Ridge Presents Brooke With Divorce Papers & a Way to Save the Marriage
Friday December 6, 2019: On Bold and the Beautiful today, Shauna's left in the doldrums, Hope weighs Thomas' request, and Steffy confronts her brother.

At Spencer Publications, Liam and Steffy debate about whether Hope or Thomas was manipulating with the signing of the custody papers. Liam insists Hope wants nothing to do with Douglas’ father and Thomas is delusional to believe this will lead to them getting together. He declares that little boy will be the only connection they ever have – he doesn’t want Thomas in their lives. Steffy feels he and Hope should be enjoying this time with Beth, and doesn’t believe Hope would let anything interfere with that.
At Forrester Creations, Thomas and Douglas urge Hope to come back to work on the line. Douglas thinks it will be fun for her to work with his daddy. Thomas enthuses about her office and Douglas coming by to watch them work after school. Hope’s unable to commit. Thomas reminds her he can work hard on the line but she has to bring it to life. After Hope’s gone, Douglas tells his daddy he’s sorry mommy didn’t say yes, but she liked his designs. Steffy arrives and learns Thomas asked Hope to come back to work with him. She glares as Douglas talks about all of them working together. Pam takes Douglas out and Steffy confronts Thomas – has he not learned his lesson? He’s using Douglas to lure Hope back to Forrester!
