FULL Recap: The Bold and the Beautiful – Thursday, May 22, 2025
The episode airing on May 22, 2025, of The Bold and the Beautiful delivered a whirlwind of emotions, unexpected confessions, and brewing betrayals. Fans tuning in on Thursday were treated to major turning points in some of the most intense storylines currently unfolding in Los Angeles. Here’s the full breakdown of what happened and what it could mean going forward.
Steffy’s Shocking Announcement Rocks Everyone
The episode kicked off with Steffy making a bombshell announcement that left Finn completely blindsided—she’s pregnant again. The timing couldn’t be more complicated, considering the tension between her and Finn due to his lingering suspicions about her emotional connection with Liam.
Finn’s reaction was mixed. On the surface, he was supportive and tried to act excited, but it was clear his mind was racing. Later in the episode, he confided in Bridget that he isn’t sure the baby is his—raising serious questions about Steffy’s recent interactions with Liam.
Liam Feels the Heat
Meanwhile, Liam began to feel the walls closing in. After Finn confronted him earlier in the week, Liam grew increasingly defensive. On Thursday’s episode, he had a heated conversation with Hope, who noticed his erratic behavior and questioned whether he’s hiding something.
Liam denied everything but became visibly nervous when Hope mentioned Steffy’s pregnancy. Alone later, Liam picked up his phone and looked at an unsent message to Steffy that read: “We need to talk. About the baby.”
Is Liam hiding a secret about a one-night reunion with Steffy? All signs are pointing to a tangled paternity mess.
Brooke Confronts Ridge About Taylor’s Arrest
Another hot storyline this Thursday involved Brooke and Ridge discussing the shocking news from Europe: Taylor has been arrested in connection to a vehicular manslaughter case. Brooke is livid—not just about the situation, but because Ridge failed to tell her earlier.
Brooke believes Taylor’s actions—no matter how accidental—prove she’s unstable, while Ridge insists they don’t have the full story. The two clashed fiercely, and it’s clear that Taylor’s legal troubles are reigniting old conflicts between them.
Thomas and Hope—An Unexpected Turn
Thomas and Hope had a quieter but emotionally heavy moment on May 22. While Hope has been growing closer to Carter, there’s clearly still a bond between her and Thomas, especially now that Douglas is going through a tough time.
Thomas gently reminded Hope of the family they once dreamed of, and she softened. Just as they were about to hug, Carter walked in—his face instantly falling at the sight of their closeness. Is a new love triangle forming?
Paris Returns with Big News
In a surprise return, Paris Buckingham showed up at Forrester Creations with a smile—and an engagement ring! She revealed that she’s engaged to a tech entrepreneur she met in San Francisco, but fans could tell Zende was quietly heartbroken.
Zende later confided in RJ that he still isn’t over Paris and wishes things had turned out differently. Could Paris’s return reignite an old flame?
What’s Next?
The episode closed with Finn watching Steffy sleep, clearly distressed. He whispered to himself, “If the baby’s not mine… what then?”
This powerful ending sets up what promises to be a dramatic Friday episode, with more revelations, confrontations, and emotional stakes than ever before.
Final Thoughts
May 22’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful packed emotion, mystery, and suspense into every scene. As secrets bubble to the surface and loyalties are tested, fans can expect even more shocking twists as May sweeps come to a dramatic close.
