Douglas spending a night with his father (General)

Maybe he was just spending the evening. He left with Hope. He wasn’t there when Thomas was hallucinating. But he was definitely spending time with his father outside the cabin. It was a silly thing to put in Hope’s mouth that Thomas should see his son only in the cabin and making this sleep over a huge thing

Oh, I think you are right. That makes sense since the big scene with mannequin happened that night. I just feel that there has been talk of Douglas spending nights with Thomas over the years.

For that particular night, yeah, but Thomas and Douglas have overnights. Douglas overnights all over the place. He goes with his father, friends, his grandparents, Donna. And Hope said today that Thomas and Douglas have overnights and weekend visitation.

I recall him spending the night with Thomas too.
The problem is at one point Thomas was sick and staying at Brooke’s and Douglas was also staying there, so it is blurred.

The writing isn't very clear about that, I guess.

Thomas definitely still had Douglas over at his place, after he had signed the custody/adoption papers.
- When he was dating and having Zoe over, Hope suggested that Douglas could stay at the cabin, but Thomas wanted Douglas to sleep there in the Mansion (and so we had Hope once angrily confronting Zoe and Thomas in bed that they are too loud and that Douglas might hear them through the walls).

After the failed wedding, Douglas primarily lived at the cabin and Thomas only visited Douglas, occasionally got to have Douglas at his place (eg the evening when Hope took Douglas to Thomas place for a dinner date).

Thomas definitely had a sleepover with his son, when Lope got to have a night of their own (and Beth was with Donna).
After that night, Ridge suggested to Thomas to make that a regular thing, but I don't know if they ever did that.

May 32, 2021:
Ridge: But you and Douglas, you had fun last night, right?
Thomas: Oh, yeah. Again, it was--it was great, having little sleepover together.
Ridge: Cool. Maybe you should think about making that, um, part of your routine, you know, like, uh, it could be a daily occurrence or weekly, maybe.
Thomas: I love that. Every moment I get to spend with Douglas is amazing but, you know, Liam's, uh, a great father and he's, uh-- he's definitely cultivated this relationship. Douglas loves spending time with him.
Ridge: And you're not threatened by any of that, that Liam being around that kid all the time? No?
Thomas: Maybe I used to be, but, uh, I can see that Liam...[ Sighs ] He's got his interest in the right place. He--he wants to do what's best for the kids, you know.
Ridge: Sure, I-- I get all that. But don't forget that Douglas is your boy. You're his father, he loves you very much. You got to keep working on that relationship.
Thomas: It works out really well. This co-parenting thing has been working for all of us. It's just pretty amazing, you know, and they're able to cultivate their own family. So much though that--that, uh, Hope actually asked for, uh, a little bit more time for her and Liam to spend with the kids before Donna picked them up.

I just checked some episodes when Lope made love, and then they commented about how they have to make good of the time the children were away, before they would be returned after dinner.

Is a favour given by Hope! She wants them to work something out so that Douglas and Thomas can spend more time together… in the cabin

I didn't hear that. I heard that spending the night and weekends together is something that Douglas and Thoams normally do, but Hope is anxious because Thomas wants to move Douglas. I also didn't hear Hope require time spent to be in the cabin.

She just said they agreed on this sleepover, not that they usually spend weekends together! I replayed it all over again

Please quote me so I can know what I said to you. That would be helpful in me responding. I have added the quotes so I can see.

"Normally, I wouldn't give that a second thought. He's done overnights and weekends before, but now, knowing that Thomas wants him to live with him fulltime..."

That's what she said to Brooke at the opening of the show.

Hope needs to listen to the kid he’s the important one here he’s no baby

She is listening. Douglas said he wants to spend more time with his father and Hope said she's on board with that. Douglas has not asked to live with Thomas.

I bet he picks Tom but it will be fun to see granny Brookes head explode

Douglas wanted to be with his father when his father wasn't even ready and when Thomas was abusing him, so Douglas is not the decider of this.

He’s no baby his feeling should count a sad depressed kid no thanks to that storyline I vote fifty fifty no angst for the kid
