<P> In November 2017, Soap Opera Digest announced that actress Annika Noelle had been cast in the role of Hope; she made her first appearance on January 8, 2018 . </P> <P> The young adult character of Hope was first described as "A polar opposite of what her mother Brooke once was, Hope makes no secret of her more traditional and reserved views on sex and marriage". Matula has described Hope as "Unlucky in love". Speaking about the character's dramatic aging and her storyline, head writer Bradley Bell stated: "Aging the character of' Hope' to a teenager allows us to bring the next generation of' Logans' to the forefront, as well as play a broader range of the' Forrester' vs.' Logan' story .' 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 ." </P> <P> Hope was conceived during an affair between Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan). At the time, Deacon was married to Hope's half - sister, Bridget Forrester . Hope was born at the Big Bear Cabin . Deacon signed over his paternal rights in 2007 to Ridge Forrester when RJ and Hope were taken from Brooke when she was proven to be an unfit mother by Social Services, reported by Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery). Nick Marone (Jack Wagner) was also a father figure for Hope when he was married to Brooke . </P> <P> After the character was dramatically aged (SORASed), Hope is almost raped by a photographer by the name of Graham Derros . Nick and Aggie Jones save her from being raped . At high school (approaching graduation soon), she met a boy Oliver Jones, a DJ . He is Hope's first serious boyfriend . Instantly, the assertive Steffy takes interest in Oliver and wants to lure him away from Hope . She completes a series of events in order to humiliate Hope . At a fashion show for Forrester, she tampers with a sign taking the letters' p' and' e' out of Hope's name to create a sign that reads "Ho Logan". Then, at Hope's graduation party (with a mask theme), her mother has sex with Oliver, thinking it's her husband Ridge; this is revealed by a video which Steffy put together (however, it was later revealed the video was tampered by Justin Barber, who worked for Spencer Publications--who are against Forrester Creations). Despite unresolved feelings and never getting a chance with Oliver again, Hope forgives her mother . Meeting Liam Cooper, who was soon revealed to be the son of Bill Spencer, Jr., their relationship grows despite Oliver trying to win back Hope by making her jealous, by being in a relationship with Amber Moore . Their relationship later faces hardship when Amber falls pregnant after supposedly raping Liam, and Liam is thought to be the father during the whole pregnancy . Hope, unable to deal with the idea of Liam being with another woman and having a child, decides she must move on . The baby, when born, is revealed to not be Liam's . </P>
