In the May 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Hope learned about her future, and it looked grim. Ridge didn’t give Brooke the title of co-CEO of Forrester Creations. Hope placed all her bets on her mom saving her life. It’s time for her to come to a wake-up call: She doesn’t need Forrester Creations to secure her future.
Key Takeaways
- Brooke broke the news to her daughter.
- Hope blamed Ridge for not taking their feelings into account.
- Hope found herself without a future.
Brooke Breaks the News
Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) left the office to speak to Hope (Annika Noelle). She had to break the news to her. She wasn’t going to be co-CEO of Forrester Creations. Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) couldn’t take that title away from his daughter.
Brooke claimed that the Logans still had each other’s backs even though they’re spread out, with Katie (Heather Tom) at Logan. Hope argued that they should both stop settling for scraps. Brooke explained to her daughter that she encouraged Ridge, but Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) would remain as co-CEO.
Hope saw this move as a betrayal. She claimed that the Forresters continue to disregard their feelings. However, Brooke felt that the sacrifice was too much. Hope accused her mother of choosing Ridge over herself and over her own daughter.
Will Hope Lose Everything?
Hope could lose everything. Her future with Forrester Creations is now up in the air since her line doesn’t have a timeline. She’s not sure who she can rely on or trust. But Zende (Delon de Metz) has spoken out on her behalf.
Back at the CEO’s office, Ridge and Zende spoke to Erice (John McCook) and R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti) about the new direction in couture. They all loved Zende’s designs.
But Zende couldn’t help but mention Hope for the Future. Eric admitted that he missed seeing the line being the center of Forrester. Zende wondered how Hope felt about being slighted.
Should Hope Hang Onto Forrester Creations?
Hope made herself believe that she needed Forrester Creations to secure her future. But does she really? She often complains about the lack of support and respect she’s received. Yet, she remains even though she could make moves of her own.
Even Hope’s husband, Liam (Scott Clifton), knows that she’s become attached to Forrester Creations. But if Steffy were to remain as co-CEO, she could become Hope’s waking nightmare. Steffy will probably make sure HTFT never sees the light of day again. Not after her own future was in jeopardy.
Brooke’s news should be Hope’s wake-up call. Nothing else can be done for her. If Hope wants to still make waves in the fashion industry, she will have to step out on her own. But does she have the courage to do so?
