The world of The Bold and the Beautiful is bracing for a week packed with heartbreak, unexpected reunions, and major shakeups. As May closes, the lives of several key characters are set to change forever—most notably Liam Spencer, whose health crisis sends emotional shockwaves across the Forrester and Logan families. Meanwhile, Hope Logan's romantic pivot and Brooke’s emotional reckoning may redefine their futures. Here’s everything viewers can expect from the episodes airing May 26–30, 2025.
Liam Spencer Faces a Life-Altering Diagnosis
Liam’s medical situation takes center stage this week as he receives devastating news from Dr. Grace Buckingham. With Finn by his side translating the clinical terminology, Liam learns that his condition is deteriorating faster than expected. Though Finn desperately searches for a miracle, the reality is sinking in: time is running out.
Hope may already know the gravity of the situation, but Liam’s stoic selflessness has her turning to Carter Walton, the man he encouraged her to be with. As Liam struggles with worsening symptoms, his strength in pushing Hope toward happiness with someone else becomes a tragic testament to his growth—and a painful goodbye.
Hope and Carter Reunite—But Will It Last?
Hope Logan’s sudden declaration of love for Carter Walton has left everyone stunned, especially Carter himself. Just days ago, he overheard Hope expressing love for Liam. Now she claims Carter is the man she truly wants. His hesitation is palpable, but he accepts her choice—at least for now.
Still, questions linger. Did Hope make her decision too quickly? Was it driven more by Liam's urging than genuine feelings? As her father, Deacon Sharpe, gets wind of Liam’s condition and Hope’s new romance, he might push back—insisting that Liam's sacrifice proves his worth. Could Hope be headed for heartbreak if she realizes Carter was a rebound from inevitable grief?
Daphne’s Exit Plans Disrupt Forrester Creations
After realizing that Carter has reunited with Hope, Daphne Rose prepares to leave Los Angeles for Paris. Her dreams—both professional and personal—are seemingly crumbling. Electra and Zende try to keep her grounded by pitching a new Forrester line that could reignite her ambitions, but Daphne appears ready to walk away.
However, Steffy Forrester pleads with Daphne to stay, especially as the truth about Liam’s condition begins to ripple through the inner circle. Steffy, grappling with the emotional toll herself, needs a confidante now more than ever. Will Daphne’s loyalty outweigh her heartbreak?
Brooke Logan’s Emotional Awakening
Brooke Logan is in for a profound shift. Stuck in a spiral since Ridge chose Taylor over her, Brooke’s emotional recovery may finally begin—not because Ridge returns, but because she stops waiting. News of Liam’s illness, and the potential impact on her granddaughter Beth, forces Brooke to reevaluate what truly matters.
There’s also a major twist on the horizon: Nick Marone may be returning. With Ridge distracted and stuck in his usual cycle of indecision, Brooke could find renewed strength—and perhaps romance—with a man who once respected her deeply. Nick’s reentry could mark the start of a bold new era for Brooke, one that doesn’t revolve around Ridge’s whims.
Ridge, Taylor, and the Cost of Delay
Taylor Hayes and Ridge Forrester are seemingly secure for now, but cracks may begin to show. Taylor is fully aware of Liam’s prognosis, and it’s likely she’ll confide in Ridge, igniting urgency about the fleeting nature of life. As Ridge offers advice to others about embracing destiny, he may have to confront his own.
Meanwhile, Katie Logan warns Ridge not to ignore his heart, even as he continues trying to make things work with Taylor. Could Ridge’s internal conflict pull him back toward Brooke, just as she begins to move on?
Final Thoughts: A Week of Destiny and Difficult Choices
As The Bold and the Beautiful heads into the final week of May, viewers are in for an emotionally charged series of episodes. Liam’s dire health situation has created ripple effects that touch nearly every character—from Hope and Carter to Brooke, Steffy, and Ridge. With secrets about to be exposed and hearts put to the test, one thing is certain: nothing will be the same.
Stay tuned to see which relationships endure, which hearts break, and who finds strength in the face of loss.
