In the May 21 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Katie made a passionate plea for Hope to join Logan. By this point, it was Bill and Liam who were fighting on Hope’s behalf. But now, Katie has seen herself in Hope and wants her to join Logan.
Key Takeaways
- Hope found herself in a hopeless place after Brooke’s news.
- Katie begged Hope to join her at Logan.
- Katie sees Hope and can relate to what she’s going through.
Hope Finally Feels Seen
Hope (Annika Noelle) thought her career would be different this time around. She once had an established line at Forrester Creations. It broke records and generated buzz for its message of ethics, morals, and social responsibility. Now, Hope for the Future might never see the light of day again.
Liam (Scott Clifton) reminded his wife that she didn’t have to settle for less. Hope could have a thriving career at Logan. He quickly caught up with Katie (Heather Tom) and Bill (Don Diamont) on what happened.
Liam mentioned that just because Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) had to keep answering to Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) doesn’t mean that Hope had to anymore. She could join forces with her family instead.
Katie doesn’t want to tear their family apart. But she also didn’t want Hope to feel disrespected. Katie knew what it was like to hide under someone else’s shadow. Someone who called the shots in her career. Katie told Hope that it was time to step away from Steffy’s arrogance.
Hope Navigates Her Future
Hope noticed how nice it felt to be appreciated somewhere. Katie understood where she was. She didn’t want her niece to go through what she experienced in her relationship with Brooke. Even Hope’s own mother couldn’t relate to her struggle, and that hurt her deeply. Hope felt betrayed by Brooke siding with Ridge.
Liam assured Hope that she belonged at Logan. Hope noted that she would join if her brother Deke (Harrison Cone) could join her, should she decide to leave. But there was something important that she had to do first.
Hope had to see where she currently stands with Forrester Creations. She’s not sure where her future lies. She returned to the office to have one final conversation with Steffy.
Where Does Hope Stand?
Steffy told Hope she would consider activating Hope for the Future. She ran over the numbers with Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and they’re not doing well. Steffy backed down on her previous argument that they needed to focus on couture and honor her grandfather’s work.
But that wasn’t enough. Hope needed a timeline for HFTF. She needed to know if she still had a future at Forrester Creations. Will she get the answer that she’s looking for?
Hope knows that she’s been treated poorly. She needs to listen to Liam and Katie about leaving Forrester Creations. It’s time for Hope to move on and get the respect she deserves. Will Katie use Hope’s situation to her advantage? Or will it backfire?
