After the success of Hope’s line “Hope For Future,” It seemed like life couldn’t get any better for her on The Bold and The Beautiful. She has her husband, Liam, by her side, Douglas loved her immensely, and her professional life was getting better and better! But how long can such luck last on a soap? History is proof that not long enough! The very reason a character’s life becomes perfect is for it to all fall apart two episodes down the line! Douglas has already turned his back to her; what’s next? Is her marriage with Liam about to hit rock bottom too?
Hope Feels Defeated As A Mother
There is no love greater than a mother’s for her child. So there is no questioning Hope’s feelings for Douglas on The Bold and The Beautiful. She loves him dearly and wants only what’s the best for him. Hope has always strived to give him the healthiest environment possible to bloom. However, things always don’t go as we plan. Especially, not in soaps. When Thomas challenged Douglas’ custody in court, Hope was scared of his tricks but deep down felt confident that Douglas would choose her over Thomas.
However, things shifted dramatically when the little boy made the most unusual request on The bold and The Beautiful. He asked to be placed with his aunt Steffy rather than Hope or Thomas. After everything Thomas had done, it made sense for Douglas to not choose him. But him not choosing Hope completely shattered her. Hope feels as if she has failed her son. Douglas wanting to live with Steffy makes her feel as if she couldn’t fulfill her role and duties as a good mother. Liam is trying his best to assure her that she has been the perfect mother to him. But will Liam be able to convince her? Or will Hope spiral into a dark hole in Douglas’ absence?
Hope’s Despair Destroys Her Relationship With Liam On The Bold And The Beautiful
There can be no worse pain for a mother than seeing her child turning their back to her. Douglas’s decision has hit Hope hard on The Bold and The Beautiful. She is already scrambling to hold herself together with Douglas’s departure around the corner. However, once Douglas moves out from under her wing, she will completely fall apart. Moreover, it’s likely that Douglas would thrive under his aunt’s care at the Cliff House. Steffy loves him dearly, and he loves hanging out with his cousin’s Hayes and Kelly. The drama-free environment will definitely bring him peace.
While this would be highly welcome for Douglas, it’ll surely pierce Hop’s heart on The Bold and The Beautiful. The more comfortable her son will get under Steffy’s wing, the more of a failure Hope will consider herself to be. This could lead her to withdraw from everyone. Liam might try to make sense of the situation to Hope, but this would only irk her more. Thus, leading to arguments and conflicts between the couple. Even if Liam tries to be understanding and tries to compensate with extra love, it’s likely that he would eventually give up if Hope repeatedly fails to respond. Do you think this is the beginning of the end for Hope and Liam? Stay tuned to CBS over weekdays to see what happens next on The Bold and The Beautiful.
