- Steffy recalls Hope’s role in the coup attempt.
Logan’s News Gets Back to Forrester Creations
Hope (Annika Noelle) unveiled herself as the visionary and face behind Logan’s new brand. She walked out wearing a black-and-gold evening gown and the Hope For The Future diamond, marking the start of a new era in her career.
The audience roared the moment she walked onto the runway. Meanwhile, jaws dropped at Forrester Creations. Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) couldn’t believe what she witnessed. None of them could.
But Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) wasn’t as surprised. She knew that Hope had been waiting for this moment most of her life. Donna (Jennifer Gareis) tried to defend Hope, but Steffy interrupted her and called Hope a traitor for joining Logan.
Going Back to the 2024 Coup Attempt
Brooke was still in disbelief. Her daughter was now working with her sister. Steffy felt that it was believable. She brought up Hope’s role in the coup attempt and how she stabbed everyone in the back, including her own mother.
But Hope isn’t totally to blame for the coup attempt. Arguably, Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) came up with the idea when he asked Steffy and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) to sign the contract. At the time, he felt that he wasn’t being valued as a colleague and employee.
Carter considered forging Ridge and Steffy’s signatures so he could hand their company over to himself. Then he ran the idea by Hope, who encouraged him. While Carter is solely at fault for what happened, Hope still bears the brunt of the blame.
Did Hope Betray Forrester Creations?
Steffy argued that Hope only thinks of herself. She doesn’t believe Hope knows how the fashion world works, even though Hope has worked in the industry for years.
All this time, Steffy assumed that Hope would stay at Forrester Creations because she had nowhere else to go. But now, she realized that Hope was a traitor all along and was willing to ditch Forrester in a heartbeat.
But does that necessarily make Hope a traitor? She didn’t want to sit on the sidelines and wait for HFTF to be picked up again. She had to move ahead with something fresh, new, and exciting.
Did Hope’s career risk pay off? Or did she make the biggest mistake of her career? Logan’s sales will reveal the truth.
