The Bold and the Beautiful: Is Steffy and Hope’s partnership over for good?

The latest episode of The Bold and the Beautiful added another notch of anger and misunderstandings between Steffy Forrester and Hope Logan. The two women have already been on the fence on the soap, with many antagonistic feelings and rivalries arising over their romantic partners. Finally, it seems that their issues are set to ruin their business partnership as well.

In the October 30 episode of the show, Steffy walked in on Hope in a compromising position with John "Finn" Finnegan. Given that Finn is married to Steffy, and Hope has tried to seduce him before, Steffy's mind jumped to the obvious conclusion. While Hope failed to clarify the misunderstanding, Steffy fired her from Forrester Creations, in the October 31 episode.

However, it remains to be seen whether Steffy will be allowed to carry through with her decision. Her father, Ridge, will certainly have a say in this matter, and he would not want to sour his relations with Hope's mother, Brooke Logan. Steffy might have to swallow back her words and try to sort matters out with Hope in the coming week.

Why did Steffy fire Hope and discontinue her line on The Bold and the Beautiful?

Steffy has decided to fire Hope, based on a shocking scene that she walked into at Forrester Creations on The Bold and the Beautiful. Hope 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 entered the office to give Steffy her tablet. However, he ran into Hope instead, who tripped and fell over him on the desk. At the same time, Steffy entered the office and angrily asked Hope to get off her husband.

Steffy's anger and misunderstanding are quite understandable since Hope has already kissed Finn once in the past. Therefore, Steffy asked Hope what she was trying to accomplish by seemingly seducing Finn again. Further, she asked Hope who she was wearing lingerie for.

Subsequently, Hope was unable to reveal 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," and she needed to pack up her things and get out of Forrester Creations immediately.

After this announcement, Steffy stormed out of the design office and headed straight to her father Ridge Forrester to tell him about her decision. Ridge was in the main office speaking to Taylor Hayes and Brooke Logan when Steffy entered.

Without any small talk, Steffy announced that she had made the decision to fire Hope. Further, in front of everyone, she asked Ridge to support her decision as the episode ended.
