Bold and Beautiful: Hope Has Every Right to Quit Forrester Forever – The Shocking Truth Revealed!

Bold and the Beautiful just saw Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) having a crisis of confidence and she considered abandoning Logan because Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) threw her a bone.

I’ve seen on soap social media fans wondering if Hope’s going to do like Eric Forrester (John McCook) did and run back to Forrester Creations with her tail between her legs. But I don’t think that is going to be the case for Hope. I think it’s not going to be like Eric.

We’re going to talk about exactly why Hope should stick with Logan and put Forrester in her rear view and never ever look back.

Bold and the Beautiful: Hope’s Crisis and Her Future

So, we just saw Hope in an absolute panic after Steffy Forrester said, “Your leave of absence is now over. It is time for you to come back to work, Hope.” And Steffy revealed that she had given the green light to relaunch Hope for the Future now that Eric’s big couture launch is set for this next week ahead. But Hope froze and she freaked out. She didn’t know what to say and she nearly confessed to taking the new job at Logan.

But then Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) burst into the room and Steffy told her the news about Hope for the Future and Brooke basically took over the conversation with all her exclamations of delight and Hope just ran right out. She bailed on Steffy and Brooke and she hustled back to Logan where Katie Logan (Heather Tom), Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone), and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) had all been waiting and worrying.

And as Hope started spiraling, Katie talked her down. But Hope is sick. She’s just feeling like she’s betrayed her mom, Brooke. I don’t think Hope cares if she betrays Steffy and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), but Hope definitely feels bad about how she knows her mom’s going to react. And this week, Brooke marches over to Logan and makes a scene with Katie, and that’s going to freak Hope out all over again. But when the dust settles, I do expect to see her sticking with team Logan all the way.

Bold and the Beautiful: Why Hope Should Stay at Logan

Staying loyal to Katie and Bill and Liam makes sense, a lot more sense than going back. And to be honest, I think that’s exactly where Hope belongs at Logan for several reasons. Let’s dive into why she should walk away and never ever consider returning to Forrester Creations.

So, the first reason that Hope should stay at Logan and forget the Foresters is because Steffy will always see Hope as less than because she is anti-Logan. So many times over the last few years, Steffy has insulted Hope, slapped her down at work, and yanked her line away. And it felt personal. It felt like punishment at times. And Steffy made Hope fire her brother Deacon and then stuck her with Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz), who weren’t delivering the vision that she wanted.

Bold and the Beautiful: Hope Means Nothing to Steffy

Steffy doesn’t care one bit about how Hope feels. She doesn’t care about Hope for the Future. And even though they did have a brief friendship when Liam was supposedly dying, that’s over. And now what’s weird is we’re seeing Steffy do this pivot. She had been clapping back at Hope. You know, Steffy would refuse to give a timeline whenever Hope asked when her line would return.

And now here’s Steffy telling her, “Bring it in.” And she’s hugging Hope, not once, but twice in the same conversation. It’s weird. And I think Steffy’s up to something because she really just doesn’t like Hope. Remember when Steffy first shelved her line? She was bashing Katie in front of Hope. She’s done that several times. She was all with the anti-Logan talk, the stealing, betraying, thief stuff.

Steffy has always been anti-Logan, though, and I don’t think that’s ever going to change. So, why should Hope subject herself to Steffy’s insults and attitude? She shouldn’t. She should walk away.

Bold and Beautiful: Ridge’s Betrayal and Painful Memories

Another thing to consider is the unforgivably ugly things that Ridge said to Hope during the coup she pulled with Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). And yeah, Hope and Carter stealing the company was wrong, but Ridge called Hope the B word. He said nobody likes her and then he made her do a walk of shame after firing her. Mind you, this is the same Ridge who raised Hope as his own child for many years. And yet Ridge thought it was okay the way he spoke to her. Ridge has never ever apologized to Hope that I can recall. I think he might have said something to Brooke like, “Oh, maybe I shouldn’t have said that.” But Ridge clearly doesn’t care about Hope or none of that would have come out of his mouth to start with.

Another huge consideration on why Hope should stay right where she is at Logan is about her brother Deke. If Hope bails on Logan and goes back to Forrester Creations, she’ll really be screwing Deke over and taking away his dream. And yeah, there’s a chance that Katie might keep Deke on without Hope being there. But she loves working with her brother.

Hope & Deke Thrilled to Be Working Together on B&B

And after Steffy made her fire Deke before and she crushed him once already. I just don’t see Hope doing that to her brother Deke again. She doesn’t even like Forrester. There’s only one reason that Hope is considering backing out on the deal at Logan. The only reason she’s considered going back to Forrester is old bad habits and just not wanting to ruffle Brooke’s feathers.

Dekr and Hope love working together and they’ve done great things already. And the sole reason to go back to Forrester is Brooke. And really, she should want Hope to be where she’s happy. And Brooke knows at the end of the day, Steffy makes Hope miserable. And Ridge isn’t great with her either. And Hope doesn’t want to work with Thomas. So, Brooke should tell Hope, “Do what makes you happy. Follow your dream.”

Bold and the Beautiful: Fresh Start at Logan vs. Emotional Baggage at Forrester

Now, another reason why I think that Hope should stick with Liam and her Spencer in-laws and forget Forrester Creations is all the bad memories there. So, many bad memories. Working with Steffy every day has been no walk in the park for Hope. Not one single day. And aside from work stuff, they have fought over Liam several times. And that rivalry got dragged back into the office.

And then there was all the ugly stuff with Thomas on and off over the years. So many times that Hope felt marginalized by Steffy. Plus, she will always be seen by the Forresters as the one they blame for the coup. They don’t blame Carter, you know. There’s also those creepy memories of Thomas going nuts with the Hope mannequin. There’s just so much emotional baggage for Hope at Forrester Creations.

Bold and the Beautiful: Hope Deserves a Fresh Start

Meanwhile, over at Logan, it is a fresh start with her extended family. No judgment, no guilt, no being talked down to. It’s just a supportive environment where Hope isn’t just tolerated. She is wanted and she is embraced. And the last thing to consider in the Logan versus Forrester decision is that the road to her dream is wide open at Logan. At Forrester, she would continue to have to fight tooth and nail with Steffy constantly to keep her line going.

Meanwhile, Katie and Bill invested heavily in her and at the same time gave her creative autonomy. It is a whole different vibe than it is at Forrester, a much better one for her at Logan. And it’s intentional because Katie also felt marginalized at Forrester. Brooke and Ridge brought in outside PR people if you remember and they just started taking over a good chunk of Katie’s job. They didn’t even ask her about it. They just did it and then Ridge and Brooke told her it was the best thing for her.

Bold and the Beautiful: The Cost of Going Back

So, if Hope caved and went back to Forrester Creations simply because Brooke guilted her into it, I think that would be a much worse outcome. Not only would Hope be the girl who did the coup, but she’ll then also be seen as the betrayer, the one who lied and snuck off, saying it was a leave of absence while she was over at Logan. And I do agree that Hope was completely wrong to do it that way.

She should have just told Steffy and Ridge, “I quit.” And then walked out, head held high, keeping it classy. Giving her notice by walking the runway at Logan is a pretty sketchy way to quit your job. I will say that. But at the same time, in the end, Hope quitting Forrester Creations, however it happens, is the best thing for her long term. And I think Logan is where she will thrive.
