The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Week of December 16-20 – Steffy and Zoe’s Deal – Liam’s Protective Mission – Tricky Thomas Plays Hope

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers tease that some shockers and shakeups are on the way. For starters, Thomas Forrester (Matthew Aktinson) will try a new approach. He’ll use Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes) in his plan to stir up some jealousy in Hope Logan (Annika Noelle), but Zoe will end up wondering where her loyalties should lie.

Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) will let Zoe return to work at Forrester Creations, but she’ll expect Zoe to help her uncover Thomas’ true motives in return. Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) will orchestrate this mission to protect Hope, but he’ll have to rely on Steffy and Zoe since they’ll be the ones working at Forrester.

As for Hope, she’ll be taken aback by Thomas’ sudden lack of interest in her. Thomas will be adamant that he just wants a professional relationship and to be good co-parents. He’ll even have a little romantic setup for Zoe, which will surprise Hope as well. Once Hope realizes it’s not for her, she’ll find herself dealing with some complex questions about Thomas and perhaps some complex feelings, too.

Other Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Zoe will put her scheme with Steffy in jeopardy. She’ll inevitably find herself growing closer to Thomas – or at least hoping she can. Steffy’s not going to be pleased when she realizes Zoe isn’t fully cooperating. It sounds like Zoe will try to play both sides a bit and fail miserably.

As for Thomas, he’ll feel like his plan’s working like a charm. Between Hope’s unsettled reaction to Zoe and her decision to work with him at FC, Thomas will think he’s on the verge of getting everything he wants.

Of course, that’s exactly what Liam will want Thomas to think. B&B spoilers say Liam will have a devious plan to trap Thomas, so he’ll give Hope his blessing when it comes to their partnership at work. Liam will count on scoring the dirt he needs to take Thomas down soon.

Elsewhere, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) will track down Brooke Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) and present her with an opportunity. He’ll hold out hope that maybe their marriage can be saved. Unfortunately, it seems doubtful stubborn Brooke’s going to budge. Those divorce papers will be filed if they can’t reach an agreement, so Shauna Fulton (Denise Richards) will anxiously await Ridge’s decision.
