Bold and the Beautiful: Ridge & Steffy Launch Epic Revenge on the Logans!

Bold and the Beautiful reveals Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) both talked to Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) about her leave of absence from Forrester Creations. And at the same time, Ridge was trash talking Katie Logan (Heather Tom) fashion house to Hope.

Steffy’s going to show up and she’s going to do the same thing this week. And then Hope’s going to be sneaking around with Deacon, skulking in the back door over at Logan while lying to her mom and also to Ridge and Steffy about it. When they do find out, I think Hope may be the target of a revenge scheme.

Hope Blames Steffy For Her Exit on Bold and the Beautiful

So, we just saw while talking to Ridge that Hope blamed Steffy for her leave of absence. And Hope said basically she walked out because it’s about how poorly Steffy treated her. Hope said she’s tired of being strung along and pacified by Steffy while her line stays on halt. And after Brooke and Ridge left, Hope talked to Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) and she seemed even more intent on pursuing their fashion dream over at Katie’s fashion house.

Hope said that she was going to call the new line Hope Logan, but also by the end of the week, Steffy is suspicious about Hope’s leave of absence. So, I’m sure that Ridge is going to go back and tell Steffy what Hope said. And that’s why Steffy is going to go over to Brooke’s house to talk to her.

The Truth is Coming Out on Bold

So, bottom line is that while Hope plans to keep her new job at Logan a secret, obviously, we all know the truth is going to come out. The best case for Katie is that the Forresters won’t know about it until Hope’s new line launches. The worst case is they figure it out way before then.

Either way, Brooke’s going to feel betrayed and Ridge and Steffy are going to be beyond furious. And I think they will want payback on Hope because at that point, she would have been lying to their faces for many weeks and sneaking around with Katie, going behind their backs.

A Potential Revenge Hint From Ridge

And Bold and the Beautiful might have just dropped a hint that Ridge and Steffy may come up with this plot and blindside Hope with an absolutely epic revenge move. While Ridge and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) were talking to Hope and Deke, we saw Ridge insisting that he doesn’t want Hope to feel disrespected and then Ridge was asking her to come back to Forrester Creations soon. But if it wasn’t for Brooke pressing him, I don’t think Ridge would have talked to Hope or ask her to come back. But at the end of that conversation, that was when the red flag dropped.

Ridge said that Hope for the Future would always be part of Forrester Creations. And at face value, that sounds like that Ridge was trying to be reassuring to Hope. You know, he told Brooke’s daughter that she and her line would always have a place at Forrester Creations. But then when Hope was talking to Deke, she said, “Hope for the Future is the past.” And she’s naming her new line at Logan after herself. Just Hope Logan. And as she told Deacon, she’s putting the Forrester family behind her. But Ridge, Brooke, and Steffy don’t know any of that yet because she’s not being honest.

The Forresters’ Potential Revenge Plan on B&B

And once they find out that Katie hired Hope, the Forresters and Brooke are going to be absolutely appalled that Hope would walk away and leave their company, betray them all, and go over to Logan because in their mind, it’s a betrayal. Especially when Hope knows that they all think that Katie and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) are thieves and villains and just the worst. So, I can see Ridge and Steffy in particular wanting to clap back at Hope and get some revenge.

I think what Ridge said could be foreshadowing that thing about Hope for the Future always being part of Forrester Creations. When word gets out that Hope is at Logan, I suspect Steffy and Ridge may get really, really ruthless because don’t forget a couple of critical things. First of all, Forrester Creations owns the trademark on the brand Hope for the Future. She obviously knows she can’t call it that over at Logan.

Second of all, Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) has a full collection ready to put into production for Hope for the Future. And if you recall, he told Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) he worries it’ll never see the light of day. And with Hope gone, you would think that means exactly that. What Zende fears comes true. His designs could be permanently shelved. But maybe not. Maybe they’ll be used for payback on Katie and Hope and Bill.

How Ridge and Steffy Could Strike Back on Bold and Beautiful

Can you imagine if Ridge and Steffy decide to pull a dirty trick once they find out Hope is over at Logan? You know, they can do this payback plan. No matter when they find out, whether the Forresters learn about Hope’s line before or after Katie releases the new official Hope Logan collection, either way, they can still do some sabotage. Steffy and Ridge could release the Hope for the Future collection that Zende designed because they own the Hope for the Future name and they own Zende’s design. So, they could absolutely do it.

They might even think it’s karma that they owe to Bill and Katie because they released the Eric Forrester (John McCook) collection after he left Logan and when Eric was saying he didn’t want them using his designs. So, Steffy and Ridge could release a Hope branded collection after she leaves Forrester Creations, even knowing that Hope wouldn’t want that, wouldn’t consent, just like Eric didn’t. But just as it was totally legal for Katie and Bill to use Eric’s designs and names because of his contract with Logan, you know, same thing. Steffy and Ridge could use Zende’s design with Hope’s name because of the contract she had signed with Forrester Creations.

Steffy & Ridge Steal Hope’s Thunder on B&B

So, Steffy and Ridge might do that to try and steal the headlines from Logan and also to try and keep her fans loyal to Forrester Creations. At a minimum, releasing another collection with Hope’s name on it, either right before or right after her Logan launch would be really problematic. Hope would be furious if Steffy and Ridge reinstated her line after she left, especially because they sidelined her over and over so many times during the last few years. And I think Bill and Katie would be really upset and I think it would amp up the animosity in this fashion rivalry.

The Escalating War on Bold

We know that Bill already wants revenge on Ridge and Brooke and Steffy for how they treated Katie and Hope and now Will. You know, they sidelined them all and drove two of them away, fired the third. And I think if Ridge and Steffy did this, you know, I don’t think Brooke would be on board with it because it would be targeting Hope. However, I’m not sure that they would let Brooke’s disapproval stop them. And of course, they could justify that it was for business reasons so that everyone knows that everything Forrester Creations does is better.

And it would kind of be a repeat of what Ridge and Steffy are doing right now. They’re hustling out a new couture collection by Eric to try and erase the memory of his line at Logan from the public and the fashion press. Just override it, get them to forget it. So yeah, I could see Ridge and Steffy doing the same thing and hustling out that Hope for the Future collection that’s just gathering dust to undermine Hope’s launch at Logan. So if they do this, things might go nuclear, and I think this could be just the beginning. We’ll see what happens.
