7. Steam Reunites
Speaking of Steffy, rumors point to Liam and Steffy reuniting this year. Hope will become more disillusioned with Liam as the year rolls on and will begin to develop feelings for Thomas. Although Steffy chose herself and handed Liam over to Hope more than a year ago, she still has the Steam portrait hanging up in her living room. The pair also slept together last summer, after Thomas slipped an unknown substance into Liam’s drink.

4. The Valley Versus Vegas
Spoilers tease Donna will stand with Brooke and will be more than willing to assist her in her battle with Quinn and Shauna. But will Donna have an ulterior motive? If Quinn and Eric were to break up, this would provide ample opportunity for Donna to reunite with her ex-husband. Katie will also become involved and will stand shoulder to shoulder with her sisters. And what battle would be complete without Dollar Bill involved?
