‘Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Liam Challenged By Lope Life – Reboot With Steffy Looms

By Sean O'Brien

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers tease that Liam (Scott Clifton) is having a harder time than he’s admitted handling the realities of being married to Hope (Annika Noelle). The major drama of Beth’s (Isabella de Armas and Redford Prindiville) apparent demise turned ‘Lope’s’ shared life into something neither spouse expected.

Now, as Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and the girls temporarily live overseas, Liam is considering a visit. Doing so would leave Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) with an open path to Hope, just as tenured B&B fans have been expecting.

Hope and Thomas were a couple many moons ago. It was so far back, in soapy time, that both characters actually had different faces. Today, with Noelle and Atkinson embodying each alter ego, a couple’s shift appears in the making.

The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Monday, April 22: Thomas’ Sabotage Plot Moves Forward – Liam’s Romantic Plan Brings Lope Passion

View Story

Liam’s challenge isn’t love. He does have a full, genuine belief that he and Hope are and should remain married. But after Beth was sold by Reese (Wayne Brady) to Steffy, unbeknownst to her, Taylor (Hunter Tylo) and Lope, Hope’s feelings shifted.

As B&B fans recall, Liam’s wishy-washy state of mind led Steffy to tell him to leave her and marry Hope, which he did. When a reversal of emotional fortune descended upon Lope, Hope told Liam to return to Steffy. He didn’t and that was telling.

The answer to who Liam loved more seemed to be revealed by Clifton’s character’s firm decision to remain with Hope. He didn’t even consider leaving her, as Liam considers their family to be Hope and him. If a baby can be part of their future, then so be it. But no matter the future, Liam loves Hope and wants to be with her.

Hope’s grief recently began breaking because of Douglas (Henry Joseph Samiri). Her entire demeanor has almost completely rebounded because she’s been able to stop thinking about Beth’s loss twenty-four-seven. This is a positive development but is also establishing conflict.

Liam recognizes that Hope isn’t ready to think about trying to have another baby. She believes the loss of two children means that she’s not meant to be a mother.

It will be epic when Beth is revealed. When that happens, Hope and Liam will be overjoyed, but Steffy will be crushed because Phoebe will disappear.

As the above plays out, Liam won’t be able to gauge Hope’s response or his own. Lope will appear ready to bond and move on with their first-born.

But Hope’s called for Steam reboot will also be tied up, as Steffy will then be feeling a loss. Liam won’t need to be told to help the other love of his life and what follows can’t be predicted.

      Why don’t they just start a commune and they can all live together. This back and forth stuff is like watching a tennis match. B&B really needs new storylines.

        I totally agree with you Loopy. This house hopping is getting old. On another note. Who is this new person Thomas? I know he has a back story, but so far I haven’t seen anything from this actor that makes me want to become vested in the character. No matter what words come out of his mouth, no expression comes out of his eyes or face. Kinda like when my sister gets botox, her face doesn’t move either.

        LOLOLOL – Thomas is Ridge and Taylor’s son (Steffy’s brother) The character comes and goes and every time it’s a new guy playing the part. When he left the show the last time he was seriously involved with Sally but because he found out that Caroline (the mother of this little boy) was ‘dying’ (thanks to Bill Spencer and Caroline) he went to NY to be with her and Douglas (his son). He later found out that was all a big lie but stayed with her anyway. Now that she is dead he has come back home and has his sights set on Hope as they were involved before. Sorry if this is too much information 🙂

        Thanks Loopy. I’m pretty new to B&B so I’ve been going on line and researching characters as they show up. Thomas though confused me. Thanks for the history lesson. Happy Easter.

        Any time. I missed a long period of the B&B when I was working but since I’ve retired I’ve got back into it. I just wish this baby story was done with. It’s been over done on so many shows.

      I think Hpe and Liam is stronger than ever. I do not think Liam will cheat on Hope. I think he will control himself. Hope will catch Thomas at his game. She will find out that Thomas made the drawing
