The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Friday, January 3 – Liam Realizes Thomas Has Manipulated Zoe – Shauna Learns About Thomas’ Plans For Hope

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for Friday, January 3, tease that Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) will come to a disturbing conclusion. As B&B viewers know, he and Steffy Forrester (Jaqueline MacInnes Wood) recently got Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes) involved in their efforts to smoke out Thomas Forrester’s (Matthew Atkinson) true intentions when it comes to Hope Logan (Annika Noelle).

Liam believes that Thomas is still obsessed with Hope, while Steffy hopes that Thomas has genuinely moved on with his life and has put his old ways behind him. To be sure of Thomas’ intentions, they asked Zoe to get Thomas to confide in her and find out what’s really in his heart. This was in return for Steffy giving Zoe back her modeling position at Forrester Creations.

But then something happened that Liam and Steffy weren’t counting on. Thomas started pursuing Zoe, and Zoe was totally into it. One thing led to another and Zoe and Thomas made love, then Thomas invited Zoe to the Forrester Christmas dinner as his date. And now Liam is skeptical about Zoe’s ability to be a proper spy against Thomas.

Well, on Friday’s B&B episode, it seems that Liam will discover that he’s right to be concerned. It looks like Zoe will say or do something to convince Liam that she’s been successfully manipulated by Thomas. We’ll see exactly what happens, but it appears that Liam will realize that her ability to spy on Thomas has been compromised, and that he’s now back at square one.

B&B Spoilers – Thomas Forrester Tells Shauna Fulton He’s Still After Hope Logan

Meanwhile, on Friday’s new episode of B&B, Thomas will share some interesting news with Shauna Fulton (Denise Richards). The two will talk – perhaps at the Forrester mansion – and Thomas will reveal to Shauna that his long-range plan is to be with Hope. Of course, B&B viewers know that his whole relationship with Zoe is just a ruse and he really is still obsessing over Hope.

We’ll see what Shauna has to say about that – she might threaten to go to Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and reveal Thomas’ plan to him, but it seems that Thomas will warn her not to do that, and that he’ll tell her to keep pursuing his father. Thomas might point out that if Shauna does tell Ridge that Brooke Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) is right about him, then Ridge and Brooke could get back together.

This will all probably make Shauna feel unsettled, since she truly loves Ridge and doesn’t want to risk losing him. But she may also feel that Ridge should know the truth about his son, so she may be in the middle of a big dilemma after her conversation with Thomas. Of course, Thomas will want to make sure that Shauna doesn’t say anything, so he’ll probably make a good case for her keeping her mouth shut. We’ll see what she does.
