Steffy fires Hope after discovering a terrible secret The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers

On The Bold and the Beautiful, the fragile truce between Hope Logan and Steffy Forrester has crumbled spectacularly under the weight of deception, ambition, and emotional manipulation.

What began as a surprising alliance forged in mutual concern for Liam Spencer’s declining health has now been exposed as a thin veneer masking deep-seated betrayal.

Hope and Steffy’s reconciliation had stunned both families. In a moment that seemed genuine, Steffy welcomed Hope back to Forrester Creations, even giving her a second shot at reviving the struggling Hope for the Future line.

Their uneasy peace was celebrated by some — and viewed with skepticism by others, especially Brooke Logan, who sensed something wasn’t quite right.

Behind the scenes, Hope and Carter Walton were engaged in a secret plan to take control of Forrester Creations.

Despite their romantic engagement — accelerated so that Liam could witness the wedding — it has become clear Hope’s motivations were entangled in both personal sentiment and ruthless ambition. Unaware of the full truth, Carter was elated by Hope’s acceptance, believing their future together was built on trust, not treachery.

But Steffy’s world was rocked when she overheard Hope and Carter conspiring once again to seize the company.

The revelation left her stunned and heartbroken, realizing that Hope’s return to Forrester was part of a larger corporate strategy — not a sincere effort at reconciliation. Feeling deeply betrayed, Steffy decided to terminate Hope’s employment.

Carter, however, has been offered one final chance: choose between his loyalty to Hope and his future with Forrester Creations.

The decision now hanging over Carter’s head could alter the course of both his professional career and romantic relationship. His next move may determine whether Hope has any support left within the company — or if she’ll face her downfall alone.

Meanwhile, danger brews elsewhere in the Forrester family as Luna’s dark obsession with claiming her place in the family escalates.

Tensions rise when Will Spencer and Electra share a passionate moment at the design office, only to be interrupted by Ridge Forrester. His reaction is surprisingly warm, but the tone shifts when the conversation turns to Luna’s erratic behavior.

Electra, having confronted Luna previously, remains a fierce protector — a trait Ridge admires

. However, Will issues a dire warning about Luna’s instability, especially with Luna and her grandmother Poppy now tied to the Forresters by blood. As Ridge acknowledges, these connections are dangerous and can’t easily be undone.

At the cliff house, Finn faces an emotional standoff with Luna, who pleads for acceptance based on their shared DNA.

But Finn, torn between blood ties and moral responsibility, refuses to forget the harm she caused Steffy. When Luna blames Steffy for driving a wedge between them, Finn’s powerful rebuke makes it clear: his loyalty lies with his wife, not his past.

With tensions boiling over, Steffy issues a final ultimatum — Luna must leave. The fallout from these betrayals and confrontations promises explosive consequences in the episodes ahead.
