The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for for December 28, 2023, promise another day of sisterly concern from Steffy — as well as a surprise return to the LA fashion scene.

Steffy And Thomas Battle

After Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stuck her nose where it didn’t belong and demanded that Hope (Annika Noelle) tell her right then and there if she was in love with Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) — with Thomas standing there — she and her brother get into an argument over Steffy’s buttinsky ways.

Thomas lets his sister know that he is a grown man who can take of himself. He and Hope are two adults who can make their own choices in life, and right now, their choice is to be together and see where things go.

When Finn (Tanner Novlan) walks in on this conversation because he has to stick up for his wife during this dispute. Finn understands Steffy’s concerns even if Thomas and Hope do not. But, neither of them knows anything about Thomas and Hope’s private relationship and what they might feel for one another.

He also doesn’t like the way Thomas is talking to Steffy, but soon leaves so Steffy and Thomas can battle some more as Hope continues her chat with Ridge. What happens when Hope and Thomas meet again?

A Blast From Thomas’s Past Is Back

Finn has a very busy day. Not only does he spend time at Forrester Creations with Steffy and Thomas, but he also meets with a new patient who is none other than Xander Avant (Adain Bradley). Xander is surprised to learn that Finn has a connection to the Forrester fashion family.

As fans will remember, Xander is one of the only people who knows that Justin’s (Aaron D. Spears) cousin Emma Barber (Nia Sioux) perished in that car crash while Thomas looked on. He wasn’t in his right mind at the time and believed he allowed the secret about Beth to die with her.

Yes, Emma was on her phone, which is what caused her crash, but Thomas didn’t do anything to get her help and Xander knows that. Is he back in LA for a reason? Does he plan to bring the truth to the forefront — a truth that an oblivious Hope does not yet know? This could put quite a crimp on Thope’s burgeoning love story…
