Brooke stayed in the fight and it paid off big time.
Brooke’s lobbying pays off on Tuesday, May 26’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful when Hope for the Future gets the green light. But her son R.J.’s luck isn’t as good when it comes to his heart. He’s set to deal with a low blow Will gives him.
What Happened Previously on B&B?
Though her bid for co-CEO didn’t work out, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) has kept pushing to revive HFTF. Always the optimist, she’s held onto the belief that she could change Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) minds. Brooke understood that resources needed to be diverted to couture, but she didn’t want Hope to have to sacrifice to make that happen.
She assured Hope that she’d continue to talk to the co-CEOs, and she has. Brooke advocated for them to make Hope feel like she belongs at Forrester. She expressed that they needed to give her daughter some kind of sign that she’s valued. HFTF has hit rough patches over the past few years, but it’s been a lucrative brand for the company. Brooke has no doubt that it will be again.
As for R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti), while he’s been focused on work, he’s also been holding out hope he and Electra (Laneya Grace) will make a go of it. He’s been upfront with the young jeweler about his feelings. Though he’s aware that her aunt Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) manipulated her relationship with Will (Crew Morrow), he doesn’t think they should be together.
R.J. tried to get Dylan (Sydney Bullock) to interfere by laying her heart out on the line to Will, but she wouldn’t. Dylan chose not to meddle. With Will and Electra growing closer, it’s left R.J. to wonder if he still has a chance.
