Pure speculation, but I wonder if Steffy's plan will backfire, Daphne puts Carter under her spell to get rid of Hope, uses him to get rid of Steffy and then takes over FC. Then Brooke will figure it all out, blow up Daphne's plot, and restore FC to the Forresters under the condition that Hope keeps her job and her line and Steffy can no longer treat Hope and Brooke disrespectfully.

That would be great, but I’m not sure if Bell wants Brooke to be the savior of FC. Remember, it’s the Steffy show and she is the one who seems to always come out on top and smelling like a rose. Sickening, but that’s the way it always appears to me.

Maybe Steffy will be distracted by what is happening around Finn and his family?

Yeah, and makes this takeover story so boring and predictable. Can't stand looking at screen hog Steffy's smug face or hearing her spewing her nonsense or her annoying weird friend that I FF most of it.

Shown on screen, Steffy blackmailed Bill. Yet, she told Ivy (and Liam too) that “blackmail is a crime”. Per Steffy’s own words, she IS a criminal cuz she has blackmailed.

It’s very possible. Two things are very likely: that Steffy’s plan will backfire and that this is just another Brooke glorification story. You just need to include the Taylor humiliation.

That would be interesting however I wonder what would happen to Carter. Is he so easily smitten by women that he would betray his best friend and lose their legacy? I would think that there could be no reconciliation if that was the case.

Carter wouldn't be at fault. The perfumed scarf made him do it.

Especially as we now know the numbers of Hope's line are going up again and it seems she and Zende are responsible for this.

That is what I have been saying. I think Daphne's goal is taking over Forester. Of course Steffy would hire someone just like her to seduce Carter, but I think this is going to blow up for Steffy. Daphne could be the one who seduces Carter, but it would be more powerful if Daphne went after Ridge.

Maybe, but I think Ridge is still going to be in a triangle with Brooke and Taylor.

Kammie , 1/26/2025, 9:17AM (248 days ago) @Drangonfly
I think it will be all about the OTFH (original triangle from Hell) however Ridge very well could easily get bored with his safe and second choice and decide he wants to try someone new for a while. He did this with Ashley when he was done with Taylor, but wanted Brooke back. That relationship did not last very long before he was back with Brooke.

Yeah, I think the triangle will still go on after the takeover story ends. I bet Ridge will want to leave Taylor again but can't because of her achy breaky heart.

The moment Ridge has back FC he will want Brooke back too. Taylor will probably have (or fake) a heart attack and Steffy will tell Daddy he just can't leave Mommy.

Maybe. All I know is in the end there won't be major changes. It'll be back to square 1, with Steffy the CEO bullying her employees. A giant and unnecessary waste of airtime.
--
That’s because this story was never about FC really, it was just used to manipulate Hope to want Carter. It was all about Cope being painted as endgame so that Steam can reunite.
Mark my words. I won’t be in the fandom anymore, I have finally washed my hands and it feels great, but you’ll all be saying, “gee, Bizzie was right!”.

Lol...Bizzie, I think the takeover story was made for Bridge/Tridge mainly, actually to give Bridge another road bump, named Taylor, let them overcome it finally and show that they are strong and endgame!
Cope were just used to do the takeover and give Hope another bad story after she already had to fantasize about married Finn, after telling us only months before she wanted a 1-woman-man.
This show has been a giant disappointment for me because I loved Thope and they broke them up, not to give Hope something better in the end but stories going from bad to worse.
Hope's job since last March was punching bag and whipping girl, mainly to Steffy. I will be glad if Sinn should break up now if it will not, like everything else, be called Hope's fault.
And I hope for you that you will get the endgame Sinn which you want for Steffy, I really believe the chances are good!
I too think the takeover story was to put Tridge together and break up Bridge for now.
I haven’t liked the writing for Hope in a long time either.
I hope you’re right about Sinn. Thanks for the encouragement!

100%. I think, at the end of the story, everyone will be right back where they started. Maybe Brooke will hold on to her CEO position, though.

Steffy was also bullying and berating Brooke and Ridge never shut her down. If Steffy had her way there wouldn't have been a relaunch of BBL and FC would have lost the millions it brought them. Just because of Steffy being petty and jealous. What a wonderful Co-CEO she was...

How can Brooke set a "condition" for treatement to Steffy or to someone else?
Steffy IS Steffy.
She'll never accept the Logans, be their "friend" or whatever...
In all fairness they all contributed a lot for the treatement they get.
I'd love for someone to set a "condition" to the Logans for once:
To change their passive aggresive tactics and always wanting, what belongs to the Forrester family!

Logan’s think forresters only job in town I guess they are weird
Of course Brooke could demand that employees have to be treated like employers should treat them, like human beings and not like enemies or subjects of some Royal family.
She should demand that there should not be any dirty name-calling or firing for personal reasons.
It would be best to write this down so no one will ever forget it.

Steffy doesn't have to be Brooke or Hope's friend. But is it too much to ask that she check her personal vendettas at the door? She needs to be professional. And she can't be calling people nasty, disgusting names.

Logan’s hasn’t stole anything. FC still belongs to the Forresters
The Logans, primarily Brooke, have saved the Forresters sorry asses many times. Brooke is a huge successful part of FC. Steffy, on the other hand, has actually contributed very little. Walking around an office bitching about the Logan’s does nothing for FC
Agree. Insulting Brooke, insulting and blackmailing Hope, finally firing Hope for (wrong) personal reasons, calling Hope and Brooke dirty names...this is Steffy´s contribution to FC. And always with this smug face she makes.
