In this episode of  The Bold and the Beautiful, Carter takes bold steps

by inviting Ivy and Electra to Los Angeles with the hope of reviving Forrester Creations’

struggling Hope for the Future line. By launching a new jewelry collection,

Carter believes they can inject fresh energy into the brand,

providing Hope with much-needed relief from her worries. But his decision doesn’t sit well with everyone—especially Steffy, who isn’t convinced that Ivy and Electra’s designs are right for the company. Carter urges Steffy to reconsider, and Ivy even tries a direct approach, attempting to sway Steffy personally. Ivy understands the tension between her and Steffy but hopes that, for the sake of the company, Steffy can put aside her personal feelings.

Despite Ivy’s efforts, Steffy firmly rejects the proposed jewelry project, voicing her doubts about Ivy and Electra’s creative direction and expressing little interest in reviving Hope for the Future. Undeterred by Steffy’s response, Ivy decides to seek support from Eric, knowing that his influence could shift the tide in her favor. As Ivy shares her perspective with him, Eric, who values family unity, sees the potential benefits of the project and feels that Steffy might not be considering the opportunity objectively. He expresses his support for Ivy’s initiative, which brings the collection launch back into consideration while indirectly undermining Steffy’s authority.

Carter’s unwavering support for Ivy and Electra’s collection raises eyebrows, especially with Steffy, who begins to question his motives. Steffy, now wondering if Carter’s personal feelings for Ivy are clouding his judgment, is taken aback by the surprise arrival of Ivy and Electra at Forrester Creations. She believes that, as CEO, Carter should have consulted her before making such moves. Carter’s actions have Steffy reevaluating her trust in him, a sentiment her father Ridge has long felt. While Steffy initially respected Carter’s commitment to the company, his recent maneuvers make her doubt his loyalty and whether he’s using his position to advance personal agendas.

Carter’s involvement in the jewelry launch not only risks his position at Forrester but also deepens a rift within the Forrester family, especially as he’s seen to prioritize Hope’s project over his responsibilities. His attempt to assist Hope may ultimately backfire, threatening his career at Forrester Creations as Steffy, and possibly Ridge, consider whether Carter’s actions are too risky for the company’s future.

Tune in to *The Bold and the Beautiful* to see if Carter’s gamble will pay off or lead to his undoing as tensions rise within Forrester Creations.
