Brooke is accustomed to getting what she wants on The Bold and the Beautiful. However, her plot to become Co-CEO at Forrester didn’t pan out as she expected. Instead of fighting Ridge’s decision, she accepted it. But could she have another trick up her sleeve?
Key Takeaways
- To save Hope’s line, Brooke tried to persuade Ridge to give her Steffy’s Co-CEO position.
- Ridge turned down Brooke’s request because he couldn’t betray Steffy.
- Brooke accepted Ridge’s decision, much to Hope’s chagrin.
- Brooke’s plot to become Co-CEO might not be over just yet.
New Game Plan
Hope (Annika Noelle) has grown frustrated with the lack of respect she’s receiving at Forrester Creations. With Hope’s line being shelved, she decided it was time for a change. Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) reign as Co-CEO should be over, and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) should take her place.
Brooke did all she could to convince Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) to make her Co-CEO. Although Brooke was pretty convincing, Ridge couldn’t hurt Steffy by taking her job away.
As expected, Brooke was upset, but after Ridge explained his reason, she accepted his decision. So, it looks like Steffy will remain Co-CEO and everything will stay the same at Forrester. Or will it?
On a soap opera forum, fans believe that Brooke might be shaking things up at Forrester. “What is Brooke up to? She’s up to something because this is Brooke Logan, we’re talking about. I won’t believe for a minute that she’s okay with the outcome of not becoming Co-CEO,” wrote one poster.
“I feel the same way. Why would Brooke bring it up, complain when it didn’t happen, and now nothing? Something is up for sure,” one fan replied.
“She only did it for Ridge’s benefit and to throw Steffy off while she plots her next move. Steffy is too smart to trust Brooke, so she’ll be on guard,” one viewer commented.
Too Little, Too Late
Brooke is Hope’s biggest supporter and understands how devastating it is to have HFTF shelved. That’s why Brooke might not be done fighting for Hope and the Co-CEO spot.
Since persuading Ridge didn’t work, Brooke will search for other ways. She could convince Eric (John McCook) to reinstate Hope’s line, or she could stage a coup to overthrow Steffy as Co-CEO. Brooke’s secret plot would make for soapy drama, but it might be too late for her and Hope.
Hope’s been contemplating a jump to Logan, and it might happen very soon. Brooke giving up her Co-CEO quest devastated Hope, who felt that it was her only chance to save HFTF. But with Brooke choosing Ridge and Steffy over her, Hope feels it’s time for a fresh start.
However, Hope’s fresh start at Logan might make her feel guilty. Especially, if it turns out Brooke was secretly trying to help her daughter the whole time.
