The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for October 13 tease that Zende issues Ridge an ultimatum as he and the family continue to discuss Zende’s place at Forrester. Meanwhile, Hope starts getting concerned about what’s next for her line at Logan.
Key Takeaways
- The crux of the problem between Zende and Ridge.
- The hurdle Hope is hoping to clear at Logan.
Zende Wants A Fair Work Environment at Forrester
One of Zende’s (Delon de Metz) issues with Forrester is that there’s clear favoritism in the workplace. He knows Eric (John McCook) wants to believe that everyone is treated equally at the fashion house. But from Zende’s experience, that hasn’t been the case. Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and his children get preferential treatment.
Zende doesn’t think Hope (Annika Noelle) got a fair shake at Forrester with Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) at the helm. He’s stated multiple times that it’s not right for HFTF to be shelved at Steffy’s direction. That’s why he understands Hope leaving. For himself, he’s been frustrated by R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti) receiving a line as soon as he’s pitched one.
If experience matters, as Zende has been told every time he’s wanted to rise in the ranks, he believes that should apply to everyone. He also doesn’t think other employees should be penalized because of a family member’s personal feelings. That’s why he goes to bat for Dylan (Sydney Bullock). He knows what happened with her, Electra (Laneya Grace), and Will (Crew Morrow), but he doesn’t think Dylan’s job should be in jeopardy because of how Electra feels.
Hope Needs Zende for Her Second Logan Collection
Though Hope by Logan’s launch was a smash hit, Deke (Harrison Cone) has already signaled that he needs help on its second outing. He’s green, and he doesn’t think he can effectively carry forward another collection without having a design partner. Hope wants to give her brother what he needs, and she thinks Zende is the best person to join them on the line.
Hope and Zende worked closely together on the collection that Forrester shelved. Like Zende, she was very proud of it, and they grew closer as they fought to bring their vision to life. She wants to fix the rift she created when she left for Logan without telling him. But she also needs Zende’s experience to level up her brand.
