Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) may have officially taken the title of most hated woman at Forrester Creations. Her defection embarrassed the famed fashion house in front of millions of people across the globe. On the eve of Eric's (John McCook) grand return to couture, Katie (Heather Tom) got the jump on her former employer and scheduled an impromptu fashion preview, where she launched Hope by Logan. Now that the world is focused on Logan and its latest collection featuring one of Forrester's most famous icons, the company is scrambling to recover.

On Tuesday, expect Forrester to work overtime to mitigate the damage caused by Katie and the announcement of Hope's involvement at Logan. This is one of the most devastating blows in Forrester Creations history, and it's coming at the hands of individuals who know the ins and outs of their operations. Katie previously ran the PR department, and Hope was the face of Hope for the Future, so they know how to hit the fashion house where it hurts. If Eric's line somehow flops, not only will it be the most embarrassing moment of his career, but it will give Logan the edge against the competition and thrust them further into relevance.

Donna Faces Eric's Wrath

The biggest revelation from the aftermath of Logan's Hope announcement was undoubtedly the surprise that Donna (Jennifer Gareis) knew about it the entire time. She knew how deeply betrayed everyone felt when she kept Eric's previous defection from them, but she still stayed silent after watching Hope sign with Logan. Not only were Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) livid with her and kicked her out of the office, but the look on Eric's face was also one of deep disappointment. Eric and Donna have always found a way to come together throughout the years, but could this be the one thing that finally tears them apart?

Look for Eric and Donna to hit a major snag in their marriage on Tuesday's episode. Eric is deeply hurt by Donna's silence, and it's probably going to be quite some time before that trust rebuilds, if it ever does. Donna was in possession of knowledge that could've saved Forrester Creations from a large-scale public embarrassment. Instead, she stood there in the back of the room and watched as everyone was completely blindsided by Hope walking the runway. This is bigger than just someone switching jobs and keeping a tiny secret. This affects everything that Eric was diligently working toward, and Donna remained silent and let it play out.
