The Bold and the Beautiful is building excitement for Hope Logan and Liam Spencer's upcoming wedding with hints of three significant cast returns. No air date has been confirmed yet, but recent on-set sightings and name-drops suggest special guests for the event. These comebacks aim to provide closure and family moments amid the soap's ongoing drama.
Wedding Background
Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) are set to remarry, marking a key chapter after years of love triangle turmoil involving Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). Recent episodes have highlighted Hope's reflections on past betrayals, including Thomas Forrester's (Matthew Atkinson) role in hiding the survival of their daughter Beth. A conversation between Hope and her brother Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) emphasized why she and Thomas could never be together, signaling emotional resolution ahead of the nuptials.
Teased Returns
The first hinted return is Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks), Liam's brother. Wyatt was name-dropped in a scene where Liam discussed the wedding with his family, including dad Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), brother Will Spencer (Crew Morrow), and ex-stepmom Katie Logan (Heather Tom). This suggests Wyatt may appear for the ceremony, especially after missing prior family crises like Liam's fake brain tumor and shooting incidents.
Thomas Forrester's comeback is confirmed, with actor Matthew Atkinson filming for a week, as shared by producer Casey Kasprzyk on Instagram. Filming occurred during Christmas episodes, potentially aligning with a holiday wedding timeline. Thomas is expected to provide closure, congratulating Hope and apologizing to Liam for past actions, including the Beth secret. This could mirror a recent Steffy-Hope chat that resolved their triangle.
Young Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) was spotted on set in a suit, as seen in a social media post by Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) from the hair and makeup room. Dressed for a formal event, Douglas—Hope's adoptive son and formerly close to Liam—may participate in the ceremony alongside sister Beth Spencer (Jordyn Lynn Ariza). However, Samiri's busy schedule with other projects like The Pit and Invasion limits his stay.
Potential Timing
The wedding planning extends into the holidays, possibly leading to a Christmas or New Year's Eve event. These returns add layers of family reunion and past reckonings to the storyline.
