They've all learned that the future of Forrester Creations literally rests in the hands of none other than Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), and now, the battle for control will take a surprising turn as Bill makes his decision about who should sit in the CEO chair on The Bold and the Beautiful.

The Battle For Forrester Turns Violent

He was initially entirely on board with the plan that saw his shares in the company being used to kick out Eric (John McCook) and Rick (Jacob Young) in favor of Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Liam (Scott Clifton), but was given an enticing offer by Rick to side with him and then have the ability to stick it to Ridge by choosing the next company president.

However, though sticking it to Ridge is something Bill would love to do because of their tense history as enemies, it appears Bill may still side with the same people he originally teamed up with, because he's sick of Rick's antics against Caroline (Linsey Godfrey).

Rick & Eric Make Bill An Irresistible Offer

"You need to wake the hell up!" Bill says to Rick in a preview clip for the Thursday, June 4 episode.

As that battle continues to wage however, a new twist could also change the way things play out, as Wyatt (Darin Brooks) expresses his upset that he lost Nicole (Reign Edwards) over his attempt to score information on Maya (Karla Mosley)--because of Bill's request he do so--and yet, Liam is the one who is currently winning his father's favor.

"Dad rewards Liam, whether he's earned it or not," he says to Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) in the clip.

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