Hope's big choice on The Bold and the Beautiful

Hope (Annika Noelle) needs to make a decision about her future. She is fed up with the treatment of her and her line at Forrester, but she hasn't been able to fully cut the cord from Brooke and make the leap to Logan. Katie (Heather Tom) is offering her everything she could possibly want, and all she has to do is make the jump.

With Katie in desperate need of a direction for her next collection, the clock is ticking for Hope to make a final decision this week. Katie needs an answer about her niece’s professional future as quickly as possible, or else she will go down as a one-hit wonder in the fashion industry. Will Katie be able to convince Hope to finally leave Forrester behind, or will Hope cling to any shred of hope that HFTF will return?

Familiar face, fresh drama

Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is making moves of his own this week to ensure the success of his wife's fledgling fashion house. Based on the video preview, one of those major moves includes the return of his son, Wyatt (Darin Brooks), to Los Angeles. Katie needs all hands on deck to maintain the momentum she secured using Eric's (John McCook) designs for her debut collections. However, Wyatt isn't the only surprising comeback this week, and the other return is a bit more complicated.

Denise Richards makes a return to the soap this week as well, and Shauna Fulton always brings complications and high drama. The last time Shauna was in Los Angeles, she was helping Quinn (Rena Sofer) cover up her affair with Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and as Wyatt's previous mother-in-law-to-be, there's a strong chance the arrivals are connected in some capacity.

A recipe for redemption

Deke (Harrison Cone) has been toiling away at Il Giardino since his untimely ousting from Forrester Creations, with no real signs that his luck was about to improve. Despite Katie interviewing Deke for the designer position at Logan, she eventually dropped the idea in favor of going with Eric. However, this week, following Hope's terms and conditions that her brother join her at Logan if she jumps ship, things may finally be turning around for the young man.

Spoilers tease that things are improving for Deke by the end of the week, which could be the biggest sign yet that Hope chose Logan over Forrester. While Hope remaining at Forrester could mean the eventual return of HFTF, jumping ship to Logan would secure her brother his dream position, designing for a major fashion house. Deke's future is firmly in Hope's hands, and this could be exactly what he needs to escape culinary purgatory.
