The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers state that the Beth dilemma is going to get very complicated in the months ahead.

They will ask the question of who is really Beth’s mother? Is it Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) the one who gave birth to her or Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood –the only mother she has ever known. Here’s what’s ahead on B&B.

Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Liam Spencer Is In An Emotional State

The fact is, this is a very emotional time for Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton). The actor said that his alter ego is very worried about his wife, Hope. She’s not handling Beth’s death very well and seems to be latching on to Thomas Forrester’s (Matthew Atkinson) son as her own. It’s a scary thing to watch for Liam.

Clifton said that in time, they will reveal the baby secret. But he thinks the critical thing is not if they reveal it, because they will. It is when will they and the timing of it will matter.

Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Whose Baby Is Phoebe?

Scott said that the interesting thing about this storyline is Steffy believes her adoption is legit and she loves the baby as she was her own. She has no reason to think that Phoebe is actually Beth.

Another interesting point about this story is that both women –Hope and Steffy—have a reason to believe they are Phoebe’s mother. One gave birth to her and the other is the only mother she knows.

“When they reveal it actually matters because it changes the nature of the conflict.”

“The longer this baby is ‘Phoebe’ and not ‘Beth,’ the longer she is bonding with Steffy and Kelly. The more maternal Steffy feels the less it’s going to matter, as far as she is concerned, that the baby is biologically Hope’s. Potentially, you have this conflict where Hope’s saying, ‘I’ve been robbed,’ and Steffy’s saying, ‘I don’t care; you can’t rip a baby away from [the only mother she’s known] at this point. Then you have the philosophical question, which is, ‘Who is really the baby’s ‘mother?’” Clifton said in an interview to CBS Soaps In Depth.

It’ll be interesting to see how this all turns out. Hopefully, they reveal the baby secret for May sweeps and don’t drag this out for a year or more.

    Seriously?! Brad Bell can spin this anyway he wants but the law is clear, the baby belongs to Hope, she did not willingly give up her child, no papers were signed offering her child up for adoption and she was lied to by the delivering doctor. That’s like saying a kidnapped child should stay with the kidnappers because they have possession of the child. Legally this storyline is getting weak and increasingly more unrealistic with each new direction this storyline takes.

    Steffy

      Are you FOR real- its obvious you’d keep a kid that’s not yours-

    • Guest

      Really, the child was kidnapped. The baby is Hope and Liam’s.

  • Guest

    The law will always be on Hope’s side. It her biological baby. The ‘baby only knows me as her mother’ only works if you do drag this out for several years when the child would actually know what was happening. Then it would be for the families to be careful about the transition for the sake of the child but knowing how these two feel about each other it would be difficult. Plus you then have an older ‘sister’ to consider. Kelly will want to stay close to her sister. It will be a bigger mess if this remain a secret for a long time. Now who will you give the guilt to besides the dr, Zoe and Flo – Taylor, Steffy, Ridge- someone else- who will overhear the secret and keep it for now?

      OMG- SHE’S hopes & Liams BABY- let the rich bastards “suffer the way Hope & Liam have” I Hope that child gets ripped our of the clutches of these thieves

    • Guest

      You can’t even justify that “I’m the only mother that baby has known” business EVER. The child was placed after the commission of a crime. The crime was Kidnapping!

  • Guest

    Well by law this baby belongs to Hope she was stolen and no matter what the circumstances are of the adoption or anything this baby belongs to Hope and hope is her mother.

    • Guest

      HOPES BABY- , hell no to the slutty forresters FANS

  • Guest

    Get a grip ” steffy lovers” Beth was stolen from both her parents, she belongs to Hope & Liam- they never put her up for adoption- “stolen” illegally-blackmarket – give Hope back her her CHILD- To bad Taylor kept it hidden thar Re”evil” was the swapper, she doesn’t belong to the hateful money bag Forresters- “slutty” Taylor or Ridge has no ties to her, i would keep that child away from those “3” as soon as i found out what THEY were all in on- who cares they were to stupid to figure the swap out- all the Red flags & that group are as dumb as a snail trying to slither THROUGH salt !!
    GIVE BACK THE BABY – STUPID IDIOTS

  • Guest

    Come on now, by law that baby is Hope’s and has gone on way to long. I hope this mess is resolved long before May sweeps. Also, as of late can’t Bell do something better than this it’s getting tiresome…Can you move on and lose the new Thomas and Douglas would be wanting his own mommy not a replacement….way to soon for a replacement mother.

  • Guest

    Liam and Steffy

    • Guest

      OK, Ela, justify that for us, go ahead, we’ll wait.

    • Guest

      It will backfire when kelly gets sick & needs $BILL- help- because these writers set the story long ago -& it will really be funny when the only child Liam has is Beth – & once again liam WILL be reminded of the romp in the shack with his dad & his wife at the time-

  • Guest

    Big John why do you need to insult people for having opinions calling people slutty Taylor fans. Have some respect. News flash it’s not real. Everything is in the script.

    • Guest

      Its. My opinion, don’t read my comments, & its obvious who’s fan you are!! Grow the hell up-well HELLO, & believe me i KNOW its fake- How can even in fiction anyone say a stolen baby belongs with an illegally adopted parent- give it a break, & they want the viewers opinions- NOT!!- the writers has dementia- that’s for sure, & then pushing down the viewers throat’s that JMW & ANNIKA have this awesome behind the scenes bonded friendship, is that SUPOST to make viewers like one actress more than the other, people are what the EMIT, & protraying a person like a ( ill clean up my opinion) “????”- the biggest MISTAKES they have made in their wrightings is the “father-in-law” scenes, that’s perverted , & steffy saying it was a mutual thing-that was beyond “SICK” – watch the news for a change, these sick things, happening to children, ” rape” – by close relatives or friends- “5” to “11” years old, even younger – our society needs to wake up- not promote these sick things that actually happens to babies —-i DON’T watch & won’t until the sick story line ends- MY OPINION-

  • praying lady

  • Guest

    HOPE

  • Guest

    You can’t even spin this differently! That baby belongs to Hope, the birth mother who never signed away her parental rights!

    • Guest

      Absolutly agree…the whole thing was illegal…prison time illeagal!! There shud be no where does Beth go…my kid comes home with ME!! Shes s baby…and wud never remember any of it ..plus she knos hope anyway since Hope visits regularly!!it shouldn’t be who does she stay with..ot shud be ..heres your baby Hope ..she isnt dead!!!!!

  • Guest

    The law is the law! There’s no question that Phoebe is Beth and goes to her mom! Dumb to even put this in a storyline.

  • praying lady

    Hope! Hope !Hope! The birth mother has a lot of rights Steffy has take enough for Hope so please let this story line come to end soon. So that LIAM AND HOPE CAN HAVE THEIR BABY BACK.

    • Guest

      Amen- Give the baby back where she belongs- Steffys parents have ruined enough lives- buy her a mannequin , that way she can dress it up, & not fold laundry 20 MINUTES out of a 30 minute show-

  • Guest

    The real mother………

  • Guest

    Hope should have her baby not steffy as its too cruel to keep Beth away from hope +Liam it’s their right to raise their own child Beth together

  • Guest

    The Beth saga is really getting old. It’s time to resolve and move on. It feels as if the baby should be 2 years old by now. Every Friday cliff hanger for the last month+ has been ‘will one of the whining ladies’ break and spill their guts. Now they introduced two whining guys…enough is enough already. It’s getting so boring…how many more months are we expected to care? The Thomas/Douglas twist is also pretty ridiculous.

  • Guest

    Hope and Liam , I mean it’s their baby and hope has blame herself over and over for baby Beth death .she needs her baby to feel complete.

  • Guest

    Some body please let me know when the episode airs when Flo confess and Hope learn Phebie is Beth, I’m getting tired of Thomas and everybody else who knows about phebie being Beth this has be over now the story line has been going on too long.
