Dangling a Carrot in Hope’s Face
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) asked to see Hope (Annika Noelle) in her office. Steffy said she already knew what was going on. She wanted to put a stop to it right now. Hope asked what Steffy was putting an end to. Steffy told Hope they needed to be honest with each other.
She wanted Hope to return to Forrester Creations. She thought the sabbatical was a ploy. Steffy announced that they have a couture date penciled in and that later, they could get Hope for the Future ramped up.
Steffy planned on announcing it soon. Hope was shocked by Steffy’s news. But Steffy could tell that Hope wasn’t excited. All this time, Hope assumed that Steffy was trying to blow her off.
Back On Good Terms?
Steffy claimed she wasn’t trying to blow Hope off. They had to focus on couture first. Hope noted that their history would cause her to think that Steffy was blowing her off. In that moment, Steffy declared that Hope’s leave of absence was over.
Hope told Steffy that she couldn’t just invite her back. Steffy explained that she was inviting her back to her home. She wanted to get along with Hope. She considers her as part of her extended family.
Despite their differences, Steffy supported Hope. She felt that they had more in common than they would care to admit. Then, Steffy came in for an awkward hug and welcomed Hope back to Forrester Creations.
Will Hope Finally Quit?
Hope finally got what she wanted in that moment. But it was already too late. She had already moved on. Hope assumed that her line was over.
She told Steffy she wouldn’t allow her to put it back into production this time. There have been too many broken promises. She couldn’t let months of distrust and instability disappear in a flash.
Hope told Steffy there was something she needed to know. Will she tell Steffy that she joined Logan? Or will she use this moment to officially quit Forrester Creations?
