B&B Spoilers: Ivy Forrester Advocates for Rival Hope Logan After Liam Spencer Rejection

IVY’S HEARTBREAK SENDS HOPE INTO TOTAL MELTDOWN – LIAM WON’T GIVE UP!

TL;DR: Ivy Forrester was rejected by Liam Spencer who only wants Hope Logan back. Ivy is now telling Hope to give Liam another chance while Hope balks at Carter Walton’s push to elope immediately. Thomas Forrester returns any day now.

The Rejection That Changes EVERYTHING

Talk about awkward! Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) finally worked up the courage to tell Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) exactly how she felt about him—only to get an earful about how “absolutely amazing” Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) is instead.

Ouch.

But here’s where it gets REALLY interesting. Instead of being bitter (like most of us would be, let’s be honest), Ivy is actually playing matchmaker for her rival! She’s practically pushing Hope into Liam’s arms, telling her everything he said and urging her to give him another shot. Is this the most selfless move in soap history or is Ivy playing some kind of long game?

What’s Really Going On with Hope and Carter?

Hope is engaged to Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), but something’s definitely OFF.

When Carter suggested they elope and get married RIGHT NOW, Hope completely freaked out. She balked at the idea faster than you can say “cold feet”! This woman who’s been married multiple times suddenly wants a loooong engagement? Please. We all know what’s really happening here—she’s not over Liam, and everyone can see it except maybe Carter.

Carter is being “wonderful” to her, sure. But wonderful doesn’t always equal passion, does it? And let’s not forget Carter’s track record with engagements. Remember Zoe? Paris? The man left Paris Buckingham AT THE ALTAR to chase after Quinn Fuller! This is a pattern, people. He falls hard, proposes fast, and then… disaster.

Liam’s Not Playing Fair (And We’re Here For It!)

Liam isn’t just asking Hope to come back—he’s going FULL emotional manipulation mode and using their daughter Beth as ammunition!

“We should be a family again.”

That’s his whole pitch. And you know what? It might actually work! Because while Carter offers stability and safety, Liam offers history, passion, and that undeniable connection they’ve always had. Plus, there’s the tiny detail that Liam only pushed Hope toward Carter when he thought he was DYING. Now that he’s miraculously healthy again (thanks to that whole fake brain tumor storyline), he wants his life back.

Can you blame him?

Will Ivy’s Surprising Move Actually Work?

Ivy knows she can’t compete with Hope—she literally said so! But her decision to advocate for “Lope” is fascinating.

After hearing Liam go on and on about Hope, Ivy did the math and realized she was never going to win this one. So instead of fighting a losing battle, she’s taking the high road and telling Hope exactly what Liam said. She’s urging Hope to “hear Liam out some more and consider a reconciliation.”

This puts Hope in an impossible position. She’s got:

• Carter pushing for an immediate wedding
• Liam using Beth to guilt her into reuniting
• Ivy (of all people!) telling her Liam truly loves her

No wonder the woman is confused!

What’s Next for Hope, Liam, and Carter?

Could this mean Hope finally admits she’s not ready to marry Carter? Don’t be surprised if that engagement ring ends up back in Carter’s pocket sooner rather than later.

Given Hope’s obvious hesitation about eloping, this engagement is on life support. If she REALLY wanted to marry Carter, she’d be planning that wedding, not making excuses!

And here’s the REAL bombshell nobody’s talking about yet…

The Thomas Factor (This Changes EVERYTHING!)

Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) is coming back to town ANY DAY NOW!

Hope thinks she’ll never see him again. She has no idea what’s about to hit her. The big question: Is Thomas still married to Paris Buckingham (Diamond White)? Last we heard, they were engaged when he left town, but Paris hasn’t been seen in forever. My money says that relationship is OVER.

Think about it—if Thomas comes back single and available, we’re looking at a full-blown love SQUARE! Hope could dump Carter, Thomas and Liam could fight over Hope (again), and maybe Ivy could snag someone on the rebound.

Or here’s a wild thought: What if Thomas comes back married and Paris wants Carter back? She could take him off Hope’s hands while Hope figures out if she wants Liam or Thomas!

What’s Next for This Mess?

Could this mean Hope is about to blow up her entire life? Don’t be surprised if she ends up with NONE of these men when the dust settles. This woman needs to figure out what she actually wants instead of bouncing between whoever’s available.

Given Carter’s history of rushed proposals and failed engagements, this likely leads to him being left at another altar. The man seriously needs to slow down and maybe try actually dating someone for more than five minutes before proposing!

If I know these writers, Thomas’s return will happen at the WORST possible moment—probably right when Hope is about to make a decision about Liam and Carter. Because that’s how soap operas work, and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

The real question is: Will Hope choose the safe option with Carter, reunite with Liam for Beth’s sake, or will Thomas sweep back in and remind her what real passion feels like?

Place your bets now, soap fans. This is about to get MESSY.
