The Bold and the Beautiful recaps for July 10 – July 14, 2023, featured stubborn antics, a sight that no mother should see, and a whole lot of round-about dialogue.
Hope (Annika Noelle) declares her marriage to Liam (Scott Clifton) over, removes her wedding ring, and follows Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) upstairs to his bedroom…. Wyatt (Darin Brooks) does his utmost to convince Liam to return home and forgive Hope her betrayal with Thomas…. Deacon (Sean Kanan) pays an appreciative Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) a visit. She can’t muster much upset when he admits he doesn’t have a girlfriend.
RJ (Joshua Hoffman) pleads Hope’s case to Liam…. Hope and Thomas bask in their togetherness. Hope reiterates that her marriage is over, places the blame at Liam’s feet [as he’s supposedly been hung up on Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) throughout their marriage], and declares her desire to be with a man like Thomas — a man who wants her and only her. Thomas agrees that he fits that bill…. Sheila and Deacon ponder the might-have-beens.
Hope and Thomas are the topic of conversation at Forrester Creations. Though Katie (Heather Tom) comes down on Thomas, she grants Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that his son is a vital component of the company, and both agree that Hope made an impulsive mistake…. Liam grouses to RJ that he’s wasting his time. There’s no way he’ll ever be able to forgive Hope…. Hope ponders what she’s doing with her life and beseeches Thomas to keep their rendezvous between them.
Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) readily admits that it was her daughter who initiated the kiss shared between her and Thomas and agrees with Ridge that Thomas has seemed to have kept his promises to them. Ridge encourages Brooke to express those feelings to Thomas himself. In her efforts to do just that, Brooke comes upon an ajar door and several items belonging to her daughter. Brooke races upstairs and finds Hope and Thomas tangled up in each other’s arms…. Steffy condemns Hope’s recent actions.
Brooke is aghast by the sight of Hope and Thomas in bed together. Hope refuses to call what transpired between her and Thomas a mistake. Brooke orders Hope to return to her family and forget about what happened… Taylor (Krista Allen) expresses her concern that the kiss Hope laid on Thomas might trigger his darker impulses; Ridge scoffs…. Despite Wyatt’s best efforts, Liam remains bound and determined not to forgive Hope.
