The Bold and the Beautiful
Liam and Steffy worked to’ make Hope understand that Thomas was a common enemy between the three of them, and they started to come up with a plan to take him down. Brooke found comfort and validation in Bill which led to an unexpected kiss...that someone may have seen from the window. They chalked it up as nothing and decided to forget it ever happened. Zoe’s suspicions of Thomas grew stronger as she walked in on a conversation between him and Vinnie. Thomas continued to put pressure on Douglas to keep their family together by convincing Hope to marry him. Shauna spent some time with Ridge discussing the state of his relationship.
Family and friends gathered as the day of the wedding had finally arrived. Both the bride and groom were met with hesitation from their guests. Bill talked with Wyatt about having to step up and seek revenge against Thomas for the pain he brought Brooke’s family. An upset Douglas took off during the ceremony and was swiftly followed by Hope. Thinking that Hope was going to cave and marry him, Thomas tried to stall the proceedings. But Zoe was adamant about moving forward. Things were getting down to the wire as the two shared their vows, but were interrupted just in time by Hope...wearing the wedding dress that Thomas had designed for her. Thomas quickly dumped Zoe at the altar for his new bride, but his dreams were soon dashed. Hope, Steffy, Liam, and Zoe told him that they had figured everything out and were not going to let him get away with it. The rest of the family were shocked to learn the truth and all had their turn at confronting Thomas before he took off.

Our Performers of the Week are General Hospital’s Parry Shen & Ryan Carnes
We love #Brucas with all of our hearts! And this storyline has completely broken us along the way. Parry and Ryan finished us off as Brad and Lucas said their goodbyes after Brad pleaded guilty. It was hard to watch these two people who are clearly still in love with each other have to step back from their relationship.
Lucas was having a hard time dealing with his mixed feelings knowing that his husband had betrayed him...but not for malicious reasons. Ryan Carnes is one of those actors that he doesn’t have a word to tell what he is feeling...and we saw the heartbreak in his eyes. Then with Brad wanting to make this as easy as he could on Lucas told him to move on and find someone that deserved him. AND I just want to say that Parry Shen has been putting in the work throughout this entire storyline.
Our Honorable Mentions are:
The Young and the Restless’ Amelia Heinle
Victoria let Billy have it this week - and rightly so! Too many times she has had her voice taken from her, and this time she was ready to stand up for herself. She wasn’t there to hear Billy’s apologies or excuses. She was there to let him know just how much he had hurt her and that there would be no forgiving him this time. When Amelia uttered the line about being broken our hearts broke with her. Then when she followed it up with the fact that it was Billy’s fault we were screaming in agreement!
Please. Please. Please let this storyline become something amazing for Amelia! We were robbed of the emotional aftermath of the JT situation, and it seems like the mixture of that and the effects of the stabbing are leading to PTSD plot for Victoria.
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Matthew Atkinson
The entire cast of B&B did amazing at the conclusion of last week! And often throughout this storyline, we shouted out Jacqueline and Annika for their incredible work. Now is the time we put the spotlight on Matthew Atkinson! He is just a phenomenal talent. He has been able to play the creepy bad guy so successfully that it’s scary at times. But we got to see another side of Thomas on Friday. As he looked around the room realizing that his loved ones had all turned against him...that he had no one on his side, we saw the shift in his eyes. It was a look full of pain and one that struck deep. Bravo!
