The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers tease that Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle) is in for some difficult times ahead. She’s stuck on Catalina Island alone and in heavy labor. It looks like she’ll get to a hospital soon enough, but she’ll still be all alone with Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) stuck in Los Angeles due to a storm.
Of course, if the storm is bad enough, then that might mean that only essential personnel are working in the hospital that night. In fact, it could just be Dr. Reese Buckingham (Wayne Brady) and Hope who are present for the delivery.
It is certainly looking like Reese will deliver baby Beth Spencer, and that he’ll do the unthinkable and end up selling Beth to cover his huge gambling debt.
Of course, if Reese sells baby Beth, then he’s going to have to come up with a cover story for Hope about what happened to the baby. Perhaps Hope will be unconscious for the delivery (or for parts of the delivery) and she’ll be easy duped into believing that her baby died. The only way that Reese’s plan to sell the baby will work is if he’s able to convince Hope that Beth died.
But Reese won’t have just Hope to convince. At some point after the birth, Liam, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), Brooke Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang), and Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo) will arrive on the island, and they’ll get the news about the baby’s “death.” Brooke especially will be devastated and she’ll offer comfort to Hope as she deals with the unthinkable.
Liam, Ridge, and Bill will be devastated, too, but they’ll also be angry and want some answers about what on earth went wrong with Beth’s delivery. Hope didn’t have a high-risk pregnancy by any means, and although she went into labor a bit early, it wasn’t so early as to think the baby wouldn’t survive.
Reese will be on the hot seat as everyone peppers him with questions about what went wrong and exactly why the baby died. Of course, Reese will know the truth and he’ll probably feel terrible for what he’s done, but he’ll also feel that he had no choice. He had to pay off his gambling debt, otherwise his debtors were going to harm his own daughter Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes).
At any rate, it’s going to be quite the scene on Catalina island as everyone struggles to comprehend what’s happened and make sense of a tragic death. Do you think that Reese will be able to convince everyone that Hope’s baby is gone for good? Or will someone catch on that everything doesn’t add up here?
