CBS daytime’s The Bold and the Beautiful will kick-off the new year with the continuation for the fight for Forrester Creations with Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) on one side, and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), and Eric (John McCook) on the other, with some intriguing players caught in between.

However, that’s just for starters. As previewed with TV Insider, the series executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell teased what’s to come for the Forrester, Logans, Spencers and their lives in and out of Los Angeles amongst the fashion business. The new year will also bring another one of B&B’s epic location shoots.

Bell expressed, “I aways love telling business storylines. We don’t do them that often, but I really think that’s something we do well and the finale of who’s in charge of Forrester Creations will be resolved in the first part of 2025. It will be a battle royale going on there.”

However, with the arrival of Daphne Rose, played by Murielle Hilaire on the upcoming January 7th episode, Carter ups his plan but it may be his undoing. Daphne is known as the finest “nose” in Paris when it comes to creating a fragrance. Carter wants to launch one. However, the audience will soon learn, “She’s a plant by Steffy to really undermine Carter and to dismantle this current situation where he, Hope and Brooke are in charge,” explains Bell. So, there will be a secret and a twist in the story, and she’s going to use very interesting techniques. Although she appears loyal to Carter, her ultimate goal is to get the company back in the family.”

Brooke/Ridge/Taylor will be revisited for the umpteenth time as Bell shared that Brooke taking over as CEO of Forrester is a sticking point Ridge just can’t get past, sharing, “No matter how she justifies it, it’s wrong, and, of course, Taylor (Rebecca Budig) will agree. So, we’re going to explore their relationship a bit further.”

Steffy and Finn (Tanner Novlan) will also see their relationship face new tests. Bell previewed, “Steffy and Finn are going to have a new challenge,” but he added, “They’re as strong as a couple can be and we’ll see if they can weather the next storm.”

The relationship between Bill (Don Diamont) and Luna (Lisa Yamada) just got weirder when on today’s episode, Bill has somehow managed to convince the prison (with his connections) to let Luna serve out her prison term on the Spencer property but no one can know about it. Bell elaborated, “We’re going to get into Bill’s character and how his childhood was very much like Luna’s and no one helped him, so he’s going to want to help Luna. Now we don’t know whether he’s being played or not — no one really plays Bill Spencer — but he’s going to have a little affinity for her and her story and what she’s had to endure. ”

In addition, look for the younger set of Will (Crew Morrow), Electra (Laneya Grace), and Remy (Christian Weissmann) to jump start a “far-reaching” story with the Logans. Bell also promised that the MIA Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) will return in 2025 with “a front-burner story but one that’s completely different for him.” As is the new story the head scribe is crafting for Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) and Deacon (Sean Kanan), which is also shaping up to being something different than they have dealt with before.

So, what do you think of Brad’s 2025 preview of what’s to come on B&B? What are you looking forward to seeing the most? The least? Comment below.

As a viewer from day one, I plead for BB to stop the Ridge, Taylor, Brooke madness.
It’s obvious after all these years that Brooke is always going to get what she wants versus what the fans want.

That’s why KA was fired because she was popular with fans I somehow hope KA gets her revenge and if you manage to read the article on Brad you need to wear boots that’s how full of c… Bell is this recast of Taylor is a bust and this arrogant man knows it. DD has been relegated from leading man to buffoon.

Brad Bell claims to respect KKL. She’s been with the show since Day 1. (like JMC) Give Brooke a decent love interest that’s viable. No one cares about boring Tridge. Put them back together and back burner them. KKL deserves better.

We need something to shake up the boring story. Hope it happens.

ELECTRA AND WILL CAN’T SEEM TO GET TOGETHER

Elsewhere, Electra (Laneya Grace) is bemoaning her break-up with Will (Crew Morrow) over his keeping the Logan fashion house agenda a secret from her. Right there to pick up the pieces is R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti), who is more than happy to drive a further wedge between Will and Electra.

However, while Dylan (Sydney Bullock) makes another play for Will, he is filled with regret of not coming forward and bracing Electra for Hope jumping ship to Logan, and their new jewelry line featuring the “Hope for the Future Diamond.” How long will Electra and Will remain apart?

You can check that conversation out below.
