Bold and the Beautiful stuns as Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) slaps Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and then things took a turn for what seemed the better as this week kicked off. But it wasn’t really better. It was trickery. So, Brooke is going to be absolutely livid. She is going to lose it when she finds out that Katie fooled her and that she got played.
We’re going to talk about what Brooke is going to do and how she’s going to react when Katie’s deceit is exposed. And she finds out Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) is working with Katie.
Bold and the Beautiful: Brooke’s Anger Over Katie’s Deceit
All right, at the end of last week, we had Brooke slapping Katie after she referred to Hope as Brooke’s dirty little secret. And yes, that was ugly. But I do want to just bring up a little history because I feel like things are getting lost a bit in this war of words. Accusations are being flung that aren’t always accurate.
So, back when Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) and Brooke cheated and she got pregnant when he was married to Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones), that was Brooke’s dirty secret because she lied, denied, married another man, Whipple Jones, all trying to hide the truth as long as possible. She didn’t plan for it to ever come out. And then Bridget overheard Brooke and Deacon talking on the baby monitor and Bridget exploded and she disowned her mom.
She cut Brooke out of her life. It was a really huge deal. So Katie did speak truth. But at the same time she didn’t need to bring that up at all. So, I think Brooke might blow up just as big as Bridget did when she finds out that Katie went behind her back and recruited Hope.
Bold and the Beautiful: Brooke and Katie’s Broken Deal?
And I’m sure Katie will remind Brooke they made a deal and shook on it. But I don’t think that’s going to help her. I do kind of get Katie’s frustrations with Brooke because she keeps demanding that Katie apologized and that she and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) hoodwinked Eric Forrester (John McCook). That’s just not true. Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) fired Eric, which humiliated his father. So, he went to Katie and told her. He didn’t ask her.
Eric told her that he was going to be Katie’s lead designer for one collection because Eric wanted revenge on Ridge and Brooke. He said that explicitly, word for word. And if Ridge hadn’t finally apologized and took it back, I bet Eric would have walked the runway with Katie and done press interviews, he might have been calling out Ridge for what he did. And honestly, if Eric had done all that, Ridge would have totally deserved it because he did his dad dirty. So that’s down to Eric being mad at Ridge. So, I do think Brooke needs to stop making dishonest accusations about the Eric situation. and that may justify it in Katie’s mind for why she deliberately tricked Brooke this week.
Bold and the Beautiful: The Deal That Got Broken
So, Katie agreed she wouldn’t hire any Foresters. Now Brooke should have been more careful and said instead no hiring from Forrester Creations. But after Katie played nice and said their parents wouldn’t like the way they’re acting, Brooke’s guard was down. But from the moment Katie started acting chill, I knew she was up to something. especially after Brooke had just called Katie a homely introvert.
It was mean and it didn’t need to come out of Brooke’s mouth, just as Katie didn’t need to bring up the Hope being a dirty secret thing. That being said, I don’t think that justifies her misleading Brooke with that deal. I’m starting to think Katie is really turning into Ms. Bill Spencer. I’m not sure he’s a good influence on Katie. And Ridge even mentioned that just the other day.
Katie agreed she wouldn’t hire any Foresters and Brooke and the Foresters wouldn’t hire any Spencers. Katie brought up that Brooke is a self-proclaimed Forrester now and if she’s a Forrester then that makes Hope a Spencer since it’s both by marriage. So, when the truth comes out, whether it’s at the Hope collection debut or sooner, I think Katie is going to point out that she didn’t violate the terms of the deal that they shook on. But I don’t think that is going to save her from Brooke’s wrath.
And I can’t imagine anybody but Bill will approve of the way that Katie misled Brooke. Katie was also pretty sneaky, saying that Logan would be a success and said, “I have hope.” But it was clear that Brooke took that as a noun, not as a name. So, once she finds out Hope’s working for Katie, we’re going to see Brooke ranting about her poaching from Forrester again.
Bold and the Beautiful: Hope’s Role in the Deception
I’m sure she will accuse Katie of stabbing her in the back, specifically targeting her daughter, Hope. And I expect Katie to hit back that like with Eric, if Forrester Creations had treated Hope better, then she never would have walked away. She wouldn’t have ever joined Logan. And yes, it’s true that Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) was the one initially working very hard to convince Hope to come and join Logan. But then while Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) was standing there saying stop, stop, it was Katie who came in at the end with a hard sell.
But still, Hope was angry at Brooke. And she thinks her mom chose Ridge over her. And although Brooke does advocate for Hope, I will agree that Brooke does put Ridge first. She’s got that fixation on destiny and nothing is more important to Brooke than Ridge being in her bed. However, on the flip side of that is the fact that Hope is a whole grown woman. And her career is not her mommy Brooke’s problem on Bold and the Beautiful. And because she is a grown woman, I think Hope needs to own that she’s the one who decided to lie to Brooke’s face about a leave of absence.
Bold and the Beautiful: Lies and Deceit
This whole thing with Hope working for Katie would be so much less sketchy if the two of them were being honest. Hope is lying to everybody. And she feels like it’s justified because she didn’t get her way over at Forrester. So, what I do wonder is when Brooke blows up at Katie and accuses her of stealing Hope, how will Brooke’s daughter react?
Will Hope step up and push back on Brooke and say that this was her choice and it was made. Because of how Steffy and Ridge have treated her or is Hope going to pull that wimpy, weak type of move that Eric did when he didn’t man up and own the choice he made to go over to Katie and to Logan? I don’t think Eric handled it well because it was his choice to work with Katie and Bill. He asked to do it. He actually said he was and didn’t even really ask.
Bold and the Beautiful: The Runway Showdown
So, I expect when Brooke finds out that she will rage at Katie and if Hope owns her choice to come to Logan, I expect that Brooke might turn around and snap at Hope. You know, I think calling her ungrateful for not appreciating what Forrester has given her would be fair to say. I also expect that Brooke might pitch a fit to Ridge and turn around and blame Steffy for running Hope off by disrespecting her, which would be fairly accurate. And if Katie tells Brooke that she stuck to the deal they shook on, I could see her slapping the taste out of Katie’s mouth again.
The soapiest outcome is that Brooke finds out right as Hope’s collection is making its official debut on the Logan runway and Brooke goes running over to see for herself. And then when Katie comes out on the runway after Hope and Deacon take their bow. Then if Brooke slapped her in front of everybody, that would be incredible. And it would be even soapier if Katie slapped her back.
I would love to see a huge Brooke and Katie roll around, slap and choke each other, cat fight with the fashion media there taking pictures and video. It’s been a minute since we had a really good girl fight like that. I think the best one was Stephanie versus Brooke 21 years ago. That was after the reveal that Stephanie had faked her heart attack. That fight with Brooke was so mean and so slaptastic. I would be down to see something just like that. And we may get it right in front of everybody once Katie’s scheming and trickery about hiring Hope comes out and Brooke totally loses it.
