Just when we thought Bold and the Beautiful had exhausted every twist in the book — bam! This week’s midweek episodes brought us jaw-dropping rescues, crumbling lies, and the kind of emotional manipulation only Ridge Forrester could deliver with a straight face.
Let’s break it all down…
💔 “I’ll Never Take You for Granted Again” — Do We Believe Ridge?
As Ridge stood over Brooke’s unconscious body, giving her CPR after a ridiculous speedboat stunt, he swore, “Never again.” Never again would he take her for granted. Never again would he let her slip away.
Sound familiar?
Because if we had a dollar for every time Ridge made that exact same promise to Brooke, we’d be able to bankroll Forrester Creations ourselves.
Still, the moment was powerful. Brooke had just stormed off with Nick, frustrated by Ridge’s emotional yo-yo and his engagement to Taylor. Nick, distracted while steering a boat with a faulty steering wheel (because of course), ends up launching Brooke into the water. Ridge sees it happen and dives in like a Hallmark movie hero.
But now, Brooke is back in Ridge’s arms. Nick’s knocked out. Taylor’s… waiting for her heart to be broken. Again.
💣 Grace Drops a Bomb: The Cancer Was a Lie
Meanwhile, across town, another lie exploded.
Finn — ever the detective in scrubs — starts digging into Liam’s brain scans and discovers… there are none. That’s right. Grace made it all up. In a desperate attempt to protect her daughters from the wrath of Reese’s unpaid debts, she faked Liam’s brain cancer to scam Bill out of money.
The motive? Desperation. The fallout? Massive.
Grace begs Finn not to tell anyone. But if the preview is to be believed, he drags her right to Liam and Hope to confess. And just wait until Bill finds out he’s been conned. Again.
❤️🔥 Sparks Reignite Between Hope & Liam
While Grace is being canonized by Liam and Hope for being such a “miracle doctor,” they seem to be catching feelings again. She’s been by his side every day. He notices. And it’s giving we’re about to put our family back together.
But wait — here comes Daphne. The perfumer with a mission. And she’s got eyes on Carter, and may try to help Hope drift back to Liam.
Are we headed for a Liam/Hope/Carter/Daphne quadrangle?
Looks like it.
🧨 Friday Cliffhanger Incoming
On Thursday, Sheila and Li are expected to share some shocker scenes — and some fans believe Sheila may be the one who finds out Luna is still alive. But Friday? That’s when the fire hits the fan.
Grace begins to tell Liam and Hope everything.
Will she be arrested? Will Bill retaliate? Will Liam’s fake illness bring real consequences?
🤔 Final Thoughts:
- Ridge saving Brooke is classic soap, but will she ever finally choose herself?
- Grace’s confession could destroy everything she’s built with the Forresters.
- Liam and Hope are on the verge of rekindling — what will Carter do?
