The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Steffy Forrester No Longer Trusts Carter Walton

Carter’s unwavering support for Hope Logan’s (Annika Noelle) struggling line is starting to raise eyebrows for Steffy.

Her concerns will deepen when Carter announces that he has arranged for Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) and Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) to pitch a jewelry line.

Steffy will perceive this as Carter overreaching and making questionable decisions for the company, based on emotion instead of profit potential.

Typically focused on the numbers, Carter will seem to Steffy to be disregarding their financial health and making choices without solid proof of profitability. Following Steffy’s unfavorable response to Ivy and Electra’s jewelry proposals, Carter will explode in frustration.

Carter will have a meltdown at the office, expressing his frustration over Steffy not fully committing to this line; when Steffy witnesses Carter’s outburst, she will be caught off guard.

Confused by Carter’s sudden emotional reaction, she will seek solace in a conversation with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye); this situation will lead Steffy to question Carter’s competence in his role.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Steffy Forrester Could Get Overruled In Trying To Fire Carter Walton

Carter is in for a rough time in the upcoming episodes, as Steffy is unlikely to approve of anything he does, already prejudiced by his uncharacteristic blowup.

If this trend continues, she might even consider letting him go, especially when she discovers his growing connection with Hope-she’ll be heavily influenced by that. This revelation could really irritate Steffy and reinforce her belief that Carter has completely lost his grip!

However, the decision about Carter’s future at the company may not be solely in Steffy’s hands; Ridge, who views Carter as a close friend, might see firing him as an overreaction.

Eric Forrester (John McCook) could share this sentiment and step in to defend Carter’s position at Forrester Creations.
