Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Karen's secret

Hope and Taylor continue their conversation.

Taylor: My bad relationship with your mother and how I've expressed myself when I saw you and Liam back together made you believe that I'm a hateful person, but I'm not. This is how I was expressing my pain. Just like now you are clearly hurt and that's why you are angry at me and I understand...

Hope: Taylor, I didn't shot a man in the back because I am hurt. I am just annoyed. I never asked for your help. 

Liam enters the house.

Liam: Taylor?

Taylor: Hello Liam.

Liam: Everything ok?

Taylor: Your wife is in a lot of pain.

Hope: Oh come on...

Liam: Hey, hey... Hope.. Calm down. 

Taylor: You need to help her because she clearly is very upset that she will have to give Douglas back to Caroline.

Liam: This is how you would talk to your client?

Taylor doesn't reply.

Liam: You didn't have to come here and tell her this. 

Taylor: Obviously you are defending your wife. 

Liam: Why are you here?

Taylor: I was visiting my grandson. 

Liam: So why did you even start this topic?

Taylor: I wanted to make sure that Hope understands.

Liam: Yes... She does. She doesn't need to be reminded. 

Taylor: I'm sorry. I had good intentions, but both of you see it differently. I'll go... Say to Douglas that grandma will see him again very soon.

Taylor leaves. 

Hope: My God...! 

Liam embraces Hope. 

Next scene:  Ridge and Thomas talk at FC.

Ridge: Soon your big day is coming.

Thomas: What big day?

Ridge: Hello!? The fashion show!

Thomas: Oh... That is mostly Steffy's big day.

Ridge: You and Sally are the designers. 

Thomas: True.

Thomas smiles.

Ridge: I'm really proud of you. 

Thomas: Life couldn't be better dad... Caroline is back. I'm a designer again and... Sally. Sally is amazing.

Ridge: I have to say that I was wrong about that girl in the past.

Thomas: She has done some questionable things in the past, but I... I did something far worse. If I can be forgiven then she sure as hell can get your forgiveness, right?

Ridge: Well we tend to forgive our children more than other, but yes... I forgave Sally for the past. 

Thomas: Thank you Dad. Now nothing is standing in the way of our happiness. 

Next scene: Steffy is at home working on her laptop. Taylor walks into her home.

Taylor: Hi honey.

Steffy: Hi Mom!

Taylor: Where is everyone else?

Steffy: Kelly takes a nap and Finn is still at work.

Taylor: I'm glad that we can be alone for a bit so I can talk with you.
