In the latest twist on “The Bold and the Beautiful,” Zen reaches a breaking point due to feeling constantly sidelined within the Forester family.

Despite his long tenure at Forester Creations, Zen believes he’s been overlooked while RJ, a newcomer, received significant opportunities, intensifying Zen’s dissatisfaction.

Frustrated by the perpetual injustice, he makes a monumental decision to depart from Forester Creations, seeking a fresh start in Rome to establish his career independently.

Zen’s departure triggers a realization within the Forester family—they had taken Zen for granted, assuming he’d always be there. However, his departure shocks them, especially Eric and Ridge, who acknowledge their failure in addressing Zen’s grievances. Eric, acknowledging his unfair treatment of Zen, decides to visit Rome to check on Zen’s new venture. Despite the disappointment of Zen’s departure, Eric respects his decision and doesn’t attempt to persuade him to return.

Zen’s departure serves as a pivotal moment, signaling a new chapter in his career where he aims to prove his abilities without relying on familial connections. This unexpected turn prompts a reevaluation within the Forester family about their treatment of Zen and the opportunities they failed to offer him. As Zen embarks on his new path, his departure creates ripples of regret and introspection within the family, leaving them to ponder the consequences of their actions.
