By Amandah HancenOn Dec 17, 2025

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers are in for Thursday, December 18, 2025! In tomorrow’s episode, fans can expect Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) to return to Forrester Creations.

Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) panics about his future. Plus, Katie Logan Spencer (Heather Tom) admits what’s holding her back from accepting Bill Spencer’s (Don Diamont) offer.

Keep reading, and let’s talk about what is coming up in the CBS soap opera. (Make sure to check out our WEEKLY B&B spoilers, here!)

Thomas Forrester Returns

Let’s start off with Thomas, who returns to Los Angeles. The young man isn’t just in town to pick up Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri).

The man struts into Forrester Creations with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and others following him. As they walk into the showroom, Thomas declares that this is where he needs to be!

Of course, this will make Ridge happy, especially in light of Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) retirement. However, Thomas just can’t expect to waltz in and take any job he wants. I understand he’s the son of the boss, but that’s not fair to Deke at all.

Hope Logan Spencer’s Dilemma

Then, Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jaqueline MacInnes Wood) puts pressure on Hope Logan Spencer (Annika Noelle).

In a preview clip, Hope says there must be a way to make both work, but Steffy says there isn’t. So, it sounds like Steffy and Ridge expect Hope to fire Deke in favor of Thomas returning.

Hope does tell Steffy that Deke’s designs are fresh. However, Steffy looks like her mind is made up.

Deke Sharpe Panics

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for tomorrow’s episode reveal that Deke will panic about his future. The young man finds out that Thomas is back and wants his old position back.

Hope might need time to think about what to do, but Steffy won’t give her long. I wonder if Hope will propose a fashion showdown before making a final decision? Both seem to be talented designers, but which one is the right one for HFTF?

Katie Logan’s Confession

There is also Katie, who has a big career decision to make. Katie is loyal to Forrester Creations but keeps feeling dismissed.

Katie will explain to both Bill and Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) what’s holding her back from saying yes to the fashion house offer.

What is Katie’s fear? Is it too big of an undertaking? Is family loyalty an issue? Is Katie concerned that she might not be viewing the situation with clear eyes? In any case, we shall find out!
