In a stunning turn of events, *The Bold and the Beautiful* reveals that after a crucial Forrester Creations board meeting, Steffy Forrester has

made a bold decision—she’s firing Hope Logan. As the CEO of Forrester Creations, Steffy holds the authority to make personnel changes, and

despite the personal tensions brewing between them, Steffy’s decision to let Hope go appears to be in line with company regulations. However

, many in the fashion world, as well as those close to Hope, believe Steffy’s actions are driven by something far more personal than just business.

Rumors quickly spread that Steffy is using her position to exact revenge on Hope for kissing her husband, Finn. While the optics certainly point in that direction, Steffy can stand by her decision because it’s technically justified—Hope’s *Hope for the Future* line has been underperforming, and the business can’t afford to keep a failing project afloat. According to Steffy, Hope must face the consequences of her missteps. If she can’t deliver on her vision for the brand, she’s out.

Hope is devastated by this decision. She’s poured years of passion, dedication, and hard work into Forrester Creations, and being pushed out feels like a betrayal of her loyalty. Her personal struggles with Steffy have now bled into her professional life, and Hope is left heartbroken over the idea of leaving the company she’s invested so much in.

However, Brooke Logan, Hope’s mother, is furious. She believes Steffy’s decision is purely retaliatory, motivated by Hope’s brief romantic moment with Finn. Brooke sees this firing as unjust and unreasonable, especially given Hope’s long-term contributions to Forrester Creations. Yes, the *Hope for the Future* line may not have met expectations, but firing a key player like Hope for personal reasons feels vindictive to Brooke. Steffy’s anger over Finn and Hope’s kiss seems to be fueling her decision, and Brooke won’t stand for it.

Brooke has no intention of letting her daughter suffer any longer under Steffy’s thumb. She’s determined to help Hope move on, but she knows that as long as Hope stays at Forrester, Steffy will continue to make things difficult for her. Even if Brooke were able to overturn the firing, Steffy could find other ways to undermine Hope’s success at the company.

In response, Brooke makes a bold move of her own. She approaches Bill Spencer, hoping to secure a position for Hope at Spencer Publications, Forrester Creations’ biggest rival. Brooke believes Spencer Publications, which is also a fashion powerhouse, will offer Hope the opportunity to thrive in a more professional, less hostile environment. Unlike at Forrester, where personal conflicts run deep, Spencer Publications would allow Hope to focus on her career without Steffy looming over her.

Brooke’s decision to bring Hope to Spencer Publications is strategic on many levels. Not only would it give Hope a fresh start, but it also places her alongside familiar faces—most notably, Liam Spencer, Bill’s son and Hope’s former love. Brooke sees the potential for Hope to find stability at Spencer Publications and even wonders if working closely with Liam could reignite the connection they once shared. Will their professional collaboration lead to a romantic reunion? With Hope and Liam now colleagues, sparks could fly once again.

As tensions rise between Steffy, Hope, and Brooke, the stage is set for an explosive battle that could have far-reaching consequences for Forrester Creations and the Spencer family. Will Brooke’s gamble pay off, or will Steffy’s move push Hope and Liam back together, further complicating the already tangled web of relationships in Los Angeles? Only time will tell if this shocking firing leads to redemption or even greater turmoil for the Forrester and Logan families.
