Bold & Beautiful job-hopper Hope may think that the worst is behind her now that she's had it out with mom Brooke (and fans have taken it upon themselves to rip the hypocrite to shreds). But there's one more person to whom Hope owes an explanation for her hush-hush defection to Logan: Zende.
Talk About a Raw Deal!
The poor guy was so excited about the line that he'd created with Hope - a line that we can't imagine ever being released now, since it was a collab with her. When Steffy backburnered Hope For the Future, Zende was as upset as anybody - ready-to-wear, he said, was his sweet spot.
But as Hope made plans to leave Forrester for Logan, Zende was the furthest thing from her mind. She didn't consider all the work he'd done that would be scrapped. She didn't give him a heads-up to see if he wanted to jump ship with her. Instead, she got her even less experienced brother the lead designer job!
Mad, Madder, Maddest
If we were Zende, we'd be livid. He thought of himself and Hope as a team, and she obviously didn't. So he oughta have some choice words for the perpetually teary "visionary" - that is, if they ever so much as have the conversation.
Bold & Beautiful so often plays Zende as an afterthought, we wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't given a moment to sarcastically tell Hope thanks for keeping him in mind and in the loop.
A New Beginning?
On the other side of all this, we hope Forrester makes good on Zende's promotion and lets him create a line of his own. Perhaps Miss Dylan could be his new muse. Then sparks could fly, and she could be rescued from having babymen R.J. and Will as her only romantic options.
