The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers recap for Thursday, November 3, reveals that Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) trashed Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) for bailing – and then Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle) publicly praised her designer. Here’s how all the B&B drama went down.
At Il Giardino, Liam told Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) that he was at the fashion preview and planned to stay until he saw Hope with Thomas.
Cheering on Hope meant cheering on Thomas, too – and Liam just couldn’t watch him make moves on his wife. After eavesdropping on Hope’s glowing compliments, Liam overheard Thomas tell Hope there was nothing they couldn’t do together.
Liam also mentioned how Hope let Thomas hold her, so Wyatt and Bill were appalled. Bill thought Liam should’ve punched Thomas in the face, but Liam said he walked away for the sake of the show.
Liam asked if he was overreacting to Thomas, but Bill didn’t think so. Wyatt argued that whether Hope knew it or not, she needed Liam more than ever.
Bill disagreed with Wyatt and thought Liam could celebrate with Hope after the show concluded. That way, Liam didn’t have to watch Hope and Thomas together.
Liam insisted this was about him and his own state of mind. The thought of watching Hope arm and arm with Thomas just didn’t work for Liam.
Backstage, Thomas kept highlighting the fact that Liam wasn’t there, but he urged Hope to focus on the preview. After Hope and Thomas peeked around the curtain at the models on the runway, they wound up watching on a monitor.
Thomas praised Hope since her opinion was right on a particular dress and felt the crowd was loving this. Since Thomas thought Liam was acting stupid, he once again pushed Hope to concentrate on the show and not a guy who couldn’t handle being around her coworker.
Meanwhile, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) told Brooke Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Katie Logan (Heather Tom) that Hope had to sell the entire line with her showstopper. The fashion preview had good energy, but it was up to Hope to make it a grand slam.
Over with Thomas again, he gave Hope a pep talk before she changed into the showstopper gown. Thomas said he made that dress for Hope and rattled off all the wonderful qualities it embodied.
When Hope took that stage, Thomas felt certain that everyone would see someone who commands the room. Hope would show them why Thomas was a one-woman man – and he reiterated that woman was Hope.
Once Hope said Thomas was sweet, he insisted he was trying to be inspiring and added that he couldn’t wait to see her shine.
Hope donned the showstopper gown and shared one last moment with Thomas in the back. Thomas talked about bringing Hope’s vision to life and took her hand as he repeated they could do anything together.
Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) gave Hope a brief introduction before she strutted her stuff on the runway. Eric Forrester (John McCook) said they had a hit on their hands, so Ridge praised Thomas’ work – though Thomas was beaming with pride over Hope.
Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) smiled and clapped as Hope wowed the crowd. After the applause died down, Hope thanked everyone who helped make this line possible.
Hope also gave a shout-out to Douglas, Beth Spencer (River Davidson) and her husband – though she seemed uncomfortable when she got to Liam’s name.
Once Hope thanked Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz), she said she especially wanted to thank Thomas as her lead designer. Thomas ultimately came out to clasp hands with Hope in victory as they bowed in slow-motion.
