The drama heats up on The Bold and The Beautiful during the week of April 28 – May 2, 2025, as deep betrayals and hidden motives push characters to their emotional limits. Eric Forrester’s shocking manipulation comes to light during the highly anticipated Forrester Creations fashion show. While everything appears to be perfect on the surface, the real motive behind the event is to push Ridge back into Brooke’s arms, shattering Taylor’s hopes of a future with Ridge.

Stunned and heartbroken by her father’s betrayal, Taylor faces off with Brooke in a fiery confrontation that turns physical, culminating in Taylor slapping Brooke. Eric’s interference only deepens Taylor’s pain, leaving her questioning her place in Ridge’s life. As Ridge struggles with the emotional fallout of his father’s schemes, he finds himself torn between his loyalty to Taylor and the persistent pull of his history with Brooke.

Meanwhile, tensions flare in another corner of the Forrester family. Katie, fiercely protective of her sister Hope, catches a suspicious moment between Carter and the mysterious Daphne. Her instincts tell her something is amiss, and she wastes no time confronting Carter about his growing closeness to Daphne. Katie’s warning sets off a chain reaction, as Carter finds himself trapped between Daphne’s influence and his lingering loyalty to Hope.

Daphne’s dark motives begin to surface, hinting that she’s playing a far bigger game than anyone realized — possibly tied to Steffy’s own agenda. Katie vows to expose Daphne before more damage is done, but her actions may unintentionally drive Carter and Daphne closer together, intensifying the danger to Hope.

At the same time, Ridge confronts Eric in a tense showdown, demanding to know why his father is sabotaging his happiness. The emotional father-son rift threatens to tear the Forrester family apart permanently. Ridge contemplates fleeing Los Angeles with Taylor to escape the toxic dynamics threatening their love.

However, Hope’s world is rocked by devastating news. After noticing Liam’s strange behavior and absence from their daughter Beth, she discovers he’s been hiding a tragic diagnosis — an inoperable brain tumor. The heartbreak doesn’t end there: Hope learns she too has a growing tumor, plunging her into her own health crisis just as she prepares to support Liam through his final days.

As secrets unravel and relationships reach breaking points, the future of the Forrester family, and Hope and Liam’s love, hang in the balance. Will anyone find peace, or will betrayal, illness, and manipulation destroy them all?
