B&B Recap | Daphne Moves In on Heartbroken Carter as Hope Runs Back to Liam - Friday, May 16, 2025 [SPOILERS]

In Friday's The Bold and the Beautiful full episode recap, Hope sobs over Liam, Carter spirals with Daphne, and Steffy’s fury burns hotter than ever. It’s a collision of heartbreak, betrayal, and way too many tissues.

Hope’s Confused, Carter’s Crushed, and Liam’s Basically Sainted

Hope Logan is an emotional wreck (again), crying into Liam’s arms like it’s her full-time job. She drops the L-bomb on her ex, pledging eternal love while sobbing like she’s auditioning for a soap within a soap. And who's lurking in the shadows like a heartbroken hunk? Carter, of course. Our poor, emotionally-scarred legal eagle catches the whole thing and practically melts into the floor with heartbreak. Man’s got tears in his eyes and a flashback reel playing in his head.

Brooke Puts Daphne in Check

Meanwhile, Brooke is doing what Brooke does best: meddling. She corners Daphne at Forrester and basically tells her to step aside because Hope and Carter still have that epic, slow-burn kind of love. Daphne, never one to back down without a smirk, gives her best “Girl, please” look. But don’t count her out just yet. She’s not done stirring this pot.

Steffy’s Fury in Full Force 

Over at the cliff house, Steffy is in full mama bear mode. Taylor’s there trying to play family therapist, and Finn’s doing his usual sensitive guy routine, but Steffy? She’s angry. Like, red-hot, “this isn’t fair” angry. Her ex, Liam, is dying (still dramatic, still tragic), and she’s not about to let him face it alone.

She vents about how far she and Liam have come—just friends, good co-parents—and now this? He’s about to be ripped away? No. Just no. Steffy’s got a lot of feelings and none of them are quiet. And yes, she’s heartbroken for her daughters too. As she puts it, “Who will grow up without their father.” Yeah, we’re crying too.

Liam Hands Out Forgiveness Like It’s Candy on Halloween

Back at Brooke’s house, Hope is all in her feelings, wondering if Liam regrets Steffy telling her the truth. Liam says no, but really, he’s on a mission. A mission to die with peace in his heart and everybody’s love life tied up in a neat little bow.

He practically begs Hope to go back to Carter. Seriously. He’s out here playing Cupid with a terminal diagnosis. He tells her to forgive Carter and get that happy-ever-after before it’s too late. According to Liam, Carter’s love for Hope is the real deal. “You’re the only woman for him,” he says, like he’s handing her off in a rom-com wedding scene.

Carter Spirals and Daphne Slides Right In

So where’s our leading man Carter? Oh, just having an emotional meltdown at Forrester. He’s stomping in like a man betrayed and tells Daphne he needs to get the hell out of there. And guess what? She’s more than happy to come along for the ride.

At his loft, Carter’s brooding like it’s an Olympic sport. He feels played, humiliated, like he’s the universe’s punching bag for romance. Every relationship he’s had? Tragic. He almost blew up his entire life for Hope, and now she’s sobbing in Liam’s arms? Make it make sense.

Daphne, ever the opportunist, gives him all the comfort and validation Hope apparently couldn’t. She’s not just there for him—she’s there for him. She’s ready to catch this man if he falls… and let’s be real, she’s hoping he falls right into her arms.
