'Hope's' presence at Forrester Creations, as well as in ‘Brooke’ and ‘Ridge’s’ home, sparks an intense competition between ‘Hope’ and her step-sister 'Steffy' as well as creates new conflict between long-time rivals 'Brooke' and 'Taylor' as each woman is determined to protect her own daughter.
"[12] Hope was conceived during an affair between Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan).
Deacon signed over his parental rights in 2007 to Ridge Forrester when Hope was taken from Brooke, as she was proven to be an unfit mother by Social Services.
After the character is dramatically aged (SORASed), Hope is almost raped by a photographer, Graham Darros, but she is saved by Nick and Aggie Jones (Sarah Joy Brown).
Instantly, the assertive Steffy takes an interest in Oliver, teasing him in front of Hope for a reaction.
Then, at Hope's graduation party, Brooke has sex with Oliver, claiming she thought it was her husband Ridge behind the mask; this is revealed by a video that Steffy located.
It was later revealed the video was tampered with by Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) and Liam Cooper (Scott Clifton), who worked for Spencer Publications – who are against Forrester Creations.
Once back in the States, Hope saw a video of Steffy and Liam kissing and falling onto the bed together on 'Hope's wedding day' and refuses to sign papers making their marriage legal in the US.
Liam went off with some people who were unknown to Steffy and returned, drunk and with a red streak in his hair and a removable tattoo.
Steffy finds out about the wedding, and shows up and informs Liam about their baby, and if he is following Brooke's plan, he deserves to know before making the commitment.
Liam confronts Hope about her refusal to marry and demands they cut ties with Wyatt and Quinn Artisan Jewelers.
After a pregnancy scare, Hope decides to date both brothers, agreeing to choose one of them as her life partner.
Hope's marriage to Liam crumbles, and she meets Wyatt's ex-girlfriend Flo, who is searching for Phoebe's biological father.
Flo also revealed to Liam and Wyatt that Dr. Buckingham owed some people for a gambling debt and needed to pay them, or they would kill his daughter, Zoe.
Hope learns that she held the unknown woman's stillborn baby, believing that Beth was dead.
Liam explains to Hope that Dr. Buckingham and Flo knew each other from Las Vegas, and he needed her to pose as the birth mother to "Phoebe."
Liam then tells Hope that Taylor did not know about Phoebe being Beth, and that she gave Dr. Buckingham a lot of money in cash for their daughter.
Liam warns Hope that Thomas knew about Beth around the time they got an annulment and that he was chasing Emma when crashed her car in a ditch, which was attributed to her texting while driving.
After putting Beth down, Hope confronts Flo about her betrayal and tells her that she will never forgive her for keeping her daughter away from her for months.
Hope and Liam talks with Justin about reversing the adoption and serving Thomas annulment papers for his deceit.
When Hope is getting the rest of Beth's things from Steffy's house, Thomas shows up and wants to convince her to not end their marriage.
Thomas awakens and tells Detective Sanchez that his fall was an accident in front of Brooke, Ridge, Liam and Hope.
More of this sweetheart, a born-to-be-distressed damsel who's striven to take the high road, whether she has been played by Kim Matula or Annika Noelle.
