HOPE AND CARTER’S WAR OVER FORRESTER ERUPTS INTO CHAOS

BITTER BETRAYAL TURNS LOVERS INTO ENEMIES

The fashion world can’t stop talking about the vicious power struggle that’s blown up at Forrester Creations. What began as Hope Logan and Carter Walton’s passionate alliance has crashed and burned spectacularly. Carter’s sudden change of heart about their takeover has sparked a fury in Hope that nobody saw coming.

CARTER SHOCKS EVERYONE WITH CHANGE OF HEART

Just weeks after they seized control of Forrester Creations, Carter dropped a bombshell. He wants out. He’s ready to return the company to the Forrester family, with his conscience about betraying Ridge Forrester finally winning out over his loyalty to Hope. But he clearly underestimated how Hope would react to his betrayal.

“It was like watching a volcano erupt,” whispered one Forrester insider who witnessed the confrontation in the CEO’s office. “Hope completely lost it, screaming that she’d destroy him if he dared back out now.”

Things got so heated that security had to step in after Hope hurled a glass of water in Carter’s face and lunged at him across the desk. Staff members stood frozen in shock as the once-sweet designer transformed before their eyes.

“I’ve worked here for fifteen years and never seen anything like it,” one employee confided. “Hope’s not even the same person anymore. It’s like power flipped some switch inside her, and now she’s terrifying everyone.”

DAPHNE STIRS THE POT

Adding fuel to this raging fire? Hope caught Daphne Rose locking lips with Carter last week. The jealousy has turned Hope’s sense of betrayal into something even more dangerous.

She’s already confronted Daphne with threats that eerily mirror what Steffy Forrester once said to her about staying away from Finn. The irony isn’t lost on anyone witnessing this bizarre role reversal.

Just yesterday, Hope publicly accused Daphne of manipulating Carter to destroy their takeover plans. While Daphne kept her cool, Hope’s increasingly unhinged behavior left jaws on the floor throughout the design department.

“She pointed her finger in Daphne’s face and practically spat the words ‘stay away from my man’ before knocking over a mannequin on her way out,” revealed a stunned intern. “We’re all walking on eggshells now.”

WHEN POWER CORRUPTS

Take away the takeover scheme, and what’s left of Hope and Carter’s relationship? Not much, apparently. Their connection was built entirely on shared ambition, and now that Carter wants out, the romance has nothing left to stand on.

“Hope completely lost it during their last fight,” revealed an executive who overheard the blowup. “She told Carter he was nothing before she came along, that she made him who he is. Then she threatened to make sure he never works in fashion again if he betrays her.”

She’s not just making threats either. Sources confirm Hope has already changed security codes, blocked Carter’s access to company files, and begun turning board members against him in a frantic scramble to hold onto power.

FINN’S BOMBSHELL PATERNITY SECRET

While Hope and Carter tear each other apart at Forrester, a different bombshell is about to rock Los Angeles. Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan is finally revealing he’s Luna Nozawa’s biological father.

This shocker stems from a decades-old affair between Finn and Poppy Nozawa when he was just 18. Nobody knew about this secret—not Steffy, not Li, nobody.

For Luna, who’s spent years desperate to know her father’s identity, this revelation changes everything. She’s currently under house arrest at Bill Spencer’s mansion rather than prison, making this family reunion both possible and incredibly complicated.

“Luna’s always wanted to know who her father is,” shared someone close to the situation. “But finding out it’s the husband of the woman she kidnapped and nearly killed? Talk about awkward family reunions!”

STEFFY’S WORLD READY TO IMPLODE

Just imagine Steffy Forrester’s reaction when she discovers her husband fathered her would-be killer. Add the shocking twist that Luna isn’t even in prison but living in luxury at Bill’s mansion, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for marital destruction.

Steffy hasn’t even begun to forgive Luna for kidnapping her and leaving her for dead. Learning that her husband shares DNA with the woman who terrorized her could be the final nail in their marriage’s coffin.

“SINN fans should brace themselves,” warned someone close to the couple. “How do you come back from ‘Hey honey, that psycho who tried to kill you? Yeah, she’s actually my daughter’? You don’t.”

BILL’S SECRET SCHEME UNRAVELS

Bill Spencer’s plan to harbor Luna at his mansion is falling apart now that Finn has discovered his daughter isn’t where she’s supposed to be. The unusual connection Bill has developed with Luna despite her criminal past makes this discovery even more problematic.

When Finn showed up at the prison looking for Luna only to learn she wasn’t there, alarm bells started ringing. Now that he knows where his daughter really is, Bill’s secret arrangement faces exposure on multiple fronts.

“It’s just a matter of time before Steffy finds out,” predicted an insider close to the family. “And when she learns that Bill has been protecting the woman who tried to kill her—who turns out to be her husband’s daughter—you’ll hear the explosion all the way to San Francisco.”

FORRESTERS CIRCLE FOR THE KILL

While Hope and Carter battle it out, the Forrester family isn’t sitting idle. They’re quietly positioning themselves to swoop in and reclaim their company.

With Carter potentially switching sides, Ridge, Steffy, and Eric finally see an opening to undo Hope’s coup and restore the family legacy.

“Nobody expected Carter to grow a conscience,” admitted a fashion industry veteran. “But the Forresters sure aren’t wasting this opportunity. They’ve already reached out to major shareholders and started planning their counter-offensive.”

The next few days will determine whether Carter follows through on ending the takeover despite Hope’s vicious threats, and whether Finn’s shocking paternity revelation destroys his marriage. Los Angeles hasn’t seen this much drama since… well, last month, but this time the stakes feel higher than ever.
