The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Eric is Hope’s real father, Brooke regrets
“The Bold and the Beautiful” Spoilers: Hope Logan’s True Paternity Shatters the Forresters and Logans
In a storyline bombshell that shakes the very core of The Bold and the Beautiful, the truth about Hope Logan’s paternity has erupted like a fault line beneath the Forester and Logan families.
What began as a routine medical evaluation for Hope—meant to help doctors understand her genetic background amid Liam’s cancer battle—spiraled into a life-altering revelation: Deacon Sharpe is not her biological father. Instead, the DNA points to none other than Eric Forrester.
The ramifications of this truth are seismic. Hope, who has spent her life believing she was the product of her mother Brooke’s scandalous affair with Deacon while he was married to Brooke’s daughter Bridget, now learns her identity was built on a lie.
A second test confirmed the shocking results. With her world crumbling, Brooke is forced to confess the unthinkable—that Hope is the result of a brief, secret liaison with Eric Forrester, a moment Brooke had sworn to take to her grave.
The fallout is instant. Ridge, already dealing with the emotional toll of Liam’s deteriorating health, is blindsided.
To learn that the woman he’s loved for decades and repeatedly reconciled with has kept this explosive secret devastates him. Worse, the betrayal is personal—Eric, Ridge’s own father, fathered a child with Brooke, forever fracturing the trust between them.
Eric himself is stunned. He remembers the night, the vulnerability, but he never knew a child was conceived. Brooke’s decision to let Deacon shoulder the paternity scandal was a calculated move, one she believed would protect everyone. But now, her silence has torn her family apart.
For Hope, this revelation rewrites her identity. She is no longer just Brooke’s daughter or Deacon’s second chance. She is a Forrester by blood—a truth that elevates her status in the family and in the fashion empire.

But not everyone is ready to accept it. Steffy sees the revelation as a threat to her power at Forrester Creations. Ridge emotionally withdraws from Brooke.
Deacon is devastated and returns to dangerous patterns. Even Thomas, who once loved Hope, begins to spiral, resentful that the woman he shares a child with now holds a seat of power he feels should be his.
The boardroom becomes a battleground as Eric offers Hope an executive position. Steffy counters with corporate sabotage. Public scandal erupts. Tabloids scream headlines about Eric’s “secret daughter,” and Hope for the Future becomes a symbol of both renewal and controversy.
But in the midst of the chaos, Eric collapses during a family meeting, his health failing under the emotional weight. At his hospital bedside, the fractured family finds a sliver of unity. Hope leans in, promising to protect the legacy he built.
Hope Logan is no more. She is now Hope Forrester—and as the dust settles, one thing is clear: a dynasty has been reborn. And the storm? It’s just getting started.
