B&B Spoilers May 18-22: Bill Spencer’s New Sheriff Power Play Destroys Hope Logan’s Forrester Future

BILL SPENCER’S NEW SHERIFF POWER PLAY DESTROYS HOPE LOGAN’S FORRESTER FUTURE

TL;DR: On B&B’s May 18-22 episodes, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) declares himself the new sheriff in town as he moves to poach Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) for Logan after Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) crushes her own daughter’s Forrester future.

What Happens to Hope on B&B This Week?

Hope Logan is on the verge of walking out of Forrester Creations for good on the May 18-22 episodes of B&B, and Bill Spencer is right there with a contract ready to sign. After watching Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) shelve Hope For The Future back in April and ice Hope out of every couture decision since, the Logan princess has hit her breaking point. Bill has officially declared himself the new sheriff in town, and reading between the lines, this is the moment the labor war goes hot.

The week opens Monday with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) in full damage control mode after refusing to demote Steffy from her co-CEO chair on Friday’s cliffhanger. Brooke Logan is furious. Steffy is smug. And Hope is about to find out that her own mother could not get Ridge to budge for her. Something tells us this is the moment Hope finally realizes the Forrester family was never really her family.

Why Did Brooke Logan Betray Her Own Daughter?

Brooke delivers the gut punch on Tuesday. She tells Hope that Hope For The Future is officially dead at Forrester, that Ridge would not budge, and that her mother could not save her career. For a woman who has spent twenty years swearing she would protect her daughter above all else, this is a stunning failure of nerve. Mark our words, Hope will never forget who folded first when it mattered most.

By Wednesday, even Katie Logan (Heather Tom) is starting to question what she signed up for. After months of plotting with Bill to build the Logan fashion house into a Forrester killer, Katie is suddenly asking herself why she is working so hard to poach her own niece. Could this mean Katie has a conscience attack right when Bill needs her locked in? Don’t be surprised if Katie hesitates just long enough to give Forrester a tiny window of mercy before Bill slams it shut.

What’s Next for Hope Logan?

Thursday brings the showdown B&B fans have been waiting for. Hope marches into Steffy’s office and demands real answers. Given the bad blood between these two women, this confrontation is going to leave permanent scars. Steffy iced Hope out on purpose. She shelved HFTF on purpose. She kept her co-CEO chair on purpose. If history is any guide, Hope finally calls Steffy out for the calculated power play this whole arc has been from day one.

By Friday, Hope Logan‘s Forrester career hangs in the balance, and Bill is closing in fast. The man holds the Logan checkbook, the Logan brand, Eric Forrester‘s defected designs, and now possibly Hope herself. Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) is openly lobbying his wife to defect, and Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) is one bad day away from following her out the door. Catch new episodes weekdays on CBS. This whole arc has all the makings of a brand-shake-up event that drags straight through summer sweeps.
