In the May 11 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Katie told Donna that Hope could join Logan. Donna resoundingly told her not to follow through with the idea. Then, she accused Katie of using Hope to secure her own future. Katie needed another big name that would draw attention to her fashion house. But is it worth the divide that it would cause in their family?

Key Takeaways

Katie Considers Hope Joining Logan

Back at Spencer Publications, Katie (Heather Tom) confessed to Donna (Jennifer Gareis) that she’s open to the idea of Hope (Annika Noelle) joining Logan. Donna brought up the idea of a daughter betraying her own mother like that.

Katie would be the result of that. But Katie didn’t see it as a betrayal. She felt that it was different this time around. Donna argued that Hope should stay at Forrester Creations, where she belonged with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang).

Katie explained that it was Liam’s (Scott Clifton) idea. He could sense the lack of respect that his wife had received at Forrester Creations. He wanted to see her flourish with another fashion house. But Donna already assumed that Hope had too much self-respect to bow down to Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).

Donna Accuses Katie of Using Hope

Donna didn’t care about Liam’s feelings on the matter. She felt that it was a crazy idea, no matter who came up with it. She gave her sister a resounding no. It’s crazy to tear a mother-and-daughter team apart like that.

According to Donna, there was no other option for salvaging Hope’s concerns. Hope leaving Forrester for Logan would be a recipe for disaster. Donna teased a possible vendetta about Brooke and Bill (Don Diamont).

She then wondered whether Katie was using Hope to secure her own future. Katie had no one else to turn to after Eric (John McCook) left. How was she able to top the well-renowned designer?

What Will Katie Decide?

Katie said she needed another big name to join her company. Donna mentioned that her relationship with Brooke should take priority over her company’s success. She felt that her sister was trying to justify her decision to have Hope join Logan.

Donna felt that Hope’s situation was different from Eric’s. Katie had her doubts, and she had a point. Eric walked away from Forrester Creation because he was pushed out.

Now, Hope feels that her line and her future are on the chopping block. But does that mean she should leave FC and join Logan? Will Katie heed Donna’s advice? Or is she willing to test the waters of the already shaky Logan family dynamics?
