Daphne mentioned that she had seen 'Hope's type' before—women who use men to get what they want. I can't help but wonder where she encountered these women? The first one must be a reflection of herself, as she's currently working on Carter to provoke a particular reaction and to secure the company for her best friend. The second woman who fits this description is clearly Daphne's friend, Steffy. After all, Steffy blackmailed Bill Spencer to reclaim shares of Forrester Creations and pursued Hope's boyfriends with the sole intention of hurting a Logan.

The entire narrative that Hope made Carter steal power at Forrester Creations is absurd. Carter was the one who came up with the plan. Hope simply embraced the idea, and I don't think I can blame her, especially considering all that she has endured with the toxic Forrester family. I don't necessarily agree with it or consider it the best moral choice, but I can understand it on a human level. Everyone has their limits and scheming Daphne has no room to talk.

I would prefer to see Daphne and Zende as a couple. She's not my favorite character, but if she stays I would prefer her and Zende. I don't really care what Hope does. But I do agree, this was not her idea. She just supported Carter. At the end of the day, all I want is for Eric to get his company back.

I agree the plan was not Hopes idea but I do think Carter would have already signed it back over if she was to show any inkling that she we be ok with that.I do see Carter coming to a point of being unable to keep doing the wrong thing and giving Eric his company back.IMO he will try to get an agreement that includes HFTF for Hope but I think this whole charade has done irreparable damage to Cope.Thats ok with me I’m not a Cope fan anyway.Daphne I like her but really don’t care who she is with.

If Carter would have done something and he didn't because of someone else, then he has no spine. That's on him, not Hope.

The problem is, Hope is in a totally different place than carter. Carter wants to end the "coup" because he knows that his "brother" and "Valentine" Ridge will take him back and forgive him. Carter´s ideas wer not accepted by the Forresters but he was never called dirty names, fired and escorted to the elevator.
To Hope this all happened, she was berated, called dirty names, then (wrongly) fired and humiliated. Of course she doesn´t want the "coup" to end, she finally has a peaceful work environment.
I suppose Harter will break up over this, Hope will not go back to FC and we will soon watch Hope´s "wakeup call", including catastrophic incidents whatever this means.

Eric did it to himself, so I don't feel sorry for him in this story. He was initially upset/angry with tyrant Steffy's hateful decision..he showed concerns telling his tyrant granddaughter that her hateful impulsive decision could affect the company, yet the entitled twit didn't care about patriarch Eric's concerns as she demanded Eric and Ridge to bow down to her decision..she has NO respect for the patriarch Eric. JMO. And Eric is just an enabler much like Ridge allowed Steffy's reign of terror..as a patriarch, he could've reverse the firing, but chose not to. These fools all share blames in this takeover mess..but they rather pretend it's all on Hope.:drunk

I do not feel bad for Eric either. He could have put a stop this madness but he chose to use his power to support Steffy and Ridge and turn against Brooke and Hope. He shares just as much of the blame as all of them because he went with them.

I am not sure if I will ever respect Eric after this. It is not like he was not warned by Ivy that Steffy was being unreasonable and using personal feelings as her business decisions. This man also knows Brooke and how she feels about them and the company. The woman is the mother of two of his children and grandchildren. He has yet to contact her and hear her side, he is choosing to be brainwashed by Steffy. He has yet to make an effort to listen to Brooke, Hope, or Carter.

If things don't change with Eric, then I will pull for whomever to pull the plug on him the next time.

Yep. Eric betrayed his friend Brooke first (by allowing his tyrant granddaughter to brainwash him), and not the other way around.

Eric is the most maddening person in this story! Why can't he fire Carter? The Forrester own the company,

You are right on all points.

Daphne is the one using Carter, not Hope. She seems to be proud of the way she uses her "charms" to influence men to do what she wants.

Steffy is the queen of using and manipulating men for her own selfish reasons. She used Bill, she wanted to have sex with Oliver so that Hope would leave LA, and she used her body to seduce Liam away from her own step-sister.

Hope is wrong to take part in the takeover but I also can see why she'd do it. Steffy and Ridge made FC a toxic environment. Carter offered a way out of it so she went along. Big deal. Was it justified? No, but I don't care. Steffy and Ridge had it coming.

Con Daphne is exactly like her nasty trashy bestie! She stands there with her fake paragon of virtue judging Hope is rich and hilarious considering that Harter have no idea she's part of tyrant Steffy's con plan pimping her to Hope's boyfriend from the day she arrived. And all she knows about Hope is the biased version of what the Forrester bullies fed her..so she is just as delusional as those morons. She's pure trash..and that is why she gets along with that no morals, low life bestie. JMO.
