He was confident that his daughter would keep her happily-ever-after ending with the man she loves and has a child with. Now, after hearing about the latest situation which may have jeopardized everything for Steffy and Liam, Ridge will put Hope on blast for her role in it on the Thursday, July 26 episode of “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was livid when she walked in on Hope (Annika Noelle) and Liam (Scott Clifton) in a passionate moment at the Hope for the Future fashion show. After vowing she was finally done with Liam on the CBS soap, she took off, and Liam hasn’t been able to get a hold of her. Meanwhile, Hope, feeling guilty, headed back home to confide in her mother, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) about the situation. Now, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) may overhear, and he will blast his stepdaughter for coming between his own child and the man they both loved, especially since he and Steffy have a child together.

However, Hope will also hold her own against Ridge, reminding him that while she hasn’t yet given birth, she and Liam will also be parents together as well one day.

“She is the mother of his child!” Ridge shouts in a preview clip for the episode.

“And so am I!” Hope fires back.

Of course, once everyone learns where Steffy went and what has transpired since then, tensions will only continue to grow.

Steffy once again sought Bill (Don Diamont) out, asking for him to sell her his shares in Forrester so she could have absolute control, a move that could have a detrimental effect on Hope’s future as a designer. However, Bill added a condition that she wouldn’t receive the shares until she became his wife, and against her better judgment, Steffy agreed. The news will certainly anger Ridge even more when he learns of it.

Meanwhile, as she prepares for her new life, Bill will be ecstatic that he has finally won her for himself, and he will admit to her that he doesn’t need the pomp and circumstance of a huge wedding to be happy with her because he already has what he wants.

“I don’t need to announce it to the world the day you become my wife,” he says in the clip.

“The Bold and the Beautiful” airs weekdays at 1:30 p.m. EDT on CBS.
