In “The Bold and the Beautiful,” Hope has undergone significant changes over the years, yet her rivalry with Steffy remains intense. The two have long clashed, particularly over Liam, and Steffy’s disdain for Hope grew when Brooke, Hope’s mother, dated Ridge. Steffy viewed both Brooke and Hope as flirtatious, adding fuel to their animosity. Recently, Steffy faced a setback when a paperwork issue prevented her from attending a business trip to Monte Carlo, leaving Hope secretly pleased as this allowed Brooke and Ridge to focus on their trip.
Meanwhile, Katie continues to delve into Poppy’s past, uncovering a past relationship between Poppy and Tom. To preempt Katie’s revelations, Poppy confessed to Bill about her history with Tom, revealing that she once admired him and that they had a brief romance. Poppy insisted that Luna is Bill’s daughter, not Tom’s, despite Bill’s doubts due to Tom’s background. With Tom now deceased, the truth about his and Poppy’s relationship remains murky, and the ongoing police investigation into Tom’s death raises questions about whether Poppy could be involved.
