The Bold and the Beautiful Recap | Carter Catches an Earful - Thursday, May 15, 2025 [SPOILERS]

Things are getting grim over on B&B, and the drama is hitting harder than a Forrester fashion show gone wrong. In Thursday’s The Bold and the Beautiful full episode recap, we’re riding the emotional rollercoaster with tearful declarations, shocking eavesdropping, and enough secrets to fuel a jumbo jet.

Carter | B&B, CBS

Hope and Liam Take a Stroll Down Memory Lane

Over at Brooke’s house, Hope is playing the loyal ride-or-die as Liam opens up about his terrifying health crisis. He’s got a brain mass that’s not budging, and while he’s trying to stay all Zen and nostalgic, the stabbing headaches and dizzy spells are screaming otherwise. Hope’s clinging to optimism like it’s her job — she’s not about to let him talk like he’s on the way out, even if he’s acting like every cuddle could be his last.

Liam, of course, wants to spend his potentially numbered days wrapped in family memories instead of hospital gowns. He’s all about love and legacy, waxing poetic about birthdays and bike rides like he’s narrating his own life montage. But when he suggests Hope has a future with Carter, you can practically hear the record scratch. Hope’s sobbing that she’s not done loving him, not now, not ever. And outside? Oh yes, Carter is lurking like it’s open mic night at Eavesdroppers Anonymous, catching every heartbreaking word.

Taylor Gets the Lowdown on Liam

Meanwhile, at the Malibu cliff house, Taylor walks into Steffy and Finn’s little bubble of panic and immediately sniffs out the drama. She’s not wrong — Steffy’s visibly rattled and practically vibrating with all the secrets she’s sworn to keep. One nudge from Mama Taylor and she cracks. Cue the off-screen info dump, and suddenly Taylor’s caught up and completely gutted. Liam’s situation is worse than she imagined, and watching her daughter carry that weight has her feeling every ounce of motherly heartbreak.

Finn assures her they’re fighting the good fight, but let’s be real — medical miracles aren’t keeping pace with the doom cloud over Liam’s head. Taylor’s ready to call in every specialist on the planet, but Steffy’s quick to remind her this is on the down-low. Not a word to Ridge. Not to anyone. Well… except Hope, because Steffy broke that rule already. Taylor wants to know how she took it — and apparently, “horrified” is the vibe. Understandable, since the next step in this emotional mess is telling the kids. Taylor’s ready to rally around them all, but you can see she’s barely holding it together herself.

Daphne Drops Truth Bombs on Carter

Back at Forrester Creations, Carter’s trying to do anything except obsess over Hope — and failing miserably. Enter Daphne, who sees right through him. She knows he’s still tangled up in Hope’s emotional web, and she’s not here for it. She shuts the door like she’s about to stage an intervention, and honestly, she kind of is.

She straight up tells him that chasing Hope could end in heartbreak and points out the trail of emotional wreckage she’s left behind. Carter tries to play it cool, claiming his track record isn’t much better, but Daphne isn’t letting him off the hook. She suggests that maybe, just maybe, Hope’s going to end up right back with Liam — and Carter should start protecting his heart before it’s shattered like last season’s couture. He doesn’t want to hear it, and he walks out. But based on what he overhears later, Daphne might’ve hit the nail on the head.

Carter Gets an Earful — and It’s Not the Good Kind

While Liam and Hope are neck-deep in nostalgic love confessions, Carter decides to do a little unauthorized surveillance. Peering in like the romantic wreck he is, he hears Liam tell Hope to move on — specifically with him. Carter should be thrilled, right? Wrong. Because Hope, through her tears, says she still wants Liam. She’s not ready to let go. She’s all in until the very end.
