In upcoming episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful airing December 29 to January 2, 2025, Katie Logan launches her own fashion house, sparking tension with her sisters Brooke and Donna. Bill Spencer encourages Katie's ambitions while Ridge Forrester's actions continue to irritate others at Forrester Creations. Eric Forrester grapples with forced retirement, potentially aligning with Katie's new venture.
The Bold and the Beautiful's early spoilers for the week of December 29 to January 2, 2025, highlight escalating drama at Forrester Creations and beyond. Katie Logan (Heather Tom), recently departed from the company, eagerly embraces the challenge of establishing her own fashion house. Despite Brooke Logan's (Katherine Kelly Lang) skepticism about Katie's experience—overlooking her past role as CEO—Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) acts as her hype man, urging her to hire staff and prove doubters wrong. Tension brews during a meeting at Spencer Publications, where Brooke reacts snarkily to the new logo, and Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) attempts to mediate the sibling rivalry.
Eric Forrester (John McCook) struggles with his forced retirement, showing Donna a new gown design he calls his best ever. This could draw him toward Katie's project, revitalizing his career and creating a Logan family divide, with Donna likely siding with Eric. Meanwhile, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) infuriates colleagues through his high-handed decisions, potentially pushing disgruntled employees like Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) toward Katie's door. Hope, unsettled by firing her brother Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) and being forced to collaborate with Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz), may reject their vision for Hope for the Future, which clashes with her urban chic direction.
Other potential defections include Will Spencer (Crew Morrow), already considering leaving, and Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer), upset over Eric's sidelining. Rumors swirl about a possible recast for RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman), with actor Brayan Nicoletti spotted at a cast holiday party alongside Thorsten Kaye and John McCook, though no confirmation exists. Bill's encouragement ignites a firestorm, setting up rival fashion houses reminiscent of past Spectra and Morone conflicts. Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Ridge's smug attitudes risk further instability, as Eric and Donna bolster Katie against naysayers.
