Hope struggles to fight her own battles, especially when it comes to Steffy on The Bold and the Beautiful. She tried to go up against Steffy, but failed. Instead of speaking her mind, she resorted to making snide remarks about Steffy under her breath. Liam pitched an idea to Hope: for her to leave Forrester Creations for Logan, but she decided to stay and have Brooke fight the impossible battle.
Key Takeaways
- Hope feels that her battle with Steffy is impossible.
- Steffy refuses to give Hope the answer that she needs about HFTF.
- Hope thinks her mom would make a better co-CEO, but she’s only using her for her own benefit.
Is Brooke Better-Suited to Run FC?
Hope (Annika Noelle) encouraged her mom, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), to pursue the co-CEO position at Forrester Creations, currently held by Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). If Brooke is successful, Steffy will be ousted from her role, shaking up the Forrester family dynamics.
Hope is only using her mother to fight a corporate battle she cannot win alone. She feels sidelined by Steffy, who has refused to provide a timeline for relaunching Hope For The Future. The line has been pushed back countless times, all for various reasons.
Right now, Steffy and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) want to pour all of their assets into couture to honor Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) work and legacy. This decision comes on the heels of Logan’s debut collection, featuring Eric’s designs.
Is Hope Using Her Mom?
Hope has struggled to battle Steffy. During their first meeting, Steffy informed her that Hope for the Future would be pushed back again. She asked Hope to get her hands dirty and help with their couture collection.
But Hope wanted to know why her line was pushed back again. The line has been ready to go since last year, after Zende (Delon de Metz) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) returned to work together on it.
Instead of being an effective leader who has a clear timeline for the relaunch of HFTF, Steffy refused to give Hope what she wanted. This made Hope feel as if Steffy didn’t want her line to see the light of day ever again. Hope thinks Steffy’s decision is more personal than business.
Liam (Scott Clifton) wanted Hope to join Logan, where she could have total control of a whole new line that’s all her own. But instead of jumping ship, Hope tried to manipulate the situation by using Brooke to use her influence over Ridge to take control at Forrester.
Hope got into her mom’s head and encouraged her to pursue the co-CEO position. One reason Hope became her mom’s hype woman is so she can get what she wants: for HFTF to launch. But should Hope be using her mom, or should she fight her own battles?
