The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers tease that Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) might push Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) to her limits by blocking another potential romance.

B&B viewers may remember how Steffy opposed Hope and Thomas Forrester's (Matthew Atkinson) relationship, convincing Thomas to leave town with Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri). This move infuriated Hope, as she lost both her love interest and the son they were raising, now far away in France.

Currently, Thomas is content with Paris Buckingham (Diamond White), and Douglas is excited about her becoming his stepmom.

Meanwhile, Hope daydreamed about John "Finn" Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) and eventually kissed him while drunk. Since then, Steffy has been setting strict rules for Hope, emphasizing boundaries and distance.

Celeb Dirty Laundry reports that Steffy's primary concern is safeguarding her marriage, so one might think she'd be pleased if Hope focused her attention on a new man.

However, this may not be the case, as Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the next potential love interest. She Knows Soaps reports that Steffy sees Carter as a close friend and someone she'll always care about. The Forresters consider Carter family, so Steffy might feel the need to protect him.

Steffy is aware of Carter's history of difficult breakups. Since she views Hope as similar to Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), Steffy might expect Hope to use Carter and leave him heartbroken.

How will Hope respond if Steffy forbids her from dating Carter next? Steffy might notice some chemistry between them and decide to stop it before it starts.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Steffy could expand her ultimatum, suggesting that if Hope wants to keep her fashion line, she should avoid getting involved with Carter. This kind of demand might be the final straw for Hope, causing her feud with Steffy to escalate dramatically.

If Steffy tries to protect her friend and Forrester's COO, it could backfire and make Hope fixate on revenge. Hope might decide to stop following orders and let things unfold naturally regarding Hope for the Future.

If Carter can help Hope revive her line as planned, it might become successful enough that she won't need to worry about threats anymore. Steffy might have no choice but to back down if Hope for the Future becomes a hit again.

Moreover, Steffy might realize that Hope and Carter could be a good match for each other. However, Steffy's initial response to the idea of Hope and Carter's relationship won't be good.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say that Hope and Steffy may be preparing for another intense confrontation. Steffy will put her foot down and try to derail any romance possibility between Hope and Carter.
