“I’m sick of the whole thing”- The Bold and the Beautiful storyline with Carter and Hope doesn’t sit well with fans

The Bold and the Beautiful often explores the romantic relationships between many of its characters in the storyline. One of the more recent couples involves Hope Logan and her new flame, Carter. They both strike up an office romance at Forrester Creations.

However, many fans of the soap are unhappy with the relationship and took to the Facebook page "The Bold and the Beautiful Worldwide - Voice of the Fans" to comment on the latest developments between Hope and Carter.

One fan believed that the story is focusing too much on Hope, her failing jewelry line at Forrester Creations, and her hidden romance:

A few fans also referred to the incident where Steffy fired Hope for supposedly trying to sway her husband Finn by changing into a revealing outfit in the office. The dress was meant for Carter, but Hope couldn't reveal as much in front of Steffy:

What happened with Hope at Forrester Creations on The Bold and the Beautiful?

Hope Logan was fired from Forrester Creations, and her line was discontinued due to a misunderstanding. She was in the design office, thinking about her involvement with Carter, as she decided to pick out a silk nightdress that he might like.

While Hope was trying it on, Finn Finnegan entered the office to give his wife, Steffy, her tablet. However, he ran into a half-undressed Hope instead, who tripped and fell over him on the desk. At the same time, Steffy entered the office and saw the state of things. The latter concluded that Hope was trying to seduce her husband again despite all warnings.

Steffy, visibly angry and riled up, asked Hope who she intended to wear the lingerie for and demanded an explanation. Hope could not disclose her involvement with Carter in front of Steffy, so she tried to divert the topic. However, this only angered Steffy further and cemented her belief that Hope was trying to steal Finn from her. Steffy then declared that Hope was "done," she needed to pack up her things and get out of Forrester Creations immediately.

What is the current status of Hope and Carter's relationship on The Bold and the Beautiful?

Hope and Carter have been unable to reveal their office romance to anyone other than her mother, Brooke Logan, on The Bold and the Beautiful. After Hope's firing from Forrester, Brooke decided to speak with Ridge Forrester about their continued private relationship.

However, Ridge was put in a passive position after Taylor Hayes immediately came to her daughter Steffy's side. Taylor argued that Hope had been unprofessional throughout and had even kissed Finn in the past at a party. Taylor defended Steffy's reaction and agreed with Hope being fired and her line being discontinued.

Ultimately, Ridge did not take a concrete stand, trapped between Taylor and Brooke. He told Brooke that the firing was Steffy's decision, not his, and the final call on the matter might be with Steffy after all.
