Ridge Betrays Carter, Has Him Thrown in Jail and Fires Hope Right After Taking Back the Company
Hello everybody, welcome back.
After everything Carter has done to make amends, Ridge vowed that forgiveness was never part of the plan. In a shocking double betrayal, Ridge doesn’t just take back Forrester Creations—he takes Carter down with it. And as if that weren’t enough, he immediately fires Hope, making it clear that he is wiping out everyone who stood against the Forresters.
But is Ridge going too far?
Carter believed that returning the company would put him back in Ridge’s good graces, but Ridge, still seeing him as a traitor, decides that just taking back Forrester Creations isn’t enough. Spoilers suggest that Ridge uncovers something incriminating from Carter’s time in control—a legal loophole, financial misstep, or contract violation—and uses it to have him arrested.
As Carter is dragged away in handcuffs, Hope demands answers, only for Ridge to drop another bombshell: she’s fired. No warning. No discussion. Just a cold and calculated move to get rid of her once and for all.
Hope is left stunned, realizing that Ridge never planned to let her stay even after Carter returned the company. Meanwhile, Brooke, Liam, and even Eric may question Ridge’s ruthless actions. Is he truly protecting the family legacy, or is he letting revenge consume him?
And will Carter stay behind bars, or will someone step in to save him?
One thing is certain—Ridge isn’t playing fair. But will his power move backfire in ways he never expected?
