It wouldn’t be an episode of The Bold and the Beautiful if a Logan and a Forrester weren’t fighting each other. And sometimes, people say things in the heat of a moment that they might not utter if they had time to analyze their words more carefully. Instead, they open their mouths and, in some cases, leave us gaping at what comes out.
That was definitely the case when Hope was trying to save her fashion line during the episode that aired on Monday, June 3.
It’s no secret that these two ladies aren’t exactly best friends. Of course, they’ve had the periodic ceasefire, during which they reflect on how much easier life is when they’re getting along. But like Brooke and Taylor before them, any declared truces are inevitably temporary.
This week, Hope is doing everything in her power to convince Steffy that she shouldn’t cut the Hope for the Future fashion line. The blonde pointed out the irony of her boss/rival using declining sales to defend the cut when it was Steffy who convinced head designer Thomas to skip town. Hope also rightly pointed out that Zende, RJ, and Luna – fresh from helping Eric create a killer collection – are doing everything they can to make up for the gap at HFTF.
Valid points one and all.
But then, on Monday, she argued that… well, that just doesn’t hold up. Worse still, it’s the kind of thing you’d expect an entitled person to say, with or without the self-awareness to realize how entitled they seemed.
In Hope’s case, her argument was that her line should be saved because of her mother’s contributions to the company.
Many viewers were perfectly willing to give Brooke credit for playing a very important role in Forrester’s success – especially when it came to her inventing the BeLieF formula. But they balked at the idea that Brooke’s achievements meant Hope should be allowed to continue her line of profit-making.

Brooke has been an integral part of Forrester’s success, much more so than Steffy, yes.Steffy is making a professional decision about Hope’s parentage, yes.
Hope is acting like a whiny brat and making everything personal, yes.
Conclusion: Shut up, hope

“Er…did she really just say that?” Steffy asked.

Others pointed out that Hope was being completely disrespectful by suggesting that the Forresters in general and Steffy in particular had, in essence, done nothing to keep the company profitable in recent years.
What does Brooke’s bedroom line have to do with Hope’s failed company? The way this little girl talks to her BOSS is enough to get her fired. #Boldandbeautiful pic.twitter.com/ePmBbrIFPa

However, a battle like this cannot be fought without both sides having supporters. In this case, many pointed out that it was Steffy who managed to wrest control of Forrester Creations from Bill – who bought it when Eric defaulted on his loans – by blackmailing the Spencer patriarch.
Last time I checked, if it weren’t for Steffy, Forrester Creations would have been sold because Bill had most of the shares in the company that he was going to sell to someone else, so Hope, Brooke, Eric and the other Logan sisters should be thanking to her!!! 😡😤 #BoldandBeautiful

Ultimately, it was decided that Hope’s line would be given a quarter to improve its numbers or be cut. That, however, wouldn’t mean the Logans are no longer part of the company, especially with Ridge ready to make Brooke the kind of offer that will make her a power player… and will no doubt see her once again going head to head with Steffy!
