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? What did you think of the performance of Lawrence Saint-Victor within the episode? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
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.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Reconnects with Danny; Tristan Roberts Arrives in Port Charles, Lots of Nods to #16
General Hospital’s 16,000th episode was packed with little reminders through points in today’s script that the ABC daytime drama series has set another milestone and it paved the way for the return of fan favorite and newly nominated Daytime Emmy Lead Actor nominee Steve Burton (Jason Morgan). The 16,000th episode also introduced viewers to the new surgeon in Port Charles Dr. Tristan Roberts played by Dean Geyer.
Here are the key takeaways and what went down on the July 13 episode: Tristan and Jason are seated next to each other on a plane heading to Port Charles. Throughout the flight, a beaten up Jason has flashbacks to being thrown into, and being held captive in a cell and tortured. It appears Jason is suffering from some form of PTSD from what he was put through after being dragged out of Port Charles by the WSB months ago.
As the plane prepares to land, Tristan tells Jason there would be a car waiting for him once they land and to enjoy the rest of his life. Later, Tristan arrives at the nurses and doctors hub at GH and approaches Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). He tells her his name and that he is the new surgeon on staff.

A REUNION PLUS A HEAD NURSE DEFENDS SONNY
Meanwhile, at the end of the episode, Jason is outside the Quartermaine boathouse looking bewildered when he runs into Danny (Asher Antonyzyn), who is so thrilled to see his father, and the two hugs each other as tears are shed.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth tells Sonny (Maurice Benard) that he thinks its a great idea for him to get the 16th seat on the hospital board, but when it comes times to convince Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) of that, things go awry when Tracy, Laura and Sonny try to work things out. After Tracy launches into Sonny about killing Alan and Monica’s son AJ, Sonny walks away dejected.
Next, Sonny runs into Elizabeth, where he informs her what happened with Tracy. So what’s a head nurse to do? Elizabeth marches into the conference room and reminds Tracy of all the different donations and ways Sonny has contributed to the hospital from the Stone Cates AIDS wing, to the Michael Corinthos Center for Pediatric Head Injuries as well as his constant support each year for the GH Nurses’ Ball.

WSB WAR SCARS
Then, in one of the best parts for longtime fans of the series, Elizabeth talks about her legendary grandparents, Audrey and Steve Hardy and she tells Tracy they would have wanted Sonny to have a seat on the board for all the good that he has done for the hospital. After Elizabeth states Sonny’s case, things took a turn and Tracy and Sonny wound up shaking hands as Sonny is board member #16.
In the how great was it to see Anna (Finola Hughes) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) together scenes department, the pick-up of last Friday’s cliffhanger is played out as the two former lovers fill each other in on what has gone down in their lives in the last several months including Valentin admitting he had been living in Carly’s attic, and Anna realizing she was kidnapped by Cullum, Sidwell and Cassius Faison. During their conversation, Anna sees the hallucination of Peter August (Wes Ramsey) right while Valentin is standing there.

Later Anna was on her way to saying goodbye to Valentin, when the two share an emotional hug. After Valentin made his exit, Peter reappeared and warned Anna to not let Valentin distract her because she has important work to do. Anna answers, “I know.”
So, what did you think of General Hospital’s 16,000 episode? What do you think is wrong with Jason? What is the important “work” that Anna has to do? Were you glad to see Sonny get a seat on the hospital board, or not so much. Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out the scenes on Jason and Tristan’s long flight to Port Charles.
This week on General Hospital begins with the ABC soap opera’s 16,000th episode which brings Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) back to Port Charles after being released by the WSB; all thanks to the deal made between Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) and Z (John Oliver).
On the same episode, the upshot of Anna (Finola Hughes) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) coming face to face, and seeing each other for the first time in months plays itself out, and it may not be how you think. Josslyn hopes sending Valentin to the side of Anna, will break up his burgeoning relationship with her mother, Carly Spencer (Laura Wright), but will it?
It appears Valentin has a warning for Anna. In the GH video preview for the episode, Anna is seen saying “How do you know that?” What does Valentin know, and will he be the person that will catch on that she is being haunted by the ghost of Peter August (Wes Ramsey)?

In addition, look for the debut of Dean Geyer in his role of Dr. Tristan Roberts (named after the beloved late Tristan Rogers (Robert Scorpio), as he and Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) may have a tense exchange or two.
Then, in the aftermath of their argument, Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) asks Chase (Josh Swickard) “Did I push you towards Willow (Katelyn MacMullen)?” Is Chase going to admit his fixation with his ex-wife, or reassure his current wife that he is not interested in Willow? Stay tuned.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sidwell Offers Jordan a Way to Get Surgery On Her Face; Will She Cave and Comply with His Demands?
On General Hospital, Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) finally had it out at the PCPD. The scenes played out on the Thursday, July 9 episode of the ABC daytime drama series.
In story, Sidwell requested a meeting with Jordan. Angered, he wanted to know why she’d given the police the location of his safe house. After months of being undercover, Jordan finally admitted the truth!
Jordan reveals the entire time she was gaining his trust, she was working on the inside at SRE Worldwide, to find evidence against him and bring him down. Snidely, Jenz admitted he’d been suspicious initially of Jordan. However, she eventually won him over, and he saw the value in her being the pretty, public face of his criminal organization to throw everyone off.

Trying to make a deal to save his own skin, Sidwell offers to pay for restorative plastic surgery for Jordan’s face, and at the same renowned German clinic that had treated Michael (Rory Gibson) for his severe burns.
Sidwell tells Jordan if she would go to Zurich and empty some bank accounts for him, he will help her jump ahead of the long waiting list to get into the clinic. Defiant and standing up to him, Jordan turns down his offer.
Next, Sidwell threatens her intently, that he’ll find a way to pay Jordan back by making her life miserable. He tells her she will suffer and regret turning him down.
Once she exits the PCPD interrogation room, Jordan takes a deep breath, but brings her hands to the scars on her face from the car crash that injured her.
Is Jordan actually contemplating Sidwell deal to get her into the German clinic? If so, will she be the person to set him free into the world with loads of cash from his overseas bank accounts? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
