She fell for his scheme and has done everything she can to try and put an end to her marriage to Liam so she can become a mother to Douglas. Now, elated his plan worked, Thomas could take things too far as he embraces the potential for a future with Hope on the Tuesday, May 28 episode of “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) convinced Hope (Annika Noelle) she needed to end her marriage to Liam (Scott Clifton) to be a mother to his son, Douglas (Henry Joseph Samiri) through a letter he said Caroline (Linsey Godfrey) wrote for him before she died. The letter talked about a woman filling in for her if she couldn’t be there, and Hope was convinced Caroline was talking about her—unaware that Thomas actually wrote the letter and was once again trying to break up Hope’s marriage so he could have her for himself on the CBS soap. Since then, he’s learned the plan was successful because Liam confronted him about trying to break up a marriage that had already endured so much. However, the warning Hope’s husband gave that she may only want to be a mother to his son and have nothing to actually do with him could come back to haunt Thomas.

“Thomas stuns Hope with a kiss after learning that his scheme involving Caroline has worked,” spoilers reveal.

Hope may push him away after the kiss because she is still married to Liam, even though she’s asked for a divorce, and because Liam’s words could ring true. While she does care for Douglas and thinks the best place for her is to be caring for him while Liam cares for Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and her daughters, she may confirm that she has no romantic feelings for Thomas at all. If she does, then he will need to continue doing whatever he can to bring her around, since his goal was to be with her, not just have another situation like the one he had with Caroline where a relationship didn’t exist and they both simply worked together as parents.

However, no matter what efforts he makes, if the truth about Steffy’s adopted daughter comes out, everything could change and Hope could quickly reunite with Liam to raise their own little girl together.

“The Bold and the Beautiful” airs weekdays on CBS.
