‘The Bold And The Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers is saying that, as we all know, Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) is trying to get Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) by virtue of, as Vincent Walker (Joe LoCicero) would put it “playing hard to get”, and if you can imagine that in the same derisive tone in which Vinne originally said it then that is exactly the tone I am using. At first glance it’s not really working, Hope still has a healthy skepticism of Thomas and that’s to be expected. She doesn’t really believe that his sudden affection for Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes) is really real, and heck neither does anyone else who’s seen it. He only really ‘turns it on’ when there’s an audience around. (Okay the exception to that being when he wanted to seal the deal with Zoe and he slept with her on the first date.)
So right now, at this very moment, Thomas’s ‘moving on’ with Zoe is not real and there’s no way it could be. It simply happened too fast for it to make any sense. But eventually, Thomas may see that while Hope continually rebuffs him and goes home to Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) every night even while working in close proximity to him, and just continues to move on with her life, Zoe is going to be the one that’s going to be willing to be there for him. While pretending to have feelings for Zoe, eventually his guard might slip, and those feelings might just become real.
‘The Bold And The Beautiful’ Spoilers: Is Thomas Forrester Getting What He desires?
Hope, to her credit, does not want anything to do with Thomas right now, the only thing she wants is to be a good co-parent and step-Mom to little Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) but we’ve also seen moments when Hope has almost seemed to enjoy the attention Thomas is giving her. Like, back before he was pushed off the cliff by Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), when recounting the tale to her Mom she had said that Thomas just wanted to talk to her and she seemed almost sympathetic toward him like she had wanted to hear him out and she had wanted to talk to him.

Most recently, he gave Hope a Christmas gift and sometimes the advent of the holidays softens people’s hearts, also, Hope seems to be an easily forgiving person. Also watching him fawn all over Zoe may spawn some jealousy, especially if there’s any trouble in paradise concerning Liam. If she senses that Liam is more into Steffy than he is into her, then she could start jonesing from some attention from Thomas Forrester and when he’s all focused on Zoe this could make Hope jealous, which could be exactly what Thomas wanted – only by that time, will he truly want it anymore? If his feelings for Zoe are real at that point and he’s really and truly moving on will he want to go back to a relationship where he’s always having to knock himself out for just a crumb of Hope’s attention?
‘The Bold And The Beautiful’ Spoilers: What Will Thomas Do For Love?
Thomas will do a lot of things for love, but I don’t think coming back like a whipped puppy with his tail between his legs is one of them. Thomas is more of a manipulator, he doesn’t beg or reason. He’s more of a getting someone to see his side of things in the shadiest manner possible sort of guy. But the thing is, he’s done that with Hope because he felt he had to do that. But with Zoe, she’s new, and she’s no stranger to schemes herself so she totally gets Thomas’s mentality and therefore he can’t really be as dishonest with her as he can be with Hope because Zoe is cut from the same cloth.
After being around someone who he’s comfortable with and who he doesn’t have to hide around… can he really truly be content just to go back to being with someone who, all in all, was just one big sexual fantasy for him? Because that’s all that Hope was. He wanted to have sex with her. He wanted the thrill of the conquest. Once he gets Hope will he truly be happy with getting her or will he finally see that the fantasy that he’s created in his mind isn’t actually Hope after all but just something his own desire created? Will Zoe win in the end? Guess we’ll just have to stay tuned!!!
