The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Ridge Suspicion Of Thomas – Zoe Is In Danger From Villain

Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) shocked Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes), as much as anyone, on ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’. His marriage proposal to her came out of the blue, as Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) later said.

Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) sat by, looking back at the woman he sees as his mother here on this earth. He’s come to love Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and believed, like his father, that she should and would marry Thomas.

Well, that happened, but ‘Thope’ quickly collapsed due to the bald-faced lies he told and the outrageous actions he took.

Thomas does not love Zoe, but he said those words when pressed by Barnes’ character. Zoe felt she had to ask him that most important question because he’d never actually said the words to her. To do so in front of the gathered throng provided the needed answer.

Viewers know what Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) suspect. Thomas is openly lying as part of his ploy to force Hope into asking him to marry her.

Yes, he’s pushed marriage under Hope’s nose quite often. But he’s changed his approach since the vat plunge, slowly painting Hope as the villain. Now, he wants her to come back to him, through his promoted guilt-trip, and remarry him so that Douglas will be happy.

In Thomas’ mind, he’s come to see Hope as the problem. Holding more than one dysfunctional thought, he also sees her as his solution.

The increasing public references to his failed efforts to be with Hope is a message. He wants to embarrass Hope in front of other people in order to increase the pressure for her to give in.

Brooke told Zoe that Thomas was looking at Hope, to gauge her reaction to the proposal as it was happening. Zoe rejected Brooke’s analysis as an opinion that was based on being Hope’s mother. Sadly, Zoe is wrong and has put herself in a bad spot, as Brooke also said.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Ridge Forrester Asks Insightful Questions

Taking Ridge’s acceptance of Thomas’ engagement explanation as conclusive evidence that Kaye’s character remains an enabler would be naive. Yes, he did seem to endorse his son’s efforts, but the telling questions Ridge used to press Thomas were important.

From this point forward Thomas will need to prove something that’s impossible. He can’t perform flawlessly every moment of every day and has made mistakes, some through arrogance, others by overreaching.

Thomas will inevitably slip up, revealing that he actually loves Hope, not Zoe. Ridge only needs to be present during one of those moments in order for Thomas to lose his number one backer and protector. Here’s hoping Ridge continues asking questions leading up to this proposed wedding day and that Zoe is able to realize the truth ahead of time.
