What Happened In Los Angeles
Check out the daily summary recap of each episode below.
Monday, December 9, 2024
Luna (Lisa Yamada) took full advantage of Bill (Don Diamont) showing up to see her and dove right into trying to manipulate him. She whined, she cried, and she reminded him of all those times he said they were just oh so alike. She begged him to help get her out of the prison.
Over at the office, the Forresters were still in shock that Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) stole the company. Unfortunately, there wasn’t anything Justin (Aaron D. Spears) could to to reverse the takeover…and Carter wasn’t giving an inch. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes), Eric (John McCook), and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) tried to reason with him, but Carter stood his ground. The only thing Ridge could think to do was give him one last chance to make things right.
At the same time, Hope (Annika Noelle) went toe-to-toe with her mother over the whole mess. She was backing her man 100%. Carter deserves his top spot, even if he had to be sneaky to get it. And now, she and Carter can carry out their grand plans for the company.
Meanwhile, down in the storage room, we got a good glimpse of the crate the Hope Mannequin lives in, and Zende (Delon de Metz) and Will (Crew Morrow) discussed the goings-on. They were worried about what Justin’s presence meant and what was going on in the main office.

Meanwhile, at the cabin, Hope and Brook condemned Carter’s actions as a betrayal, but Hope defended him, framing his actions as a necessary stand against the Forresters’ treatment of others. Hope acknowledged mistakes in their approach but remained steadfast in her support for Carter, declaring her love and commitment to standing by him.
At the jail, Luna (Lisa Yamada) confided in Bill (Don Diamont) about her troubled past and the emotional turmoil leading to her current situation. She pleaded for his forgiveness and understanding, believing they shared a bond due to their mutual experiences of abandonment and hardship. Despite his reservations, Bill expressed a degree of empathy, though he stopped short of fully endorsing her actions.

All the while, Brooke urged Ridge to temper his emotions, defending her daughter against his accusations. She acknowledged Carter’s betrayal but argued for a calmer, solution-oriented approach to the crisis. Ridge, however, remained adamant that Hope was to blame for the upheaval.
