‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers is asking if anyone noticed anything when Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) fell into that vat of acid? Specifically, a lack of something. Take your time, I’ll wait. Still nothing? Well, I’ll spell it out for you then. Did anyone notice how Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) nor Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) called 911 at any time of Thomas’s disappearance? Hope’s reaction could be understood, she was panicking and had a lot to lose. A sentiment we saw echoed by Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) today, but Brooke? At one time, Brooke was Thomas’s stepmom! (Not that that actually seems to count for anything but it’s still there).
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Are Hope and Brooke both guilty?
So it’s no surprise, given the way things went down and the fact that Brooke kept this knowledge from hubby Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) that now Brooke’s marriage is in the toilet. I don’t even blame Ridge. Everyone’s sore and in shock right now, the hurt is still fresh. But even though Thomas is okay and as far from death as you can get, both Hope and Brooke may still have to deal with some upcoming legal repercussions. They better thank their lucky stars that Thomas hasn’t thought of this so far (but he undoubtedly will!), but they could both be found guilty of criminal negligence!
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: By definition
Criminal negligence is when you see a crime happening and don’t contact the proper authorities. Hope can argue that she was panicked all she wants and didn’t know what to do but the only thing she had to do was call in anonymously. Did she ever think of that? Same goes for Brooke, she could have called in anonymously and given the info about where the accident happened and no one would have been the wiser about who it was. I’m amazed that one of the guys in the hazmat suits didn’t call in myself but I personally subscribe to the belief that the hazmat guy that Hope saw was actually Thomas himself.
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Congratulations Hope, you played yourself
Just you watch, Thomas will use this against Hope and possibly even Brooke later for his own purposes. The minute Hope renegs on anything involving the custody agreement, Thomas will roll on not only the fact that he’s sharing his son with her, but that she was criminally negligent and that he could very well take Douglas away from her on that account. You just wait! If he gets desperate enough he will pull that ugly little rabbit out of his hat. He could do the same with Brooke if he wanted but since his Dad is already divorcing her it looks like his mission there has been accomplished.
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Thomas has ammo now
My prediction here is, Thomas will have other ‘lessons’ that he will want to ‘teach’ Hope and they will be just as treacherous and destructive as this last one was. Thomas is ‘conditioning’ Hope, he is breaking her in a classic narcissist way that is very troubling. And what’s more is, Hope’s guilt complex is making her feed into it. She doesn’t really owe Thomas anything but here she is!
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Douglas is learning a lot from dear old Dad
And what is this teaching little Douglas? That it’s perfectly okay to treat a woman this way as long as you profess to love her. That is what is most troubling and Thomas is probably going to pay for this when Douglas becomes a teenager. (Which may just happen within the next six months if we know B&B.) It’s not a good example to set at all. But getting back to the topic at hand, Hope needs to lawyer up before Thomas tries to blackmail her with what happened that night. Stay tuned!!!
