Looks like Hope is all alone on De-Lu-Lu Island in The Bold and the Beautiful

Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) thought she was at the top of her game after she and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) orchestrated a power shift at Forrester Creations. But now, her world is crashing down, and it seems like she’s the only one still holding onto the fantasy.

Hope was in for a rude awakening during the February 14 episode. While the jewelry launch was a smashing success and seemed to solidify Carter’s leadership, his conscience is getting the best of him. The pressure from Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) has been relentless. Brooke, determined to make Carter see the error of his ways, has been chipping away at his resolve, while Daphne (Murielle Hillaire) has abandoned seduction in favor of guilt-tripping him.

It’s working.

During what should have been a celebratory moment, Hope encouraged Carter to take pride in the launch’s success. Instead, he reminded her that it was Eric (John McCook) and Ridge who originally approved Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) for the collection—not them. Then came the bombshell: Carter suggested they step down while they’re ahead. For Hope, this was a nightmare come to life. She had been riding high, basking in her newfound authority, and relishing the fact that Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was powerless to stop her. But Carter’s sudden doubts threatened to bring her crashing back to reality.

Hope had convinced herself that this was her moment—that after years of disrespect, she had finally claimed her rightful place at Forrester Creations. But the truth is undeniable: they didn’t earn the company; they took it. Hope has been strutting around like she owns Forrester Creations, when in reality, she had no real hand in the takeover—Carter did. It was his plan, conceived long before Hope ever became involved.

Now, as Carter reconsiders their future, Hope is spiraling. She’s not just upset about his hesitation—she’s terrified. If Carter gives the company back to Ridge, her entire dream shatters in an instant. Watching her scramble to justify their actions will only reinforce what Steffy has been saying all along: that Carter was manipulated by Hope’s ambitions.

Hope’s time on De-Lu-Lu Island is coming to an end, and when the dust settles, she might find herself completely alone. Everyone around her is beginning to see the truth, leaving her isolated in her delusion. With the tides turning against her, will she accept reality, or will she double down on her crumbling fantasy? Stay tuned to The Bold and the Beautiful to find out how it all unfolds.
