The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers tease that Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle) may end up moving on with someone else after she realizes Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) betrayed her. Liam slept with Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), so he’ll have to suffer for that eventually.
Of course, finding a new man would be a great way to punish Liam. Even if that’s not Hope’s main goal, it probably won’t be something she minds doing. After Liam’s many years of waffling and heartbreaking, he deserves to deal with a little heartbreak, too.
There are two obvious love interest options for Hope if a “Lope” split happens – and either one would be hard for Liam to handle. Let’s consider Hope’s looming possibilities and determine which one would hurt worse!
For starters, there’s Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson). After Liam mistakenly assumed Hope and Thomas were kissing, he flew into a rage. Liam suggested he could deal with anyone but Thomas, so that suggests Thomas might be the most painful person Hope could move on with.
It’d be extra hard since Liam would know he led to “Thope” getting it on! Hope would’ve been content to stay committed to her marriage if Liam hadn’t slept with Steffy based on his false assumption.
It’ll be Liam’s fault if Hope and Thomas actually become a couple, so that could indeed be a good writing strategy to make Liam pay.
However, Thomas’ history is problematic and there’ll always be the fear that his old obsession will lead to more trouble. Thomas’ recent issues were related to brain trauma, but that doesn’t erase the painful memories of the past.
Some B&B fans just aren’t interested in seeing Hope and Thomas as a legitimate pairing.
Fortunately, there’s another option to consider depending on how The Bold and the Beautiful writers want to take things. John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) may be single again if he dumps Steffy following her own betrayal. That presents the possibility that Finn and Hope could be drawn together.
It’s possible Liam will realize he’d have a huge problem with Hope moving on with anyone, not just Thomas. After all, Liam was territorial when Steffy first started dating Finn. How would Liam feel if Hope started dating the compassionate and good-looking doc next?
If Hope divorces Liam, it’d cut like a knife watching his former wife move on with a handsome, successful doctor who’s actually capable of commitment. Finn knows how to treat a woman right – unlike Liam the waffle king! Hope would be living her best life while Liam was left to wallow in his pain.
Thomas and Finn are both excellent options when it comes to crushing Liam in the aftermath of his betrayal exposure. Which one would hurt Liam worse? We’ll offer updates as other B&B news rolls in.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say some shocking moments are still to come, so stay tuned. CDL will have other scorching Bold and the Beautiful spoilers, news and updates, so stop by again soon.
