Every time Steffy thinks she's got out of something unscathed, we know something good is coming for her 😅 I still can't believe how many weeks it's taking her to connect the dots here... Okay so Finn really does believe Hope was throwing herself at him in the office. That settles the mystery if he's stupid or scared of his wife. He is obviously both, but believing what he believes makes him a little more stupid.
Carter should choose his battles. He can't loby for both HFTF and the global luxury brand. Seems Lynn is right that this LLC business is probably going to be what gives him the edge in this conflict.
I mean in Finn's defence, this lady hits on you a few times, before kissing you at a family event where his wife's family is. Then the next time you have an encounter with that person, they in lingerie and call out for "whoever" to close the door, then lands on him after a trip... whats stopping him from thinking, "she's at it again" and is now embarrassed hence the reason her denying it. And whats not helping Hope is her not saying no i wasn't waiting for you, i was waiting for... She is not even hinting there is someone else, she just magically called out for someone to close the door. She could just say, i am seeing someone and i am not ready to talk about it, but she's not even trying that. She just wants to stay BIG MAD, that she got fired for a "misunderstanding" that she is actively choosing not to correct.
Yes obviously Hope should say who she was waiting for, that's been agreed by all of us and is not under discussion. But if I'm Finn, I'll also engage my logic and what situation exactly I was just part of - the tripping, the shocked expression on Hope's face and yeah her inability to to see through doors that I'm coming and speed change. It takes really just a few seconds of consideration what exactly just went on.
And of course Hope being mad is absolutely illogical. I'm never above admitting when someone (even if I liked them) is acting weird and making mistakes.
I agree with what Kae said regarding Finn. After listening to him today, and despite Hope's trip and apparent shock that Finn was in the office, I can see why he would think Hope was up to her same shenanigans as before. I also agree about him picking his battles. It's one or the other.
Anybody who takes even a second to consider the situation that unfolded would realize there's something more behind it. All of Hope's "shenanigans" were direct and deliberate. At least giving some thought about her demeanor and the logistics of the situation would make anyone see something isn't right. Finn just can't or doesn't want to give the thought or talk to Hope to get more information, because he's way too jammed under Steffy's stiletto.
I agree, Milla. I'm just saying that I can also understand why Finn would ignore the minor stuff and readily assume that Hope was coming on to him. This is why a proper investigation into the matter, from a level-headed perspective and not an emotional one, needed to be done.
Milla, exactly! How in the world would she have known Finn was going to walk in at that moment?? That’s what Finn, Steffy, Ridge snd Taylor are failing to address. And Steffy “deleting” Hope at the end there was so symbolic. But don’t get to used to it, Steffy. When have you gotten rid of a Logan so easily?? Lol And yes, I agree with J…..Jammed up under Steffy’s stiletto was definitely a good one!! 🤣🤣🤣 Finn is such a YES man. It’s super annoying. Not sure if I’m embracing the Hope / Carter romance just yet. But I am embracing their determination to teach Steffy a lesson. That’s been a long time coming!!
oooooooh "Evil" Steffy, getting away with getting rid of a line that was literally on the chopping board 100 times, even before Thomas become HFTF'S Head designer, the line was in trouble, hence her being ok with "evil" Thomas designing for her. Then again it was on the chopping block when "evil" Thomas was going crazy... then Steffy had to convince her to keep Thomas to save her line. Then Thomas leaves and it's struggling AGAIN, even with Eric as a designer lol... then again and again and again. But somehow after the 100th time this line is struggling, "evil" Steffy cuts the line for personal reasons. I mean the line had beeeeeeen struggling, with even buyers backing out. But Steffy is the problem. This storyline is BONKERS lol. At this point bring back Luna to Forrestor, they are clearly yearning for a real problem... perhaps Luna can start with Carter, who went from dating the Aunt to falling for his best friends wife's daughter (ex-girlfiriend's niece), who happens to be younger than all Ridges children, that age gap must be crazy. But i digress.
I would to know where all this animosity and entitlement that Carter and the Logan’s are spewing is coming from. They are EMPLOYEES!!! They are NOT shareholders, not family members.
The cry they aren’t appreciated is made a lie by the big fat salaries they draw!
Hope excluded since she chose to get herself fired by refusing to be honest. Not to mention her blatant insubordination over and over.
The look Hope gave Carter at the end is the same one I’ve seen a few times now.
I don’t believe for a second that she magically fell in love with Carter in one second.
She is manipulating him, playing on his emotions, riling him up and whinging on his shoulder to get him to attack Forrester from the inside!
He isn’t doing his job and is making demands etc. It doesn’t sound like the Carter we’ve seen all these years!
Hope definitely brings out the worst in him.
Steffy and Ridge are right to lose confidence in him.
By the by I don’t include RJ because he is a Forrester and isn’t causing trouble. He was handed his job solely because he was Eric’s grandson and Ridge’s son.
Zende has a massive chip on his shoulder and is always bitter about something.
He was designing for couture as was RJ so they have jobs plus they are Forresters so aren’t going anywhere!
Kae, you are correct about HFTF struggling for some time now and FC doing everything it can to keep it's momentum but it still keeps failing no matter what they try. However, the problem isn't Steffy making a business decision to cut the line (which she would have had every right to do), the problem is Steffy keeping a failing line just to use it against Hope then making a personal decision to cut it based on "Hope knew the consequences of going after my husband."
And if after the ending of today's show with Steffy deleting the HFTF folder from the company's business records, all with a smirk on her face, you still don't think this was a personal decision to oust Hope from the company, then you're just choosing to ignore it. I'm not in agreement with what Carter is doing one bit, but I have to agree with him when he said that this is not how you do business.
Steffy's riding high right now. It's gonna make her feel empowered to get rid of Brooke next, then Katie. It's too bad her session with Chondra yesterday didn't do anything for her.
And I disagree that the Logans are just employees since, they are also family in one way or the other. They, together with the Forresters, have been the heart of FC and have contributed to the grand success that the company is today. Relegating them to being "just employees" is gravely undervaluing their input over the years. They may not be shareholders or owners but I highly doubt FC would be where they are today without their innovations.
Elle this is so well put, especially about the Logans (mostly Brooke changed the company significantly, in a way that most actual family members/shareholders, apart from the big 3 designers, wouldn't even come close). Regarding Steffy, it definitely was a personal decision. But I still have some sympathy for her. I can't imagine what else she could have done to not have to feel like her marriage is threatened, other than treaten Hope and then act on that threat when she saw what she thinks she saw. She also couldn't cancel the line back when she first wanted to, because Ridge didn't allow it. She wanted to make the purely business decision back then but couldn't.
Actually, Carter and Ridge were totally on board with the decision to cut the line, which Steffy could have done back then. They were just as shocked when she decided to keep it. If she had cut it, she would have had their support with her business decision.
I can't sympathize with Steffy at all for the mere fact she knows that Finn is 100% committed to her and their family. She's not insecure the way Brooke is. Steffy's main goal is to get rid of the Logans. It is very personal for her.
Elle I meant the earlier attempt of Steffy to cancel it, I think it was around the time when Ridge brought Brooke back on board. I think he first didn't support Steffy and then to add insult to injury, made her work with Brooke 😅🙈 Yes it's very personal but if Hope hadn't made a move on Finn, do you think Steffy would still be gunning to fire her? I don't know, maybe she still would...
I think Deacon is just trying to be supportive of his daughter. After his conversation with Finn today, it seems Deacon might be understanding of Finn's position in the matter. I didn't see anything wrong with him trying to get Finn to see the situation differently.
for pete sakes, the owners of a company makes the decisions. so they don't gush over & implement your idea....get over it. it isn't YOUR company no matter how many years you worked there. he's taking it way too personally.
I've said it before, Carter is pushing too hard regarding taking FC forward into something bigger and better. He needs to be very careful because if his day-to-day functions are being pushed aside in favor of him trying to make FC a global luxury brand, he can end up being on the chopping block next.
Okay, I give up hoping Finn will remember that incident with Hope differently. I thought a guy could tell the difference between someone tripping and falling on top of him, and "oh yeah baby let's get it on". I'm eager to see what happens next. Steffy canceling HFTF should have been based on the numbers and sales only. Not because she believed Hope was after Finn. You have to be able to separate business from personal.
