The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers recap for Thursday, June 8, reveals Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) was on top of all the details ahead of the Rome trip, so he went over everything with Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).
Once Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) showed up, she had a private conversation with Thomas and Ridge that led to some shocking revelations.
Since Ridge and Taylor kept sharing a strange look about Rome, Thomas wondered what was going on.
Although Thomas promised he wouldn’t do anything to mess things up, Taylor admitted he wasn’t the one they were worried about.
Ridge offered updates on some buzz going around about how Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle) might have feelings for Thomas.
Of course, Thomas thought that was ridiculous and didn’t get why Ridge would get involved in office gossip.
Ridge and Taylor confirmed that the news actually came from Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), but Thomas thought his sister was being paranoid and letting her view of Hope cloud her judgment.
Taylor and Ridge wondered if Hope had done anything to lead Thomas on, so Thomas flashed back to Hope nearly kissing him in San Francisco.
However, Thomas argued that he simply worked with Hope and co-parented with her, so he insisted there was no reason to be concerned.
After Thomas left, Ridge noted that if the person Thomas was interested in was now interested in him as well, it could open the door to something.
Taylor decided they shouldn’t worry, but they should keep their eyes open.
At the cabin on Thursday’s B&B episode, Hope practiced a speech in Italian and got Liam Spencer’s (Scott Clifton) praise since he was sure this fashion preview would be a huge success.
Nevertheless, Liam had to bring up the topic they both struggled with and annoyed Hope by once again sharing his concerns about Thomas.
In fact, Liam saw no reason why Thomas should even travel to Rome since his designs were done.
Hope insisted that she’d seen the changes Thomas had implemented in his life and the work he’d put in to get better.
Liam said he wasn’t asking Hope to get a new designer, but she replied that he was telling her not to bring Thomas to Rome.
After Hope refused to cut Thomas out, she said she couldn’t ask Ridge to leave his own son out of the trip.
Liam thought it’d be fair under the circumstances, but Hope declared that Thomas was going to Rome and ended the discussion.
Once Hope said she didn’t need protection, she added that all she ever needed was Liam’s trust.
Liam felt that trouble was brewing, but Hope took off for the office and left him to dwell on his thoughts.
After Liam flashed back to some close moments between Thomas and Hope, he looked pensive over Hope insisting she couldn’t imagine going to Rome without Thomas.
In the design office later, Thomas could tell something was bothering Hope, so he pushed her to open up.
Hope admitted that Liam had an issue with them going to Rome together, so Thomas wasn’t surprised.
Although nothing Hope said could get through to Liam, she argued that she knew the kind of man Thomas was better than Liam did.
That meant a lot to Thomas, who talked about overcoming his mistakes and hopefully proving to Liam that they were all in the past.
Thomas also declared that this trip could change their lives, so his words echoed in Hope’s ears as he went back to work.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Hope and Thomas’ time in Italy will indeed prove life-changing, so stick with B&B.
