Speaking of Soaps

BY MEREDITH COOPER

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL
Armed with incriminating information against Quinn, Liam sought out Hope to find out if it would change her mind about remaining married to Wyatt. Quinn gave Wyatt insight into what was going on in her mind during her stint in rehabilitation. Liam confronted Quinn about being in Paris and pushing Ivy into the Seine. Hope confessed to Brooke her concerns about starting a family with Wyatt. Ivy spread word throughout the Forrester Creations’ office about Quinn being the cause of her tumble into the Seine. Hope made a revealing confession to Brooke about her marriage to Wyatt and their future together. After viewing the irrefutable evidence against her, Quinn fessed up to Wyatt about being in Paris. With the truth about Quinn’s involvement in the debacle in Paris out in the open, Wyatt and Liam raced to reach Hope first.
Hope was dumbfounded when she learned that it wasn’t fate that pushed her and Wyatt together in wedded matrimony but Quinn. Wyatt worried that Quinn’s continued meddling might have forever cost him the one thing that’s most important in his life: Hope. Quinn turned to an unlikely source for comfort and advice following her fall-out with Wyatt. Bill was begrudgingly forced to choose sides between his sons on the situation regarding Hope when Liam called him out on favoring Wyatt. Quinn relentlessly apologized to an unwavering Hope for manipulating her into marrying Wyatt. Hope was put on the spot when Quinn asked her whether or not she would question her marriage to Wyatt if the circumstances surrounding Liam’s absence in Paris were any different. Wyatt pled with Hope to not allow Quinn’s devious actions in Paris affect their marriage and future together. Quinn taunted Liam that Wyatt and Hope are working on getting past this minor wrinkle in their relationship. Liam threatened Quinn that he will do everything in his power to make sure that she’s, one day, locked up for her transgressions.
THIS WEEK: Brooke and Deacon learn that Quinn was behind Hope and Wyatt getting married in Monte Carlo. Quinn takes Liam’s threats seriously.
