The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers update for the week of December 15-19 reveals that Hope Logan Spencer (Annika Noelle) will get some bad news that’ll lead to Deke Sharpe’s (Harrison Cone) devastation. Eric Forrester (John McCook) will also see the potential for a fresh start in fashion, so there’ll be a lot happening on the CBS soap.

After Katie Logan (Heather Tom) gets swept up Bill Spencer’s (Don Diamont) magical ASAP wedding plans, he’ll surprise her with a fashion house as a present.

It’ll be a great way to kick off their next chapter together and will finally convince Katie to leave Forrester behind.

Katie will have a lot of work to do, including finding designers and plenty of other staff members.

Meanwhile, Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) will want to get back into the Forrester fold, but Hope won’t be too happy about that.

Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) will be all for Thomas’ comeback and won’t care about Hope’s discomfort.

Business is business, so Steffy will have no problem cutting Deke from the team to make room for Thomas.

Hope may give Deke updates and leave him devastated to learn he won’t be contributing.

Katie may see a good opportunity to snatch Deke up and put his design talents to good use.

Hope might quit Forrester in solidarity with Deke, so that’s something to mull over.

Of course, Eric will surely become part of Katie’s new fashion house as well. Katie may assure Eric that he’ll be appreciated and will get the respect he deserves.

B&B spoilers suggest Eric may come out of his very brief retirement and use his newest designs to build a gorgeous couture collection for Katie.

Since Ridge is having some second thoughts about trying to force Eric out, he may think his dad should come back so they can have three generations of Forresters working together.

Ridge might like the idea of creating with both Thomas and Eric, but he’ll probably feel betrayed when he finds out Eric’s likely going to work for the Spencers.

As for Hope and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), they may make time to savor their newlywed status with some passion and some talk of their honeymoon plans.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say the week of December 15-19 will bring some exciting new developments all around, so stay tuned!
