On today’s explosive episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, industry tensions collide with personal passions, as Brooke makes a strategic move to reclaim her place beside Ridge, and Carter finds himself in the middle of a complicated emotional triangle with Daphne and Hope. Let’s dive into the tangled webs and powerful confessions that shook up Los Angeles today.
As the fashion world still buzzes from the recent showstopper, Brooke beams with pride after taking center stage. Hope enters just in time to praise her mother, calling her the undeniable talk of the industry. Although Hope missed the big event, she admits that the time away gave her room to reflect. She’s come to terms with the fact that the way she and Carter ended things wasn’t ideal. Brooke gently probes about her daughter’s current status with Carter, and Hope reveals that it’s “complicated,” then turns the question back on her mom—what’s going on with her and Ridge?
With a knowing smile, Brooke recalls the magic she and Ridge shared on stage. Hope, remorseful for her role in the past shakeup at Forrester, believes her actions might have unintentionally derailed Brooke and Ridge’s reunion. She’s determined to support her mother and even encourages Brooke to follow her heart. Brooke, ever confident, tells Hope that Ridge is her destiny. “I’m still his Logan,” she says with certainty.
Meanwhile, across town at Forrester Creations, a fiery clash erupts between Ridge and Eric. The elder Forrester is unapologetic in his stance—he believes Ridge made a major mistake by walking away from Brooke. He urges his son to stop living in limbo and finally make a choice. According to Eric, that choice is clear: it has to be Brooke. Ridge argues back, reminding his father that he’s already committed to someone else—Taylor. But Eric won’t let up. In his eyes, no one compares to Brooke. “She’s the love of your life,” he declares. Ridge insists the situation is more complex than that, but Eric isn’t buying it. He warns his son that continuing to juggle two women isn’t fair to anyone—and urges Ridge to go back to Brooke where he belongs.
Elsewhere, Carter is lost in thought, reminiscing about better days with Hope when Zen walks in. Sensing something’s up, Zen casually mentions that he walked in on Carter and Daphne earlier. “Is there something going on between you two?” he asks. Carter denies any romantic involvement and assures Zen that his heart still belongs to Hope. But Zen isn’t so sure—he’s seen the way Daphne looks at Carter.
Backstage, Katie isn’t hiding her suspicions either. She confronts Daphne directly, demanding to know whether she’s been playing Carter all along. Daphne pushes back, claiming that she only came to L.A. to help Steffy and support the Forrester family, not to interfere with anyone’s love life. Katie remains unconvinced. Given her own past with Carter, she isn’t about to let someone toy with his emotions.
Daphne then drops a bombshell—she’s fallen for Carter. At first, Katie scoffs at the idea, but Daphne insists her feelings are genuine. She never expected to be drawn to Carter, especially after everything he’s been through. “I didn’t come here for him,” she explains, “but I stayed because I care.” Just then, Carter walks in, catching the tail end of their conversation. Daphne quickly covers, saying they were only talking about how much they respect and admire him. Carter looks stunned but says nothing—for now.
Meanwhile, back in the main office, Ridge is tying up business with a client when Brooke arrives, riding high on the success of their recent show. She brings up the undeniable buzz surrounding them—not just their designs, but them as a pair. Ridge admits the feedback has been positive, but Brooke is quick to point out that their chemistry was a major draw. “People loved seeing us together,” she insists, before adding, “I loved it too.”
Brooke doesn’t waste time: she tells Ridge that the whole fashion world wants the designer and his muse reunited. She believes their onstage connection was more than performance—it was real. Ridge counters that the moment was produced, orchestrated by Eric for publicity. Brooke doesn’t care. She says his father knows what’s best and sees what they both deny—that they still belong together. 
With confidence and longing in her voice, Brooke wraps her arms around Ridge and whispers, “I’m your Logan… now and always.” Ridge is clearly moved, but says nothing—leaving the door open for what comes next.
But not everyone is rooting for Brooke. Steffy remains fiercely protective of her mother, Taylor, and may soon deliver a cutting blow. According to upcoming previews, Steffy could soon confront Brooke with six chilling words when Ridge is once again forced to choose between the two women. Steffy has never hidden her desire to see her parents reunite and sees Brooke as an obstacle to that dream. With Ridge’s heart once again torn in two, Brooke’s timing could either reignite their legendary romance—or destroy it for good.
As emotions swirl and alliances shift, The Bold and the Beautiful proves once again that in the world of high fashion and higher stakes, love is never simple. Will Ridge give in to Brooke’s campaign of passion? Can Carter resist the unexpected pull of Daphne, or is his heart still set on Hope? And just how far will Katie and Steffy go to protect the people they love?
