The Bold and the Beautiful fans know there is always a few things to learn about their favorite characters, and we have to point out that some of those things just work so much for us. We might be dealing with the youngest of the four major daytime soaps here, but that doesn’t mean we are not dealing with a longtime story we might not know that much about. Even though Hope is young and hasn’t been around for the three plus decades the show has been on the air, some fans aren’t that old and don’t necessarily know all there is to know about her. So, we’ve rounded up some of the biggest and best Hope facts that there are, and we are asking you if you already knew these things about her, or if you are a relatively new fan who didn’t know these things. Which is it?
1. She Was “Born” in 2002
Technically, that makes her a mere 17-years-old, but we all know about the sudden and shocking aging process on this show. Surely she’s much older than that now since she did just get married for the second time — and have a baby — and move home from spending a few years off in the world working on her career. But, those are the facts. She basically maintained her status as a child for the first five or six years of her life, but that was basically it. She was not meant to be a child in the show for too long at that point. Her mother is Brooke, and her father was Deacon, and they needed to have a much older daughter at some point. They could not continue their own lives as the parents of a small child at their age. It was not a thing we think worked well for them. So, Hope was re-aged. It was in 2009 when the character was a mere child of 7 that she was rapidly aged to an older teen.
2. She and Steffy are Like Their Mothers
Their entire lives, they’ve been nothing short of mean to one another. They do not get along, and their relationship mimics the one that their mothers have. Taylor and Brooke have always had a problem with one another that stems from the fact that Taylor was Brooke’s doctor once upon a time. She was there for Ridge and Brooke when there was a medical situation. When they didn’t work out, Ridge made a move on Taylor and they ended up married. Not only married, however. They ended up having a baby. He is a father — but only to Steffy. And the fact that Hope was then born to Brooke made them rivals.
They’ve fought over the same men their entire life, and they always lost out to one another. There has always been drama there, and we cannot figure out why it’s not been moved on and let go at this point. We are hoping it finally is, but we know better than that about things like this. They bring the heat and the drama, and they will always fight over men, lives, and anything else they can fight over.
3. She’s Opposite Her Mother
Okay, so this is where things get a little interesting. You see, it’s been made clear for many years that Hope is exactly who her mother is not — which is a woman with casual feelings about love and sex and relationships. Hope has always prided herself on being much more reserved and careful with her own love life, but we think that’s changed. She is a lot more like her mother than anyone else ever thought. She did, after all, come in to town and work her way back into Liam’s life despite the fact that he was a married man. He and Steffy were having some marital issues, but she didn’t think twice about going to bed with a man not only married but who was expecting his first child with his wife, and getting herself pregnant. She wasn’t too worried about being different than her mother in that situation, so we are just going to leave that there and get to know Hope a little better. We do think she’s changed a bit — and we can’t wait to see more.
