The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers for Thursday, July 4, reveal that there’ll be

an Independence Day celebration at the Forrester mansion. Eric Forrester (John McCook)

will host this Fourth of July bash, which will bring plenty of guests on this festive occasion.

Of course, Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) and Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) will be in attendance, so look for them to announce their engagement on a grander scale.

Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) will squeeze in a moment alone with Paris at some point, so they may reflect on their own brief romance that almost ended in marriage.

B&B fans will recall that Carter dumped Paris at the altar and chose to be with Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer) instead.

Paris might assure Carter that she doesn’t hold anything against him, especially now that she thinks she’s getting a fairytale ending with Thomas.

Carter’s relationships with Quinn and Katie Logan (Heather Tom) didn’t work out, but Paris may express hope that Carter will find his perfect match someday.

Will Carter end up feeling like Paris is the one who got away or will be truly happy she’s found love with Thomas?

Regardless, Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) certainly won’t be pleased when she’s forced to watch all Thomas and Paris’ displays of affection at this party.

Hope will struggle to get through this Fourth of July celebration, especially when it’s time for Eric to make a toast to the newlyweds-to-be.

It’ll be hard for Hope to hide how jealous and uncomfortable she is, but Paris will take great pleasure in marking her territory in front of Thomas’ ex!

Next on Thursday’s B&B episode, Poppy Nozawa (Romy Park) will dwell on Bill Spencer’s (Don Diamont) news about going to Forrester Creations to speak with Katie Logan (Heather Tom).

The more Poppy thinks about it, the more she’ll apparently feel like she needs to intervene.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Poppy will arrive and peek in the design office door – just in time to spy Bill and Katie’s heartfelt hug.

Our predictions point to Poppy and Katie’s feud escalating into some real trouble as this storyline moves along, so stay tuned for updates on all the shockers.
