The Bold and the Beautiful delivered another pulse-pounding episode on December 27, leaving fans with a major cliffhanger. While the usual twists and turns kept viewers on the edge of their seats, one key figure was notably absent from the action—Brooke Logan. Forrester Creations’ new CEO was nowhere to be found, raising serious questions about her commitment to her new role.
Brooke’s First Day as CEO Takes a Dark Turn
Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) had big shoes to fill when she took on the CEO position at Forrester Creations, but her first day didn’t go as planned. Rather than stepping into her new role with confidence, Brooke was noticeably absent from a crucial meeting. Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle) had a big discussion about launching a potential fragrance line, but they were missing the one person who could have made the decision a success—Brooke.
Given her success with launching the Belief brand, Brooke was the natural choice to lead the fragrance venture. But instead of attending the meeting, she was nowhere to be found. The tension was palpable as Carter and Hope discussed the future of Forrester without her. Was Brooke abandoning her new responsibilities before even getting started?
A CEO in Crisis: Is Brooke Ready to Lead?
Brooke’s absence was a stark reminder of the emotional turmoil she’s been dealing with. Still reeling from her complicated relationship with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Brooke couldn’t shake the “Ridge-itis” that had taken hold of her. Even though she witnessed him with Taylor (Rebecca Budig) over the holidays, her heart still longed for him. The aftermath of this emotional whirlwind seemed to cloud her judgment, leaving Brooke feeling uncertain about her decision to take the top job at Forrester.
In fact, it looks like Brooke is already questioning whether she made a mistake in accepting the CEO position. Despite her long-time success at Forrester, the weight of her personal life might be making her feel inadequate in her new professional role. She might even be contemplating quitting before she truly begins.
A Missed Opportunity and the Road Ahead
The stakes are high at Forrester, and Brooke’s hesitation to show up and take charge sends a clear message: something is seriously off. Carter and Hope are already moving forward with big decisions without her guidance, making it clear that Brooke’s first mistake as CEO may be her failure to lead from the start.
As Hope and Carter plot their new fragrance line, Brooke should be focused on steering the company in the right direction. Instead, she seems distracted by her unresolved issues with Ridge, leaving Forrester vulnerable to missteps. Meanwhile, Hope, who should be focused on rebuilding her own line, Hope for the Future, is veering off track, distracted by a perfume project that could easily be a distraction from her true goals.
Brooke’s Next Move: Redemption or Retreat?
Brooke now finds herself at a crossroads—will she rise to the occasion and prove she’s the leader Forrester needs, or will she let her personal heartbreak derail her professional ambitions? The road ahead is uncertain, but one thing is clear: Forrester Creations is off to a bumpy start in 2025, and Brooke’s choices will have lasting consequences for the company—and for her family.
The question on every viewer’s mind: Will Brooke step up or walk away? The next episode promises even more drama as Brooke grapples with the weight of her decisions and Forrester’s future hangs in the balance. Stay tuned!
