The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for September 24 tease Katie is looking to expand her fashion brand once again. The Logan CEO has no interest in resting on her laurels. That’s a good thing since R.J. and Zende are finally getting to work on Forrester’s new line centered on Electra.
Key Takeaways
- Why Katie is ready to find her next hit.
- How R.J. and Zende collaborate.
Katie Wants to Prove the Forresters Wrong
With Hope by Logan in the rearview, Katie (Heather Tom—She’s pitching a YA adaptation!) has to keep the momentum going for her fashion house. The successful launch of the line brought the kind of attention she wanted. Hope (Annika Noelle) and Deke (Harrison Cone) are now integral to her company. But the Forresters still think Katie is nothing but a flash in the pan.
Buzz and a genuine admiration for her brand are what’s keeping Logan afloat. Staying power, however, isn’t something Katie’s fully cultivated yet, with only two collections under her belt. Logan has womenswear, jewelry, and perfume. Katie’s desire to add a new addition to the mix is meant to show that she can keep her company fresh and exciting.
R.J. and Zende Bump Heads at Forrester
R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti) and Zende (Delon de Metz) haven’t been the best co-workers. While working on Eric’s (John McCook) recent collection, they clashed when it came to the bottom line. Like his grandfather, R.J. lets beauty guide his vision without considering the cost of the fabrics he wants to use. Having worked on Hope for the Future, a sustainable fashion line, Zende is more frugal.
The cousins also tend not to see eye-to-eye on direction, and Zende thinks R.J.’s contributions are overpraised. To Zende, R.J. being Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) son gives him a leg up at Forrester. He tolerated that perception with Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) because he’s older and more experienced in the industry. It’s been a harder pill to swallow with R.J. because he’s Zende’s junior, and he lacks formal training as a designer.
