The Bold and the Beautiful: Brooke’s CEO Power Play To Give Ridge FC Fails Spectacularly

BROOKE’S “BRILLIANT” PLAN FALLS APART BEFORE IT STARTS

In what might go down as one of Brooke Logan’s most poorly executed plans ever, her hasty announcement as Forrester Creations’ new CEO has left her relationship with Ridge Forrester in shambles. And honestly? She has no one to blame but herself.

Let’s break down just how spectacularly Brooke managed to torpedo her own supposed plan to help Ridge. After being pushed by Carter Walton and Hope Logan to take the CEO position, Brooke’s entire preparation for dropping this bombshell on Ridge consisted of… wait for it… one text message. That’s right. One. Single. Text.

SOCIAL MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT HEARD ‘ROUND THE WORLD

Before Ridge could even respond to that woefully inadequate text, Brooke went ahead with a live social media announcement declaring herself CEO of Forrester Creations. Even worse, she announced that Ridge, Steffy, and Eric were “on a leave of absence” – something they definitely didn’t know about beforehand.

While Brooke claims she has some master plan to eventually return control to Ridge through convincing Carter to redo the LLC, her execution has been nothing short of disastrous. This is a woman who’s worked at Forrester for decades – did she really not realize company announcements generate immediate alerts? Did she think Ridge wouldn’t see this bombshell dropped on social media?

RIDGE TURNS TO TAYLOR AS BROOKE’S PLAN IMPLODES

The aftermath has been exactly what you’d expect when someone drops a corporate bombshell with zero proper communication. Ridge is devastated by what he sees as a betrayal, while Taylor Hayes is right there to pick up the pieces. And can you blame him for feeling betrayed? His fiancée just publicly announced she was taking control of his family’s company after sending him one measly text message.

Brooke desperately tried to explain to Zende that she was pressured into this by Carter, claiming she has some plan to make things right. But after such a public ambush, will Ridge even give her the chance to explain? When you’ve just announced to the world that you’re taking control of someone’s family company, maybe “I’ll fix it later” isn’t the most convincing argument.

CONSEQUENCES OF POOR PLANNING

The sad irony here is that Brooke claims she wants to help Ridge and save Forrester Creations. But by failing to have a real conversation with him before making such a massive announcement, she’s managed to destroy any chance of him trusting her intentions. One text message before a corporate takeover announcement? That’s not communication – that’s an afterthought.

While Carter and Hope may be celebrating their successful coup, Brooke’s already realizing the devastating personal cost of her hasty decision. As Ridge seeks comfort from Taylor and the Forresters reel from this betrayal, Brooke’s left trying to explain how her plan to save everything may have cost her everything instead.

WHAT COMES NEXT?

The question now isn’t just whether Brooke can convince Carter to redo the LLC – it’s whether Ridge will even care if she does. Her decision to make such a major move without proper communication has created exactly the kind of crisis she claims she was trying to prevent. Sometimes the road to hell really is paved with good intentions… and really, really poor planning.
