Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, the drama in Los Angeles reaches explosive new levels as love, loyalty, and family ties collide. Hope Logan finally gets the romantic wedding she’s dreamed of—but her big day unfolds under the shadow of chaos brewing inside the Forrester family. And at the center of the storm is Ridge, whose latest decision threatens to tear the family—and the company—apart.

Let’s start with the major bombshell: Ridge is still determined to force Eric into retirement, insisting this is the only way to protect his father’s health. But what Ridge calls love and responsibility, others see as cold disrespect. Eric may have survived a medical crisis, but his passion for designing is stronger than ever, and Donna even reveals he’s been sketching late into the night, bursting with inspiration. Instead of celebrating that, Ridge shuts him down and pushes the narrative that Eric’s “final collection” truly was his final bow.

This week ends with Eric livid—furious that Ridge is making decisions about his life without him. And next week, that fury only deepens. Eric confronts Ridge, accusing him of ignoring everything he says, and Ridge doubles down, leaving no room for negotiation. Eric is to retire. End of discussion. But Eric fires back with one of the biggest declarations we’ve heard in months: he will not be pushed out, not by Ridge, not by anyone.

Fans may even see Eric consider a shocking counterattack—perhaps starting a rival fashion house to prove he’s not done yet.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, Sheila Carter is spiraling. Deacon opens up to Taylor during a therapy session, admitting he fears Hope and Deacon Jr. will never accept Sheila. Taylor—never one to mince words—agrees. And Sheila only makes things worse. After learning that she’s banned from Hope and Liam’s wedding, she barges into Taylor’s office again, demanding validation. Taylor tries to talk sense into her, warning that crashing the wedding would be utterly unhinged, but Sheila snaps, slamming a vase and barking, “You think I’m crazy?”

The answer, of course, is obvious to everyone.

Yet Sheila refuses to accept reality. Despite being uninvited by the bride and groom—and explicitly banned by young Beth herself—Sheila is already plotting. Whether she’ll defy everyone and show up anyway is a ticking time bomb.

Meanwhile, Hope and Liam move forward with their wedding, surrounded by family. Deacon proudly walks his daughter down the aisle, savoring a moment he never thought he’d get. Beth welcomes the guests, and a beloved surprise arrives—Douglas is back from Paris. But the real question is whether Thomas brought him to town… and whether Thomas himself is lurking nearby as his son attends Hope’s big day.

As the Logans, Spencers, and Forresters take their seats, all eyes will be watching the door, wondering if Sheila will storm in dressed like a dark queen ready to ignite chaos.

Between Ridge’s power play and Sheila’s unraveling, Hope’s wedding week promises romance, disaster, and classic B&B fireworks.
