Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Liam and Hope Fight For Custody of Douglas – Thomas’ Parental Rights To Be Terminated?

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) and Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) want to do their part to protect Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri). Noelle hinted during a recent interview that another custody battle could be on the horizon. Based on Liam and Steffy Forrester’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) recent comments on the soap, that could quickly become a reality.

The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers – Original Adoption Agreement

B&B spoilers previously teased Hope would want to get custody of Douglas. At the time, she believed that Thomas would need his parental rights terminated. That is when she consulted with an adoption attorney, who told her about California’s strange adoption law that doesn’t require parental termination. She was also told that by being Douglas’ adoptive mother first, it would be easier for her to get sole custody later on.

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, Annika Noelle discussed the wedding storyline. She said that before, there were naysayers when she claimed that Douglas would be safer in her care. However, after the truth about Thomas comes out, people might think Hope is the better parenting choice after all. This seemed to be a huge hint of a looming custody battle.

B&B Spoilers – Steffy Forrester’s Speech

During a recent episode, Steffy talked about how Liam and Hope belong together and confessed her part in the “Steam” smooching scheme. Then, she added that Liam, Hope, Douglas and Beth Spencer (River Davidson and Madeline Valdez) all belong together and are a family. She also admitted that she hoped Thomas was taking his role as a father seriously, but his latest scheme proves that Douglas needs protection.

The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers – Liam Spencer’s Admission

When Hope found out that the “Steam” kiss was a set-up orchestrated by Thomas, Liam told her he should never have given her an ultimatum when proposing. He admitted that Douglas was a part of their family and then proposed again. All of these are clues that there is an upcoming custody battle.

B&B Spoilers – Should Thomas Forrester Lose Custody?

Thomas has repeatedly used, manipulated and intimidated his young son for his own benefit. For a short time, it almost seemed like Thomas was trying to be a decent father. But then he went back to psychologically torturing his little boy. It is clear that he doesn’t, and perhaps never will put his son’s well-being first.

Do you think Douglas would be better off away from Thomas and in the custody of Hope and Liam? Is it possible for a soap villain to ever change for the better? Fans will have to keep watching to see how this storyline plays out.
