The Bold And The Beautiful Recap – Taylor Hayes Update

Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) are at Forrester Creations talking about Taylor Hayes’ (Rebecca Budig) condition.

Steffy forgives Ridge, but only because Taylor isn’t dying. Plus, Ridge stepped up for Steffy’s mom. Steffy brings up the chakra healing poses.

Steffy wonders what Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) thought when she saw TRIDGE twisted in that position. Ridge says he had Brooke try it out and she was a happy lady.

Steffy says, “Ewww, dad!” Brooke walks in and wonders what Steffy and Ridge are talking about. 

Carter rushes in and grabs messages from Pamela Douglas’ (Alley Mills) desk. Carter freezes when he sees a head shot of Hope on the desk.

Carter slowly picks it up and flashes back to a conversation with Hope, then kissing her. Carter comes back to reality and smiles to himself.

In Hope’s office, she is frantically trying to find something. Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) is trying to help her. Hope gives up and says it doesn’t matter anyway.

Hope thinks the only reason Steffy is calling this meeting is to threaten HFTF again. Hope tells a speechless Liam that she is exhausted from all of it.

Liam offers to take Beth Spencer (Jordyn Lynn Ariza) for the night. Hope seems relieved and grateful. Carter walks in.

Carter didn’t realize Liam was there. Again.

B&B Recap – Will Spencer Confesses

Will is at Bill’s house. Bill is there for him, what does Will want to talk about? Will has news, but Bill isn’t going to like it. Bill arches his eyebrows up sharply.

Will wants Bill to promise not to flip out. Bill promises. Will brings up he got an internship. Bill gets super excited, assuming it’s with Spencer Publications.

When Will says it’s not with Spencer Publications, Bill starts freaking out. Then, he takes a deep breath and calls Will “Barbie Independent.”

Will finally says the internship is at Forrester Creations.

Brooke is relieved Taylor is going to be okay. Steffy snarks back, “Thanks to my dad.” Brooke adds that the doctors probably helped with Taylor’s recovery, too.

Ridge gets up before any more comebacks can be fired. Suddenly, Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz) and RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) come in.

Zende feels that HFTF is on the upswing. Steffy’s smile fades as she firmly presses her lips together. Steffy says they will find out soon enough. 

The Bold And The Beautiful Recap – Carter Walton’s Advocacy

The Bold and the Beautiful recap for Thursday, October 17 reveals that  Carter reminds Hope about the meeting. Liam says Hope is stressing about the meeting.

Carter offers LOPE time alone. Hope quickly says NO! Liam makes awkward small talk, then says Carter’s gonna take care of Hope.

Liam is referring to the meeting, but Carter smiles as he tells Hope, “You can count on it.” 

Will explains about school and the internship. Bill will sign any forms Will needs for the school transfer, but he will not approve of Forrester Creations.

Will says he just needs a little experience. They bicker about Will’s internship. Bill says no son of his will fetch coffee for dressmakers.

Bill assumes Will doesn’t want to disappoint Katie Logan (Heather Tom). Will says sure, but there’s an even bigger reason.

Will says Spencer Publications is interesting and all, but the girls at Forrester Creation are OUTRAGEOUS! Bill asks Will if he took the internship for girls and not because he wants to make dresses. Bill can’t believe this betrayal.

Then, laughs at the girl situation. When Will is ready for a real internship, then come see him for a real job.

Hope and Carter are alone in the office. Hope mentions Liam is taking Beth for the night. Carter and Hope get ready to join the others for the meeting. Carter reminds Hope that he has her back.

Will brings up having a guys night with Bill. Then, talk turns to Katie. Will misses Katie and isn’t giving up. Will says Bill left Katie for her sister multiple times.

The Bold and the Beautiful Recap – Thursday, October 17, 2024

Brooke’s Bedroom continues to exceed projections. Steffy asks Katie to do more research on celebrity tie-in’s. Zende has been working with Hope on some new ideas.

Steffy doesn’t care about any of this. Once again, Steffy asks, “Okay, so… what are the numbers?” Carter says sales have fallen, but there are other factors to take into consideration.

Carter brings up market shares and brand engagement. RJ says there is growing interest as there have been calls about potential interviews. 

Carter brings up that Brooke’s Bedroom is so successful because Ridge threw all his support behind it. Steffy frowns.

Ridge brings up Eric. Carter asks if Eric is coming back to the office, is he going to weigh in on this meeting? Ridge says he and Steffy are running Forrester Creations now.

Steffy adds that they make tough decisions, but those decisions are for the best of the company. Steffy wants data. Hope would like to say something first.

Steffy dismisses Hope and asks about sales commitments. Hope brings up Carter’s projections. Steffy says projections are just guesses.

Steffy demands the numbers. 

Carter says HFTF isn’t where they need to be yet, but … Steffy cuts off Carter before he can say much else. Brooke interjects that Steffy needs to let Carter finish talking.

Zende jumps in and tells Steffy that Carter said we aren’t there yet, but we are headed there. Hope mentions that they aren’t taking any losses.

Steffy says but the line doesn’t have any gains either. Carter says that the reason Brooke’s Bedroom does so well is because the company threw every single resource at it.

Carter reasons if the company threw just ¼ of those resources toward HFTF, it would have similar results as Brooke’s Bedroom. Carter thinks this would be more effective than just giving the line more time.

Liam interrogates Bill and Will. They aren’t talking. Bill says Will suggested a guy’s night. Liam isn’t invited.

As the guys joke around, Bill says Will would make a great addition to Spencer Publications “one day.” Liam brings up Hope.

Everyone but Steffy believes in Hope For the Future. Steffy wants numbers for this and numbers for that. When Carter says “steady numbers,” Steffy counters “flattened sales.”

Hope wants support, just like Brooke’s Bedroom got. Ridge says throwing money at an underperforming line is risky. Carter says if he were looking at balance sheets, that would make sense.

But, “I’m looking at this woman right here, Hope’s a beacon of light at Forrester Creations.” Carter brings up all of Hope’s positive traits.

Carter says you can’t put a price tag on that kind of uplifting social impact. 

Carter says supporting HFTF would make more fiscal sense than losing it. Ridge asks for an explanation. Carter says that HFTF is Forrester’s “most meaningful” line.

Carter says that Hope’s line has already earned integrity. Carter says, “Her line has a solid foundation, a powerful leader, and an exciting new design team.

All it needs now is the biggest spotlight we can give it!” Wow, Carter’s super passionate.
