Buckle up! It’s going to be a bumpy ride as Forrester Creations changes hands once again amid a shocking reveation that leaves Bold & Beautiful’s Steffy and Hope, unsurprisingly, on opposite sides of a controversy.

Ridge and Eric were as pleased as punch when Carter tore up the LLC paperwork and appeared to be handing their family business back to them. We say “appeared to be” because not everyone is so convinced. Steffy, for one, has doubts about Carter’s true intentions, per Bold & Beautiful spoilers. Might there be a catch involved?!

As we’re already aware, Carter expressed his wish to Ridge and Eric that the Hope For the Future line not be dropped from Forrester Creations, given it was experiencing some sort of upsurge. The Forrersters heard him out, but were non-committal at best, with Eric simply saying it would be foolish to get rid of a line that was performing well. But we have a feeling that Carter is going to take this “request” further somehow.

Teasers indicate that a game-changing revelation is afoot that will shift the course of the company they built. We have to assume, then, that Carter has done something irreversible that Ridge and Eric are as yet unaware of with regard to the fashion house. Perhaps he’s signed iron-clad contracts to collaborate with other companies to expand the Forrester brand that has left them leveraged to the teeth or in debt. The Forresters had no interest in Carter’s vision for the future, citing the risks, so it would be shocking to discover they now have no choice in the matter.

But we have a hunch that whatever Carter has done will hit closer to home. So bound and bent was he to put an end to the perceived inequality between the Forresters and Logans, that he may have made changes that ensure Hope and her family are protected. We’re not sure how he would be able to give them part ownership given that he has no shares to hand over, but then again, we weren’t sure how tearing up the LLC paperwork the other day would end his reign, considering he supposedly filed them.

That means anything is possible, so it’s likely that Carter has found a way to make the Forrester’s regaining their company contingent on keeping Hope For the Future and/or keeping Brooke in the CEO position. Would Steffy agree to run the firm alongside the blonde as co-CEO? It would be a hard sell, that’s for sure!

Whatever shocking revelation is ahead, it will leave Brooke and Ridge’s daughters at odds anew. Bold & Beautiful spoilers tease that Steffy and Hope will stand their ground as they square off over their opposing views regarding the game-changing reveal. Whether they’re battling over keeping Hope For the Future or dumping it, or something even more controversial, one only has to look back on Steffy and Hope’s volatile history to know it will be an explosive showdown… and all signs point to Forrester Creations being forever changed by the time all is said and done.
