Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Liam’s Proposal Comes With Strings Attached

Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) gets down on one knee but Hope isn’t ecstatic over a proposal with strings attached. Liam believes Hope made a mistake in working with and sharing custody with Thomas. He won’t give her the ring he’s holding until she promises to cut Thomas out of her life completely, which means ending the co-parenting and their collaboration on the Hope for the Future line. He promises that they will still protect Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri), but she can’t keep custody.

Douglas and Thomas burst through the cabin door. Thomas is sorry—not sorry—for interrupting the proposal. Thomas takes a jab at Liam for waiting to pop the question until Thomas called him out on it. He picks up on the tension between Liam and Hope and is livid when he realizes that Liam’s marriage proposal required Hope to cut him and Douglas out of her life. Liam and Thomas get into a shoving match until Hope and Douglas return from visiting Beth Spencer (Madeline Valdez and River Davidson).

Thomas begs Hope not to give in to Liam’s demands. Hope refuses Thomas’ request that they speak privately. She thanks Douglas for bringing Beth back to her and for being the best big brother and sends Thomas and Douglas home for the night.

Hope asks Liam to reconsider putting conditions on his proposal. How can Liam make her choose between him and the little boy she loves so much? Liam refuses to allow Thomas to continue poisoning their lives. Liam scoffs at Hope’s suggestion that they set firmer boundaries for Thomas. Thomas will violate every boundary she sets and is using Douglas as a human shield.
