In the May 14 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy already figured out the meaning behind Ridge’s shocking idea. He suggested that Brooke should run Forrester Creations alongside him. Steffy had a feeling that Hope was behind it.
Key Takeaways
- Steffy doesn’t deny Brooke’s impact on the company.
- Steffy noted that most of Brooke’s contributions occurred years ago.
- She wondered if Hope was the real reason behind Brooke’s drive to be co-CEO.
Steffy Reads Through the Lines
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was insulted by Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) request that Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) replace her as co-CEO of Forrester Creations. She begged her father not to give his wife her job.
This news came as a shock to Steffy. Her father never complained about her work. Ridge assured her that he was proud of her contributions. Steffy immediately read through the lines of Brooke’s sudden desire to be co-CEO and noticed that a disgruntled daughter was behind it.
She believed that Hope (Annika Noelle) had something to do with Brooke’s sudden motivation. Hope was disappointed that her line had been pushed back again. Hope has demanded that Steffy provide her with a timeline for the relaunch, and Steffy has refused to give her the answer she wants.
Is Brooke Past Her Prime?
Steffy made an interesting point in her conversation with Ridge. She couldn’t deny that Brooke was a fashion icon. She acknowledged Brooke’s contributions to the company.
But many of the contributions she made were years ago. Steffy brought up the time when Brooke discovered the BeLief formula and created Brooke’s Bedroom, which happened in the ’90s. Steffy suggested giving Brooke a new title or a raise.
But this office belonged to them. She assured her father that they are and would always be co-CEOs. This put Ridge in a difficult position.
Will Ridge Choose the Fairytale or His Family?
Steffy put her foot down. She told her father that he couldn’t replace her with Brooke. They were already the perfect team, meant to work together at Forrester Creations.
However, Ridge could envision himself running the company alongside his wife. They could become a power couple in the industry if he gave Brooke the co-CEO position. This role would honor Brooke’s legacy and take them to new heights.
Steffy noted that Ridge should stop thinking about the fairytale and should start thinking about his family. She doesn’t want Brooke to get in the middle again. What will he do?
