THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Carter Realizes the Depth of His Betrayal of Ridge and the Forresters

In a very Shakespearean moment (think Julius Caesar or Henry IV Part 2 here) on the Friday, February 14th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is consumed with guilt on how he stole Forrester Creations right from under his longtime best friend, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), the creator of the fashion dynasty, Eric Forrester (John McCook) and his granddaughter, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).

The change of heart and conflict comes on the day of the launch of the jewelry line, and when Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) tries to appeal to Carter after seeing how his decision to takeover Forrester Creations is weighing on him. The episode featured an excellent performance by Lawrence Saint-Victor.

In story, Electra (Laneya Grace) stops by Carter’s office to give him the custom piece he requested for Valentine’s Day. Carter tells her it’s exquisite and that Hope (Annika Noelle) will love it. Next, he hides it in his office drawer. At that moment, Carter comes upon Eric’s stapler and stops dead in his tracks. Meanwhile, Hope makes a speech welcoming everyone to the Carter Walton era of Forrester Creations.

As everyone gathers to watch the sales of the debut of the jewelry line, Hope sings Carter’s praises for his leadership at the company. She says, “This is what the future of Forrester Creations looks like.” Brooke is giving side-eye to her daughter! After the launch is a success, Hope calls for a celebration. She kisses Carter in front of everyone as Brooke stares down at Carter.

Later, alone with Hope, Carter says this doesn’t feel right. He understands the Forresters built the company. Hope urges him not to let that overshadow his accomplishments. She says that he dared to dream big, and it succeeded. “Allow yourself to celebrate that.” Carter agrees that they righted the ship and proved that they can lead. Then, in an emotional moment, Carter tells Hope, “Maybe this is our chance to go out on top.”

Hope is confused and angered. She was put down over and over by Steffy and the Forresters. Carter says what he did was not right. We tricked them and it was underhanded. Carter wants to apologize to Ridge and Hope gets infuriated at the notion, stating, “You want me to apologize to Ridge and Steffy after everything they’ve done to humiliate me, to insult me?”

After saying she will not apologize to anyone, Hope will not comfort Carter. He says he is a traitor, adding, “I don’t think I can live with myself.” Carter tells Hope they’ve proven themselves, it’s time to make this right. Hope cries out, “You said you had my back! You said you would stand by me!” He pulls out the necklace from the desk, but Hope won’t accept it. She says it’s not the time for that and exits in tears.

Alone, Carter is at a loss with his betrayal and the woman he loves walking out on him, and is left in tears. Carter takes the necklace out of the box and pounds on the desk and shatters all the the gemstones in it within the palm of his hand. Suddenly, Ridge appears at the door and belays. “Heavy is the head that wears the crown, huh Carter?” We fade to black.

Will Carter ultimately make up with Ridge and give back the company to the Forresters … or will Ridge’s words stings Carter so badly, that he will have an about face?

Ridge was wrong to say the.things he said about Hope, in front of her mother, Brooke. Steffy is just a total bitch, whose time is coming once it is revealed that Luna is Finn’s daughter – HA!!

Agree 110%. Can’t stand Steffy. I feel for Hope and agree with everything she says.

And how many times do we need to hear that Carter and Ridge are best friends and brothers and they love each other (on Valentine’s Day!)? Almost as nonstop as the praise for Paris and then Luna. And “I wish I knew what made me drink”. I’ve watched since 1996 and the writing has been painful the past two years. Even the charactera now say “I know we’ve talked about this before but …”

Lawrence S.V.’s acting was good but it was Annika Noelle who really moved me with the scene with Carter. Just give her the Emmy. No one deserves it more.

I can’t stand steffy she got it coming when her husband tells her who his daughter is I hope that bitch shit on her self

… I too have misgivings about Steffy.

Wow why so stupid in behind these SOAP OPERAS, IT IS A SOAP OPERA

Because.it is a soap opera and you become invested.

Then all the females are bitches and all the males are bastards because they literally like a thief in the night, stole something that someone else created because stupid little Hope got her feelings hurt. It’s time for all of the Hogans to step away from the Foresters and create something of Their Own.

Yay! Steffy is bossy, but not what you say. Hope wouldn’t tell her that she was waiting in lingerie for Carter, so Steffy thought Hope was making another play for Finn, Steffy’s husband.
Surely you saw Hope get at least 2 chances to tell the truth. But, Hope didn’t tell the truth about waiting for Carter, and got fired. Any boss would have fired her, not just Steffy. Sex in the workplace is not good. Hope should have been fired before it even got to that.
Steffy is my favorite actress on the show. They just don’t know how to write lines for a strong woman without making her sound bossy.

Exactly!!!

Lew…when Finn does come clean and tells Steffy about Luna being his daughter, I hope that it hurts that INSUFFERABLE WITCH Steffy’s feelings…A LOT!!!!! Tick Tock Tick Tock…

She’ll sure be keeping her guard up, that’s for sure, lest she land up in another cage or whatever. And she thought Sheila was bad, ha,ha. God, I can’t wait until Li finds out, she’ll kill Poppy for messing with her son, all those years ago and hope she wants nothing to do with Luna, as well.

Oh yeah!! This is one thing she can’t control! The only bad thing about this is she will probably run to Liam and who wants to see that again!

Looks like it’s unanimous! Does anyone like and admire Steffy? She plays her part well, her Grandmother, Stephanie would be proud.Love how daddy just eats up her crap and feeds into her s…, along with her mommy. Those two, deserve each other, why in God’s name does Brooke want him back, she’s well rid of him!

I personally would not want a company to grow knowing I stole a company to me I have not accomplished nothing everything I do its not my work its the Forrester work now I would have when a built a company from the ground up and put in the work to make Forrester creations look like nothing and put them out of business

If I were brooke I wouldn’t take ridge ass back l would tell he can have Taylor’s ass

I think Carter Brooke and hope should start their own business and give the foresters back the company that belongs to them

I agree

The entire story line sucks. Steffy is a bitch. Hope is hopeless and the Ridge triangle is gross. Taylor is a pathetic character. And WTH with Bill and crazy Luna?

I agree and Steffy still hasn’t learned her lesson the way she treats people especially the Logan’s.

To still from someone else hard work that was build from the ground up is a horrible dishonest act I don’t approve of there actions .
If they wanted a company so bad go and make your own dreams by going out a purchase space and make it happen instead of stealing from someone else .
What a horrible storyline .
They need to do the right thing and fix this mess it isn’t good I am starting to not like the show anymore.

Everybody wants Hope and Carter but they have no fashion design talent. Hope’s line was designed by Forresters. She only had a dream. Ridge designed for Brooke’s line. They might start a business but they do not have a reputation to build on but it is a Soap.

As far as Steffy goes, did I see a baby bump last week? Has she got a fith one in the incubator?

Wow that’s talking out of your ass. It’s a show. Omg . It’s getting freaking good the show.

I don’t know who the hell you are talking to, but I ‘d tone it down a little, you must be such a nice person!

I love steffy! Hope is a whiny, unappreciative brat. But for the first time, I’m cheering on Brooke over Taylor. This was a poorly cast replacement. Luna story line is ridiculous.

I think you got it wrong. the Foresters did they betraying , my treating people without their last name, in an inhumane manner. there is no wrong way to start a revolution against that. the real way to State what you said, is the Foresters gaslit a man with a heart, and continue to be misogynist against Hope. so Carter is not betraying anyone. he’s doing the right thing by Hope. and he will see that when a self-absorbed Ridge opens his mouth.

I’m seeing all your “pro-Car” post.
I am also disagreeing. (one part that is)and it is that:imo jmo lol

1.)Carter I love for a long long time in multi-soaps, but not now.What a loser he is.

2.)became a big ole’ dope when he elect to steal like a thief in the night, a company built not by him or his biological family kin. by Eric and it’s wrong. Full stop. Period.”

You want a company so bad Carter? Build it. all begins in life with an idea. Do it.Don’t steal.

I am praying he is written to finally give it back, crying teary-eyed 2 days ago. He is clearly guilt ridden. Hope need a life. Without her, he would not be doing this at all. Carter also is being used. Hope didn’t love or fall in love with her. It was what he can get her/do for her.Sadly he is going to learn the hard way since RIDGE always shall win in the end,and this time, I am routing for his bro, his bestie or former “bruh” and former bestie to win. I have zero doubt, BELL will allow it to occur.
I am just hoping soon.”

your post is definitely YOUR opinion .

Carter did not betray anyone. Ridge and Company committed misogyny and oppression against anyone who doesn’t have the Forester last name . Carter is doing the right thing by taking over the company. and he will see that when Ridge opens his self-absorbed mouth .

Carter did not betray anyone. he’s rightfully starting a revolution against misogyny and oppression . and hope reminded him of that, before she stormed out. he knows that she’s right and he’ll come around back to her side , especially after Ridge opens his self-absorbed mouth

someone racist keeps taking my Pro Carter comments off the board. your article is definitely in line with that. so I don’t care anymore since you act like this even though this is just a soap opera

Don’t forget about how nice Hope has been in the past …….anyone the
After Thomas feel onto the vat at Forrester and she thought he was drowning, she walked out and supposedly let him drown aand didn’t tell anyone. When she got pregnant with Beth, Liam was still married to Steffy. When she and Thomas got together, how many times did she lead him on. Hope seems to forget the reason they were canceling her line was because people were not buying it.
I am glad they are not dressing Hope like she is 12 years old now as the did for years. If Hope had a job in the real world and not a soap, she would learn much quicker about her line being canceled if not making $$$. Steffy is a business woman.

Bill & Luna plot is the craziest thing I’ve ever seen — even if on a soap.

Agree 100% Steffy is a very strong woman and that is why so many people try to make her into the bad guy. Being bold and outspoken doesn’t make someone a bitch. Did nobody see how Hope reacted to Carter Friday? I mean she sounded like my four year old when she doesn’t get her way. It was pretty pathetic. If that didn’t open Carter’s eyes to the fact she is using him then he deserves every ounce of heartbreak that is coming to him. And to top everything off Carter and hope are thieves!!! That would be the same as someone being rude to me or not agreeing to everything I say so I go and take something that is sacred to them and their family. Nothing about that would be ok!

you think a woman has to be a bully to be strong? Carter and Hope are revolutionists they are not thieves. in this gray area world, nobody can suddenly get on their moral high horse it would be hypocritical and phony .

as far as what Hope did after Thomas fell into the vat, any woman would do the same thing , because Thomas was and is a monster . in fact, most of those women would have been killed . people are bashing a scared woman, the rightfully defended herself, and who escaped to death from a monster such as thomas?

Lawrence Saint – Victor finally playing a leading man as encouraged by his former costar Rena Sofer. Happy someone listened. He’s doing a swell job. He’s the Mandingo of daytime. I secretly hope he surrenders the business back to the Forresters . And then take off your shirt and ponder your thoughts.

The writers are making Carter out to be a punk and blaming Hope for everything Carter did to take the company. Carter needs to stand his ground and move forward with all the plans he has for the company. It’s a pleasure to finally see the Forresters put in their place for a change. Let this play out and don’t give the company back too soon.

I agree with everything you said, except giving the company back . they should never give the company back.

I used to like/love hope since the Very beautiful natural talent, actress Kimberly Matula. Fifteen yrs.
I loved her even more at times when the good actress and the lovely Annika Noelle took over the role as Hope Spencer, now again Hope Logan.” I am not liking her as much anymore since she was the one who stole, like a thief in the night Forrester Creations.(Carter and with Hope’s support) and from last year when she did that to poor Thomas.Thomas changed/new/reformed/mature man. Growth was clear when it came to the formerly crazy actin/bad boy/dysfunctional Thomas.”I will 1 day like or love hope again, (not if)but when she and her tv soulmate liam, reunite again.

I have no doubt liam and hope will. BELL love those two just like he love Finn and Steffy and he love Ridge and Brooke.” I have zero doubt #LOPE will reunite. They are bold’s endgame,

then, Ican like her again.I hope that Carter who used to be a great guy, handsome, fit, funny, incredible guy on the show, and a lawyer to boot, i hope he does the right thing,so I can like him again. Right now, i do not, but loved episode February 02/17. I liked how he began to cry, teary-eyed, while Ridge did hug him after “at first hesitating to”. GREAT epie 1 day ago.” Deep down, when you’re feeling like you are wrong, own up to it. Make it right, BEFORE it is too late.”(even in a soap)on tv…’

Sick of all of it! Carter is weak for love! He needs to do the right thing and give the company back to its owners. HOOE IS POWER HUNGRY! SICKENING!!!

Does anyone realize that ,yes,they has big dreams for the company..BUT ITS NOT THEIR COMPANY,Hope is a whiny spoiled brat.shes gonna lose everyone because of greed!! LOVE IT

Bring back Thomas! This stuff is so cringe to watch.

I cannot abide this wishy washy Carter character. He took over Forrester and now wants to apologize. He thinks he did something wrong to the Forrester clan by stealing their company. Ya think. He crying and upset and ashamed. Where was this shame when he was sleeping with Eric Forrester’s wife Quinn? When he was betraying Eric every day while working with him. When the Forresters inevitably get their company back please give Carter some backbone and let him leave the company and become DA or a corporate fixer outside of Forrester. Give the man some dignity and pride at least.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?

Published

We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!

B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.

On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

Photo: JPI

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.

At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.

When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.

So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.

What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond

Published

When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.

Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.

As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION

Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it.  I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”

Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl  I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”

BROTHER TO BROTHER

Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

Courtesy/CBS

“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”

In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”

All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?

So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside

Published

on

By

The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!

After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.

So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF

The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.

Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA

Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP

Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.

So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
