The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers update for Friday, February 17, teases that Eric Forrester (John McCook) will once again remind Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) that his needs aren’t the priority. Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is in charge of Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) now, so she’s going to take that responsibility very seriously.
Thomas thinks he’s just going to waltz in the cliff house and see Douglas whenever he feels like it, but that’s not how this arrangement is going to work.
Eric will remind Thomas that he’s got a lot to make up for when it comes to broken trust.
Even so, Thomas won’t think Steffy’s going to ban him from seeing his son.
That may be true, but Thomas isn’t going to move himself in and take over guardian duties either.
Steffy will lay down the ground rules with Thomas soon and make it clear that she decides when he visits Douglas.
Although Steffy will promise not to block Thomas’ access, they’ll need to work out a proper visitation schedule and avoid any unpleasant surprises.
Steffy will remain on edge over Thomas’ past manipulation – and John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) will be just as wary.
Douglas needs stability right now, but he won’t have that if Thomas constantly comes around and tries to shake things up.
Thomas is going to throw a temper tantrum over Steffy’s view of the situation, so things will get pretty heated between them.
Since Steffy won’t want to make matters worse, she’ll decide to call Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) to play peacemaker before long.
In the meantime, Taylor and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) will reflect on Douglas choosing to live with Steffy instead of Thomas or Hope Logan (Annika Noelle).
Although Brooke will fret over the toll this is taking on Hope, she’ll understand that Douglas needs a change.
Brooke won’t blame Steffy for honoring Douglas’ wishes and will at least trust her more than she trusts Thomas.
Steffy is a great mom who cares about her nephew as well, so Brooke will know Douglas is in good hands.
Taylor will agree and may feel like it’ll be nice for Douglas to be in more neutral territory for a while.
After all the drama that’s played out between Hope and Thomas, Steffy can offer a safe zone.
B&B fans will Brooke and Taylor find common ground instead of reigniting their rivalry, so that’ll be another step forward for their friendship.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Taylor and Brooke will get updates on all the latest custody developments, so they’ll weigh in on the news and press on.
