Hope Blames Brooke After Carter Returns FC to Ridge – CBS The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers
The Bold and the Beautiful takes another dramatic turn as a shocking betrayal shakes the Logan family to its core. Hope Logan finds herself in an emotional battle against her own mother, Brooke, after Carter makes the bombshell decision to return Forrester Creations to Ridge and the Forrester family. What should have been a strategic business move quickly spirals into an intense family war, leaving lasting scars that may never heal.
Hope has fought tirelessly to secure her place within Forrester Creations, determined to carve out her own legacy. However, the announcement that Carter has handed control back to the Forrester family leaves her devastated. But what truly shatters her is the revelation that Brooke was the one who convinced Carter to take this step. Feeling blindsided and betrayed, Hope’s devastation quickly transforms into rage.
Unable to contain her fury, Hope confronts Brooke in a heated exchange filled with raw emotion. With disbelief and heartbreak evident in her voice, she demands answers from her mother. “How could you do this to me?” she cries, her eyes burning with betrayal. To Hope, Brooke’s decision isn’t just about business—it’s about loyalty, and to her, Brooke has chosen the Forresters over her own daughter.
Brooke, however, remains steadfast, standing her ground with a composed yet firm demeanor. She insists that this decision was about fairness, not favoritism. She reminds Hope that Forrester Creations was built by the Forrester family and rightfully belongs to them. Brooke argues that despite the tensions over the years, the Forresters have provided both of them with opportunities and a place in their world. “This isn’t about choosing them over you,” Brooke says resolutely. “It’s about doing what’s right.”
But Hope isn’t convinced. To her, Brooke’s defense of the Forresters is just another example of her never-ending obsession with Ridge. With her voice thick with accusation, she lashes out, “You’re not doing this for what’s right—you’re doing this for him!” She reminds Brooke that Ridge once again chose Taylor over her, leaving her heartbroken. And yet, here she is, still fighting his battles, still putting him above her own daughter.
As tensions escalate, Brooke grows frustrated with Hope’s inability to see beyond her anger. “You’re letting your emotions cloud your judgment,” she warns. But Hope refuses to back down, countering, “No, you’re the one who’s blind—blind to how they’ve treated us, blind to how Ridge has treated you!”
The argument reaches its breaking point when Hope, overwhelmed with hurt, accuses Brooke of always prioritizing men—Ridge, Bill, Deacon—over her own family. “You’ve spent your whole life chasing their approval,” Hope says bitterly. “But what about me?”
The confrontation takes a shocking turn when, in a moment of emotional turmoil, Brooke slaps Hope. The room falls silent, the impact reverberating between them. Hope stands frozen in shock, staring at her mother in disbelief. “You hit me,” she whispers, her voice trembling. Brooke, visibly shaken by her own actions, tries to justify it, but the damage is done.
Hope, her eyes brimming with tears, realizes the deep divide between them. With one final glance at her mother, she turns and storms out, leaving Brooke alone, her heart heavy with guilt and regret.
As the dust settles, the fallout ripples across the Forrester family. Ridge finds himself caught between the woman he has loved for decades and a daughter who feels utterly betrayed. Carter, who had never imagined his decision would lead to such destruction, begins to question whether he made the right choice. Meanwhile, Steffy, ever the protector of the Forrester legacy, feels validated by Brooke’s stance but wonders what this fracture will mean for Hope.
And then there’s Liam—watching helplessly as the woman he loves is torn apart by the war between Brooke and the Forresters. He fears what this battle will cost her and whether she’ll ever truly recover from her mother’s ultimate betrayal.
With the Logan family in pieces and Hope’s future uncertain, the question remains: Can Brooke and Hope ever mend their relationship, or has this battle drawn an irreversible line between them? One thing is certain—their lives will never be the same again.
