The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers recap for Thursday, April 13, reveals that Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) met with Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) in the design office at Forrester Creations, so that gave them a chance to coordinate their co-parenting schedule.
Liam also brought up Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and wondered if he was really OK, so Steffy assumed this was about the infamous fall off the riser.
Although Steffy thought that Liam had overreacted to Thomas breaking Hope Spencer’s (Annika Noelle) fall, she also understood his concerns based on Thomas’ history.
Liam asked if there was a reason for him to be concerned now, but Steffy insisted she wouldn’t have brought Thomas back on Hope for the Future if he hadn’t changed.
Despite Liam’s lingering doubts, Steffy said that if she thought Thomas was the same lying manipulator that he’d been in the past, she wouldn’t have exposed Hope to that kind of trauma.
Once Steffy declared that she wouldn’t put Hope or her marriage in harm’s way, she pointed out that she truly believed Thomas had changed.
Liam still worried that Thomas wouldn’t stay on the right path, but he didn’t want to be a controlling husband.
Steffy knew Liam was a kind, nurturing and supportive husband instead – and she was sure Hope knew that as well.
Liam ultimately thanked Steffy for the talk, so she reminded him not to bottle things up and come to her anytime.
That said, Steffy urged Liam not to worry about things that weren’t even there.
According to Steffy, Liam had nothing to worry about when it came to Thomas and Hope.
In the CEO office on Thursday’s B&B episode, Hope had a Hope for the Future meeting with Thomas, Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz), Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) and Charlotte (Camelia Somers).
Charlotte shared updates on the latest numbers, so everyone was impressed with how they were bouncing back due to Thomas’ latest work.
Zende noted that no one understood Hope’s vision like Thomas did.
Hope approved some new charities that Paris suggested partnering with before she spoke to Charlotte alone.
Charlotte commented on the positive changes Thomas had made – and later, she seemed a bit flirty as she invited Thomas to meet with her to go over some details.
Next, Thomas was glad the others had cleared out since he had something to talk to Hope about.
After Thomas once again expressed his gratitude over rejoining the line, he assured Hope that he respected her as well as her message and marriage.
Thomas felt like he was finally moving on from the past and was proud of his progress, so Hope said she was proud, too.
Once Thomas discussed how his feelings for Hope had matured, he reflected on how he previously thought they belonged together.
Now Thomas could see that it was Liam who made Hope happy.
Although Thomas had a history of doing extreme things, he was thankful that Hope had given him another chance.
Hope suggested that the right woman was out there for Thomas somewhere, especially now that he’d made changes to his life.
After Hope said Thomas might even be ready for a relationship, she added that he had a lot of love to give.
Hope noted that Thomas may not have met the right woman yet – or maybe she was already right there at Forrester Creations.
Once Hope brought up the vibe between Thomas and Paris, he insisted it was merely a friendly one.
Hope also mentioned the model who was interested in Thomas, but he didn’t see that going anywhere either.
Even so, Hope felt that Thomas must go out from time to time.
Thomas acted like he had to focus on the line, but Hope said a date or two wouldn’t hinder their progress.
After Thomas laughed over Hope sounding like his mother, Hope took that as a compliment since Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) was a doctor.
Thomas was excited to find a woman for him in the near future, but he reiterated that he needed to focus on the line right now.
As Thomas reflected on his crazy thoughts of the past, he was glad those days were over.
Hope flashed back to a Thomas fantasy and pointed out that having crazy thoughts didn’t mean Thomas had to act on them.
Thomas corrected Hope since he was no longer having those crazy thoughts and repeated that those days were over.
Once Hope was alone, she remembered some close moments of being in sync with Thomas and letting him touch her on the riser.
Hope’s smile turned to a grimace as she thought back to some of her fantasies, including when she imagined Thomas during lovemaking with Liam.
After Hope let out a shaky breath and gripped her head in frustration, she told herself that can never happen and kept repeating it in her head.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Hope and Liam’s strained relationship will face more problems, so stay tuned for news on how Thomas will affect things between them.
