12. Hope Dumps Liam

Early in the year, Hope will be so angry after she finds out about Steam’s dirty little secret that she will dump her husband. No number of apologies or excuses on Liam’s part will be enough to make her change her mind. As she told him when he accused her of cheating on him with Thomas. “I would never betray our marriage, Liam.” Unfortunately, Liam betrayed her at the first opportunity and Hope will find this unforgivable.

11. Can Thomas Win Hope’s Heart?

Hope knows Thomas is devoted to her, but things have never really clicked between the two of them. And the Forrester designer will be supportive, and not surprised, when he finds out The Waffler circled back to Steffy, just as he had predicted. But will 2021 finally bring about a chance for Thomas to win Hope’s heart or will another man catch her eye?

10. Another Suitor

Thomas may have another suitor to contend with when it comes to pursuing the woman of his dreams. Finn will also be hurting after he finds out about Steffy’s betrayal and he and Hope may bond over their broken hearts. They made a great team when they were both concerned about Thomas and together they ended up saving his life. Could their budding friendship turn into something more?

9. Wyatt And Flo Put To The Test

Rumor has it, Wyatt and Flo may be put to the test in the coming year, when they are paid a visit by Young And The Restless’ (Y&R) Kyle Abbott and Summer Newman. Flo will fill them in on all of Sally’s dastardly deeds and Wyatt won’t approve. He thinks they should leave the past where it belongs and, although he hasn’t forgiven Sally for faking her fatal illness, he believes she deserves a fresh start in Genoa City. Without even knowing it, Sally may cause conflict for Flyatt in 2021.

8. Brotherly Advice

Speaking of Wyatt, Liam will turn to his brother for advice on how to handle the situation with Steffy and Hope. He also fears that with Thomas living right next door to Hope, his wife may turn to his rival now that she’s aware of his betrayal. It will all seem like a case of déjà vu to Wyatt. Liam’s brother will shake his head and wonder how his sibling manages to get himself into these messes. But will he also provide him with some solid advice?

7. Queric’s Future

After nearly losing Eric, will Quinn finally learn her lesson and settle down to a quiet, uncomplicated life with her husband in 2021? Viewers know this is highly unlikely. She’ll happily settle back into the Forrester mansion and her routines, but it won’t be enough for her. Quinn is never truly satisfied unless she’s meddling in someone else’s life. Will she interfere in Wyatt’s relationship with Flo or cause even more problems for Brooke and Ridge?

6. Bridge’s Bickering

Once Steam’s one-night stand and Steffy’s pregnancy news become public knowledge, Brooke and Ridge will find themselves on opposite sides of the fence again. After spending about a year out of sorts while they incessantly argued about Ridge’s son Thomas, will Bridge now spend 2021 bickering about Ridge’s daughter Steffy?

5. Bill And Katie’s Challenge

Bill will once again profess his love to Katie and tell her she’s the only woman for him. But she still doesn’t trust him, especially when it comes to his feelings for her sister Brooke, so what will he do to prove his love to her? There’s also been a rumor that Batie will face a major challenge this year and, if they overcome it, it may lead to a romantic reunion.

4. Sibling Rivalry Origins

Spoilers tease viewers will learn more about Paris and Zoe’s backstory as the year progresses. The sisters have been rivals for a long time and it may be disclosed that Paris has some dirt on Zoe. Viewers know when she first arrived in LA, Zoe was stalking her ex Xander. She also wasn’t above keeping her father’s secret, selling baby Beth to Taylor and Steffy to pay off his gambling debts. Is there more to Zoe’s story that only Paris knows, and could it affect Zoe’s relationships with both Zende and Carter?

3. Steffy Leaves For Paris

When Steffy’s baby turns out to be Liam’s, this will more than likely mean the end of Sinn. A mortified and embarrassed Steffy will head to Forrester International in Paris for a month or two, while the scandal dies down. Viewers know Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is pregnant in real life, so this may be how the actress heads off on maternity leave. However, Steffy will be back in late spring or early summer and she’ll give birth to Kelly’s brother or sister sometime in June. Will Finn have forgiven her by the time she returns?

2. Two Love Stories

The love stories of Lope and Sinn will continue throughout the year. Both couples will break up when Steam’s betrayal is revealed. But they may work their way back to each other through forgiveness and understanding. Hope may decide she’s willing to live with Liam’s waffling ways, and she’ll take him back. Finn may try to help Steffy break out of the toxic relationship she’s been in with Liam for years now. And although Steffy’s paternity test will initially state Liam is the father, this could be a ruse for another stunning reveal in 2021.

1. Liam’s Other Brother

Speculation teases that later in the year, Liam will find out he has another half-brother, none other than Finn. The doctor’s family history hasn’t been divulged yet, so are writers keeping it a mystery on purpose? They’ll likely be maternal brothers, as Bill’s secret son storyline has already been used twice, so hopefully writers won’t recycle that plot again. But how will both Liam and Finn react to the fact that they’re siblings? Stay tuned to B&B to find out!
