Scene 1: The Boardroom at Forrester Creations
(The room is abuzz with tension. Ridge Forrester sits at the head of the table, flanked by Steffy and Thomas. Hope Logan and Carter Walton sit on the opposite side, poised but calm.)
RIDGE
Forrester Creations has always been about family. What you’re proposing, Hope, goes against everything we stand for.
HOPE (standing)
With all due respect, Ridge, the world is changing. If Forrester Creations wants to stay relevant, we need to embrace new ideas—mine included.
STEFFY
And you think sidelining the Forresters is the way to do that?
CARTER (calmly interjecting)
No one’s talking about sidelining anyone. This is about modernizing the brand, diversifying leadership, and ensuring Forrester Creations thrives for generations.
RIDGE (to Carter)
Since when did you become more than legal counsel?
CARTER (with quiet confidence)
Since I realized the company I’ve spent years protecting could use leadership that listens.
(The room falls silent. Ridge exchanges a glance with Steffy. The tension is palpable.)
ACT TWO: DIVIDED LOYALTIES
Scene 1: Brooke’s Living Room
(Hope confides in her mother, Brooke. The room is warm and inviting, but Hope’s demeanor is anything but.)
BROOKE
Taking over Forrester Creations? Hope, are you sure about this?
HOPE
I’ve never been more sure of anything, Mom. I’ve worked hard, built my line, proven myself. Why should I stay in the shadows?
BROOKE
Because power changes things. It changes people.
HOPE
Or maybe it reveals who we really are.
Scene 2: The Design Studio at Forrester Creations
(Thomas confronts Carter late at night, the studio dimly lit.)
THOMAS
You’re a lawyer, not a leader. What makes you think you belong at the helm of this company?
CARTER
I’ve been in the trenches, Thomas. I know the contracts, the clients, the stakes. Maybe it’s time for someone who understands the foundation to help build the future.
THOMAS
And you think that future doesn’t include my family?
CARTER
I think it includes all of us—if you’re willing to adapt.
ACT THREE: A NEW THREAD
Scene 1: The Boardroom—A Vote of Confidence
(The board gathers to vote on whether Hope and Carter’s vision should be implemented. The tension is thick.)
RIDGE
Hope, Carter, this is your last chance. Convince us.
HOPE (stepping forward)
Forrester Creations isn’t just a name. It’s a legacy. But legacies don’t survive by clinging to the past—they evolve. I’m not asking you to let go of the Forrester name. I’m asking you to trust me to carry it forward.
CARTER
And as someone who’s defended this company’s integrity for years, I can promise you this: we’ll protect what makes Forrester Creations special, while embracing what makes it strong.
(The board deliberates. Ridge and Steffy exchange a long look before reluctantly nodding.)
RIDGE
Fine. You have your chance. Don’t squander it.
Scene 2: The Runway
(The play ends with Hope and Carter unveiling their first joint collection. The lights dim as the models walk the runway to thunderous applause. Ridge, Steffy, and Thomas watch from the sidelines, their expressions a mix of pride and uncertainty.)
HOPE (to Carter, as the show concludes)
This is just the beginning.
CARTER (smiling)
Let’s make it unforgettable.
(The lights fade as the audience applauds, signaling a new era for Forrester Creations.)
