Another One Bites the Forrester Dust: The Bold and the Beautiful Two Scoops For the Week of October 12th

And then there was...one? Does The Bold and the Beautiful's Forrester Creations really just have one designer left and his name is...RJ? (And we guess maybe Thomas, in Rome.) Yes, RJ. The man who could barely pick up a design pencil in 2023 is now going to design the line that is supposed to save the fashion house. Good luck, Forresters, because even your co-CEO and COO just do not care anymore.

That Was Fast

We admit that when Katie predicted that Eric and Ridge would let Zende down again, we thought it would take a few weeks. We didn't expect that moment to take place after the commercial break. But Ridge will be Ridge and apparently Eric will be Eric. And Electra? Well, she deserves a section unto herself.

We're surprised FC's HR department is not fielding lawsuit after lawsuit after the way the family handles human resource matters. Ridge was disgustingly nasty and dismissive with Dylan when he told her to pack her things and get out of there because she was fired. And he never would have fired her if Electra hadn't stomped her feet and whined.

Zende didn't stomp his feet. Instead, he put his foot down and it did no good. After Eric's big speech about Zende being respected and having a say in how things were handled at FC, his opinion and feelings were immediately brushed aside. Just like when Katie asked Eric to clarify that he came to her looking for a job, Eric just stayed silent and allowed Ridge to ignore Zende and fire Dylan. While Electra and RJ stood there all smug, as expected.

It was both a sad and glorious moment when Zende had finally had it and declared he was done with having to deal with frick and frack (aka RJ and Electra). Eric tried to chase him out while Ridge brushed him off and figured Zende just needed time to cool down.

Arrogant and clueless as ever, Ridge has no idea why everyone keeps leaving. Eric may have come back, but we don't see that happening for Hope and Zende — and with good reason.

About Electra

We can assume by now that B&B has decided that Electra is indeed the villain. We are well aware that was never the intention, but a monster has been born and a monster will flourish. We have been saying that the show should just go for broke with Electra all year. That sniveling, whiny, entitled little brat is perfect vixen material, so we are glad she can finally be herself, in all her Little Miss Priss glory.

Happy Now, Katie?

We have been of two minds about Katie for months. We love the Katie who can stand on her own two feet and stand up to Brooke. We got to watch a repeat of that again this week, where nothing new was said.

However, we are not happy with the Katie who thinks Dylan is Brooke, when she is anything but. Nothing seems to satisfy Katie when it comes to Dylan. It doesn't matter how honest she is and that she got them Zende, as asked. Maybe it's time for Zende to teach Katie who Electra really is. He is much more objective than Will or Dylan.

Smile For the One Who Loves You

If Zende gives Katie the deets on Electra, then maybe she'll stop giving Will such a hard time and be happy for him because we are. After all he had been through with Luna and all of Electra's constant abuse, Will is finally happy. He has a big, bright smile on his face and it's all because of Dylan.

Will said those three little words this week and a new soap supercouple was born. Will and Dylan just sparkle together. While they may not have been the intended pairing, they are the one that works. When a soap is able to see what works and doesn't try to force pairs down our throats just because that pairing was the original intention, then the soap is doing its job right.

Steffy's Back

We had a full week without Steffy's look of terror and Carter's constant bullying. That's right, Steffy and Carter were back at the scene of the crime, not even acknowledging that FC had just lost its top designer. They couldn't think about work at work. They could only think about the baby Steffy was planning to hand to Carter and Daphne.

But that baby was made from two people who needed each other when the chips were down, so it's all good. And that's because Steffy is now justifying her drunk romp with Carter on Granddad's office couch. Anything to make herself feel better.

Poor, poor Finn. The man is still as baffled as ever about why his wife seems to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown at all times since the moment they got back from Monaco. When he learns the truth, it will be the first time he's ever been furious with Steffy and good. He still has no idea about all the things he has needed to be furious about.

All Steffy has done since the day they married was demand things of him, put her foot down, and tell him how to feel. And he has done nothing but listen. Let's not forget that Finn still doesn't know about the kisses with Liam three years ago. Read her for filth for this, Finn.
