Katie’s past as the CEO of Forrester Creations was brought up on The Bold and the Beautiful. She’s disappointed about the latest changes made to her job. She wasn’t cut back, but she’s not being heard when it comes to handling the situation involving Luna’s death.
Key Takeaways
- Katie feels undervalued and underappreciated at work.
- Ridge hired a crisis management team to handle the news of Luna’s death.
- Despite Katie’s PR background, she can’t clean up this mess since she’s too close to the Luna situation.
- Her past as a CEO was recently discussed in conversations.
Katie Struggles With Her Job
Katie (Heather Tom) understood the decision that Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) had to make. He hired a crisis management team while she was out to handle the news of Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) death, which had gotten out of hand. There have been so many tabloid rumors about it.
Katie was close to the situation, which means she can’t handle it like she normally handles any other PR emergency. However, she feels that she’s being undervalued at work. She told Bill (Don Diamont) that they overstepped her opinions and ideas more than once.
Bill gave her the confidence boost she needed to pitch a new idea. So, she brought it up to Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge, both of whom turned it down. Although Katie loves her job and the fashion industry, she finds herself at a crossroads. What’s also been brought up is her past as a CEO. Bill loved it when she was in control of the company, but it had a rocky start.
Katie’s Past as CEO
Many characters over the years have agreed that Katie was at her best when she was CEO of Forrester Creations. Bill would like to see her at the top of her game once again. She became CEO after she got romantically involved with Bill.
Their relationship was shocking for the soap. It was highly unlikely due to their differences. But Bill had a desire to steal Forrester Creations away from The Forresters and Logans.
She was appointed to the new role. At the time, Forrester Creations was a newly acquired division of Spencer Publications. However, Bill didn’t make his intentions clear to Katie when their relationship ended.
She felt played when she saw a video that was made by Bill’s father, asking his son to take down Eric (John McCook), Brooke, and Donna (Jennifer Gareis). Bill assured Katie that he wasn’t using her to fulfill his father’s deep-seated hatred against The Forresters.
Scandalous Shakeup
Katie was eventually replaced as the CEO of Forrester Creations. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) seduced Bill and blackmailed him into selling the company back to her family. She also created REST (Ridge, Eric, Stephanie, Taylor), which is still intact to this day.
The trust made them equal shareholders, owning 25% each of the company. Ridge was then named CEO of Forrester Creations. Despite losing out, big things could be in store for Katie’s future. Will she join Bill at Spencer Publications?
