On The Bold and the Beautiful, May 7, Brooke made a shocking revelation. She told Hope that she’s felt lost about her role at Forrester Creations. She could see herself in the co-CEO role, currently held by Steffy. Hope convinced her mom that she could go after Steffy’s position, so HFTF would finally get the green light. Yet, this bold move could change Brooke’s dynamic with Ridge.
Key Takeaways
- Hope encouraged Brooke to go after Steffy’s co-CEO position.
- Hope hasn’t been happy with the dynamics at Forrester Creations, especially regarding her line.
- Hope wants her mom to fight her battles, and Brooke is willing to do so.
- Brooke might push Ridge to choose between her and his daughter.
Hope Needs a Little Push
Hope (Annika Noelle) hasn’t received a satisfactory response from Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). Steffy won’t give her a timeline for Hope for the Future’s relaunch. Instead of jumping ship and joining Logan, Hope needed another ally: her mom.
Hope told Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) that she’s exhausted and drained from the office drama. She insisted that Steffy was killing Hope to ruin the Future’s chances of success. She was worried about her career and thinks her mother should be too.
Brooke said she has to keep the peace. She can’t make Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) choose between her and Steffy. Even though Brooke is content with her position at Forrester Creations, she admitted that she’s felt lost lately.
Hope comes up with the idea of her mom replacing Steffy’s co-CEO position. She begged her mom to reconsider the position she previously held. Hope hated seeing her mom become a shell of her former self. Brooke was inspired by Hope’s passionate plea.
Brooke’s Next Move Could Backfire
Brooke is suddenly on board with Hope’s plea to replace Steffy as co-CEO of Forrester Creations. This idea only came up because Hope was disappointed that her line was once again on the back burner. It took some convincing on her part since Brooke was content with the way things had been run at Forrester Creations.
She was also fine with FC shifting the focus to couture after Logan’s success with Eric’s (John McCook) designs. But now, Brooke believed that she was deserving of that position. She will put Ridge in a position where he must choose between his wife and his daughter.
It will also change her dynamic with Ridge. For the most part, she’s been supportive of all of his decisions. She’s offered little to no opinion of her own. She agreed with the executive decisions made recently.
What will happen if Ridge doesn’t agree to Brooke’s idea? She could also find herself in a difficult spot. This could cause her to leave and join Katie’s (Heather Tom) fashion house, Logan. The two want to work on their relationship, and this could kick it into high gear.
