The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers recap for Monday, December 2, reveals that Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) pushed Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) to tear up the LLC papers and get rid of his toxic relationship with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle).
Carter understood what Ridge was asking of him, but he refused to accept the second chance Ridge was offering.
Although Ridge was turning Hope into a scapegoat, Carter insisted this was his decision – one that he made willingly while clear-headed.
Ridge reiterated that Hope was using Carter, but Carter argued that she loved him instead.
After Ridge ranted about Carter throwing away their friendship and his whole life for Hope, Carter suggested that Ridge blamed a Logan when anything went wrong. According to Carter, it was something Ridge learned from his mother!
Ridge pointed out that Katie Logan (Heather Tom) was head of the PR department and mentioned his relationship with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), too.
However, Carter acted like Brooke’s executive position wasn’t enough and argued that Brooke made better decisions when she was running Forrester Creations.
Ridge was appalled as he realized Carter legitimately believed he could run Forrester better than the Forresters themselves, but he warned that this takeover attempt failed and said it was time to pay the price.
Ridge insisted Carter’s name wasn’t on the building and called him a “lovesick puppy who’s scared of waking up alone.”
After Ridge said he’d already moved on, he declared that Carter was fired and not welcome there anymore.
Ridge told Carter to get out of his office, out of the building and out of his life.
Once Carter walked out the door, he looked pensive and frustrated in the corridor.
At the cabin on Monday’s B&B episode, Hope lashed out at Brooke for going to Ridge instead of talking to her first.
Now Carter could lose everything, but Brooke argued that the two of them knew the risks.
Although Hope thought Carter might regret losing his friendship with Ridge, she made a prediction about Carter not regretting their relationship. Hope believed in Carter and the love they shared.
Brooke was hoping Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) would come around on bringing Hope back to Forrester Creations, but that obviously wasn’t going to happen after this betrayal news.
Even so, Hope denied that this takeover plot was malicious and defended Carter’s desire to have his ideas implemented.
Brooke argued that Carter shouldn’t take the rejection of his ideas personally and understood why Ridge was being cautious.
However, Hope continued to defend Carter, who was doing this for all the underdogs and wouldn’t stop fighting for everyone.
Brooke pointed out that Ridge and Steffy were never going to trust Hope now, but Hope said maybe they wouldn’t have to.
Once Hope brought up the LLC paperwork, Brooke said Ridge hired another lawyer to get them out of their jam.
Hope grew concerned about the consequences for Carter since he cared about Forrester Creations and was a vital part of the company.
Brooke decided she’d go out on a limb and say Carter WAS an vital part since she expected he’d been fired by now.
Hope was upset at the thought of Ridge taking away Carter’s connection to Forrester and insisted that Ridge couldn’t do that.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Carter and Ridge’s conflict will escalate in the coming episodes, so we’ll bring you updates on all the twists and turns.
