On Tuesday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, things got pretty intense when Hope made a surprising comeback at Forrester Creations. Her arrival caught Ridge completely off guard, and Carter had some mixed feelings about it too.
Brooke was all smiles and welcomed Hope back with open arms. But Ridge was stunned to learn that it was actually Steffy who pushed to have Hope reinstated. When Hope was asked why she and Steffy had made peace, she gave a pretty vague answer, saying they were both ready to move past their old rivalry and start fresh.
Ridge noticed something different about Hope—she seemed more aware and thoughtful than before. Hope explained this shift was because of recent events that had really opened her eyes. Brooke encouraged Hope to share the news with Carter, which led to an emotional visit to his apartment.
There, Hope told Carter that he was the one she truly missed and wanted to be with, downplaying any importance of what Carter might have overheard earlier. Even though Carter looked torn, he listened carefully as Hope made it clear she wanted to rebuild their relationship.
Meanwhile, over at the cliff house, Steffy and Liam had a serious chat about Liam’s latest medical scan, which sadly hadn’t improved. Despite the grim news, Liam was happy to hear that Steffy and Hope had decided to finally put their past fights behind them. Steffy explained that both women realized how much peace and unity mattered, especially with Liam’s health situation looming over them.
Liam was touched by their decision to reconcile, feeling like his illness might have brought them back together. But Steffy made sure he knew this was a choice they made on their own, and it had been a long time coming.
The episode wrapped up with Finn getting a call from the hospital—Liam’s medical team wanted to see him urgently, hinting that there could be a big update on Liam’s neurological condition soon.
So, Hope’s back in the picture, and while some relationships seem to be healing, there’s still a lot of complicated feelings and loyalties that could shake things up going forward.
