The Bold and The Beautiful unleashes a storm of heartbreak and deception, airing Monday, June 16, 2025, at 1:30pm on CBS. Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) hidden love for Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) shatters Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), while Luna Nozawa’s (Lisa Yamada) clash with Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) escalates, threatening Forrester Creations. As Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) faces a health crisis, fans on X are gripped by the turmoil.
Ridge’s confession, overheard by Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) on June 12, 2025, exposes his heart still belongs to Brooke, not Taylor, his fiancée, per Soap Opera Digest. Carter, torn by loyalty, shares the recording with Taylor before their June 20 wedding. In Monday’s episode, Taylor confronts Ridge at Forrester’s design studio, her voice breaking: “You called me a compromise!” per TV Insider. Ridge, guilt-ridden, admits his love for Brooke, canceling the wedding. Taylor, devastated, decides to leave Los Angeles for a fresh start, per Deadline. Ridge’s anger turns on Carter, sparking a heated clash that nearly turns physical. “Carter betrayed Ridge, but Ridge betrayed Taylor—messy!” an X user tweeted, with #BoldAndBeautiful trending.
Meanwhile, Luna, confirmed as Ridge’s daughter from a past romance with Poppy Nozawa (Romy Park), fuels her feud with Steffy, who blocks her executive ambitions. On June 16, Luna corners Steffy at a Forrester gala, demanding, “I’m a Forrester—give me my place!” Steffy, suspicious of Luna’s motives, reveals she’s investigating Poppy’s past, uncovering lab discrepancies in Luna’s DNA test, per Soaps.com. Poppy, desperate to rein in Luna, begs her to seek therapy, but Luna’s obsession grows. “Steffy’s my obstacle,” she tells RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman), hinting at a risky plan. X fans speculate: “Luna’s unhinged—Steffy better watch out!”
Liam’s rumored health scare—a possible heart condition, per unconfirmed Soap Central reports—adds emotional weight. At Spencer Publications, Liam confides in Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) about his fear of dying alone, reflecting on lost loves with Steffy and Hope Logan (Annika Noelle). Hope, newly engaged to Carter, visits Liam after hearing of his hospital tests, stirring old feelings. “If I don’t make it, I want you to know I never stopped loving you,” Liam admits, per TVLine. Hope, torn, promises to stand by him, complicating her commitment to Carter. “Liam and Hope’s chemistry is back—Carter’s in trouble,” an X post read.
The episode climaxes with Taylor’s tearful farewell at LAX, Ridge pleading for forgiveness, and Luna plotting her next move against Steffy. Will Taylor return to reclaim her life? Can Poppy save Luna from her spiral? Will Liam’s health crisis reunite him with Hope or Steffy? The Bold and The Beautiful weaves betrayal, obsession, and love into a gripping saga.
