Viewers are curious about why Deke was fired from Hope for the Future on The Bold and the Beautiful.
The decision to replace Deke was announced by Steffy, who didn’t consider Hope’s say while making the call. Despite this, Hope tried her best to make Steffy understand that Deke deserved a chance. However, Steffy remained firm, explaining that keeping Deke could complicate things for her with Thomas. She also urged Hope to be the one to break the disheartening news to Deke herself.
Why did Deke get fired on The Bold and the Beautiful?
Deke was replaced by Zende and Thomas, whom Steffy and Ridge believed were the best choices to carry Hope for the Future forward. As a result, Deke’s contract was not extended and was ultimately terminated, leaving Hope disappointed with the decision.
Steffy reveals to Hope that she and Ridge believe that Zende and Thomas are the best candidates for HFTF. While she acknowledges Deke’s talent, she believes that there’s a place for him in the fashion world, but not at Forrester. When Hope tries to remind Steffy that it’s her business, Steffy asserts that she’s co-CEO too. During their discussion, Hope urges Steffy to give Deke a chance to prove himself. Steffy refuses, revealing that it could complicate things with Thomas and make Liam unhappy.
Later, Deke asks Carter whether he knows what the future holds for him at Forrester, but the latter remains unaware. Deke, however, expresses his gratitude for getting to work at the company, calling it a dream come true. Meanwhile, Brooke was also worried about how Hope would react when Steffy broke the news to her. Ridge reassures that things are sorted between the duo. Brooke argues that she’s afraid that it might look like Hope’s brother was ousted to let Thomas in.
Further, Deke shows up and displays the new sketches to Hope, who asks him to stop it. Hope expresses her appreciation for his talent but reveals that she spoke to Steffy, and the decision around leading the line is out. Deke is eager to know whether he has become permanent in the company. Sadly, Hope reveals that he has been fired. Though disappointed, Deke understands that Thomas and Zende are more experienced. He promises to improve his craft more and is hopeful that his father will hire him at the restaurant.
