Daring and the Lovely places Katie Logan (Heather Tom) formally out at Forrester Creations. She walked away and is thrilled to be beginning her personal trend home. However will she wind up recruiting individuals away from Forrester Creations?
We’re going to speak about how Katie could snag some FC workers and ruffle Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye)’s feathers. Plus, this plot could convey again a recast RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) to assist fill the gaps. However first, please hit subscribe should you’re not already following us.
So, we’ve received Katie raring to go on her trend home whereas Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) is form of raining on her parade whereas nonetheless saying she’s supporting her. Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) this week is making an attempt to mediate what could be rising beef between her sisters. In the long run, Katie could pilfer some FC workers who’re ripe for the plucking.
Recently, as you realize, Ridge and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wooden) are rubbing some workers the mistaken method. Some household, too. These individuals could soar on the likelihood to go work for a competing trend home, particularly since anyone that walks away is anyone who possible is aware of and loves Katie, who will not be as high-handed because the Forresters.
Hope Logan’s Rising Discontent at Forrester Creations on Daring and the Lovely
Let’s begin with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle), who could have already got one foot out the door emotionally as a result of she was simply compelled to fireplace her brother, Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone). Plus, Hope is feeling actually pressured and has been instructed she has to work with Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz) once more.
Zende is one factor. However Thomas, he’s fairly one other. I do know lots of people suppose Hope continues to be into Thomas. And had been speaking about how she was watching him with lust in her eyes this week. That’s not the vibe I received. I’ll simply say that I’m getting that Hope is feeling caught and with out choices.
And she or he’s making an attempt to be well mannered whereas determining methods to cease the ball that’s rolling over her. Steffy flat out instructed Hope that her points with Thomas shouldn’t have any bearing on work choices. However nonetheless, Zende and Thomas additionally don’t appear to be choosing up the vibe that Hope needs for her line. She was planning on a daring new path along with her brother Deke.
The look on Hope’s face when she heard what Thomas and Zende had been planning was not the face of anyone who’s happy with an replace and agrees with the way in which issues are going. Plus, Steffy compelled Hope to be the one to fireplace Deke. And that broke her coronary heart to kick her brother to the curb. However Hope had no alternative.
Will Hope for the Future Depart Forrester Creations?
I additionally thought it was fascinating that Brooke was telling Ridge that Katie has no title within the trade and no expertise. Properly, you realize, she was CEO of Forrester Creations at one level. It’s been a couple of years, however nonetheless. Did Brooke overlook that? And her final title is Logan, which is a identified commodity to anyone who follows Forrester Creations. Brooke’s Bed room is a factor and other people know she’s Brooke Logan.
She’s internationally well-known. And so they know that her sister is Katie. I’m certain they know Donna too. These persons are trend celebrities, so her title is thought. Deke is upset about shedding his job. And Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) is upset for him, and it was terrible that Hope needed to hearth her brother. Then Thomas tried to reassure Hope that issues can be strictly skilled between them. However Hope appeared apprehensive.
Daring and the Lovely: Hope Pushes Again?
And you realize, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) goes to be apprehensive. So, Hope may push again. She may even give Steffy an ultimatum over firing Deacon and or being compelled to work with Thomas. Hope could ask, “Can’t I work with Deke and Zende and you set Thomas someplace else?” It doesn’t look like Hope appears like Zende and Thomas get what she needs to do now. However let’s be actual. Additionally, the Forresters are all being cocky and smug recently. Not simply Steffy and Ridge. Zende and Thomas are too.
And I do know followers have seen. I see the feedback on cleaning soap social media. But when Hope pushes again, I feel Steffy could say, “Nice. If that is what you need, we’ll simply cancel your line once more. As a result of Ridge simply instructed Hope that Hope for the Future is on shaky floor and that she wants these guys to stabilize it. So clearly it’s not thriving at Forrester Creations. However perhaps it may thrive someplace else beneath a distinct CEO at a distinct trend home.
Katie’s New Style Home: A Potential Haven for Disgruntled Staff on B&B
It’s not like Ridge or Steffy actually wished to convey Hope for the Future again. It was Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) that introduced it again when he was working issues after he and Hope pulled their little coup. After which Ridge ejected Hope from the corporate. However then they introduced her again after which ultimately they introduced the road again. However Steffy hasn’t been thrilled about that. And Ridge isn’t actually both. It’s extra like a pity factor. Not that they even really feel pity for Hope. Extra like I feel Ridge was doing it for Brooke, you realize, to make it the place it wasn’t a bone of competition.
So, I’m certain Steffy and Ridge would don’t have any downside if Hope pushes again on them onerous. After which she could flip round and stroll out. And naturally, Katie would hear about it from Donna or Brooke, the Logan Woman Gossip Grapevine. I may see Katie speaking to Hope about beginning a brand new line over at Katie Couture or no matter they’re calling her new firm, Invoice Spencer’s (Don Diamont) Blouses or whatnot. And Hope could ask if she will be able to convey Deke alongside. And Katie would most likely agree. As a result of he’s a part of the prolonged household now that the Spencers and the Logans are married into one another doubly.

May Eric Forrester Be a part of Katie’s Riot on Daring and the Lovely?
We might also see Katie scooping up Eric Forrester (John McCook), who was simply compelled into retirement by Ridge. I imply, you possibly can see the writing on the wall about that. It’d begin out with Eric providing Katie some recommendation when he hears about her trend home. As a result of Eric began up an organization when individuals stated he couldn’t do it.
So, he could begin by providing assist and mentorship to Katie as a result of Eric positively is aware of what it feels wish to be underestimated by Ridge and Brooke and others. Plus, Invoice Spencer was simply telling Katie to take Brooke abruptly along with her success and show she’s mistaken to doubt her.
So, Donna could even present Katie the brand new designs Eric was sketching. As a result of she’s so proud. I imply, it’s an entire assortment. Or Katie could be chatting with Eric and Donna and the designs are sitting out and Katie occurs to see them and goes, “Oh my goodness, these are unbelievable. They should be made. Come and make them with me.”
Then Eric could possibly be fully revitalized. It could possibly be just like the previous days with Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery), beginning one thing new. And I’m certain Donna would encourage Eric. As a result of she is aware of Ridge gained’t let him again into Forrester Creations. And if Eric can’t create and design, his high quality of life will endure.
Extra Potential Defections: Will Spencer and Ivy Forrester
Subsequent, let’s speak about Will Spencer (Crew Morrow). He’s already contemplating leaving Forrester Creations to comply with his mother over to the brand new home at Spencer. So, if his cousin Hope finally ends up going over to Katie’s new trend home. I imply, it’s no massive deal shedding a low-level staffer like Will. However extra individuals may begin strolling out. As an example, Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) could also be upset that Eric was sidelined by Ridge. She loves her uncle Eric, so she may method Katie.
Or Eric could discuss to Ivy about making an attempt one thing new and he or she winds up over there. After which Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) follows her. Clearly, I feel Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) would stick round Forrester although she doesn’t agree with Ridge. And clearly Carter would too. It’d be fairly humorous to see Steffy and Ridge getting actually ticked off if individuals began leaping ship just like the folks that supported the Hope and Carter coup.
RJ Forrester Recast Rumors: A New Face on B&B?
That could be a motive we could also be getting an RJ Forrester recast. He’s a junior designer. However nonetheless a designer. In case you haven’t seen it right here, I’ll present you. It’s a photograph from the Daring and the Lovely vacation social gathering. So, that’s John McCook and Thorsten Kaye with this younger man between them. His title is Brayan Nicoletti. Followers are questioning if he could be an RJ recast as a result of he’s posing with the actors who could be his on-screen dad and granddad.
Now, let me say very clearly, nobody is aware of besides Daring and the Lovely if this younger man, Brayan Nicoletti has been solid on the cleaning soap. Okay? There’s been zero mentions or confirmations. However he was on the solid and crew social gathering. Nonetheless, he might not be the brand new RJ and might not be solid on the present in any respect. He could be there and was simply anyone’s date and Brayan posed with Thorsten and John for a photograph as a result of his mother or grandma is a fan of the present.
Daring and the Lovely: Hope for 2026
I simply need to make it completely clear. We’re not saying Brayan Nicoletti has been solid on Daring and anyone saying that’s speculating. It has not been revealed, confirmed, any of that. But when he’s coming, it appears possible that he could possibly be the brand new RJ simply based mostly on the look and who he was posing with. If he has been solid on the CBS cleaning soap, you realize, I’ll say hiring a brand new RJ as an alternative of getting Thomas come again on contract, that’s not on my want record for 2026. And I don’t suppose it’s transfer. However, you realize, we now have Brad Bell, so we get what we get whether or not we pitch a match or not.
