The Bold and the Beautiful Performance Medals of the Week: Katie's bold move earns her the gold

Every week on The Bold and the Beautiful, a few performances rise above the rest. Not because the characters are the most popular, but because something extra jumps off of the screen. Sometimes it is a subtle facial reaction that says more than the dialogue. Other times, it is a heated confrontation or a quiet emotional beat that lingers after the scene ends.

Only one performance is usually singled out as Performer of the Week, but this award distribution is more about the characters themselves. The reality is that B&B regularly features multiple standouts within the same stretch of episodes.

Performance Medals of the Week

Gold Medal: Katie Logan

Katie had one of the most monumental weeks of her life, so it was an easy placement for the top spot of the first medal distribution. She started the week celebrating her niece's wedding, but she was quickly swept into her own fairy tale when Bill not only proposed to her but also surprised her with an impromptu wedding. If landing the man of her dreams wasn't a special enough moment, her life changed even further as the week went on.

Bill surprised Katie with her own fashion house, a decision that gave her enough confidence to walk away from Forrester Creations. Tired of the disrespect, Katie informed Brooke that she'd been taking her skill sets elsewhere and starting her own brand from the ground up. Katie chose herself this week, and that level of empowerment landed her the top honors.

Silver Medal: Bill Spencer

He has taken incredible steps toward becoming a better version of himself, and this week was a shining example. Taking Bill's grand romantic gestures, like the proposal, the surprise wedding, or even the fashion house, out of the equation for a second, he still found ways to prove himself this week. The moment Katie returned the sword necklace to him, and he second-guessed the idea of putting it back around his neck, it showed how much he wanted to commit to his new life as a better version of himself.

However, it's Bill's relentless desire to show his new bride her own self-worth that helped him rise to the top. At every turn, Bill reminded Katie how much she was valued and respected, and pointed out how Forrester Creations mistreated her and consistently overlooked her many talents. He was everything that anyone could ever want in a supportive partner, and hopefully, the pattern continues.

Bronze Medal: Hope Logan

Most of Hope's week was spent trying to grasp onto any semblance of control involving her line. Decisions were made without her input or consultation, and she was forced to accept that, even at the cost of crushing her brother's dreams. She was repeatedly placed in a position where Steffy and Ridge required her to deal with the consequences of their own, arguably selfish actions. The most challenging moment of the week came when she was forced to fire Deke, and although it was excruciating, she showed restraint and self-awareness as she delivered the news.

On Friday's episode, Hope went to bat for her brother, even if the outcome was not the one that either would've liked. Seeing Hope risk it all, standing up to Steffy, and drawing a line in the sand when it came to Thomas was a pivotal factor in securing a spot in the top three characters of the week. Hope needs to have a voice and use it because if she doesn't, she's going to get stepped on at every turn.
