Recent CEOs transitioning across soaps.
The corporate power plays in daytime dramas are as intense as the romantic entanglements and family feuds that keep fans glued to their screens. From shocking appointments to underhanded strategies, recent CEO transitions across soaps have delivered no shortage of intrigue. Let’s break down the boardroom battles that have set tongues wagging.
The Bold and the Beautiful: Forrester Creations in Flux
Eric Forrester built Forrester Creations from the ground up, transforming it into a fashion powerhouse. However, Carter Walton, the former COO, had ambitions that went beyond the runway. When Carter pitched an expansion plan that was shot down by Eric, Steffy, and Ridge, tensions flared. The final straw came when the Forrester family decided to cut Hope’s "Hope for the Future" line, prompting Carter to take drastic action.
Using a shrewd legal maneuver, Carter tricked Steffy and Ridge into signing LLC papers without reading the fine print. This move effectively gave him control of Forrester Creations. Unable to work under Carter, the Forrester family walked away—leading to the shocking appointment of Brooke Logan as CEO. With Brooke at the helm, the dynamics at Forrester Creations are poised for seismic shifts.
General Hospital: Drew’s Dilemma
Drew Cain’s promise to Curtis Ashford to step aside as CEO of Aurora Media has unraveled into a web of betrayal and scandal. A drunken altercation at the Brown Dog saw Drew embroiled in a bar fight with Cody, captured on video and quickly weaponized by his adversaries.
Back at the Quartermaine mansion, Drew faced accusations from Ned and Tracy. The drama escalated when Michael learned about Drew’s secret kiss with Willow. Guilt-ridden, Drew offered Michael the CEO position, but Michael had other plans. He recorded their conversation and looped Curtis into the unfolding drama. Curtis, however, declined to work under Drew, demanding a written five-year guarantee as Aurora’s CEO. With these conditions in place, Curtis now holds the reins, but at what cost to their relationships?
Days of Our Lives: A Kiriakis Power Struggle
Victor Kiriakis’s will has sparked a fierce battle for control of Titan Industries. The revelation that Alexander Kiriakis is Victor’s illegitimate son added another layer of complexity to the inheritance. Meanwhile, Xander Cook found himself embroiled in a separate scheme involving Sarah Horton’s paralysis and a mysterious vial of medicine held by Kristen DiMera.
Before Xander could finalize a deal, Justin’s intervention brought the matter to court. The judge’s ruling declared Xander and Philip as co-CEOs, with each controlling 50% of Titan. The tension between the step-siblings promises to make Titan’s boardroom as volatile as ever.
The Young and the Restless: Chancellor’s New Chapter
Billy Abbott’s risky business moves left Jill Abbott with little choice but to accept Victor Newman’s offer to buy Chancellor Industries. Victor wasted no time installing Nikki Newman as CEO, leaving Billy out in the cold. With Jill’s decision, Victor further cemented the Newman family’s dominance in Genoa City, while Billy’s future remains uncertain.
The Big Question: Who Will Thrive in Their New Roles?
These power transitions have left fans speculating about what’s next for their favorite characters. Will Brooke’s leadership at Forrester Creations unite or divide the company? Can Curtis prove himself at Aurora despite Drew’s betrayal? How will the Kiriakis siblings navigate their uneasy partnership? And what does Nikki’s appointment at Chancellor mean for Genoa City’s business landscape?
