“There Needs to Be a Forrester in Charge!” – Zende Takes Stand Against Carter’s Power Grab

The battle for Forrester Creations reached a boiling point today when Zende Forrester threatened to walk away from his family’s legacy rather than work under non-Forrester leadership. The young designer’s world shattered as he walked in on Hope Logan and Carter Walton celebrating their corporate coup, leading to an explosive confrontation that could reshape the company’s future.

Shock and Betrayal

The drama unfolded moments after Hope had tenderly guided Carter to the CEO’s chair – a symbolic gesture marking the culmination of their takeover plot. Their intimate celebration was cut short when Zende entered, forcing them to explain multiple times that Carter now controlled the company. “You stole Forrester?” Zende exclaimed, his disbelief turning to anger as he processed the magnitude of their betrayal.

A Love Affair Goes Public

Adding fuel to the fire, Hope and Carter chose this moment to reveal their romantic relationship, explaining how their partnership had evolved beyond business. Their bold announcement left Zende reeling, as he realized their secret romance had been developing alongside their plans to seize control of his family’s company.

Family at War

Meanwhile, in another part of the building, Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan engaged in a fierce showdown over the takeover. Ridge’s fury exploded as he blamed Hope for manipulating Carter, hurling accusations that prompted Brooke to leap to her daughter’s defense. “I won’t tolerate you calling my daughter those names!” Brooke declared, highlighting how deeply this corporate war has fractured relationships.

Dangerous Developments

As the power struggle at Forrester intensified, a separate drama unfolded in the stockroom. Will Spencer confronted Remy about lurking around Electra, his protective instincts on high alert. The tension escalated when Remy retreated to his room, where he ominously began working with a deepfake generator – suggesting dark plans that could spell trouble for Electra.

Lines in the Sand

Ridge’s chilling vow to stop Hope “once and for all” set the stage for an all-out war. But it was Zende’s ultimatum that could prove most devastating for the new regime. Carter attempted to justify his actions as necessary to save the company’s legacy, but Zende’s response was clear – there needs to be a Forrester in charge, or he walks.

The Future Hangs in Balance

As news of the takeover spreads through the company, all eyes are on Zende. Will the talented designer really abandon his birthright? His potential departure could trigger an exodus of loyal employees, threatening Carter and Hope’s victory before it truly begins. With family loyalties tested and battle lines drawn, one question remains: Can Forrester Creations survive this civil war?

Stay tuned as we follow this explosive situation. Will Zende make good on his threat? Can Ridge find a way to reclaim control? And what sinister scheme is Remy plotting? The next few days at Forrester Creations promise to be nothing short of explosive.
