"The Bold and the Beautiful" is certainly not in the holiday mood this week as schemes and exposés continue. Will the "B&B" characters ever have a happy Christmas? To find out, here's what will happen this week from Dec. 15 to 19: 

Maya and Rick 

Maya and Rick's scheming is a highlight this week. Rick decides to conspire with Maya behind everyone's back. Rick sides with Eric regarding the decision about Ridge and Caroline. It is a surprising move but no one knows that Rick has a plan up his sleeve. 

Caroline tries to seduce her husband, but Rick will have none of it. This lack of interest from Rick makes Caroline suspicious. However, she may forget all about this when she is paired with Ridge for another project. 

Additionally, Maya and Rick try to continue to implement their plan at Forrester Creations. But according to Celeb Dirty Laundry, Maya won't last long and will expose their plan late on. She will come clean and tell someone at Forrester Creations. 

Wyatt, Hope and Liam 

Hope Logan is leaving and going to Italy. This is because actress Kim Matula has left the show for good. Liam Spencer and Wyatt Fuller have a hard time dealing with Hope's departure. This may also mean that Hope and Wyatt's marriage is over. 

Other Spoilers 

Bill gives Katie a suggestion about what to do with Ridge and it does not involve marrying him. Bill also pressures Quinn into atoning for her sins, but Deacon comes to Quinn's aid. 

Further, Ivy witnesses something and tells Rick about it. He tells her to not tell anyone else. 

It's going to be an exciting week in "The Bold and the Beautiful." Will there be hope for the characters to get into the Christmas spirit? Catch the show on CBS every weekday at 1:30 p.m.
