The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Hope Spencer Is Conflicted
Hope does not want Douglas Forrester (Django Ferri) to leave the cabin and move in with Thomas. Like Liam, she fears what that change could mean for the Spencers.
But Hope’s main concern is her adopted son. She knows he has been doing well during these years since she accepted legal responsibility for Thomas and Caroline Spencer’s (Linsey Godfrey) son.
However, Thomas made a skilled play by asking Hope to visit the Forrester mansion, where Douglas was having fun. How could mom tell her son he had to leave? She did not, and so he remained.
