On The Bold and the Beautiful, June 16, Carter crunched the numbers for the couture line, and it doesn’t look good for the fashion house. The couture line is now their most expensive one to date. Forrester Creations could face a financial crisis if it doesn’t plan accordingly.
Key Takeaways
- Forrester Creations unveiled the preview for the highly anticipated couture line.
- Carter found out that this line is costing them more money than any other.
- Forrester Creations could end up in the red, and the couture line could be their last for a while.
Carter Crunches the Numbers for the Couture Line
The day is finally here. The preview for Eric’s (John McCook) couture line rolled out. Eric, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti), and Zende (Delon de Metz) looked at the three designs and agreed they were beautiful.
Eric and Ridge took notes while Zende watched everyone work together. He wasn’t happy because he was being shut out of their conversations. So, he watched from a distance. R.J. said that he believed that when the couture line drops, Logan will be left in the dust.
But Carter crunched the numbers and noticed something that raised concern. He noted that this line is shaping up to be the most expensive in FC’s history. Will they be able to rebound?
Zende Makes Another Plea for HFTF
Ridge argued that they couldn’t put a price on Eric’s collection. Zende said all the resources had been poured into couture, with a hint of bitterness in his voice. This is the only line that they’re working on at the moment.
Carter made it clear that he didn’t want to start trouble. He just wanted to give them pause. Zende brought up Hope for the Future. He wanted a status on that line since they’d used up most of their money on this one. But Ridge couldn’t give him a direct answer.
On top of that, Carter’s news didn’t bode well for Hope for the Future. That means Forrester won’t be able to allocate their resources to another line. It could take them several months to work on another line, if they’re able to rebound.
Will Forrester End Up in the Red?
Nobody else wants to admit it, but Zende already knew the truth. He noticed the shift with the design team. It’s Eric, Ridge, and R.J. now. Zende missed working on Hope’s (Annika Noelle) line. His opinion was appreciated then.
Now, the energy feels different. Zende feels that he’s being pushed out of the design team because of the golden child. He realized in that moment that Forrester Creations would never give Hope for the Future the light of day. And if they do, it might be too late.
Forrester could run out of money if Eric’s line fails. Is Forrester hiding a financial crisis in plain sight? Will the couture line help them stay afloat so they can produce other fashions later?
