The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers recap for Wednesday, November 8, reveals that Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) paid Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) a visit and expressed how much he’d missed her.

Steffy explained that she wasn’t going to let Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) keep her away anymore and brought up Ridge’s fashion show defeat.

Ridge’s mood changed, so Steffy assumed he was upset about losing – and she had to admit that loss surprised her, too.

After Ridge flashed back to concealing the fact that he was the real winner, he got Steffy talking about Sheila again.

Steffy confessed that she confronted Sheila and punched her, so Ridge was both amused by that news and concerned about the threat of retaliation.

However, Steffy argued that if Sheila fought back, then she’d keep fighting too and refused to let Sheila dictate her actions.

Once Steffy promised to be careful with Sheila, she was ready to head off to Forrester Creations.

In Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) office on Wednesday’s B&B episode, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) admired a framed photo of herself with Eric before Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) came along.

Taylor was looking for Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and assumed he was with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) since she heard they were spending more and more time together.

Brooke said she was trying to stay out of it, so Taylor fired back about that being a first!

That led to Taylor blaming Hope for throwing herself at Thomas when he was trying to work on his emotional challenges.

Brooke brought up the fact that Thomas was previously obsessed with Hope, so Taylor wasn’t happy about her mentioning that.

After Taylor’s phone call regarding a patient, Brooke asked if she planned to stick around now that Steffy was back.

Taylor honestly didn’t know and said all she could think about was making sure Thomas was safe in the situation with Hope.

Once Taylor said it wasn’t fair for Hope to play with Thomas’ mind to pump up her own ego, Brooke said Hope wasn’t that kind of person.

Taylor suggested Hope was indeed that kind of person now and didn’t feel like she should be dragging Thomas into her rebellious phase.

Brooke didn’t think Thomas was the one who needed protection, but Ridge arrived and welcomed Taylor back before the argument could escalate any further.

Ridge remained concerned about Sheila and the threat she posed, but Taylor felt that Steffy had her head on straight and asked how Thomas was doing.

Talk turned to Hope and Thomas’ involvement again, but Ridge felt they were grown people who had to make choices for themselves.

Taylor felt that this was a special case, but Ridge suggested maybe they could trust Thomas to make the right decision.

Even so, Taylor worried about Hope’s mixed signals when she knew Thomas was really in love with her. That was selfish and possibly dangerous in Taylor’s eyes.

In the design office, Hope and Thomas discussed the fashion show feedback, but Thomas mostly just wanted to focus on Hope.

Thomas commented on Hope’s new dress and haircut before calling her the new star of Forrester Creations.

Hope grinned and giggled as Thomas sang her praises. After Thomas talked about how extraordinary and intoxicating Hope was, he admitted she always had an effect on him.

Eric was still the king of couture, but Thomas said Hope was the queen of everything for him and gushed over how beautiful she was.

Thomas kissed Hope and talked about how badly he wanted her before suggesting they should live in the moment.

The make-out session escalated as Hope helped Thomas take off his shirt, but then Steffy walked in and got an eyeful.

Steffy asked “what the hell” they were doing and felt it was insane for Hope to be hooking up with Thomas in a place of business.

After Steffy snapped at Thomas to put his shirt back on, Hope warned that they didn’t need another lecture from someone.

Thomas confessed that he’d gotten a lot closer to Hope in Steffy’s absence, so she angrily said she could see that.

Once Thomas exited to deal with a work crisis, Steffy said Taylor warned her about Hope’s involvement with Thomas.

Hope mentioned that Taylor already made her feelings known – and so did Brooke.

Steffy marveled over agreeing with Brooke for once and asked why Hope was doing this when she knew Thomas’ history.

This could also jeopardize Hope for the Future, so Steffy wasn’t pleased at all.

Hope insisted she was following her heart, so Steffy asked if she was in love with Thomas.

After pausing for a moment, Hope said they both loved what they were doing right now, so she refused to let Steffy, Taylor or Brooke stop her Thomas hookups.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Hope will show off her spicy personality updates as her showdown with Steffy continues, so stay tuned.
