With love and understanding, Hope asks for two things of her many guests: that for one day everyone put aside their differences and come together as a family, and forgiveness for who need to receive it. One by one, each person, some reluctantly, turns to the person next to them and says something kind in the spirit of the holiday. On Thursday, Nov. 28, a classic repeat of The Bold and the Beautiful will air, in which Hope and Liam (Scott Clifton) get married on location in Italy.
