In the emotional scenes captured below, we see Katie once again stepping in to comfort Hope — but is this the right time for sympathy?
Hope has always had someone clearing the path for her, whether it was her mother, Brooke, or her aunt, Katie. Katie handed her the HFTF line not because Hope earned it, but as payback against Steffy for catching Bill’s eye. And now? Hope’s reckless power grab with Carter has cost Brooke the love of her life — Ridge.
She didn’t stop to think about the consequences. She didn’t care how it would affect her mother, Eric, or Ridge. All she wanted was to defeat Steffy, to take control, and to WIN — no matter who got hurt in the process.
And now that the dust is settling, Hope is standing alone. Brooke has zero sympathy for her. Not after what she’s done. And on Monday, Carter finally puts his foot down. He’s done following Hope’s lead.
Katie may be babying her, but it’s time for tough love. Hope betrayed her family, disrespected Eric and Ridge, and encouraged Carter to take over Forrester Creations. Why should they keep her around?
Judgment day has arrived — and Brooke is not coming to her rescue.
Is Katie enabling Hope’s downfall by coddling her instead of holding her accountable for betraying the Forresters and destroying Brooke’s future with Ridge?
