‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers document that supporting anyone is easy if that person deserves it. But learning that someone committed murder changes the calculation.
Only two Forrester family members know about Thomas Forrester’s (Matthew Atkinson) criminal actions on Mulholland Drive.
But someone who was an intern at the family’s fashion house has a firm belief that Thomas killed Emma Barber (Nia Sioux).
While Xander Avant’s (Adain Bradley) allegations would pique the interest of the Los Angeles Police Department, they also do not represent hard evidence.
Thomas threatened various people, including Xander, to remain silent about Beth Spencer’s (Jordyn Lynn Ariza) existence. But Emma was the only person who took action to expose Thomas.
He was not going to let that happen. So, Atkinson’s character followed her car the night she left FC in haste and began driving to see the then-Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle).
‘Bold And The Beautiful’ Spoilers – Murder On Mulholland Drive
Xander classifies Thomas’ actions as murder. A good, highly-paid lawyer would counter by claiming Xander was slandering Thomas. But deflecting from what John Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) termed a serious allegation won’t make it disappear.
As devoted fans recall, Thomas was not about to let Emma tell Hope that Beth was alive. She was raised by Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) during that period.
Steffy believed Flo Logan (Katrina Bowden) could not raise her daughter. Through Taylor Hayes’ (Krista Allen) help, Steffy adopted the girl she named Phoebe to honor her departed fraternal twin sister. But Thomas prevented that reveal from happening.

Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) later learned what happened in the plot. He told Thomas he would not deal with the legal system and helped him avert it until now.
The problem Thomas and Ridge have is that Xander has nothing to lose. He is back in California. Whether he uses the grudge he has against the Forresters for firing him because of the Beth scandal remains to be seen.
However, Xander’s quick tell to Finn during their first-ever meeting creates momentum. Finn relayed what he learned to Steffy, whose eyebrows raised when she heard the news.

The likelihood of Steffy telling Hope is low. But Xander could follow his talk with Finn by telling Hope himself.
Alternatively, Finn could decide that Hope and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) need to know what has been alleged. Finn’s doubts about Thomas’ so-called redemption mean he needs more incentive to keep quiet.
But Finn knows he could stir marital trouble if he exposes what is currently gossip about Thomas. Telling Hope would change her view of Thomas, with the potential of their relationship either pausing or suddenly ending. That could lead to an unknown reaction from Thomas on B&B.
