THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Hope ‘Kisses’ Thomas, Liam Comforts Brooke … A Sign of Things to Come?
Monday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, had fans of the CBS soap opera abuzz, and from the looks of it, the long-running series may shake up several of its relationships on the canvas.
However, the big question on viewers minds was the kiss and seductive moment between Hope (Annika Noelle) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson). Was it real, or did Thomas, or even, Hope, imagine it?
Here’s what went down: Hope is alone with Thomas at the design studio at Forrester Creations. At first, Thomas fills Hope in on Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) dumping her mother, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) for his mother, Taylor (Krista Allen). After that exchange, the two realize they have a lot of work to do to get the dress designs ready for the upcoming fashion show. Thomas tells Hope his latest design is behind the changing screen and asks if she would like to try it on. Hope agrees and slips into the dress behind the screen.
When Hope steps out in front of Thomas in the dress, things get very steamy between them. Thomas runs his hands down her back and tells Hope she looks ‘beautiful’. Hope chimes in that he probably says that to all the models. Thomas tells her that he is a one-woman man and that woman is her! All of a sudden Hope moves into kiss Thomas on the lips and they make out. Suddenly, the two pull-back and stare at one another.
Meanwhile, Brooke is beside herself over Ridge abandoning her and their marriage for Taylor. Bill (Don Diamont), who has shown up to be there for her is being told by Brooke to leave. Enter Bill’s son, Liam (Scott Clifton). He shows up, and helps out Brooke by telling his dad to make his exit. Once Bill is gone, Brooke continues to talk to Liam about the end of her marriage. Finally, she asks Liam to leave. She needs some time alone. As he exits, Liam glances to the the bottle of vodka nearby, worrying that Brooke could start drinking again. As soon as Liam leaves, an emotional Brooke heads straight to the vodka. However, right before she takes a swig … who should show back up? Liam! As the episode concludes, Brooke weeps inconsolably in Liam’s arms.
Many B&B viewers have been calling this for awhile …. Brooke and Liam will end up having an affair or something more, while Hope and Thomas will hook-up.
So, what do you think? Did Thomas or Hope dream-up that the steamy kiss or did it happen for real? Do you think Brooke and Liam will be headed for a tryst or more? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section. But first, check out the passionate moment between Hope and Thomas below.

what in the world was with hope and thomas hopefully hope no pun intended is using him to figure out why he and steffy are acting like 2 twelve year olds please no brooke and bill and no brooke and liam where you know they are headed. the writing out of quinn was such an insult to the character Why can’t they put bill with li it’s new and interesting but beautiful doesn’t like to be bold !
I just may stop watching if stories progress as surmised. The show needs a refresh of concept and mission not a rewarming of tired triangles, short-lived love, and in-law romance.
Ok,I am.done with this show! Brad Bell writes to entertain himself!! Too crazy for me!!
“Many B&B viewers have been calling this for awhile …. Brooke and Liam will end up having an affair or something more.”
I find it difficult to believe that B&B viewers have been calling for a Brooke-Liam . . . whatever.
No. Just no.
Michael…I so agree with you re: Liam and Brooke. NO! It’s bad enough we have had to put up with him and Steffy over the years, not Brooke, too. He and Hope should just have gone to Eric’s house and brought Douglas home. Big mistake here that they didn’t. Which has lead to where we are now.
Viewers have not been calling for a Brooke-Liam liaison. Yuck. Why would Liam go there??? It doesn’t make sense.
The whole love twisted story line is discussing, Now putting Brooke with Liam in a love affair. Brooke is Liam’s mother in.law. sinful,.
Well, what’s new here? Nothing! Hope will succumb to Thomas’s charms and good ‘ole Brooke will bed another daughter’s husband, something she’s known to do before. What a slut. At least that’s one thing I agree with the Forrester clan on.
Thank you for saying it..Brooke is a slut! She has no redeeming qualities and all her tears are brought about by her own actions over the years. She will have an affair with Liam because she’s learned nothing from her past mistakes. Her motto in life is if it feels good, do it and everyone else doesn’t matter.
I wondered if Brooke might dally with another son-in-law, but I don’t think Liam would go there. I was surprised Hope kissed Thomas.
I actually am in favor of a Looke pairing, but ONLY if it happens after Hope cheats or leaves Liam. I don’t want a rehash of the Deacon-Bridget-Brooke story.
I’d like to see Eric and Li together. Li reminds me of Stephanie and is age appropriate for Eric. Donna should move on to Bill or someone new.
Carter and Katie together is great. Love the direction of that. Although I wish they’d been able to do more with Quinn’s exit, they waited too long to talk to Sofer about their/her plans. At least she can come back with the way they handled it.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Will Ava Tie the Knot With Drew?

On the Friday, November 13 episode of General Hospital, Drew (Cameron Mathison) convinces Ava (Maura West) they need to get married, to each other! Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) hopes to get the DNA results on Jude (Will Traval) she has waited for, and Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) secretly co-conspire to find out who in Port Charles had the infamous tick!
Here’s what went down: Drew explained to Ava that they needed to get hitched ASAP, that way, they couldn’t be forced to testify against each other in the Jack Brennan case. After initially being kind of sick of the thought of marrying Drew, he made her change her mind, by throwing out the fact that if she lands in jail Sonny (Maurice Benard) will have Avery (Ayla Bullington) all to himself.
Next, Ava heads to GH to ask Lucas (Van Hansis) to be her witness in marrying Drew. Lucas has already figured out the reason Ava is marrying Drew because it has something to do with Brennan’s death. Explaining she hates the idea of getting married to Drew, she has run out of other options. Lucas agrees to help her, but firmly tells Ava nobody would believe it was a real marriage anyway.

CAN MOLLY AND JOE STOP THE WEDDING?
At the same time, Drew asked Martin (Michael E. Knight) for a post-nuptial agreement. Martin was not happy to hear that Drew was going to marry Ava, warning that prison was a better option than tying himself to a woman like Ave Jerome.
Eventually Ava, Lucas, Drew, and Martin gathered at the city clerk’s office. Lucas comes up with a way to derail or stall the nuptials by saying that they need to wait for Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) and Avery to show up, as they should be a part of this, too.
Lucas may have saved the day, because Molly (Kristen Vaganos) and Joe (Jonathan Bennett) went to Drew’s office to serve him his warrant, but found the office door open. Next, Joe found a sticky note on Drew’s folder that revealed Drew had obtained a marriage license. A light bulb goes off in his head and he realized Ava and Drew are getting married, so he and Molly rush off to City Hall to try and stop it.

IS JUDE THE TRUE BABY DADDY?
Elsewhere, after receiving a text message that the DNA results are in at the hospital, Brook Lynn ends her discussion over Jude and baby Phoebe with Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and runs out of the Quartermaines.
Once Brook Lynn gets off the elevator at GH, she sees Jude and Britt Kelly Thiebaud) looking might close. She quickly heads back towards the elevator sight unseen and was clearly shaken by what she saw. Earlier at the doctors and nurses hub, Elizabeth helped Dante by confirming by an ear gesture they had worked out; that the patient with the tick was Ava Jerome.
You can check out the scenes where Lucas gets a visit from Ava and he learns she wants him to be her witness in marrying Drew at City Hall.
Now weigh-in: do you think Ava and Drew will tie the knot before Joe and Molly make it to City Hall? What do you think the DNA results will show once Brook Lynn gets her hands on them? Have they been tampered with? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Carly Fears Escalating Tensions Between Sonny and Josslyn: ‘I’ve Already Lost One Kid Because of That Man. I Won’t Lose Another’

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR
Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.
Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.
Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.
At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.
WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?
Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.
Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.
So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Katie Kicks Bill to the Curb … for Now

The future isn’t looking so bright for longtime loves Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), when on the Wednesday, November 11 episode Katie wants Bill to leave and give her some space, and to stay away from her!
Katie explains she wanted none of this, but now her insecurity and fear of Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Bill has made it impossible. Bill pleads his case, “I was just trying to help” by speaking with Brooke. Katie tells him, well he didn’t, far from it, it’s all backfired in his face.
Bill insists to Katie that everything he did was for her and her sisters. Katie isn’t buying it. In her mind, Bill has always wanted to stick it to the Forresters. So what changed? She then asks him point blank, if he is still attracted to Brooke? Bill says “no,” but Katie said she wishes she could believe him. He tries to explain that him getting together with Brooke was to broker peace between the Logan sisters.

THE TRUST IS BROKEN
Katie speaks to how she is building her own company, making something of herself, and Bill says to her, “You don’t have to lose the people that you love to prove that you can win.”
Next, Katie is convinced Bill was flirting with Brooke because he texted Brooke a Stallion emoji (she has a point, no?). That reminded Katie of the worst time in her life when he was having an affair with her sister!
She points out how Brooke destroyed her life and took Will away from her and he was sent to boarding school, so why shouldn’t she strike back? Bill tries to point out again, that Katie is going to lose her sisters. But, a defiant Katie fires back, “If they can’t accept me for who I am … so be it!”
Next, Bill says he doesn’t buy it and becomes very emotional calling his wife, “my Katie”. However, now in a puddle of tears, Katie says those words can’t fix everything. Seeing he is not getting anywhere, Bill walks towards the door and says, “I will hate being apart from you, but I’ll do it for you.”
He vows to never stop fighting for them. Katie’s says, “Goodbye, Bill.” The music swells, Bill exits, and Katie crawls into a ball on the couch in a dramatic overhead shot to end the episode.

WEDDING BELLS?

Now weigh-in: were you touched by the moments when Bill left his house to give Katie the space she says she needed over her feelings of betrayal by her husband and her sister, Brooke?
