Carter faces moral dilemma over Forrester Creations control

Carter is facing a tough choice in the latest episode of The Bold and the Beautiful. He feels guilty about taking over Forrester Creations, worrying that he might have hurt important people like Eric and Ridge. He speaks to Hope about his guilt, but she reminds him of their accomplishments and tells him not to give control back to the Forresters. In a surprising twist, Carter reveals he has already made a serious decision that could damage his relationship with Hope. He visits her to discuss a request from Eric and Ridge to regain control of the company. Hope refuses their request because she believes they want to take advantage of their hard work. She wants to focus on their personal time together instead of company matters. Carter struggles with his feelings of guilt and acknowledges that he is not leading because he tore the LLC papers. However, Hope brushes off his worries about leadership. Later, Carter drops a bombshell that he has agreed to a deal with Eric and Ridge, tearing the LLC papers and giving ownership back to them. Hope accuses him of letting the Forresters manipulate him and feels betrayed. Carter assures Hope he worked hard to secure her line, Hope For the Future, but he does not confirm if he has any written agreement. With Eric and Ridge taking charge again, Hope's future at Forrester Creations looks uncertain. This turmoil tests their relationship and raises questions about loyalty and trust.
