The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers recap for Tuesday, January 26, reveal that Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) talked in the Forrester Creations CEO office.
Carter gushed about how he wants to marry Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes). Ridge gently asked if Carter was sure that the feeling was mutual between them.
Carter barreled on, saying how much he loves Zoe and how she said yes to his marriage proposal, making the feeling definitely mutual. Carter said that he and Zoe still needed to determine a wedding date, and he broached the topic of needing a best man.
Ridge said that he’d be honored, and that he had Carter’s back.
Just then, Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) walked in the office and overheard Carter saying that Zoe hadn’t picked a wedding date yet.
Carter took off, and Ridge pounced on Paris, wondering if the relationship between Carter and Zoe was something that he should be concerned about. Paris played coy, saying that Zoe is a free spirit but that she’s committed to Carter.
“I don’t see her as a happily committed fiancé,” Ridge said, saying that he saw the way Zoe looks at Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz).
Paris insisted that Zoe loved Carter and that she was excited to marry him. “There’s no need to have concerns,” Paris said. Ridge continued to look worried, and Paris left.
Meanwhile, in the backstage area at Forrester Creations, Zoe talked with Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz). Zoe pressed Zende about his delayed text, saying that it wasn’t too late for them. “I’m not married yet,” Zoe insisted, saying that she had proof of Zende’s feelings for her.
Finally, Zende admitted it. “All right, yes, but the text didn’t go through, and now it’s too late!” Zende yelled. Zoe insisted that it wasn’t too late, prompting Zende to yell, “You’re engaged to my good friend!” Zoe continued to press the issue, and Zende fumed, “No! This isn’t going to happen!”
Just then, Paris walked up and started listening in to Zoe and Zende’s conversation. Paris learned all about the text, and she heard Zende say that he couldn’t betray Carter.
“I know I could have a home and family with Carter…but how can I when there’s you?” Zoe said. Zende said that Zoe had to drop this, but Zoe fired back that her future could be with Zende, not Carter.
Paris kept listening as Zende said that Zoe was engaged and that she needed to focus on Carter. Zende walked off, and Paris approached Zoe.
“So, Carter isn’t enough for you – You have to have Zende, too?” Paris mused. Zoe didn’t appreciate Paris’ interference and told her sister to mind her own business.
Paris asked Zoe what was wrong with her, and Zoe again said it was none of Paris’ business. Paris questioned why Zoe was stringing Carter along, and Zoe told Paris not to judge her.
“You go home to Carter at night, then you come here and flirt with Zende – Are you serious?” Paris said.
Paris continued, telling Zoe that Carter was Ridge’s best friend, and that this was going to end in disaster. “Maybe it ends with me being with the man I’m actually meant to be with,” Zoe insisted.
Meanwhile, up in the CEO office, Ridge beckoned Zende in, saying that he wanted to talk with Zende about Zoe.
Over at Spencer Publications, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) blustered on about business to Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) wondering where Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) was.
Bill was in rare form, and Wyatt deduced that Bill must be missing Katie Logan (Heather Tom). Just then, Katie showed up and Bill was happy to see her.
As it turned out, Katie stopped by with a game for Will Spencer (Finnegan George) and Bill to play together, and Wyatt urged Katie to stay. “You make him nicer,” Wyatt said.
Bill then got rid of Wyatt, and he turned to Katie saying that it was nice to be in the same room with her. Bill went on, gushing about all the things he missed about Katie.
Bill told Katie that he missed her, Will, and their family together. “I know it’s my fault, but I’m so sorry,” Bill said. Katie said that she believed that Bill was sorry, but that it always happens again.
Bill launched into a speech about how he wanted to make up for what he did going forward. Katie said she didn’t know if she was ready.
Katie continued, saying that she thought their relationship was better than ever, but then Bill kissed Brooke Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) and it broke her heart.
Katie said that she deserved a man who loves her and only her, and a man who keeps his commitments and sets an example for Will. Bill promised to be that man, and he asked Katie to let him come home.
