Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

It still hurts

Taylor and Steffy continue their conversation.

Taylor: Caroline is alive?

Steffy: I know... It sounds familiar... Something like that happened to you.

Taylor: My God...

Taylor had to sit down. 

Steffy: Mom, it's good news.

Taylor: I can't believe it. Can I see her? Does Douglas know? Thomas?

Steffy: They know... Please wait some days... I even don't know if it's good that I told you. It was supposed to be a secret, but since you will see Thomas and Douglas soon I bet Douglas would tell you himself anyway.

Taylor: Of course... He is a child... My God Steffy. Douglas has a mom again. 

Taylor and Steffy hug and Taylor has teary eyes.

Taylor: Maybe I can call Thomas?

Steffy: Mom, please wait till the morning. Let's go to Forrester creations together so you can talk. It was a long day for Thomas. I bet he sleeps now.

Taylor: You are absolutely right. Douglas is happy?

Steffy: Very much.

Taylor: Does Hope know?

Steffy: She sure does.

Taylor: I mean.. She has to understand the situation, right? 

Steffy: I don't know about that. 

Next scene: It's morning at Forrester Creations. 

Hope and RJ talk. 

RJ: Hello? Hope?

Hope: Yes?

RJ: I am trying to talk to you.

Hope: Sorry I am a bit tired. So what did you say?

RJ: Never mind... Tell me what is wrong?

Hope: Something is wrong, but you will know later... 

RJ: Oh come on... You are making me nervous.

Hope: Don't worry.

RJ: Okay then... So how about you look at these designs.

Hope: Okay... Let me see. 

Hope looks at the designs.

Hope: I like this one the most, but they are all good for my line.

RJ: You like Coco's design more than mine. 

Hope: Coco's design?

RJ: I asked her to give it a try. 

Hope: I can't hire anyone without Eric's or Steffi's approval. 

RJ: I will ask for their approval if you will decide to have it for your line.

Hope and RJ smile to one another.

Hope: I love your designs too. I would only make few changes on this one.

Hope takes one of the designs and puts it on the table. 

Hope: Work on this one. The others are spot on and tell Eric or Steffy that I would really want Coco on the team. Let them decide.

RJ: Thanks Hope. 

RJ smiles.

Next scene: Thomas is in the office alone. Suddenly Taylor walks in.

Thomas: Mom!
