Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers September 17: Steffy’s Ultimatum to Hope

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for Tuesday, September 17, preview that Steffy issues a final demand to Hope that will come as quite a challenge. Is it a business or personal ultimatum that will threaten Hope’s job security at Forrester Creations? Meanwhile, Hope’s mom, Brooke, is getting into it with her rival, Taylor. Will the Logan/Forrester feud never cease? Be sure to stay tuned for the action.

A Final Order

Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) seems determined to make Hope’s (Annika Noelle) life as difficult as possible. Armed with faltering sales figures, Steffy told Hope that her line, Hope for the Future, had to go. If Hope can beg for time to turn it around, Steffy may issue an ultimatum that could be nearly impossible to achieve. She may tell Hope she has a very limited time to achieve a major sales increase, knowing that Hope will fail.

Another possibility is that Steffy will bring personal matters into the office. The co-CEO may tell Hope never to interact with Finn (Tanner Novlan) again — or say goodbye to her job. That may be an even more difficult challenge for Hope. Steffy knows that as long as Hope talks with Finn for even a few minutes on a “friendly” basis, she can influence him. That’s why she is coming down hard on Hope and won’t let up. Will Steffy ultimately usher Hope out the Forrester Creations door in the name of protecting her marriage?

Brooke’s Demand

Since returning to Los Angeles, Taylor (Rebecca Budig) has been cordial to her old rival, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). However, she has also made her negative thoughts about Brooke and her daughter known. The new Taylor speaks with quiet class and confidence, but the undertone of resentment is clearly there. She has already matter-of-factly told Brooke to her face that she doesn’t want Hope interfering in Steffy’s marriage, as Brooke did to her and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye).

Brooke has been doing her best to play nice and avoid heated discussions. She knows what Hope did was wrong. However, she isn’t going to swallow Taylor’s repeated attacks on her character. Brooke demands that Taylor treat her with respect. What happened with Ridge is in the past, and Taylor should try to move on with some grace. Of course, we know Taylor won’t necessarily acquiesce to any personal demands from Brooke, but she may try to keep relations respectful for now.
