter’s breaking point could shift the power dynamics at Forrester Creations forever. Will he abandon Hope and leave the company behind, or will she find a way to salvage their partnership? Don’t miss the next explosive episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful!
