If you thought Friday\u2019s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful (recapped here<\/a>) sealed with a kiss Ridge\u2019s promise to replace Steffy with Brooke as co-CEO, you were absolutely right. On the other hand, if you thought Steffy would step aside without a fight, you were dead wrong. Wait till you see what goes down in the sneak-peek video that the soap just aired.<\/p>\n

Hope Is Ready to Do Whatever It Takes<\/p>\n

As you may have noticed on screen, Hope is, like, super into her fashion line. In case you missed it, though, she reminds us \u2014 and, at the same time, hubby Liam \u2014\u00a0saying, \u201cI am so proud of Hope For the Future. I\u2019ve gotta fight for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Even if doing so sets up what amounts to another coup at Forrester Creations, with Ridge seeking to remove his daughter from her seat of power and plop wife Brooke in it!<\/p>\n

Ridge\u2019s Lucky He Doesn\u2019t Get Slapped<\/p>\n

When Ridge approaches Steffy with the idea of handing her role over to Brooke\u2026 um, let\u2019s just say that Steffy doesn\u2019t take it too terribly well. \u201cBrooke has earned her spot here; I get it,\u201d she allows. \u201cBut she\u2019s not gonna have my job.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And the look in Steffy\u2019s eyes as she lays down the law\u2026\u00a0man, we haven\u2019t seen that kind of formidable glare since her late grandmother Stephanie passed away!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Zende\u2019s Finally Fed Up<\/p>\n

The video ends with what may be the most surprising thing in it. We thought Zende had gotten so used to being treated like a second-class citizen around Forrester that he hardly even noticed it anymore. But no, he\u2019s ticked that HFTF\u2019s latest line isn\u2019t being produced. As he rages to Carter, \u201cI designed an entire collection that is never gonna see the light of day!\u201d<\/p>\n

Or is it? When Hope winds up jumping ship for Logan, perhaps Zende will seize the opportunity to start over at a fashion house that might actually appreciate him.<\/p>\n
