B&B Spoilers: After Trying to Steal Spencer Publications, Could Justin Target Forrester Creations Next?

As Ridge Forrester turns to Justin Barber for help with the brewing Forrester Creations crisis, a look back at Justin’s shocking history raises serious questions about this risky alliance.

A History of Corporate Betrayal

The similarities between past and present are striking. When Bill Spencer was behind bars, Justin – his trusted right-hand man of over 25 years – orchestrated one of the most shocking betrayals in B&B history. Rather than protecting Spencer Publications for his longtime friend, Justin attempted an audacious corporate takeover. He even went so far as to hold Thomas Forrester hostage to keep his power grab under wraps.

Ridge’s Desperate Gamble

Now, Ridge finds himself in a precarious position. After Brooke Logan exposed Carter Walton and Hope Logan’s apparent scheme to seize control of Forrester Creations through LLC manipulation, Ridge is seeking reinforcements. His choice? The very same Justin Barber who once tried to steal an entire company from his closest friend.

Warning Signs

The situation at Forrester Creations bears unsettling parallels to the Spencer Publications crisis. Justin, who has openly admitted his love for “a good corporate takeover,” now has potential access to sensitive Forrester information during a vulnerable period. While he may feel indebted to the Forresters for their leniency after the Thomas incident, history shows how quickly Justin can turn when power is at stake.

Complicated Loyalties

Making matters more complex is Justin’s recently mended relationship with Bill Spencer. With whispers of Bill potentially entering the fashion industry, Justin’s position inside Forrester Creations could prove particularly valuable to his former boss. The question isn’t just about Justin’s loyalty to Ridge – it’s about his possible motivations for maintaining access to Forrester’s inner workings.

A Reformed Character?

Despite Justin’s promises to help Ridge navigate the LLC drama Carter set in motion, his track record speaks volumes. Someone who betrayed a 25-year friendship when opportunity knocked might find an even shorter relationship with Ridge easier to discard. Though Ridge is offering substantial compensation for Justin’s assistance, similar incentives didn’t prevent his betrayal of Bill.

High Stakes at Play

As Steffy Forrester and Ridge struggle to maintain control of their family legacy, Justin’s involvement could prove decisive – but in which direction? His legal expertise might be exactly what’s needed to block Carter’s takeover attempt. Or his presence could mark the beginning of another corporate coup.

Will Justin prove himself reformed by saving Forrester Creations, or will this be another calculated power grab? As the drama unfolds, one thing is clear: bringing Justin Barber into this crisis is either Ridge’s shrewdest move or his most dangerous miscalculation yet.
