The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Ridge Unleashes On Hope – Learns She Manipulated Thomas Into Sharing Custody Of Douglas

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers tease that Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) will be at his wit’s end. As B&B viewers know, he’s been worried about what Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) has been up to with Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson). He noticed that Hope was being particularly nice to Thomas at the Forrester Halloween party, and that just didn’t ring true with him.

Ridge knows exactly how Hope really feels about Thomas, and that he’s certainly not the person that Hope wants to be spending time with. As B&B viewers know, Ridge suspects that Hope is still angling for custody of Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri), and as it turns out he’s absolutely right about that. Hope had a devious plan going where she was trying to use Thomas’ feelings for her to get him to sign adoption papers for Douglas.

But Hope’s plan didn’t stop there. Her end game was to wrangle joint custody of Douglas, so that at a later date she could petition the courts for full and sole legal custody of him, taking him completely away from Thomas. And although Ridge wasn’t privy to her actual plan, he’s been deeply afraid that Hope is still trying to convince Thomas to let her raise his son.

Of course, for Ridge, the thought of anyone but Thomas raising Douglas seems ridiculous.
From his perspective, Douglas has plenty of relatives on the Forrester side, and he doesn’t need Hope to step in and take Douglas, even in the event that Thomas can’t care for him.

Well, according to B&B spoilers, Ridge will soon learn that Hope has scored joint custody of Douglas. As B&B viewers know, Thomas signed the custody papers for Hope in the moments before his terrible accident at Forrester. Hope shoved Thomas aside on the catwalk in the industrial area at Forrester, where he fell into a vat of steaming liquid. Now Thomas will be missing, and Hope will announce that she’s legally Douglas’ mother.

And that’s going to cause Ridge to hit the roof. According to B&B spoilers, he’ll be furious that Hope got Thomas to sign the papers, and he’ll demand answers about how she manipulated him into signing over some of his rights to his own son. Of course, Hope will only tell part of the story, since B&B spoilers indicate that she’ll keep her suspicions about what might have happened to Thomas to herself for the time being.

Of course, for Ridge, this whole situation is just unthinkable, and he’ll probably be able to see the writing on the wall and realize that Hope has done all of this in the hopes of completely taking Douglas away from Thomas in the end. It looks like Hope will have some serious explaining to do as she faces Ridge’s wrath.
