On Thursday, October 15 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Heather Tom continues to rack up scenes for her 2027 Daytime Emmy reel after Katie lays the smackdown on Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) in a boiling over point in their sisterly feud.

In story, Brooke has learned that Zende (Delon de Metz) has defected from Forrester Creations and come to work for Katie at warring fashion house Logan.  After she confronts her sister, for what Brooke views as another betrayal, Katie shows that she will no longer be stepped on and over by her sister.

During the argument, Katie points out (and we are glad that she did), that Brooke previously disowned her from the family. She told Katie she was no longer welcome at the Forrester mansion and along with their sister, Donna (Jennifer Gareis), kicked her to the curb.

KATIE WON’T BACK DOWN

Fast-forward to yesterday’s B&B, and here was the pointed dialog delivered by Katie to Brooke: “I’m not going to apologize for Logan’s success. I’m not going to apologize for building a company and a brand practically overnight. And if Forrester is really on the ropes, then maybe you should look internally at how you’re treating your talent,” says Katie. She adds, “Sounds to me like you’re not running a very good business. Because that’s what this is, Brooke. It’s business.”

Brooke fires back, “No, Katie. This is more than business. This is a personal vendetta against me, and it’s gone too far. I don’t like looking at you and thinking that I don’t know my sister. I don’t like that feeling. What about you? Don’t you want this war to end?”

Appalled, Katie tells Brooke, “You want to end the war? You want to stop fighting and come together as sisters, right? You want to stop fighting and come together as sisters, right? Where have I heard those words?”

TOSSING A LOGAN OUT OF THE FAMILY

Just then, Katie reminds Brooke she came to set things right with her months ago only to be thrown out of the family. Katie tells Brooke, “Oh, yeah. I remember I said them to you the night you told me that I was no longer your family … that I was no longer your sister.”

A defiant Katie tells off Brooke, “You barge in. You’re ranting about Zende and how I’m attacking Forrester or attacking you. Well, how many times have you attacked me? Huh? I don’t have to take this anymore. I don’t have to be victim to your emotional manipulation. I have spent my entire life sacrificing my happiness for yours. But no more!”

As Brooke is left reeling and in tears, Katie delivers the final blow to their relationship as they knew it. “You think that I should talk Hope (Annika Noelle) and Zende into going back to Forrester? Why should I do that? I’m not giving them up. I’m not giving up on Zende. I’m not giving up Hope. I’m not giving up my name. I am not backing down. Are you listening to me, Brooke? Are you hearing me? Because I will never back down!”

You can catch the aforementioned scene featuring Heather Tom and Katherine Kelly Lang below.

Now weigh-in: Do you feel Katie is completely justified in everything she said to Brooke? Do you want Katie to crumble the dysfunctional house of Forrester Creations?  Should Heather Tom just get ready for another Emmy come next year, and heck, she might even win this year, since she is nominated for a completely different storyline for the 53rd annual Daytime Emmys Awards, which would make her the winningest daytime actress of all-time! Comment below.

The feud between the Logan sisters continues to escalate after Katie (Heather Tom) once again gain another employee acquisition from a former disgruntled Forrester Creations designer.

During the October 14 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Zende (Delon de Metz) along with Dylan (Sydney Bullock) show up at Logan. Zende informs a stunned Hope (Annika Noelle), Katie, Will (Crew Morrow) and Deke (Harrison Cone), that he quit Forrester and would like to join them. Katie and Hope are thrilled. Will is more impressed than ever with Dylan.

Back at Forrester Creations, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) walks into the CEO office where Eric (John McCook) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) inform her that Zende quit and has gone to work for Katie. The three of them realize things are changing within their company because of Katie, but refuse to look at their part in their own implosion!

BROOKE VS. KATIE ROUND 10

Now angered, Brooke hightails it to Logan to confront her sister. Ready for Brooke to come at her, she tells her sister that she offered Zende an opportunity and he took it. He was being under-valued at Forrester.

Brooke fires back that Katie lied to him, just like she did to Hope. She claims Katie is trying to build Forrester 2.o to spite her! Katie is not deterred by Brooke. She tells her sister to look around – that this is what she and Hope are doing – building a new company.

Continuing on her rant, Brooke says she feels stabbed in the back by her own sister, and her daughter hasn’t help with that feeling. Hope just stands there. Brooke tells Katie that they are truly suffering over at Forrester. Business is not good. She demands, “It has to stop!”

Katie snarks back that this is just business. However, Brooke throws down on her sister, arguing that this is a personal vendetta against her. “It’s revenge,” declares Brooke, and, “It breaks my heart.”

But, does it truly break Brooke’s heart? Is she just saying that to save Forrester from losing any more design talent to Logan? Do you hope Katie pays Brooke back for going after Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) years ago and always talking down to her?

Now, let us know via the comment section how you want the sisterly feud to come to a conclusion. Do you want Katie to successfully take down Brooke and Forrester Creations … or Brooke to take down all of Katie’s hopes and dreams? Weigh-in!

In an about face on the Tuesday, October 13 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Zende (Delon de Metz) agreed to stay at Forrester, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Eric (John McCook) came down hard on Dylan (Sydney Bullock) telling her she’s fired for trying to help Katie (Heather Tom) poach Zende (Delon de Metz) from the fashion house.

Zende steps up and comes to Dylan’s defense, and reminds Eric that he said he could have what he wants, and Zende tells him grandfather, “Dylan stays!” While this is playing out, over at Logan, Katie and company are mulling over Zende turning down their offer to join the company.

Back at the Forrester CEO office, Zende defiantly says Dylan is important to him, and she needs to stay and work here. However, R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti) chimes in that she should be fired. Then, Zende asks Eric just who is making the decisions around here? It seems to Zende, everything they just discussed was all smoke and mirrors.

REQUEST DENIED

Suddenly, after his request is denied, Zende gets angry. He realizes the common thread in ‘Hope for the Future’ being backburnered and Dylan getting fired is all about this being “R.J. and Electra (Laneya Grace) domain.” Zende announces, “My last name doesn’t matter.” With that, he quits.

Next, Zende thanks Eric and Ridge for being wonderful mentors and holds the door open for Dylan as they exit the office. Now in the design office, Dylan thanks Zende for his support, but she doesn’t want him to quit because of her.

“This has been building for a long time,” acknowledges Zende. He is over the nepotism, and the company BS.  As he and Dylan head for the elevator to make their exit, Eric shows up to stop his grandson. “We need you here. I need that. You’re the next generation of Forrester,” says Eric.

WALKING OUT THE DOOR

However, then came the piece de resistance in another compelling and Emmy noteworthy scene from Delon de Metz. Now standing his ground against his grandfather, Zende will not allow himself to be swayed and stands his ground, with tears in his eyes and all the back-history you can muster.

Zende in tears tells Eric, “This doesn’t feel like the place for me anymore. “I’m gonna miss you, Granddad.” Eric tells Zende he loves him, as Zende hugs Eric, that quickly switches to pulling it together and walking out of the family business.

Delon de Metz, who with last Friday’s episode, where Michael Fairman TV named his work the Power Performance of the Week, combined with this closing scene on today’s airshow, should give the actor plenty of material to compete in for the Emmy statuette in 2027.

Now below, check out the final moments when Zende makes his decision to leave Forrester and his heartbreaking goodbye with Eric.

So, what did you think of Delon de Metz’s performance on today’s all-new episode of The Bold and the Beautiful? Do you think Ridge and Eric have been dreadful to the family employees? Glad to see Zende go to Logan? Let us know via the the comment section.
