The upcoming episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, covering October 27 through 31, promise a blend of temptation, tension, and escalating fear that shakes nearly every character in Los Angeles. As usual for the early-week preview, the groundwork for next week’s storylines is already being laid, and the drama is rising fast.

The week begins with Deacon Sharpe and Steffy Forrester at the center of two wildly different emotional storms. For Deacon, things heat up in ways he didn’t anticipate. For Steffy, fear creeps in from every direction as she senses a threat she can’t define but can’t ignore.

Meanwhile, a major shift happens at Forrester Creations. Dee Sharpe shows up for his first day as the new designer for Hope for the Future, stepping into a position he’s dreamt about for years. He’s buzzing with excitement, but something weighs on him—Remy’s insistence that his name not be mentioned at the office. Remy brushes it off, saying Dee needs to focus on his future, not the past. Their exchange turns affectionate, but viewers know secrets like this rarely stay buried for long.

At the same time, Sheila Carter spirals into panic. She sees Deacon forming a stronger-than-normal connection with Taylor Hayes, and jealousy starts to eat at her. Sheila once hoped Taylor might help patch up her marriage, but now she’s convinced Taylor could become a threat. With Sheila, fear often transforms into dangerous action, hinting she may target Taylor if her insecurity keeps growing.

Elsewhere, Luna Nozawa continues manipulating the justice system from inside her prison cell. It’s revealed—again—that her beatings were orchestrated by her own hand. She staged injuries before, and she seems to be pulling the same trick now, recruiting a cellmate to rough her up just enough to look like a victim. A prison doctor examines her bruises, unaware they’re part of her ploy. Will Spencer arrives for yet another visit, frustrated that Luna keeps using her pregnancy as leverage. Luna insists her unborn baby is endangered every minute she stays behind bars, but Will can see through her emotional manipulations even if he doesn’t want to appear heartless.

While this unfolds, Electra Forrester is quietly absorbing a hard truth. Luna’s pregnancy—especially because the baby is Will’s—means Luna will forever be part of their lives. Even if the Spencers take custody and Luna stays in prison, she still has a lifelong tie to Will. This realization forces Electra to confront how difficult the road ahead will be if she stays with him.

As Thursday hits, Taylor offers Deacon her usual wise counsel. She tells him to trust his heart, though Deacon laughs at the idea—his heart, after all, is what pushed him toward Sheila in the first place. He admits he isn’t sure what direction to take, and his growing gratitude toward Taylor puts him in increasingly complicated emotional territory.

The week wraps up with Liam confessing to Katie that he still wants a future with Hope and Beth. Meanwhile, Deacon tries convincing Hope not to give up on Liam. Hope is hesitant, unsure whether reconciliation is the right path, even though actor Scott Clifton confirmed in a recent interview that Hope and Liam are indeed being written back together.

Bill Spencer, on the other hand, sharpens his suspicions. He becomes increasingly convinced that Luna staged her injuries to manipulate the system, especially after noticing the bruises resemble her previous “attack.” Bill knows Luna fooled him before, and he’s determined not to fall for the same trap again.

Heading into the week of October 27–31—marked as the beginning of Sweeps—Steffy’s fear reaches a dangerous peak. She’s convinced Luna may find a way out of prison and come after her again. With Katie and Bill possibly advocating for house arrest due to the pregnancy, the threat feels even more immediate. On top of that, Dee’s new relationship with Remy could jeopardize his position at Forrester once the truth about Remy and Electra comes out.

The tension deepens when Deacon’s flirtations escalate into something more volatile. A seemingly innocent moment turns into a steamy tease, sparking a connection that could explode into a full-blown scandal. Whoever is on the receiving end of Deacon’s attention remains a mystery, but the fallout could reshape multiple relationships—including Ridge’s marriage, Hope’s emotional stability, and Sheila’s already fragile sanity.

Steffy’s storyline shifts into psychological thriller territory. Haunted by past trauma, she becomes hyper-aware of every sound and shadow. Her instincts insist danger is circling, and she can’t shake the fear that someone from her past is about to strike again. Finn tries to comfort her, but his attempts only widen the emotional gap between them. Even Ridge begins noticing worrying patterns linking Steffy’s reactions to deeper threats surrounding the family and their business.

By the end of the week, Los Angeles feels like a city ready to snap. Seduction, paranoia, betrayal, and fear collide, promising a chaotic storm of revelations in the days ahead.
