Hope’s biggest obstacle on The Bold and the Beautiful isn’t Steffy or Brooke. It’s her guilt and fear of deceiving her mother, Brooke. It’s also become clear that she lacks self-confidence and is just using her mother as an excuse. Hope could be the one person who gets in the way of her own future.
Key Takeaways
- Up to this point, Steffy and Brooke seemed like the biggest obstacles to Hope’s success.
- However, Hope has been the biggest obstacle to her own success.
- Hope isn’t sure if she can follow through with unveiling her new line with Logan.
Getting In Her Own Way
All along, it was assumed that Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) were Hope’s (Annika Noelle) biggest obstacles. Steffy prevented Hope for the Future from getting its moment.
She sidelined the line numerous times, mostly because the numbers didn’t do well. Most recently, Steffy felt that Forrester Creations needed to pour all of its assets into couture instead.
They wanted to honor Eric’s (John McCook) legacy, especially after his brief stint with Logan. This put Hope in a difficult situation. She feared that HFTF would never see the light of day again, so she joined Logan.
However, Hope has struggled to keep this secret from her mom, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), who advocated on her behalf. Hope wondered what kind of daughter she was.
She feels that she’s betraying her own mom by leaving Forrester Creations for Logan. As the days go on, Hope isn’t sure if she can follow through with the launch of Hope by Logan.
Will Hope Have Cold Feet?
On Thursday’s episode, Hope was terrified of the impending launch. She knew that the truth would devastate Brooke.
After awkwardly running into Brooke and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Hope confessed to Liam (Scott Clifton) that she couldn’t go through with this. To make matters worse, Katie (Heather Tom) and Bill (Don Diamont) deliberately scheduled the Logan fashion launch right before Eric’s highly anticipated couture show.
This will set the stage for a massive upheaval in the Logan family in the first week of July. Rather than excitement, Hope feels sick to her stomach about going through with this moment.
She can’t think of anything else but her mom’s reaction. But Hope doesn’t realize she’s the biggest obstacle to her success. She’s using Brooke as an excuse for her low self-esteem and lack of confidence.
As Katie told Hope earlier this week, she needed to believe in herself. She has a whole family who is already backing her. Hope needs to gain self-confidence and step out of Brooke’s shadow.
