, alliances, and shifting loyalties. Spoilers for Thursday, December 12, reveal that Brooke plays a pivotal role in a high-stakes power struggle

at Forrester Creations, with Ridge, Carter, Hope, and even Eric all entangled in a web of intrigue.

Brooke Intercepts Hope and Carter’s Plot

The drama begins when Brooke accidentally overhears a conversation between Carter and Hope, revealing their plans to seize control of Forrester Creations. Without hesitation, Brooke rushes to inform Ridge, believing he might have the power to thwart their scheme. However, she doesn’t consider the potential fallout for Carter or her daughter, Hope.

Despite Brooke’s efforts, events move at a breakneck pace. Carter has meticulously prepared everything, and the necessary LLC documents are already filed. By the time Ridge learns the truth, it’s too late—Carter officially assumes leadership of Forrester Creations. Brooke is left reeling, knowing she has unintentionally stepped into the middle of a brewing storm.

Hope Confides in Brooke

Hope takes the opportunity to confide in her mother, explaining the reasoning behind her alliance with Carter. She believes Brooke has been sidelined for far too long at Forrester Creations, holding a title but lacking real authority. Hope attempts to convince Brooke that this bold move isn’t just for herself but also for Brooke’s benefit. Hope’s argument is simple: Brooke deserves justice and a meaningful place at the table, and this plan is their chance to achieve it.

While Brooke agrees that her treatment has been unfair, she is deeply troubled by the underhanded nature of Hope and Carter’s tactics. Brooke warns her daughter to abandon the plan before the situation spirals further out of control. However, the situation takes an emotional turn when Ridge confronts Hope in front of Brooke, unleashing his fury.

Ridge’s Blame Pushes Brooke to Take a Side

Ridge, furious over the coup at Forrester Creations, lashes out at Hope, accusing her of masterminding Carter’s takeover. He ignores Carter’s role in the plan, placing the full weight of blame on Hope. Witnessing this, Brooke’s feelings begin to shift. Although she disapproves of Hope and Carter’s scheme, she cannot tolerate Ridge humiliating her daughter so harshly. Brooke’s maternal instincts kick in, and she decides to stand by Hope, at least for the time being.

With Carter and Hope on one side and Ridge on the other, Brooke makes it clear she won’t allow Ridge to tear her daughter down. For Hope, this marks a small victory, as she now has both Carter and Brooke in her corner, offering some semblance of support in the fallout from their plan.

Eric Joins the Fray

Just as Brooke begins to reconcile her stance, another complication arises. Brooke learns that Eric, her ex-husband and someone she deeply respects, has joined forces with Ridge to take back control of Forrester Creations. Eric’s involvement shakes Brooke to her core. While she values Eric’s kindness and tolerance, she fears he may adopt Ridge’s harsh stance against Hope.

This leaves Brooke at a crossroads. Supporting Hope means going against both Ridge and Eric, two men who have played significant roles in her life. If Eric begins to criticize Hope, will Brooke be willing to confront him as well? Or will this push her to reconsider her alliance with Hope and Carter?

The Battle Lines Are Drawn

Thursday’s episode promises a mix of emotional turmoil and strategic maneuvering as Brooke navigates her relationships and the power struggle at Forrester Creations. With her loyalty torn between her daughter, her boyfriend, and her ex-husband, Brooke faces an impossible choice. Will she continue to support Hope, or will Eric’s involvement sway her to change sides?

Stay tuned for an episode filled with intense confrontations, shifting alliances, and shocking decisions that will redefine the power dynamics at Forrester Creations.
