The Bold and the Beautiful is entering another turbulent chapter, and nowhere is the tension sharper than inside the walls of Forrester Creations. As rivalries deepen and loyalties fracture, the soap is setting the stage for major shifts—both personal and corporate. With Luna gone and her chaotic storyline finally in the rear-view, the series now has room to refocus on power struggles, broken trust, and the characters who might abandon Forrester for Spencer Publications.
Some departures could reshape the fashion empire forever, while others could never happen without dismantling the show’s foundation.

Characters Who Should Walk Away From Forrester

1. Katie Logan
Katie has spent the year fiercely protecting her son Will from the fallout of Luna’s manipulations. Once Luna died and the miscarriage storyline ended, Katie tried to move forward—only to be blindsided by Forrester’s decision to outsource PR to an external firm. Though she didn’t lash out, her disappointment was obvious. Now reunited with Bill, who has no love for Ridge or Forrester Creations, Katie could easily be pulled toward Spencer Publications. The move makes emotional and professional sense: she feels overlooked at Forrester, and working beside Bill would solidify their renewed relationship.

2. Will Spencer
Will has endured psychological trauma thanks to Luna’s harassment, assault, and manipulation. Despite working at Forrester, he has never felt like a natural fit. Will joining his father at Spencer has seemed inevitable for years, and now—with Luna gone and his storyline at a crossroads—the switch could reignite his character. A darker, more complex Will emerging under Bill’s influence could give the soap a compelling new antagonist for future arcs.

3. Electra Forrester
Electra’s role at Forrester has always felt redundant, especially with Ivy already firmly established in jewelry design. At this point, she is more Will’s girlfriend than an essential part of the company. If Will moves to Spencer, it would be logical for Electra to follow—setting up a Forrester vs. Forrester showdown from opposing companies. Bill even has the financial power to launch a rival jewelry division just to weaponize Electra’s talents. If she doesn’t leave with Will, a temporary departure from the show might be the cleanest option.

4. Zende Forrester
Long overshadowed at Forrester, Zende rarely gets the recognition or storylines he deserves. Whenever he is given focus, the spotlight is usually redirected to Ridge, Eric, or the newest rising designer. A move to a competitor could finally allow Zende to step out of the nepotism shadow and become a genuine creative force. His departure could also stir jealousy and tension among the Forrester relatives who have taken his loyalty for granted.

5. Daphne Rose
Daphne exists at the periphery of the Forrester universe. Her perfume business feels disconnected, her romance with Carter seems isolated from the rest of the company, and she interacts more with Deacon and Sheila than anyone in the office. Removing her from Forrester would heighten tension in her relationship with Carter and free space for more dynamic characters. She has no deep roots at Forrester, making her departure painless yet potentially beneficial for the narrative.

Characters Who Should Never Leave Forrester

1. Ridge Forrester
Ridge is the creative heartbeat of Forrester Creations. Every major design direction runs through him, and the brand itself draws much of its prestige from his name. He bridges the generational divide between Eric and the younger Forresters, shaping long-term stories with every romantic and business decision. Removing Ridge would unravel the company’s identity.

2. Steffy Forrester
Steffy is the modern face of Forrester Creations. As co-CEO, she keeps the company innovative, competitive, and disciplined. Her leadership maintains balance, especially since she is one of the few Forresters not entangled in messy workplace romances. Without her, the company would feel leaderless and far less formidable.

3. Eric Forrester
Eric is the living symbol of Forrester Creations. His legacy, history, and emotional presence tether the company to its origins. Even as his health becomes a concern, removing him would sever the show from its foundation and eliminate the family’s moral center. Eric humanizes the Forresters, reminding them of their shared roots.

4. Carter Walton
As COO and legal strategist, Carter is indispensable—especially amid the PR chaos of Luna’s death. He is level-headed, strategic, and the rare non-Forrester in a leadership position. Losing Carter would leave the company vulnerable, both internally and publicly.

5. Brooke Logan
Brooke is the connective tissue between families—Forrester, Logan, and Spencer. Her loyalty to the Forresters, her romantic history with Ridge and Eric, and her influence across rival factions make her irreplaceable. She keeps the peace, tempers conflict, and embodies the glamour central to the Forrester brand.
