By Belinda, Soap Dirt

The week of August 18–22 on The Bold and the Beautiful brings explosive betrayals, romantic shake-ups, and a dangerous return that could derail multiple relationships. Here’s your full early preview.

Ridge & Brooke’s Secret in Italy Sparks Fallout

Last week, Ridge left Brooke at Forrester Creations to visit Taylor at the mansion, a move that immediately unsettled Brooke. Eric reassured Brooke they were “meant to be,” while she gushed to Eric and Katie about the “magical” moment she shared with Ridge in Italy.

Meanwhile, Nick arrived unexpectedly and proposed. Brooke accepted the ring with a big smile and an “I love you, too,” seemingly leading him on. Across town, Ridge kissed Taylor and discussed their upcoming wedding—giving no hint of trouble—despite knowing he would soon break her heart.

Thursday, August 14 – Electra Makes a Big Move

Electra decides she’s ready to take her relationship with Will to the next level, thanking him for his patience. But Will, a true Spencer man, seems eager not to wait much longer.

With Luna awake and Remy lurking, there’s concern their stalkers could return at the worst possible moment.

Meanwhile, Taylor questions Ridge about his emotional moment with Brooke in Italy, suspecting she’ll have to pull the truth from him “like a dentist pulling molars.” Taylor vows she’s not taking off her engagement ring—unaware Ridge is on his way back to Brooke.

Friday, August 15 – Bill Confronts Grace, Sheila Plots

Bill Spencer heads to University Hospital to confront Dr. Grace Buckingham. Despite turning herself in to the police, Grace is already back at work, leaving Bill demanding answers and vowing to “rip her a new one.”

Also, Sheila overhears Katie at Il Giardino planning a party for her son Will—likely a birthday celebration. This reignites Sheila’s concerns about Luna’s obsession with Will, especially since Luna was thinking about kissing him immediately after waking from her coma.

Sheila, Lee, and Luna – The Secret Alliance

Sheila and Lee spend time with Luna, who is recovering in civilian clothes but still in a hospital bed. The three agree no one can know Luna is alive, and they begin plotting her new life—likely outside Los Angeles. Lee still hopes to rehabilitate her granddaughter/niece, though that may prove impossible.
