May 5–9, 2025 | By Belinda at Soap Nerd via Soap Dirt
As The Bold and the Beautiful dives into a new week (Season 38, Episodes 159–163), fans can expect heartbreak, shocking revelations, and emotional reunions. Here’s everything you need to know about what’s coming to the CBS soap from Monday, May 5th to Friday, May 9th.
Monday, May 5: Liam’s Secret Looms — Hope Misreads His Intentions
The week begins with carryover drama from last Friday. Steffy urges Liam to come clean to Hope about his grim prognosis. She senses something is off—Liam has moved in with her and Finn and is behaving unlike himself. While Hope interprets his actions as wisdom and emotional support, the truth is far more serious.
Liam, knowingly facing a limited future, seems to be orchestrating Hope’s happiness with another man. He may even ask Steffy to break the news to Hope on his behalf.
Meanwhile, conversations between Carter and Hope pick up again. Carter continues to nudge Hope toward rekindling their connection. But despite the hopeful tone early in the week, things are poised to shift dramatically.
Hope admits to Carter that she finally realizes they may have handled things the wrong way. However, she still hasn’t apologized to Eric, Steffy, or Ridge—an apology many feel is necessary if she wants a future at Forrester Creations.
Tuesday, May 6: Facing Mortality — Liam & Steffy Worry for Kelly
Liam and Steffy wrestle with the devastating reality of his diagnosis. Finn is riddled with guilt, and though everyone is hoping for a miracle, none seems forthcoming.
The couple also worries about their daughter, Kelly. While Finn has already stepped into the father-figure role, Liam clearly wants to secure Hope’s future too—perhaps through Carter, a man he deems “a good one.”
Wednesday, May 7: Brooke Seeks Advice — Deacon Offers a Path Forward
Brooke turns to Deacon for advice, and he offers a suggestion about her next move. The context likely involves Ridge choosing to stay with Taylor—leaving Brooke in limbo. Though some fans support her, others express frustration over her continued devotion to Ridge, a man known for waffling.
Brooke’s heartbreak may soon push her toward a reunion with Nick, set to return in just over a month. Jack Wagner is already filming scenes.
Deacon’s advice could hint at something personal, but unless he’s aware of Luna’s secret connection to Sheila, it likely won’t involve a romantic reunion with Brooke.
Also on Wednesday, Steffy visits Hope at Brooke’s house to discuss Liam—setting the stage for an emotional turning point.
Thursday, May 8: The Truth Comes Out — Steffy Tells Hope
Thursday’s episode marks a pivotal moment in the storyline. Steffy reveals to Hope that Liam is dying. Emotions run high as both women break down in tears. Once rivals, they now find themselves bonding through grief instead of competition.
Meanwhile, Luna is determined to build a relationship with her father, Finn. She tells him that she knows he’s a good man who wouldn’t abandon his child.
In another corner of L.A., Daphne encourages Carter to move on from Hope—possibly initiating a new romantic direction for him.
Friday, May 9: Bill & Liam Confront the Past
In Friday’s episode, Liam and Bill sit down at Il Giardino for a heartfelt and raw conversation. They confront their complicated past and an unresolved argument that has weighed heavily on both. With Hope now aware of Liam’s condition, he may finally come clean to his father.
Expect Bill to be hit hard by the news, with guilt and regret surfacing fast.
Final Thoughts
With emotional breakdowns, long-awaited confessions, and romantic shifts, this week on The Bold and the Beautiful promises to be one of the most intense yet.
