A new year has come, but the same problems and conflicts continue to hound “The Bold and Beautiful” (“B&B”), especially on its upcoming episode. On Thursday, Quinn (Rena Sofer) confides in Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) about the struggles she’s been having about her marriage and her career.

Quinn confidently vows that she’ll never be unfaithful to Eric (John McCook), but fans know that her actions speak louder than her words. Apart from flirting with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) on numerous occasions, she also had fantasies about him. It would be interesting to see if Ivy believes her, or if she’ll rat Quinn out. Other “The Bold and the Beautiful” characters who will figure prominently on the Jan. 5 installment include Eric (John McCook), Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), Liam (Scott Clifton) and Wyatt (Darin Brooks).

TV Guide reports that on Thursday’s episode of “B&B,” Quinn opens up to Ivy about her ongoing problems in the professional and personal aspects of her life. Meanwhile, Ridge visits Eric to make a last-ditch effort in changing the family patriarch’s mind about the CEO position.

The show’s official YouTube channel posted a preview video for the Jan. 5 episode [watch below]. It features multiple scenes with Quinn, Ivy, Liam, Steffy, Wyatt, Eric and Ridge.

Quinn opens the clip as she insists, “I haven’t betrayed Eric, and I never will.” Ivy doesn’t look convinced and orders Quinn, “Look me in the eyes and tell me you have no desire for Ridge.”

Steffy also figures in the scene as she assures Liam, “I’m moving out, but once the divorce is final, I’m going to come back to you.” He, however, expresses, “I just wish you’d realise how much Quinn is behind all these.”

Elsewhere, Eric tells Wyatt, “I hope the two of you find the same love and commitment that I’ve come to find in Quinn.” Later, Eric gets a visit from Ridge, who says, “I’m trying to make you see the harsh reality of what you’ve unleashed in all of us.”
