The Bold and the Beautiful is heating up as Hope Logan reaches a breaking point, and her unraveling pushes her toward a dangerous new path—a path fueled by resentment, heartbreak, and an urge for retribution. After losing nearly everything she cared about, Hope is no longer the patient, gentle presence fans once knew. Instead, she’s standing at the edge of an emotional cliff, ready to strike back at the people she believes contributed to her downfall.

Hope’s spiral begins in Brooke’s home, where both women are barely holding their ground. Their relationship, always complicated, has deteriorated fast. After Steffy fired Hope yet again from Forrester Creations, Hope’s confidence took a major hit. Then, as if the humiliation of losing her fashion line wasn’t enough, she found herself blindsided by Carter. She ended their relationship, accusing him of siding with Ridge rather than standing by her when she needed him most. Between the blow to her career and her romantic implosion, Hope is left feeling abandoned, angry, and betrayed.

Her tension with Brooke only makes things worse. Their argument turns into a vicious, emotional showdown—one filled with accusations, raised voices, and doors slamming. At one point, Hope even lashes out so intensely that Katie steps in to prevent the situation from becoming physical. Brooke finally reaches her breaking point, exhausted by what she calls Hope’s “bratitude”—a mix of frustration, entitlement, and refusal to take responsibility. Despite a brief reconciliation where Hope breaks down crying and Brooke embraces her, the damage is already done. Hope feels judged and unsupported, and Brooke’s insistence that Hope owns up to her mistakes only fuels her bitterness.

Even Carter tried encouraging Hope to look inward and face her role in her own problems. But instead of listening, Hope became furious. Deep down, she knows her life is spinning out of control, but she can’t bring herself to admit it. With her job gone and her relationships fractured, she’s left with too much time and too much resentment simmering beneath the surface. And that’s where the seeds of revenge begin to grow.

Hope’s first possible targets? Carter and Daphne. Though Hope ended things with Carter, she still feels betrayed because she believes he didn’t choose her when it mattered. When Daphne swooped in to comfort Carter—offering sympathy, warmth, and emotional support—Hope saw it as yet another betrayal. It won’t be surprising if she tries to sabotage their budding connection, especially if Carter and Daphne become serious quickly, something Carter is notoriously known for. Engagements, family planning, special events—Hope may try to wreck any moment of happiness they share.

Then there’s Steffy Forrester, a rival Hope has clashed with for years. Steffy’s decision to shut down Hope’s line again—and push her out of the company—has only deepened the resentment. Hope blames Steffy for manipulating the family into turning against her and destroying her career. While Hope may have played a role in her own downfall, she refuses to see it. She’s convinced Steffy wants full control of Forrester, the fashion world, and even the narrative surrounding Thomas. Hope’s revenge here could be both personal and professional, possibly joining forces with Sheila or Luna if it means destabilizing Steffy’s perfect little world.

Ridge is next on Hope’s mental list. From calling her derogatory names to blaming her for Thomas’s struggles, he has positioned himself as another authority figure judging her from above. Hope feels Ridge has always underestimated her, always viewed her as a problem rather than a person. And with Ridge once again breaking Brooke’s heart by choosing Taylor, Hope sees him as part of the larger web of people who dismiss her feelings. Sabotaging Ridge’s upcoming fashion show or interfering in his relationship with Taylor could easily become part of her plan.

And then… there’s Thomas. The most painful name on her list. Hope’s emotional journey with Thomas has been filled with passion, trust, manipulation, healing, and heartbreak. She opened her heart to him in a way she never expected—only to watch him distance himself and allow his family to vilify her. Hope’s desire for revenge here isn’t rooted in hate. It’s rooted in longing, loss, and the need for Thomas to feel the weight of what he gave up. Whether she tries to lure him back or leave him devastated by her absence, her actions toward Thomas will be the most emotionally charged.

Finally, there’s Brooke. Their relationship has reached a point where Hope is no longer willing to live by the standards Brooke places on her. Brooke’s constant guidance, pressure, and interference—particularly regarding Liam and Thomas—has left Hope feeling judged rather than supported. Her pushback against her mother isn’t petty revenge; it’s a demand to be seen as her own woman.

Hope may be standing at the start of a dark road, and unless someone can pull her back, Los Angeles is about to feel the impact of every grudge she has been holding inside.
