Annika Noelle's hope for the future on The Bold and the Beautiful

On The Bold and the Beautiful, Hope Logan's (Annika Noelle) fashion line is Hope for the Future. Lately, it's been under scrutiny by her stepsister and rival, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), for low sales, and Forrester Creations may have to drop the line.

Feeling under attack by Steffy is nothing new for Hope, but the previous good girl has had a personality shift this year. Hope was startled when Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) returned to town, clearly detached from the obsession he used to have with her. Thomas had moved on to a new relationship and rejected Hope's appeals for a reconciliation.

Hope preferred to be morally correct in the past, but in recent months, she has had her eye on Steffy's husband, Finn. Steffy knows that Hope has been undermining her marriage, and she could help decide the fate of Hope for the Future. With her destiny at the mercy of Steffy's influence, Hope's future is about to enter new territory, personally and professionally.
