Bold and beautiful delivery hope logan (Annika Noelle) staggering when Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) flatly tells Hope that her leave is up and she is expected to return home. Forrester Creations because they are going to relaunch Hope for the future immediately.
However, Hope has obligations to katie logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) in Logan. So basically Hope has been backed into a corner and even though it looks like she’s about to confess to Steffy, I don’t buy it. I think Hope decides to tell more lies.
Bold and Beautiful: Steffy’s Suspicious Offer
Then this week, Steffy told Hope, “Enough of the games.” And she said, “I know what you’re doing.” Then Hope panicked that Steffy would know that she had gone to logan, but Hope played dumb. And in the end, Steffy basically accused her of being up to something. He said Hope took leave to force himself on her. And Steffy told Hope, “It’s okay, you got what you wanted.” Then Steffy told Hope flatly, “It’s time to finish your leave and get back to work.” AND Steffy said they were going make a big announcement in the press about Hope for the future returning to Forrester Creations.
The thing is, I suspect Steffy wasn’t being honest. I think he might actually be testing Hope. The feeling I got watching those scenes is that Steffy knows something is up. He knows Hope is up to something and that this license is incomplete. Since the coup d’état Walton Letter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), we’ve seen Steffy eyeing Hope and she’s suspicious of her, which is understandable. And Steffy knows it Brooke Logan’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) co-CEO move was all a plot by Hope.
Bold and Beautiful: Steffy’s Strange Behavior
So when I was watching those scenes, I thought, hmmm, okay, Steffy is channeling her grandmother, Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery), who was always skeptical of Logan women. And when Steffy told Hope, “Bring it.” And then I hugged her and that’s when I thought, “No way. What is this going on right now?” Steffy and Hope don’t hug stepsisters. I never have been.
So my BS meter was off the charts. And I was thinking, okay, this is crazy writing, which is possible, or Steffy suspects. She, I think, senses that something is wrong with Hope. Things don’t add up. But I don’t think she knows exactly what it is.
Hope’s confession, Cliffhanger and lies in B&B
After Steffy hugged Hope and Steffy said, “I support you,” Hope seemed ready to confess. And he said to Steffy, “There’s something you need to know.” That was the cliffhanger. But honestly, it’s too early and not very soapy for Hope to open up to Steffy right now. Yes, I think Hope should be sincere. I should have quit and made a clean break with Forrester Creations when this all started, but instead he lied to Steffy, Brooke, and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) about being on leave. And that was very doubtful.
And while Hope confessing would be the right thing to do, I just don’t see that happening. I can’t imagine her telling Steffy, “Oh, by the way, I have a new line about to debut on logan, and I signed an agreement with Katie and Bill.” And throughout this entire argument, the look on Steffy’s face was almost like, “Ha, I got you.” But I think Hope will chicken out and instead of confessing, she’ll tell more lies. Just like when she went out and took a leave of absence, instead of telling Steffy and Ridge, “Okay, I’m quitting,” Hope can say that, you know, she’s still working on things and she’s not ready to come back.
She may tell Steffy that she needs more time to sort out her feelings, but nothing Hope says will convince Steffy to take no for an answer. And in the end, I suspect Hope may tell a lot more lies, trying to buy herself a little more time while she sorts things out. Basically, anything to dissuade Steffy so Hope can get out of the CEO’s office and leave.
Bold and Beautiful: Hope’s Strategy and Logan’s Release Plans
there is an official Bold and beautiful spoiler that says Steffy’s offer changes everything and another that says Brooke celebrates a bright future with Hope. So I think you know that Steffy can tell Brooke that it’s okay, Hope will get back together. Forrester Creations. Steffy says, “I told him to terminate his license.”
But at the same time, I think Hope will tell Steffy that she just needs to figure some things out. And I think she’s lazy and then she’ll run away from there. And then Hope is going to run towards logan to talk to Katie and everyone else. Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone), Katie and Bill are waiting. Everyone is worried. And Hope will tell them that Steffy told her to finish her leave and come back.
It’s about to hit the Bold and the Beautiful fan
And I think Katie can encourage Hope to buy time to get to the launch because once Katie reveals that Hope is her new designer, everything will come to light anyway. And that way, Hope won’t have to come clean to anyone. He won’t have to work up the courage to tell Steffy and Brooke what he’s done and how he’s betrayed them. At the same time, I think it’s very cowardly if Hope does it this way and doesn’t come clean and keeps lying. But I think Bill will call it strategy.
But if Hope lies like I suspect she might, then everything will be much worse than if she had simply confessed from the beginning. He should have told Steffy, Ridge and Brooke the truth. Or you know, Hope might have said Steffy when she decided to reactivate her line this week.
So if things go this way and Hope lies more to Steffy and Brooke by simply lying to their faces, it will obviously make everything worse. And we already know that Hope won’t walk away from logan because we have seen a leaked video of Brooke on logan going crazy with Katie.
And while that’s happening, Hope hides behind the screen and basically cowers in fear while Brooke rages at Katie. So that means Hope doesn’t tell Steffy or Brooke would already know the truth about who her new designer was and Hope would have warned Katie.
Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy’s Suspicions and Launch Showdown
But I think Steffy is going to do the math because Brooke told her that Katie can only hire Spencer, not Forrester. And of course, Steffy hoped Hope would be thrilled with the return of her line. And Hope not taking advantage of the opportunity to return to work will make Steffy more suspicious. She told Hope that Forrester Creations wants to announce Hope for the future is back.
And let’s say that Steffy actually believes this and doesn’t find out. If they publish that in the press and then Hope ends up launching into logan, that will absolutely humiliate the Foresters, it will be as bad or worse than when it was revealed that Eric Forrester (John McCook) was debuting a line in Logan. Only, of course, he backed out at the last minute and didn’t walk the runway with Katie like Eric promised he would.
Too little too late to hope for B&B
But I think Hope isn’t going to back down just because Steffy gave her line the green light. Of course, giving him the green light doesn’t erase all the times Hope felt disrespected, that Steffy put her line on hold and basically laughed in her face and exerted her power. So I think if Hope tells more lies, it will be a much bigger betrayal when she and Deke make their debut and walk the runway with the Hope for the future diamond on her and are thanking Katie and Bill.
So, it could be Steffy who encourages Brooke. and that’s why she comes closer confront Katie and demand to know who her designer is. Steffy may suspect that Hope defected to logan, but I don’t think Brooke is going to believe her precious daughter would ever do that. And maybe that’s why Brooke comes to confront Katie.
So I think if Steffy ends up suspecting Hope defected, I think Brooke will hope she’s wrong. But Katie’s not going to confess and I don’t think Hope will either. That means we’ll probably have a big showdown in the Hope for the future is thrown during sweeps and may actually coincide with Eric’s throw and could be because Bill and Katie are planning to rob Forrester Thunder, but I anticipate more lies, not a confession.
