What Happened Previously on B&B

Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) wants to run Forrester with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye). She believes that as married co-CEOs, they would be a more powerful and influential force than he and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).

Ridge listened as she detailed what this dynamic could look like. He didn’t dispute that they’d work well together, he agreed. But he’s concerned about displacing his daughter. She’s excelling in the position, and he loves working beside her.

Steffy and Ridge are open with each other personally and in business. A decision to have her step down would greatly impact their relationship. Brooke believes Steffy would eventually get over it, but Ridge isn’t so sure.

With her mom fighting to be co-CEO, Hope (Annika Noelle) turned down Liam’s (Scott Clifton) offer to come to Logan. She was flattered by her husband’s pitch, but she thinks Brooke can persuade Ridge. She told Liam that if her mother were leading the company, she could stay. Hope thinks Brooke would reverse the decision to bench her line.

She was worried that jumping ship to work with her aunt Katie (Heather Tom) would deepen the rift between the Logans. But a co-CEO change would keep her from making that choice. Still, Hope asked Liam to leave the Logan escape hatch open just in case. She’s hopeful Steffy will soon no longer be co-CEO, and HFTF will start production, but she’s keeping her options on the table.
