What Happened Previously on B&B
Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie (Heather Tom) tied the knot after Bill caught her off guard with a surprise proposal. Their wedding came soon after Hope (Annika Noelle) and Liam’s (Scott Clifton) ceremony.
At the same time, Deke (Harrison Cone) attempted to guide Hope (Annika Noelle) in a new direction with Hope for the Future, but she brushed off his suggestions. He slipped a few of his own designs into the lineup and kept working at Forrester, though the recent shakeups left him uneasy. Deke confessed to Hope that he’s concerned about what lies ahead for him at the company.
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stunned Hope when she revealed Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) had returned and would be working on HFTF again. Hope wanted to keep her brother, but Steffy insisted that she and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) had already made the decision to let Deke go. After all, he was only there on a trial basis.
