An ultimatum that Liam (Scott Clifton) gave Hope (Kim Matula) could force her to cut her business ties with Wyatt (Darin Brooks) on The Bold and the Beautiful.

The two Spencer brothers have been fighting over her for months, and Liam is now taking a major stand in his attempt to win Hope. If Hope cuts her business ties with Wyatt, she is ending the one connection he has to her that Liam does not.

In a preview clip for the Monday, Dec.9 episode, she appears to be considering the separation she meets Wyatt for dinner.

"There are so many places that I want to take you, so many things I want to show you," Wyatt said to her, as she gave him a nervous look.

Wyatt made a promise earlier in the day that he wouldn't back down because Hope is the best thing to happen to him. That could change if she does what Liam asks of her.

Hope may not be making a total decision just yet though, as she also appears to try and reason with Liam in the preview clip.

"I don't feel like I'm sharing you anymore," she said to him, referring to his ex-wife Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Woods).

She may tell Liam that while she feels he is finally committed to being with her, she doesn't know how she feels about it anymore.

"I'm done waiting Hope. There's no going back for us, and we can't stand still," he said.

The Bold and the Beautiful airs Monday-Friday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
