‘Bold and the Beautiful’: Hope Panics as a Cocky Thomas Gets Dumped In Her Lap?

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers have Hope Logan in a panic and Thomas Forrester‘s cocky attitude growing in leaps and bounds next week on the CBS soap. It looks like the new HFTF line swirls the drain, which gives the Forrester son an inflated head. He knows his designs could save the line.

So, when a desperate Hope presented a controversial fix last week, one word put her in a panic of a different kind. Next week on B&B, it looks like she pulls out the stinger and heads in a direction that could be dangerous.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Hope Logan Snaps

Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) advocated for shady Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) to return to FC last week. That’s until Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) mentioned the magic word. Then Hope did an about-face.

While the stepsisters discussed the possibility of bringing Thomas back last week on Bold and the Beautiful, he had his ear to the door. The part he heard swelled his head and he ran to Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) to gloat.

But then Steffy went after Hope’s Achilles heel, which is Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton). Once she mentioned how her husband might feel, Hope snapped out of it. Then there was no way Hope would take her old designer back, or so it seemed.

All Steffy had to do was mention Liam and Hope Logan became frazzled last week on B&B. But she knew her step-sister made a valid point. If Hope were to work with Thomas once again, Liam would be livid.

B&B Spoilers: Thomas Forrester Still Devious

Right now Thomas Forrester is staying with Paris, but they’re keeping this a secret. His attitude is anything but humble as he goes about trying to squirm his way back into Forrester Creations.

He’s also a bit devious by leaving his new designs behind for Hope Logan to see. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers hint at a problem surfacing next week. It looks as if Hope likes what she sees in those designs he’s left behind. So, she believes what Thomas created could bring HFTF back to life.

So, the business vs. personal dilemma haunts Hope once again. On one hand, Hope Logan could save the line, which has many people counting on this who worked hard at keeping it going. But on the other hand, working with Thomas again comes with so many wrongs.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Decision About Thomas Out of Hope’s Hands?

There are many reasons not to bring Thomas back to FC. Starting with the problem of trust. No one, including Hope Logan, can trust him. Plus if he returns he skirts the consequences of his behavior. Not to mention what message this would send to their son, Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri).

Douglas might see Thomas Forrester returning to the family business as forgiveness for his father, without consequence for his deeds. Plus this would force Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) to work with him at FC.

This wouldn’t be fair after what he’s done to her. But someone unexpected might step in and make that decision to bring him back despite all the reasons not to. As Steffy Forrester said, the ultimate decision is Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) to make.

B&B Spoilers: It’s Only Business

Ridge has been away for a while soul-searching after the two women he loves simultaneously dumped him. So, his attitude towards life may look a bit different these days on Bold and the Beautiful.

With time gone by, there’s a chance that Ridge may see HFTF problems a bit differently than his daughter Steffy does. Ridge didn’t keep the family business on top by letting personal problems get in the way.

With that said, he may decide that despite the personal issues the family has with Thomas, he’s treating him like any other designer. You might fire someone if they sabotaged production at work. But not because they wrecked someone’s marriage in their personal lives.

Still, with HFTF tanking, the best thing for the company is likely to let Thomas Forrester return. Ridge may do this despite Hope Logan’s worries about how her mother or husband will take the news. But the head dressmaker may see this as a business decision only in upcoming Bold and the Beautiful episodes.

So, chances are the Forrester son will pluck the line out of the drain. But he’ll likely not be that changed man he promised to be once again. This will undoubtedly keep Hope Logan leery of Thomas Forrester around every corner going forward. Next, it looks like an uncomfortable work environment is about to unfold on the CBS soap.
