What Happened Previously on B&B
Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie (Heather Tom) married after Bill surprised her with an unexpected proposal. Their wedding followed closely on the heels of Hope and Liam’s nuptials, and the two moved quickly to make their relationship official.
As a wedding gift, Bill handed Katie control of a fashion house. She remained at Forrester, but was recently left out of key conversations after the fallout involving Luna (Lisa Yamada). Being pushed aside clearly didn’t sit well with her.
Katie remained conflicted about whether to accept Bill’s offer. She turned to Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) for guidance, but their attempts to reassure her only added to her uncertainty.
Meanwhile, Deke (Harrison Cone) tried to steer Hope (Annika Noelle) in a different direction with Hope for the Future, but she ignored his advice. He quietly slipped some of his own designs into the mix and continued working at Forrester, though the recent upheaval left him uneasy. Deke admitted to Hope that he’s worried about what comes next for him at the company.
