The Bold and the Beautiful’s Hope did her best to coax answers out of Steffy during the May 1 episode. Hope’s treatment at Forrester Creations is only going to get worse, and it’s time for her to genuinely consider walking away and forging her own path.
No future at FC for The Bold and the Beautiful’s Hope
Hope (Annika Noelle) needs to walk away from Forrester Creations. Her position at the company will never change. Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) was a big factor in Hope’s trepidation on yesterday’s episode, but when push comes to shove, will her mother actually risk another rift with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye)? Not only that, but Brooke and Ridge’s feelings should not be a factor in anyone’s decision-making. Brooke should be championing her sister’s success, and ideally, she’ll do the same for her daughter.
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) claimed that Hope still has a line at the company, but it will never be a priority. All of a sudden, putting Eric (John McCook) back into the spotlight is the grand plan for Forrester Creations, despite his forced retirement a few months ago. Sure, Katie left the company, but working with Eric was HIS choice. Katie didn’t make a cold, calculated move to hurt her sister, but that’s how they treat her for it. They’ll do the same to Hope if she leaves, but for her own integrity, she needs to walk away with her head held high.
Make them regret it
Hope needs to stop mulling over her future and just cut the cord from her mother and join Katie at Logan. She’s never going to be respected there, especially not after what she and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) did last year. Ridge and Steffy are never going to put Hope in any kind of prominent spotlight, and the latter is always ready to push Hope For The Future to the back of the line. Hope should listen to Liam (Scott Clifton), join forces with her aunt, and give Forrester Creations a front-row seat to what they’ve lost.
With Hope’s potential defection, Deke (Harrison Cone) is the most likely candidate to lead her line. The sibling synnergy will be on full display, and they have a golden opportunity to highlight every reason why Ridge, Steffy, and everyone at Forrester were wrong to toss them aside like trash. Hope’s success is the perfect revenge against Steffy, who always looks for a reason to make Hope feel incredibly small. The Forresters believe they are untouchable and rule the fashion world, and in one swift exit, Hope could knock them down a few pegs.
