Bold and Beautiful features Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) is really upset that Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) put Hope for the Future on the back burner again
And soon, Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) finds out what CEO Steffy has decided. And he won’t be too happy either. So, Hope can be made, you know, completely tired of being pulled back and forth.
And he might take action. So, we’re going to talk about whether Hope can jump ship Forrester Creations then I went straight to Logan take Zende with him.
Steffy Blindsides Hope on Bold and the Beautiful
Okay, so this week we saw Steffy blindside Hope in the design office. As expected, Steffy and the rest of the Forresters are obviously very salty about the Logan the fashion show was a tragic success for Katie Logan (Heather Tom).
So, Steffy comes in hot and asks Hope if Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) invited her to the victory party Logan celebrating what Katie did to Eric Forrester (John McCook). And of course, Steffy was talking about how she doesn’t think they had permission or authority to use Eric’s designs. All the same things Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) have been coming up with.
The Bright and Good: Hope is Strong in the Family
So, Hope defended her aunt Katie, but Steffy left Logan women always think about themselves. She told Hope that Katie abused Eric’s kindness and how full of remorse she is. So, it sounds like Steffy is fully on the anti-Logan bandwagon. And ironically Brooke is in that same band, when it comes to Katie at least.
Meanwhile, Hope insisted that Katie had done nothing wrong. And we all know that Eric was the one who insisted that he design Katie. But Hope also didn’t want to argue with Steffy about it. And Hope said she is not involved. But I think that will change soon because Steffy is not sticking to the deal she made with Hope.
Hope For The Future Has Been Suspended Again
If you’ve already watched this week’s episodes, Hope told Steffy that she was waiting for the green light to move forward with pushing the next batch to Hope for the Future. He said, “They are all ready to go.” Hope said, “The collection is finished. The designs are done.” Thomas and Zende signed. But Steffy said, “No, it’s still on hold.” And if you remember, Hope stuck around after they made her work with her ex-boyfriend and ex-con, Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson). And Hope stuck around after Forrester Creations made her fire her brother, Deacon. But Steffy may be about to push Hope too far.
So, Steffy told Hope they were going to quit Hope for the Future because they need to focus on couture. She told Steffy that this felt intentional and Hope couldn’t believe that Steffy would do this to her again after all the promises she made when they returned the line. Steffy said, “No, it’s not personal.”
But Hope doesn’t buy it because it’s too personal for her. Honestly, I don’t buy it either because it feels like Steffy is taking her anger out on Katie and punishing Hope. Also, we all know how much Steffy loves to cancel Hope for the Future. He has done it many times.
Courage and Goodness: Zende Hears the News
Also, this week, Zende will join the conversation with Hope and Steffy, and she looks very excited. Don’t forget, Zende was working hard Hope for the Future by Temba. So, of course, Zende will be sad to hear Steffy put the line aside for the foreseeable future.
Hope Might Consider Jumping Into Logan at B&B
And later this week, we have Hope and Liam over at the Spencer Mansion having dinner with Katie and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont). That’s when things can change a lot for Hope and her line. So, Katie tells them that Eric’s designs are great, but it’s just one collection and she needs to figure out what’s next. I mean, duh, Katie, shouldn’t you have been thinking about that? Why hasn’t he been thinking about it?
So, Hope and Liam exchanged looks when Katie said this. So, I felt that Hope might start to consider whether she can trust Steffy or not Forrester Creations honoring their commitment to him and his line. I thought it was interesting when she was talking to Hope that Steffy thought it was okay for Eric to break the terms of his contract with Katie and Hope brought it up.
He reminded Eric that he signed a contract giving Logan those designs, but Steffy doesn’t care. You signed the contract. Meanwhile, he also ignores what was promised in Hope’s contract. However, as he reminds Steffy, he is still bound by his contract Forrester Creations.
The Bright and Good: Themba Reconsiders Her Future at Forrester
But that may soon change Bold and Beautiful. I don’t know if it will happen this week, but I feel like May I sweep, I suspect Liam will suggest that Hope bring her line Logan because, let’s face it, Katie needs a new collection and Hope needs some place to work where her line won’t be constantly sidelined and kicked in the street and kicked to the side. Now, I can definitely see Liam supporting this and urging Hope to come to it Spencer/Logan.
I hope he can take Zende with him
And another red flag is that Bill just reminded Liam that Hope is with Spencer now and she’s an outsider Forrester Creations. So, Liam might be happy for Hope to join the Spencer family company. He might be on the same page if Steffy keeps bringing him down. And that’s how Hope can hire Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) to come to her Logan working on his line as he wants.
But I also don’t think that Hope can stand up and leave Zende. I think Hope might pass on the request to Zende to see if he wants to come with her Logan. He’s been sidelined a lot too. And if there’s no place for her in couture, you know, she might as well go with Hope. That would be amazing.
Well, not Thomas. First of all, I don’t think he will ever leave Forrester Creations working with the Spencers. Also, I don’t think Hope can recruit Thomas again. He’d rather be with Deke and Zende. If you remember, Hope didn’t want Thomas back in her line at all.
Partly because of their romantic past, but also because they have a different perspective on the present. Hope prefers Deke’s designs and his new type, and wanted to adopt Hope for the Future in a different way.
Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy Faking?
So, I think Steffy would be secretly happy if Hope left Logan, but he does that out of anger because he doesn’t like her and doesn’t want her around, especially after what happened last year. And I’m sure the Forresters could use Thomas again, put him in a couture or men’s line with RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti)).
I expect the Forresters will want Eric Forrester’s couture collection to remind the fashion world that The Forrester that’s where Eric belongs and this thing too Logan it was kind of a weird journey, you know, narrowing it down. They might do something.
I think this would be great as a Generations collection with Eric and Ridge and Thomas. Three generations work together in one collection. You know, I’d rather it be Thomas than RJ to be honest.
So, obviously, this will be done to make Katie’s Forrester collection look like old news, but I think Hope, Zende, and Deke can make a lot of noise in Logan, and Forrester will lose the line that was aimed at their younger customers.
So, we saw Hope put Forrester Creations in his rear view as Katie did. And don’t forget, Hope hated that Steffy canceled her line for her own reasons in that whole Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) thing. So much so that Hope helped hold the kingdom Forrester Creations in the founding family.
So, if Hope is willing to steal the Forresters’ company over them kicking her line, yeah, I think she’s definitely going to Logan. And can you imagine how Brooke would react? He would probably accuse Katie of stealing his daughter and Eric’s designs and trademark.
