Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Caroline should know the truth

Karen looks at Katie.

Karen: Danielle, I will call you back.

Karen turns off the conversation with Danielle.

Karen: Katie, how long did you listen?

Katie: Long enough. Dean is Caroline's father?

Karen: Please don't tell anyone.

Katie: Another secret...

Karen: Me and Danielle... We wanted to have our child. Dean was kind enough to donate his semen. 

Katie: You lied to us about Caroline being dead and now I've found out that you lie to Caroline about her father being absolutely absent. He isn't. He is her doctor and she knew him, right?

Next scene: Taylor, Steffy and Ridge continue talking.

Taylor: I just hope that Douglas will soon be with his parents.

Steffy: Well they will co-parent. They are not together anymore. 

Taylor: Things can change.

Steffy: Mom, I think it's best if we do not mess with his love life. He is happy where he currently is and as long as he is happy he stays away from Hope.

Ridge: True.

Taylor: I want Thomas to be happy, but I just believe that being with the mother of his child would be the most fulfilling thing. 

Steffy: I wanted Thomas and Caroline together in the past... Bill interfered. Look how it backfired. 

Taylor: I don't think we will have to do anything like Bill did. We just need to hope that Thomas and Caroline will organically unite. 

Next scene: Karen and Katie continue talking.

Katie: I see that lying comes easy to you. 

Karen: I'm sorry Katie. 

Katie: Don't apologize to me... Just tell Caroline the truth. She has the right to know that she has a father. 

Karen: He was a donor... Me and Danielle... We were her parents. Katie, please don't tell anyone about this. 

Katie: Fine... But tell her one day... Please.

Karen looks at Katie and doesn't know what to say. 

Next scene: It's morning at Forrester Creations. Hope and Steffy are talking in Steffy's office.

Hope: You called me?

Steffy: Yes Hope. Please sit down.

Hope: So what is it about?

Steffy: Hope, my mom spoke to me about yesterday.

Hope: Oh... Well, I probably overreacted.

Steffy: Yeah. You did. I hope that we can agree that it should never happen again.

Hope nods.

Hope: Sure, as long as Taylor will let me be. 

Steffy: She wanted to help.

Hope: Well it only made me feel worse. 

Next scene: Brooke is in another FC office when Taylor enters it.

Brooke: My God... You again?

Taylor: Hello Brooke.

Brooke: Sorry, but I'm really busy.

Taylor: That can wait.

Brooke: No. It can't.

Taylor: Even if I want to talk about your daughter?
