The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers for the next two weeks, May 15 to May 26, tease that Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle) will try to share how she really feels about Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson), but her confession won’t provide enough clarity.
During the week of May 15-19, Thomas will think Hope’s feelings are still platonic, so she’ll back off the idea of coming clean and just try to deal with her out-of-control emotions.
Once the plane’s fixed and Hope makes it back home, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) will surprise her with a lovely romantic setup.
As Liam dotes on Hope over dinner, she’ll battle guilt since she can’t get Thomas out of her head.
Meanwhile, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) will spill what happened at the office during a conversation with John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan).
Finn will get updates on Hope’s hand-holding incident with Thomas, but Finn might be skeptical that it means much of anything.
Steffy is convinced that Hope was flirting and that she has real feelings for Thomas, but Finn might think Steffy should take Hope at her word since she denied it.
However, Steffy will end up delivering the harsh reality of a situation to Liam later, so she may let him in on her suspicions.
Since Liam thinks Hope is a perfect angel while Thomas is the scum of the earth, he’ll probably argue that Steffy’s got it all wrong.
Liam may put the blame solely on Thomas and act like he’s just manipulating Hope again.
As for Thomas, he’ll worry about Hope since she went on that tirade about Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and how she feels like she’s living in her mom’s shadow sometimes.
Thomas will talk to Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) about Brooke and Hope, so he may admit Hope fears turning into her mother and suggest the notion is ridiculous.
Afterward, Taylor will have a conversation with Brooke that takes a tense turn. From where Taylor’s standing, it’ll seem like Brooke’s been holding back and actually still hates Thomas for his past mistakes.
Brooke may admit she doesn’t see herself ever trusting Thomas again, but she won’t want this to get in the way of her friendship with Taylor.
Even so, Taylor and Brooke will face a bump in the road, so we could be starting to see some cracks in their “friends first” pact.
As for Steffy and RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman), they’ll have an honest discussion about Brooke, Taylor and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).
RJ and Steffy might confess that they don’t see the friendship between Taylor and Brooke lasting for good – especially if a Brooke and Ridge reunion happens.
Back with Thomas, he’ll let his mind wander as he considers the possibility that Hope might genuinely be attracted to him.
It’ll be a lot for Thomas to process, so he won’t really know where that leaves his partnership with Hope.
After Steffy blabs to Liam, he may mention the discussion to Hope and point out that Steffy thinks she has more-than-friendly feelings for Thomas.
Liam might give Hope a chance to deny it and suggest she’s giving manipulative Thomas too much of an opening.
Other B&B spoilers say Brooke will walk in on a close moment between Thomas and Hope, so that should lead to her confronting her daughter.
Since Thomas will eavesdrop on an unsettling conversation, he might listen as Brooke lectures Hope and warns her not to go down the same problematic road as her mom.
Liam will also determine that he’d better meet with Thomas in person and remind him to respect boundaries or else they’ll have a big problem.
Since Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) summoned her attending physician from her recent hospital stay, she’ll be amazed when Finn actually visits.
Sheila will mention her request for Jack Finnegan (Ted King) to be her new defense attorney and will use some manipulation tactics on her son.
Thankfully, Finn knows how Sheila operates, so he’ll lash out at her and warn that all members of his family are off-limits.
Sheila will remain fixated on the idea of getting out of jail, so she’ll divulge an escape plot to Mike Guthrie (Ken Hanes) and hope it works out.
At Il Giardino, Taylor will have some romantic advice for Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan), so she’ll try to play matchmaker and get him going on some dates again.
During the week of May 22-26, Taylor will find out some shocking news that leaves her fearful.
Steffy will likely fill Taylor in on Hope’s apparent interest in Thomas and suggest this could make him fixated again.
Taylor may worry Hope’s feelings are bubbling up at the worst possible time since Thomas could derail all his progress.
Elsewhere, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) will push Liam to appreciate Hope and avoid letting love slip away.
Since Bill is still fighting for Katie Logan (Heather Tom), he might stress the importance of Liam keeping the woman he wants now that he’s got her!
Unfortunately, Hope will become increasingly torn between her desire to be a good girl with morals and this bad girl side that desperately craves Thomas.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say the next two weeks will bring even more struggles for Hope, so stay tuned.
