However, news that Taylor (Rebecca Budig) has heart failure is going to destroy Steffy and we think it’s going to bring everyone at Forrester Creations closer together, even Hope and Steffy.

While they might not be friends, exactly, we do think that Hope might take the opportunity to do as much as she can to make Hope for the Future a success to ease Steffy’s mind; Brooke’s Bedroom is already a success and it would make things so much easier for the company if they had two lines that are wowing the fashion world. And given that Hope and Steffy’s kids are growing up as a family, we can see Hope stepping up to be there for Kelly and Hayes when Steffy needs time for herself.

Taylor and Brooke have already talked about their desire to be friends again in hopes that it will smooth the relationship between their daughters. As she faces her condition, Taylor wants to see peace between Steffy and Hope and the silver lining in this tragic situation is that it could very well bring the two rivals together… at least for a little while…
