The Bold and The Beautiful Recap Monday, December 23: Thomas Shows His True Colors – Liam Has A Bad Feeling

The Monday, December 23, episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, opens with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) assuring Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) that he has nothing to worry about. Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) is merely a means to an end: he’s the designer she needs to save her line and win the fashion showdown, nothing more. She will not be manipulated by him, ever again.

B&B Recap – Thomas Forrester Shows His True Colors

Meanwhile, Thomas shows his true colors as his obsession with Hope grows. He studies the drawing he made of himself kissing Hope and vows that they’ll be together soon. He later tells Quinn Forrester (Rena Sofer) that he’s happy about the divorce and believes that Shauna Fulton (Denise Richards) will finally bring his father happiness.

Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes) is completely on board with whatever Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) needs her to do to discover the truth about Thomas. Steffy suspects that her brother is still fixated on Hope. Both Thomas and Zoe hurt her so much, she’s not convinced they’ve changed. Steffy interrogates Zoe about her kiss with Thomas. Even Zoe can’t decide if the kiss was real or if it was perfectly timed to be seen by Hope. Zoe romanticizes Thomas’ live-on-the-edge personality, but Steffy fears that he will put Hope, Liam, and Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) in harm’s way again. Thomas walks in on Zoe’s secret meeting with Steffy.
