Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for May 25-29, 2026 excite as Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) is possibly being thrilled because it looks like things are starting to pivot the way he wants. Plus, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) is annoyed at the pressure he’s under and Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) making things impossible.
Also, we’re going to talk about what happens after Steffy Forrester‘s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) big showdown with Hope. Plus, Brooke Logan‘s (Katherine Kelly Lang) reaction to what Hope does next, more angst from Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace), and Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) is left reeling.
So, let’s get into the hot spoilers for the week of May 25th. As we always do on early edition day, we’re going to start with what’s coming the rest of this week, then talk about next week’s action. Let’s do it.
Bold and the Beautiful Wednesday, May 20th: Zende & RJ Play Nice
Wednesday, May 20th is the last episode of May Sweeps. And we’re going to see R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) and Zende deciding they can play nice for the sake of Forrester Creations. I don’t think this is really what Zende wants, though. He’s quite frustrated and despite Hope’s best efforts to stir the pot at the leadership level, you know. And her refusing to be a team player and basically trying to put Hope for the Future before Eric Forrester‘s (John McCook) new couture line.
Despite all of that, she isn’t going to get her way. And that means Zende’s frustrations may grow because Steffy is going to slap Hope down soon, which is more problematic for him. Zende already got some reassurance on Tuesday from Eric, Ridge, and R.J. that Hope for the Future is popular and will return after Eric’s collection.
B&B Spoilers: Ridge is Frustrated
You know, Zende was also demanding answers about when it will come back. Ridge kind of got frustrated, but tells him, “Look, I promised Brooke it will come back, but we need to undo the damage Katie and Bill did.” What Ridge is saying is undoing the damage he did. Eric never would have been at Logan if not for him.
And of course, R.J. was griping about Katie Logan (Heather Tom) using Eric’s designs without his permission. Uh, sorry, those designs were bought and paid for. Like it or not, Ridge needs to own the mess he made, but he’s very much into blame-shifting. Katie questions her personal and professional reasons for wanting Hope to come over to Logan.
And if Katie thinks that she is considering Hope just for business reasons, you know. And it being a good thing for both Katie and Hope, that’s one thing. But if Katie decides that maybe she is trying to hurt Brooke, she may reconsider. And you know, the thing is, I don’t think Katie would ever turn Hope away if she wanted to join Logan. But at the same time, Katie doesn’t want to needlessly provoke Brooke.
Thursday, May 21st on Bold: Electra in Shock
Thursday, May 21st, we’ve got Electra learning something shocking. We know Hayes almost walked in on Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) and Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) in the design office and I’m sure that that creep is not going to go away until he gets what he wants, which is Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) to take him back.
I’m still unsure how it is Dylan’s responsibility to glue back together what Remy broke. I will say that it feels a little fast for the reveal that Remy is Dylan’s cousin because we know how Bold and the Beautiful loves to drag things out for way, way too long.
But since we’ve got lots of scenes for Charlie (Dick Christie) that so far seem to serve no purpose, it could be that they’ve brought him back so that he’s checking the perimeter and he stumbles upon Remy lurking around in the shadows in his hat, which is a very poor disguise. If Electra finds out that Remy is back in her orbit, that would definitely shock and horrify her.
Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Hope Visits Katie
Also this week, Katie and Hope share a warm moment at Logan with Liam and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) there. So, they may be discussing her taking a leap of faith since Brooke did not get the co-CEO job and nothing has changed.
Katie understands where Hope is coming from about sticking it out at Forrester Creations as long as possible despite being dissatisfied and feeling like she wasn’t valued. So, you know, Katie gets what Liam was saying about how Hope feels like Forrester Creations is intrinsic to her on the Tuesday episode.
I will say I thought that Hope was pretty manipulative and kind of awful when she told Brooke that she failed her. Hope gave Brooke an impossible task. You know, go take the co-CEO job with no ownership shares.
You know, make it happen for me. So, we’ll have to see if this conversation with Katie and Hope happens before or after she goes back to Steffy for one last showdown because on Thursday, Hope confronts Steffy again. She is demanding answers and things are going to get really intense.
Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Hope Appears to Be on Her Way Out of FC
You know, earlier in the week, Ridge snapped at Zende when he was also pushing for a definite date on when Hope for the Future will be back and Ridge said it is coming back, but we have to focus on Eric now. So basically, all the leadership is aligned against Hope getting the firm answers she wants because the line isn’t going to be brought back right this second.
Meanwhile, Steffy has had just about enough of Hope pushing her when the one answer Steffy can give Hope is not right now, but later. Steffy, Ridge, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and Brooke all get that Hope for the Future has to wait for now, but not necessarily forever. Steffy may also blast Hope for pushing Brooke to try and steal Steffy’s job. She’s not dumb and she knows that Hope was behind it and things are going to get really bad.
B&B Spoilers Friday, May 22nd: Will’s Heart on the Line
Friday, May 22nd, Will puts his heart at risk. I think he’s going to ask Electra to officially reunite with him, to choose him over R.J. And I just wonder if Electra will break Will’s heart or if she will kick the can down the road and tell him she can’t decide yet. If Electra knows that Remy’s back, I think Will will remind her that he protected her from Remy before and would happily do it again, but R.J.’s making the same offer. Hope’s future at Forrester Creations is up in the air by the end of the week.
She pretty much said it on the Tuesday episode. She told Brooke that she told her mom, “You have no idea how much was at stake with this.” So, that was Hope basically stating if her play with Brooke didn’t work out, then Hope’s going to have to go to Logan. This was like the one string she could pull to try and stay. But Brooke doesn’t know what’s on the line for her.
She thinks it’s just the same old same old gripe about Hope for the Future. And if Hope pushes too hard on Steffy, I think she will snap and either fire her or tell Hope, “What are you going to do about it?” Because she hinted already to Ridge and Steffy that she didn’t have to stay there. And Steffy may say, “Okay, fine. Don’t.”
Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Week of May 25th-29th
May 25th through the 29th, we’ve got R.J. wanting Electra to choose him. And of course, Will wants her, too. Remy’s return could heighten the drama of this issue. Dylan doesn’t want to help Remy, but he refuses to give up on Dee. So, I wonder if Remy will amp up his demands on Dylan. Deacon should be back on screen soon now that we’ve got Taylor back. Hopefully Sheila, too. Electra is still trying to wrap her head around last week’s bombshell, which may be tied to Remy. And Hope makes a huge life-changing decision. She’s tired of Steffy having power over her.
Meanwhile, Liam, Katie, and Bill are determined to offer Hope everything she wants, including all the support to put out another line as soon as possible. It’s too bad she’s not a designer, so we’ll have to wait and see. If Hope goes, will Zende follow her? Because Hope’s decision is make or break for him, too.
If Hope walks out after bickering with Steffy, or if she runs her mouth to the point that she’s fired, then Zende’s designs really never will see the light of day. And that’s very upsetting to him. Hope is also still upset with Brooke. You know, Hope feels betrayed. And her mom chose to upset her instead of upsetting Ridge. And if Hope goes to Logan, Brooke’s going to feel betrayed and she may turn around and blame Ridge and Steffy for Hope feeling like she had no choice but to walk out if that is indeed how it goes.
