B&B Spoilers & 10-29 Recap: Carter Oversteps His Role as COO – Steffy Questions His Suspicious Defense of Hope

Carter’s Questionable Behavior Raises Red Flags as Steffy Protects Forrester Legacy
Suspicious Meeting in the Design Office
Things got heated at Forrester Creations today when Carter bizarrely overstepped his role as COO, leaving many wondering if Hope’s influence has compromised his judgment. The drama kicked off in the design office when Steffy walked in on what appeared to be a suspicious conversation between Hope, Brooke, and Carter. Though they claimed to be discussing Carter’s business ideas, their quick deflection had Steffy’s CEO instincts on high alert.
Carter’s Questionable Defense
And boy, was she right to be concerned! While Hope was practically gushing over Carter’s “brilliant” ideas, Steffy – who had just discussed these plans with Ridge and Eric – couldn’t help but notice something off about their interaction. In a move that showed exactly why she’s CEO, Steffy warned Carter to be careful around Hope. Let’s face it – she’s seen this pattern before with other Forrester men!
But here’s where things get really interesting. Instead of maintaining professional boundaries, Carter jumped to Hope’s defense, insisting he “couldn’t be played.” (Um, isn’t that exactly what someone being played would say?) Meanwhile, Hope was right there backing him up, which only added fuel to Steffy’s suspicions about their increasingly cozy alliance.
Private Conversations and Promises
The plot thickened when Brooke and Carter had a private conversation in the cutting room. Carter made some pretty bold declarations about his feelings for Hope, promising to be “the kind of man she deserves” and vowing to be there “one hundred percent.” Seriously? This is the company’s COO making these intense personal promises about the head of HFTF – talk about mixing business with pleasure!
Corporate Decisions and Family Drama
While all this was going down, Ridge and Eric were having their own conversation about Carter’s ambitious plans, ultimately deciding they weren’t right for the company. But before anyone could address that, in walked Ivy and Electra, bringing their own drama to the mix. Despite Steffy’s previous rejection of their jewelry line, Ridge and Eric seemed surprisingly eager to give it another shot. (Family dynamics at Forrester just got even more complicated!)
Final Confrontation and Implications
The day’s tensions reached a boiling point when Carter returned to find Steffy warning Hope about making moves on Finn. Instead of staying in his lane as COO, Carter actually had the audacity to tell his CEO she had “no right” to use her position this way! Watching him lecture about how important the Logans are to Forrester Creations, Steffy could only smirk – she’s clearly seeing through his act.
In what might be the most telling moment of the day, Steffy pointed out that Carter’s recent behavior has been “pretty questionable.” And honestly? She’s not wrong! The way he’s positioning himself as Hope’s personal champion while going against his CEO’s legitimate concerns about both business and personal boundaries is raising some serious red flags.
The episode ended with Hope trying to warn Carter not to get involved, but he doubled down, declaring he would “always have her back.” Really, Carter? Always have her back – even against the company’s best interests? Even against your CEO’s direct concerns?
