Brief Character History

Hope was born on July 2nd, 2002, to Brooke Logan. She was born in the Forrester cabin in Big Bear, and delivered by Stephanie and Bridget.

Hope was the result of an affair Brooke had with her son-in-law, Deacon. During most of the pregnancy, Whip Jones claimed to be the baby's father, to protect Brooke and her daughter Bridget against the scandal. When the truth came out, Bridget was furious with her mother and didn't speak to her for months. It wasn't until they were thrown together during the birth that Bridget and Brooke began speaking.

A month after the baby's birth she still didn't have a name. The subject came up during a lunch that Stephanie, Brooke and Bridget had together and Brooke said she wanted her name to be symbolic. Stephanie suggested Joy, for bringing so much joy into Brooke's life, but Bridget said that only described how Brooke felt. The baby had also had impact on other people's lives, with HOPE for a new beginning. So, the baby was named Hope.

In July 2003, Hope had her first birthday and she started spending more time with her half-brother Little Eric, her father and his new love (later wife) Macy. Deacon sued for custody of Eric and Hope when the Logans and Forresters refused him access to his children. He lost with Hope, but won for Eric.

In 2004, Deacon signed away any paternal connection to Hope and agreed to have Dominick Marone adopt her as his own. Hope had an accident in the Jacuzzi at Brooke's house, while Nick was babysitting, where her hair got caught in the drain as she was practicing holding her breath under water. Nick managed to pull her out of the water, perform CPR and get her to the hospital before any major damage occurred. Hope suffered two seizures and was unconscious for some time but left the hospital with no permanent damage.

Another incident at Brooke's house occurred when Hope and R.J. were unintentionally left alone. Donna was babysitting and needed to catch a plane. Brooke told Donna she was almost home but then barely avoided an accident and pulled off to the side of the road to get herself together. She fell asleep. Donna saw a car driving up the driveway and thought it was Brooke so she left through the back door. It was the deliveryman. R.J. and Hope were home alone all night. The next morning, Hope called 911. Brooke woke up, realized she'd spent the night in her car and rushed home. Brooke assured CPS that nothing like that would happen again.

Later, Brooke made an appointment with Taylor and asked Nick to watch the kids. Brooke told Taylor she felt like an unfit mother.

Meanwhile, Nick showed the kids how to make a map look old by burning the edges with his lighter. Nick later dropped his lighter while wrestling with the children. Hope and R.J. found it after he left and accidentally set the living room on fire while trying to light a candle. When Brooke returned from the kitchen with sandwiches for the kids, she panicked. Ridge arrived in time to dash through the flames, save the children and find an operational fire extinguisher to put out the fire. This time, CPS removed Hope and R.J. from Brooke's custody and sent them home with Ridge. After spending several weeks living with Ridge at the Forrester mansion, Hope and R.J. were returned, at Ridge's request to their mother's custody.

In 2010, a then-seventeen-year-old Hope was hired as an intern at Forrester Creations by her Aunt Katie. Hope soon found herself butting heads with her stepsister, Steffy Forrester. Tensions escalated when Katie had Hope pitch an ad campaign and chose Hope's ad campaign over Steffy’s. Photographer Graham Darros was hired for Hope's campaign, and the two developed a rapport. A few days later, Hope happened to overhear a discussion between her mother and Ridge in which they discussed how Hope was a blight on the family name because of her paternity. A devastated Hope got into her car and drove to Graham's studio where he proceeded to drug her wine and then attempted unsuccessfully to rape her.
