The Bold and the Beautiful recap (July 28, 2025), served sizzling tension, secret smooches, and growing suspicion. As Ridge prepares for his Italy trip, both Taylor and Brooke make bold moves.

Finn Grows Suspicious as Liam’s Recovery Raises Red Flags

At the cliff house, Steffy spent her final moments with Finn before taking the kids on a trip. Their goodbye was tender, filled with kisses and emotional promises. But beneath the surface, Finn’s thoughts swirled with suspicion. He questioned the details of Liam’s surgery again. Although Steffy believed everything would become clear soon, Finn remained unsettled. His instincts told him something wasn’t adding up.

Meanwhile, at the Spencer mansion, Bill made an emotional confession. Liam discovered that Bill paid a staggering $1 million for his procedure—with no guarantee of success. Bill just wanted his son to live, and he poured his heart into a tearful apology. The father and son shared a moving embrace. But when Finn arrived shortly after, he brought unsettling questions. He examined Liam’s healing incisions and was stunned—they were much smaller than expected.

Liam admitted he felt strangely fine. Finn muttered about the “unbelievable” recovery, clearly suspicious. Nearby, Grace listened in secret and looked alarmed. It seemed she feared Finn was getting too close to the truth.

The Bold and the Beautiful Recap: Taylor Marks Her Territory While Brooke Flirts with Italy Dreams

Over at the Forrester design office, Taylor wasn’t hiding her frustration. She took aim at Brooke’s seductive wardrobe, clearly jealous and worried about the upcoming Italy trip. Taylor urged Brooke to find someone else to flirt with—anyone but Ridge. After a heated moment, Taylor stormed out. That’s when Nick walked in and took his chance with Brooke. They flirted, reminisced about Italy, and even shared a kiss—right as Eric entered.

Eric wasn’t pleased. Once alone with Nick, he warned him not to mess with the Naples trip or Brooke. But Nick wasn’t listening. He was too caught up in his romantic daydreams. Nick imagined a brand-new beginning with Brooke, far away from Ridge’s shadow. He smiled at the idea of an Italian romance blossoming into something more.

Ridge Gets a Kiss Goodbye—From Two Different Women

Taylor wasn’t done just yet. When she found Ridge, she pulled him into a deep, passionate kiss. Ridge was surprised by the gesture and asked why. Taylor played it cool, saying she simply wanted him to remember her while he was away. It felt like a subtle warning to Brooke, too.

Soon after, Steffy walked in and shared her own goodbye. She told Ridge she was heading out of town. But before leaving, she voiced her worry—Brooke would surely make a move while they were in Italy. Still, she believed Ridge would remain faithful. As the jet prepared for takeoff, Ridge kissed Taylor goodbye. Brooke stood by, watching with a complicated mix of hope and hesitation in her eyes. Italy hadn’t even begun, but the emotional stakes were already sky-high.
