Hope Stands Her Ground, Ridge Walks Away and Finn Makes a Life-Changing Decision

In today’s The Bold and the Beautiful full episode recap, we break down all the drama as Hope refuses to back down, Ridge plays the blame game, and Finn prepares to drop a truth bomb that could change everything. Buckle up, because B&B is serving some serious tension, and we are here for every second of it.

Hope Doubles Down – And Carter Looks Like He’s About to Crack

Hope will not back down

Hope Logan is not backing down. After pulling off the corporate coup of the century and taking over Forrester Creations with Carter Walton, she’s making it very clear—this is her company now. And Ridge? Oh, he’s welcome to come back… as an employee.

Carter, on the other hand, is feeling the weight of his choices. He betrayed Ridge, his so-called best friend, and now he’s starting to wonder if he made the right move. Hope, ever the master of persuasion, reminds him that they worked too hard for this to let Ridge and Steffy’s whining get to them. Besides, was Ridge some kind of saint when he let Steffy run roughshod over everyone? No, he wasn’t. And Hope? She’s done bending over backward to appease the Forresters. Mic drop.

Ridge and Brooke: The Same Old Song and Dance

Brooke and Ridge: Time to move on?

Meanwhile, over at Forrester, Brooke Logan is busy trying to win Ridge back for the millionth time. She tells him he belongs at Forrester. More importantly, he belongs with her. Because apparently, Brooke never gets tired of this storyline.

Ridge, however, is having none of it. He lays all the blame for this corporate mess at Hope’s feet and insists that she is the problem. He even has the nerve to say she used Carter to get what she wanted. Brooke, to her credit, tries to play peacemaker, but Ridge isn’t interested in compromise. He tells her, straight-up, that Hope needs to learn that what she did was wrong.

Brooke, of course, doesn’t see it that way. She argues that Hope has been constantly under fire from Steffy and Ridge himself. Maybe, just maybe, Ridge should take a little accountability for the toxic work environment he helped create? Ridge, predictably, does not want to hear it. And after another round of “but we’re meant to be together,” Ridge just walks out.

Is this the end of Brooke and Ridge? Spoiler alert: probably not.

Steffy and Taylor React to the Ridge & Brooke Situation

Meanwhile, Steffy Forrester gets the tea from Zende and Daphne—Ridge is at Forrester… with Brooke. The news does not sit well. Taylor, however, is unbothered. She’s convinced that Ridge wouldn’t still be living with her if he actually wanted to be with Brooke. But let’s be real: we all know Ridge is a walking back-and-forth romance novel.

Steffy, ever the fighter, is not about to sit back and let Hope and Carter run Forrester into the ground. Whether it’s legal action, Daphne’s scheming, or Carter waking up and realizing he’s on the wrong team, she’s determined to take back what belongs to her family. The Forresters aren’t going down without a fight.

Finn Prepares to Drop a Bombshell

While Steffy is busy strategizing, Finn is in his office, staring at pictures of Steffy and… Luna. After some dramatic sighing and soul-searching, he finally makes a decision—he’s telling Steffy the truth. Tomorrow, she’ll know that Luna is his daughter.

Will Finn’s confession rock his marriage? Oh, you know it will. Nothing stays quiet on B&B for long.

What’s Next on The Bold and the Beautiful?

The drama isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Steffy makes a move that surprises Liam, Poppy pressures Finn to keep their secret (good luck with that), and Hope and Carter continue their takeover… but for how long?

Stay tuned for the next Bold and the Beautiful full episode recap, because if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that things are never quiet at Forrester Creations.
