The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers: Will Steffy face backlash over her decision to fire Hope Logan?

Steffy Forrester fired Hope Logan over a misunderstanding on The Bold and the Beautiful. The CEO of Forrester Creations had asked Hope to stay away from her husband, Finn. However, a freak accident led to Hope falling on Finn, a scene that Steffy stumbled upon, leading to the latter firing Hope from the company.

As a quick reminder for newly introduced viewers, The Bold and the Beautiful is one of the long-running, popular American daily soaps that premiered in 1987 and airs on CBS every weekday. The soap's storyline involves relationship equations and interconnection between the central family of the Forresters with the Logans and the Spencers.

Steffy Forrester and Hope Logan have a long-standing rivalry, which is one of the main story arcs since their teenage. However, this round, Steffy seems to have gone too far in her reaction. She may face retaliation from many angles, including Hope's boyfriend, Carter, and other employees in the company.

The Bold and the Beautiful: Who is likely to react to Steffy's rigid decision?

In a momentary kneejerk response, Steffy fired Hope without bothering to evaluate the real incident in which she found the latter with her husband. However, she convinced Ridge Forrester to support her while overlooking Eric Forrester's opposition.

As expected, Brooke Logan did not like the situation and complained to Eric about Steffy's stand. Also expected is Carter Walton's anger. The company's CFO is already upset about his thwarted business proposition. Moreover, he was fighting to keep Hope's design line, Hope for the Future, alive. With Hope getting fired, the design line also went along with his budding office romance.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal Zende Forrester asking Steffy about Hope's exit from the company. He later informed the CEO that her decision has had a wider effect on the company, hinting at a larger backlash for the management decision.

How may Steffy's decision affect The Bold and the Beautiful storyline?

There is no doubt that Steffy Forrester took a hard stand when firing Hope. Carter Walton, who is a lawyer, may realize that the action was wrong and end up bringing a legal twist to the scenario. He may convince Hope to sue the company's CEO for the illegal move.

Alternatively, he may leave the company and join Hope in a joint business as a rival of Forrester Creations. Since he knows the financial secrets of the company, he may be in a good position to manipulate the knowledge. The duo may get Brooke Logan to finance the new company.

Brooke Logan was taken aback by Steffy's corporate decision, and she complained to Eric Forrester about the same. However, she did not expect Ridge to back Steffy against her daughter, Hope. As such, Ridge and Brooke may be heading towards a split due to The Bold and the Beautiful's current plot dynamics.

Steffy's unplanned move may have a larger repercussion than the CEO expected. As Hope said before, the Logans are equal contributors to Forrester Creations as the company's titular family. With Brooke's sisters also part of the company, things may turn more ugly than anticipated. Moreover, Zende and others in the company are not going to be happy about Steffy's stand.

Whether the furor over Hope's departure will bring Hope Logan back into the company or whether Hope will rival Forresters with a new business remains to be seen. Also, whether Ridge and Brooke are headed towards a rift that may bring Taylor an opportunity to get back with her former husband is as yet unclear.

Stay tuned to CBS to catch the latest happenings as Steffy's bold action creates chaos in her company on The Bold and the Beautiful.
