The Bold and the Beautiful teased the possibility of a sibling rivalry that could heat up in 2026. Katie has a new fashion house, and it could tear apart core families.
Key Takeaways
- Bill gifted Katie a fashion house after they got married.
- She’s leaving Forrester Creations for Spencer Publications.
- Brooke threw shade at Katie’s new opportunity.
- Deke just got fired as the lead designer of Hope for the Future.
Brooke’s Shock Over Katie’s New Venture
Recently, Katie (Heather Tom) informed Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) about her new fashion house. Her sister was shocked, but said she was proud of her. However, her face tells a different story.
She looked concerned…or jealous. Will Brooke get jealous of Katie’s fashion house? Brooke was also unsure whether Katie’s fashion house would succeed. She told Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that her sister doesn’t have a household name.
However, Katie is determined to put in the work. She knows that she has the backing of Dollar Bill (Don Diamont). What more could you need? But Brooke feels that Katie won’t be able to make it on her own.
She argued that it took Forrester Creations years to establish itself in the fashion industry, but she could end up wanting some of that success for herself. After all, Ridge has never given Brooke her own fashion house, and it’s unlikely that he ever will.
Deke Gets Fired From Forrester Creations
Meanwhile, Hope (Annika Noelle) had to fire Deke (Harrison Cone) from Forrester Creations. He was replaced by Thomas (Matthew Atkinson), who wants to return as the lead designer of Hope for the Future.
This wasn’t Hope’s idea. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Ridge were the ones who made the final call. She had to go along with it, and is willing to get along with Thomas in order to have a successful line.
Deke could end up at Katie’s new fashion house instead. He might want to prove himself with his own couture collection inspired by his older sister or his love for urban chic. Meanwhile, Hope will continue to work with Thomas despite their complicated past.
She could get jealous that Deke’s getting more attention for his fashion line. Spencer will have something that Forrester lacks — young, aspiring talent who can offer a fresh take on the current fashion landscape.
Sibling Rivalry Heats Up in 2026
It’s unlikely that Hope will walk away from a collaboration with Thomas and Zende (Delon De Metz). After all, she wants her line to be a hit, even though that means she can’t work with her brother anymore.
Her close-knit relationship with Thomas could cause her to butt heads with Deke, who could jump onto a competing fashion house. Their fashion wars will be translated onto the runway.
In the meantime, Brooke will watch Katie’s fashion house turn into an empire from the sidelines, and she might crave some of that success for herself.
