THE LONELY LOGAN? HOPE’S CLAIMS OF ABANDONMENT DON’T MATCH REALITY

In the latest dramatic turn on The Bold and the Beautiful, Hope Logan has been painting herself as a woman alone against the world, claiming no one supports her when it matters most. But is this actually true? A closer look at the evidence suggests Hope’s perception might be wildly disconnected from reality.

Let’s break down the facts, shall we?

MOMMY DEAREST DOES EVERYTHING

Brooke Logan has been nothing short of a saint when it comes to supporting her daughter. From providing Hope with a roof over her head to footing the bills for her expenses, Brooke has been the definition of maternal support. She’s even been the primary caretaker for Hope’s children while Hope was busy pursuing her romance with Carter Walton!

When Hope was fired from Forrester Creations last November, who was there picking up the pieces? Brooke. Who has repeatedly gone to bat for her daughter with Ridge Forrester, reminding him that it was Carter, not Hope, who signed those problematic LLC papers? Brooke.

Yet somehow, in Hope’s mind, she’s fighting her battles completely alone. Make it make sense!

THE EX-FACTOR: THOMAS AND LIAM STILL SHOWING UP

For all the drama between them, Thomas Forrester spent the better part of a year revitalizing “Hope for the Future,” turning it into one of Forrester’s success stories. He stood by Hope during her divorce from Liam Spencer and was her emotional rock when Liam faced murder charges. Thomas even sacrificed his friendship with Vinny by telling the truth about the paternity test – all because he couldn’t bear to see Hope unhappy.

Meanwhile, Liam continues to be a dedicated co-parent despite their split. He’s juggling extra responsibilities at Spencer Publications (thanks to Bill Spencer being distracted with the whole Luna fiasco), yet still makes time to care for their children. This gives Hope the freedom to focus on her personal dramas while Liam picks up the slack.

But to hear Hope tell it, she’s handling everything on her own with zero help.

CARTER’S CAREER-RISKING SUPPORT

Let’s not forget Carter Walton, who put his entire professional reputation on the line for Hope. For months, he advocated to Ridge and Steffy Forrester about rehiring Hope. When he finally gained control at Forrester, what was his first move? Reinstating Hope for the Future! He even installed Brooke as CEO specifically to make Hope happy.

Carter defended Hope constantly when others placed blame on her for the company takeover. He risked relationships he’d spent years building – all for Hope. Yet somehow, in her mind, no one has her back.

DEACON AND ZENDE: UNEXPECTED ALLIES

Even Deacon Sharpe has emerged as a fierce defender of his daughter, recently confronting Carter about hurting Hope and promising to always be there for her through tough times.

Zende Forrester Dominguez has advocated for Hope’s return to Forrester and the reinstatement of HFTF, arguing that she deserves another chance based on the line’s previous profitability and her design talents.

WHAT’S REALLY GOING ON WITH HOPE?

With such an extensive support system, Hope’s claims of abandonment raise serious questions. Is she genuinely blind to the help she receives, or is this part of a concerning victim mentality developing in her character?

Perhaps Hope only counts “support” when it aligns perfectly with her desires. The moment someone helps her but things don’t go exactly her way, it’s as if that support never existed. Or maybe Hope’s standards for what constitutes “support” have become impossibly high – anything short of complete agreement with her every decision doesn’t register.

For longtime viewers, watching Hope transform from a generally appreciative character to someone who can’t recognize the many people in her corner has been jarring. Is this intentional character development from the writers, setting up a wake-up call storyline? Or is it simply poor continuity that makes Hope increasingly difficult to root for?

Whatever the case, one thing is clear: Hope Logan is far from alone. She has more supporters than most characters on the canvas. If only she could see it.
