The Bold and the Beautiful has been hinting at a custody battle between Hope and Thomas for a while. Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) believes that Douglas should live with Thomas instead of Hope. Thomas hasn’t made a move to alter the custody agreement, but he may be motivated after Douglas’ secret.
According to Soaps.com, Douglas tells Thomas about seeing Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) kissing Deacon on New Year’s Eve. While Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) uses this information to break up Brooke and Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) marriage, Thomas has other plans.

Brooke and Deacon’s kiss has created a lot of turmoil, and it will get worse. With Hope possibly losing Douglas, she may cut ties with her father to keep her son. But is she willing to give up Deacon for Douglas?
