He came home from Paris to make it clear that he wanted Thomas to stop trying to manipulate his wife and end their marriage. However, Liam could have a bigger battle than he feared on his hands when it comes to facing off against Thomas on the Friday, May 10 episode of “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

Liam (Scott Clifton) learned that Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) was making moves on Hope (Annika Noelle) after Wyatt (Darin Brooks) warned him of the plan on the CBS soap. As a result, he quickly flew home to reunite with his wife, and has already told Thomas he wants him to back off. Thomas has countered that he thinks both Liam and Hope deserve a family—something they don’t have with each other, but that he and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) can each give them. Now, as Hope looks on, the two men will continue to square off as they try to prove which of them is the better person for Hope to be with.

“Liam and Thomas butt heads over Hope,” spoilers reveal.

Hope has made it clear to Thomas as well that she loves Liam and always has, and won’t end her marriage, but she also confided in Flo (Katrina Bowden) that a part of her was wondering if being with Thomas was the right move for her as well. If she were to be with him, she would get a child in Douglas (Henry Joseph Samiri), and be fulfilling Caroline’s (Linsey Godfrey) last wish before she died. In the meantime, Liam would be free to reunite with Steffy and raise their daughter, Kelly, as well as Steffy’s adopted daughter, Phoebe, together.

Because she knows the truth that Phoebe is actually Hope and Liam’s daughter Beth, Flo tried discouraging Hope from doing that. However, as the two men continue trying to prove which one of them deserves to be with her, it could lead to Hope making a shocking decision that will continue altering things in her life.

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