Hope’s Hope For The Future
Noelle spoke to TV Insider about Hope’s switching companies and how it’s going to impact her family and friends at Forrester Creations. “You’re going to see it impact multiple characters across the board, and their different reactions,” Noelle shared.
“It impacts Zende [Forrester Dominguez, Delon de Metz] very differently from how it impacts Deke [Sharpe, Harrison Cone], from how it impacts Brooke, from how it impacts Ridge [Forrester, Thorsten Kaye] and Eric [Forrester, John McCook],” the actress continues.
“To see how each character processes this differently, whether they’re viewing it from a place of empowerment, and ‘Good for you, it’s about time,’ versus this being the ultimate betrayal, is such a fun thing, and I can’t wait to watch the air shows and to watch the work of everyone else on the canvas,” added Noelle, noting that so many juicy things arise from the fallout.
That Blue Represents Millions of Dollars
Hope changing fashion houses is consistent with B&B’s history. Clarke Garrison (Dan McVicar) designed gowns for Forrester Creations, but Sally Spectra (the late Darlene Conley) manipulated Clarke into designing at Spectra Fashion as the fictional “Beau Rivage!” Clark subconsciously came up with similar gowns for the Forrester and Spectra showstoppers that were modeled side by side by Kristen and Donna on the Queen Mary during a joint Forrester/Spectra fashion show for charity.
Next, Felicia worked as a designer for Spectra, creating a fashion line inspired by environmental issues. The security at Spencer/Logan Designs is pretty lax compared to the security at Forrester Creations. Sally used to have to dress up as a man to get past the guards, but Brooke and other Forrester Creations personnel seem to have no problem popping over to the showroom at Logan Designs!
In the 1990s, there was at least one instance in which Brooke’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) BeLieF formula went missing! Speaking of BeLieF, Brooke took advantage of the fact that she had ownership of the solution that made fabric wrinkle-free to acquire 51% of Forrester Creations.
Stories involving fashion wars, stolen formulas, and competitors to Forrester Creations have driven storylines on B&B for years. Now, the Forrester Creations/Logan Designs rivalry stands to do that for years to come!
Eric Forrester (John McCook) briefly designed for Katie’s (Heather Tom) company. Now, siblings Hope and Deke are there, too. Which Forrester will come to Logan next? Or which Logan employee might move over to Forrester? Stay tuned!
