The walls of Forrester Creations have borne witness to scandal, heartbreak, and betrayal, but never before has a revelation carried the potential to fracture every alliance within the Logan, Forrester, and Spencer families. Hope Logan’s pregnancy, once a deeply personal matter, has exploded into the kind of mystery that could dismantle relationships, ignite rivalries, and expose devastating secrets buried in the past.

What began with a single ultrasound photo clutched tightly to Hope’s chest has spiraled into a firestorm of rumors, accusations, and forensic intrigue. And at the center of it all lies one haunting question: Who is the father of Hope’s baby?

The First Suspect: Thomas Forrester
The moment whispers reached the design floor that Hope was expecting, Thomas Forrester’s name was the first on everyone’s lips. For months, their professional partnership had teetered on the edge of something far more dangerous. Lingering glances during late-night design sessions, moments of vulnerability that stretched far beyond creative collaboration—everyone sensed the magnetic pull between them.

It didn’t help that Thomas had openly confessed to kissing Hope during a heated moment, nor that he admitted the temptation to cross the line was nearly unbearable. But when preliminary DNA testing ruled him out, shock reverberated across Forrester. Thomas, furious at being dragged once more into scandal, insisted he had changed, that his connection to Hope was built on respect, not reckless passion. Yet the shadow of doubt remained, poisoning his fragile redemption arc.

Liam Spencer’s Desperation and Rage
Next came Liam. He had always been Hope’s fallback, the man who never quite let her go, even as he faltered between her and Steffy. Recently, he had edged back into Hope’s orbit, determined to rebuild their fractured family for Beth’s sake. The idea that Hope might have turned to him in a moment of weakness seemed almost too plausible.

But when Liam secretly submitted his DNA for comparison, the truth came crashing down—he wasn’t the father either. Humiliation curdled into fury. Bursting into Hope’s home, Liam accused her of betrayal, of entangling herself in yet another mess that would destroy their daughter’s stability. His threats to pursue full custody of Beth revealed just how much the situation had shaken him. Hope, maintaining her composure, refused to bend to Liam’s rage. Yet deep inside, the cracks in her resolve began to show.

The Finn Bombshell
The greatest shock came not from a whispered name in the Forrester corridors, but from the lab itself. A preliminary marker match flagged Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan—husband to Steffy and the moral compass of the Forrester family—as a potential father.

The reaction was nuclear. Steffy’s scream of betrayal echoed through the building as she stormed into Finn’s office, demanding answers he didn’t have. Finn, blindsided, insisted on his innocence. He argued that the science must be wrong, but the preliminary data painted a damning picture. For a man known for loyalty and integrity, the very accusation was shattering.

Hope, equally stunned, denied any connection with Finn. Yet Steffy’s fury made reconciliation impossible. Suddenly, every fragile truce within the family was under fire. Brooke raced to defend her daughter, while Ridge found himself once again caught between his divided family. The Forrester empire trembled as trust eroded with every passing hour.

Sabotage Exposed
Just when it seemed the scandal couldn’t grow darker, the truth about tampered evidence came to light. A technician auditing Hope’s initial sample discovered a troubling anomaly: her vial had been removed from cold storage for seven minutes, its seal imperfect, its chain of custody compromised.

Security footage revealed a shadowy figure—face obscured by a hood and mask—slipping into the lab during the window of tampering. The badge they wore suggested insider access. Suddenly, the mystery wasn’t just about paternity. It was about sabotage.

Someone wanted to control the answer. Someone had gone to extraordinary lengths to weaponize Hope’s pregnancy. The question was no longer who is the father but who benefits from chaos?
