The April 29 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful explodes with drama as old wounds reopen and relationships teeter on the brink. At the heart of the chaos is Ridge Forrester, who finds himself blindsided by a runway moment that reawakens everything he’s tried to move past. In a glittering showcase orchestrated by Eric, Brooke Logan unexpectedly takes center stage, her radiant presence stealing the spotlight — and stirring memories Ridge would rather forget.
What was meant to be a quiet, affirming day spent working beside Taylor is shattered as Ridge watches his father and ex-wife bathe in praise, their chemistry undeniable to the press and staff alike. Ridge corners Eric after the show, furious that the spectacle wasn’t just about the gown but a symbolic nudge toward a reunion he no longer wants. Eric, however, fires back that Ridge’s continued emotional response proves his heart remains entangled with Brooke. He warns Ridge that denying that truth will only harm everyone — including the company.
Meanwhile, another triangle takes shape downstairs. Katie, catching wind of Daphne Rose’s suspiciously cozy rapport with Carter Walton, follows her instincts and confronts the newcomer. Daphne, far from intimidated, meets Katie’s questions with bold confidence, suggesting that Carter’s future is his to choose. Their clash leaves Carter conflicted, caught between Katie’s protectiveness and Daphne’s rising ambition — all under the shadow of Stephy’s behind-the-scenes influence.
Hope, emotionally raw from Brooke’s renewed proximity to Ridge, worries that history might repeat itself — especially with Ridge possibly wavering on his commitment to Taylor. And as Hope battles her inner turmoil, Stephie monitors everything from afar, her plan to keep Hope distracted in motion. But Katie’s discovery of Daphne’s deeper agenda could cause a backlash strong enough to derail Stephie’s strategy and fracture fragile alliances.
Taylor, in the meantime, remains committed to her outreach work, unaware of the emotional avalanche building above. That changes with a single text from Ridge: “We need to talk.” The weight of those words hints at a seismic shift — one that could erase months of healing.
By episode’s end, every character is left standing on unstable ground. Ridge faces a choice that could redefine his family. Brooke wrestles with feelings she can’t suppress. Eric doubles down on his belief in their destined love. Katie prepares for a deeper investigation. And Daphne — ambitious, poised, and mysterious — may yet change the future of more than one relationship.
In the high-stakes world of Forrester Creations, where love and legacy intertwine, no thread is ever fully cut — and every runway moment has the power to unravel everything.
