On Wednesday, December 3, 2025, The Bold and the Beautiful, Bill made a surprise appearance at Forrester Creations. He went toe-to-toe with Ridge about Katie’s position. However, it could land her in hot water.
Key Takeaways
- Bill thinks Ridge should appreciate Katie more.
- He showed up at FC to speak his mind … on her behalf.
- Katie appreciated Bill’s effort, but not his heated conversation with Ridge.
Dollar Bill Shows Up At FC Headquarters
Bill (Don Diamont) channeled his Dollar Bill energy on today’s episode. But he acted more like a bull in a glass shop. He had a bone to pick with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), especially after he shot down Katie’s (Heather Tom, who is Soap Hub‘s November performer) pitch.
Bill felt bullish about Katie. He remarked about how unappreciated she is at Forrester. Katie admitted that it has been frustrating lately. Bill brought up the idea of her leaving Forrester again, to which she refused to address.
Ridge was annoyed upon learning that Bill was in the building. He also didn’t like hearing that Katie went back to him. Donna (Jennifer Gareis), Eric (John McCook), and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) told Ridge to let it go, but he couldn’t.
Ridge went to see why Bill was there. Bill said it was time for him to defend Katie’s honor. He told Ridge that he’s penalizing Katie by insulting her intelligence. Ridge told Bill it was none of his business what was going on at their company.
He wanted to hear it from Katie’s mouth. She admitted that she had felt undervalued lately. Ridge made it clear that Katie is always valued at their company. After speaking his peace, he asked Bill to leave.
What Does Katie Want?
Back at Spencer Publications, Bill continued ranting about Ridge. Katie reminded him that being this upset won’t help matters. She wondered if this move was about her or about him.
Bill apologized to Katie for overstepping his boundaries. Then, he asked Katie what she wanted. Does she want to stay at Forrester? Or does she want to leave for Spencer?
Katie ignored Bill’s question and said that she doesn’t need him to fight her battles. Ridge was right. Bill turned Forrester into a battlefield with his rants. It’s a fashion house, not a battlehouse. Bill knows that she can handle it herself, but he’ll always be there for her.
Bill feels guilty for not fighting for Katie in the past. He promised to bring back Dollar Bill, and that’s what he’s giving everyone. But it could backfire on Katie. She could lose her job if Bill continues to overstep her boundaries.
