The Bold and the Beautiful gears up for a turbulent week as emotional pressure, simmering grudges, and long-buried insecurities explode across Los Angeles. The spoilers for April 7–11 promise a run of episodes where no one escapes the fallout, and every family—the Forresters, Logans, and Spencers—is pulled into the chaos.

The drama opens with Liam Spencer’s terrifying medical crisis. As last week ended, Steffy Forrester stumbled upon a horrific sight: Liam lying unconscious on Bill Spencer’s front steps, blood trailing from a wound on his head. Panicked, Steffy called for an ambulance, and Liam was rushed into emergency care. Dr. Grace Buckingham quickly diagnosed an intracranial hemorrhage, warning that his brain might be suffering from oxygen loss. The situation was so critical that Liam flatlined on Friday’s cliffhanger episode, leaving Steffy screaming for help as the monitors blared.

But despite the grim diagnosis, viewers already know Liam survives. A leaked behind-the-scenes photo reveals Liam sharing lunch with Bill at Il Giardino, sporting a wrapped bandage or cloth cap to hide his post-surgery injury. The scene was filmed the same day as a Brooke-versus-Hope confrontation taped for the March 26 episode, confirming that Liam’s storyline continues long after this medical emergency. Executive producer Brad Bell has even teased that Liam’s new arc will explore depths the show has never gone to before. And with Scott Clifton and Don Diamont signing fresh contracts, it’s clear both characters are sticking around.

While Liam fights for his life, another volatile storyline ignites: Deacon Sharpe’s explosive confrontation with Carter Walton. After promising his daughter Hope that he would “handle things,” Deacon storms into Forrester Creations, determined to hold Carter accountable for the hurt Hope endured. Carter tries to explain himself—insisting he believed Hope understood his choices—but Deacon isn’t having it. Fueled by anger, guilt, and a desperate desire to protect his daughter, Deacon snaps.

In a moment that looks ripped out of The Karate Kid, Deacon kicks Carter in the leg before launching a series of punches. Carter doesn’t stay down; he pushes back, landing a hit of his own. Daphne Rose steps into the fray, frantically trying to break up the fight. When the dust settles and Deacon storms out, Daphne tends to Carter, sparking chemistry that has been quietly building. The brawl may be the push their slow-burn connection needs—and a clear sign that Carter and Hope really are over for good.

Meanwhile, Deacon has offered Hope one of the small apartments above Il Giardino, even though she’s uneasy about living so close to Sheila’s memory. Still reeling from heartbreak and career upheaval, Hope may finally take him up on his offer, leaving her tiny cabin behind.

Brooke Logan, however, is spiraling for very different reasons. She’s desperate to repair the damage to Hope’s career, but she’s even more desperate to pull Ridge back into her orbit. Unfortunately for Brooke, Ridge is standing firm: he won’t reinstate Hope at Forrester Creations, and he won’t rekindle his relationship with Brooke. She refuses to accept either answer.

Brooke’s desperation grows to the point of absurdity. In one scene coming up next week, Taylor Hayes walks into the CEO office expecting to see Ridge—but instead finds Brooke stepping out from behind a privacy screen wearing only a purple bra and panties. Brooke, mistakenly believing Ridge walked in, tries seductively calling his name before she realizes Taylor is the one watching. Taylor is furious, and Brooke’s reckless stunt only proves how far she’s willing to go to win Ridge back.

Taylor confronts Brooke directly, refusing to let her hide behind excuses or romantic fantasies. She calls out Brooke’s manipulative behavior, exposing fears and insecurities Brooke has dodged for years. Ridge, caught between two powerful women demanding emotional loyalty, must finally decide whether he is ruled by nostalgia for Brooke or stability with Taylor.

Back at Forrester Creations, Carter struggles privately with the emotional aftermath of Deacon’s attack. Though he tries to downplay the incident, concern from coworkers grows—especially from Katie. Carter doesn’t want to worsen Deacon’s situation, but keeping quiet risks enabling Deacon’s dangerous descent. Across town, Bill Spencer sees an opportunity in Deacon’s outburst, using it as proof that Deacon is a threat to Hope and a liability to anyone close to him. Bill leverages the incident to influence Ridge, Liam, and his own sons, inserting himself into unfolding conflicts with characteristic force.

As all this unfolds, younger characters add their own sparks to the inferno. Luna Nozawa complains to her grandmother Sheila (in flashback or off-screen references) about Will Spencer spending too much time with Electra Forrester. Will and Electra grow increasingly frisky at Forrester Creations, but Will’s impatience and wandering thoughts—especially toward Luna—hint at a love triangle ready to ignite.

Meanwhile, word spreads about Liam’s crisis, forcing Steffy to explain to Finn why she and Liam missed a planned outing with Kelly. And Bill, previously harsh with Liam, must face the guilt of his last words to his son before the collapse.

By week’s end, betrayals, fistfights, medical emergencies, and romantic desperation collide, creating a chain reaction that will reshape relationships across Los Angeles. No one—from Deacon to Brooke, from Ridge to Carter, from Hope to Liam—will escape the consequences when long-suppressed emotions finally erupt.
