The boardroom drama will only continue after Eric (John McCook) makes a surprising decision regarding who will be president of Forrester Creations on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Battle Intensifies For Control Over Forrester Creations

After hearing arguments from all sides and being clued in to the personal drama between Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Eric makes a shocking decision to remove Rick (Jacob Young) from the presidency and make the two former lovers co-presidents instead. However, in a preview clip for the Thursday, April 3 episode, his plan appears to begin backfiring when Ridge and Brooke can't stop fighting.

Brooke, specifically, is upset with Ridge for choosing her sister, Katie (Heather Tom) over her, and is now on a mission to make sure Ridge doesn't try and get her children, Rick and Hope (Kim Matula), completely removed from the company in revenge.

Katie Fears Ridge's Work Situation?

"You are trying to destroy everything that Hope and Rick have done here. I won't let you do that," she says to Ridge in the preview clip. "You don't deserve to be president of this company."

Meanwhile, Ridge's decision to fire Oliver (Zach Conroy) has been met with extreme opposition, and a combined effort by Carter (Lawrence St. Victor), Maya (Karla Mosley) Hope and Aly (Ashlyn Pearce) could help him get his position back as the photographer for the Hope for the Future line.

Despite being the company lawyer, Carter agrees with his fiancée and co-workers that Oliver should remain right where he is.

"Getting rid of Oliver was going too far," he says in the clip.

However, Oliver may initially be resistant to the help, because he feels that his lack of a Forrester name doesn't qualify him to stick around.

"Ridge is a Forrester," he says in the clip. "If a Forrester wants me out, I'm history."

The Bold and the Beautiful airs Monday-Friday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
