The next two weeks on The Bold and the Beautiful promise emotional blowups, secret resentments, awkward reunions, and a wedding that will test nearly every character involved. From December 8th through the 19th, Forrester Creations, the Logan family, and even Sheila Carter find themselves right in the middle of shifting alliances and explosive tension.

ERIC VS. RIDGE: THE FIGHT NO ONE CAN STOP

The week opens with Carter trying to see things from Eric’s perspective—something Ridge refuses to do. With Daphne horrified by how disrespectful it looks to force Eric into retirement, Carter begins subtly pushing back. Across the office, Eric’s emotions boil over as Ridge stubbornly insists he alone knows what’s best for his father. Even Donna can barely hold her frustration inside.

The confrontation grows sharp and painful as Eric begs Ridge to actually listen, while Ridge repeats that he is listening—he just refuses to agree. Eric’s final warning that he “won’t be put out to pasture” sends him and Donna storming out, leaving Ridge once again believing he’s the smartest man in the room.

But things don’t end there. Brooke soon confronts Ridge, asking whether he regrets strong-arming Eric into stepping down. Ridge, predictably, doubles down, insisting Eric’s age and health make leadership impossible. What Ridge refuses to acknowledge is that Eric and Steffy together own 75% of the company—and unless Steffy supports her grandfather, Eric’s hands are tied.

DEACON’S DILEMMA & SHEILA’S SPIRAL

Meanwhile, Deacon’s world takes its own hit when he finally tells Sheila she’s not invited to Hope and Liam’s wedding. Sheila is devastated and furious, demanding to know why he didn’t fight harder. Deacon, exhausted by her fantasies of acceptance, knows trouble is brewing.

Sheila lashes out, eventually storming into Taylor’s office at the hospital, wanting sympathy. Instead, Taylor gives her a warning: don’t even think about crashing the wedding. Sheila’s temper snaps—because nothing enrages her more than being told she’s not part of the family she believes should love her.

Deacon, trying to stay focused for Hope’s big moment, struggles under Sheila’s growing resentment. Their marriage already looks fragile—and Taylor might be the only person who can help him make sense of it.

THE WEDDING EVENT OF THE YEAR

From December 10th through 12th, the show centers on Hope and Liam’s three-episode wedding extravaganza. The Logan women gather to help Hope get ready. Deacon proudly takes his place as father of the bride. Douglas returns from Paris, joining Beth and Kelly for the biggest ceremony the show has seen in years.

But even as vows are exchanged, tension ripples beneath the surface. Sheila is alone, angry, and unpredictable—leaving viewers wondering if she’ll stay away or make a disastrous entrance.

AFTERMATH & NEW DECISIONS

As the celebration continues into the next week, Katie faces a major career decision, and Deacon begins leaning more heavily on Taylor as Sheila’s anger threatens their marriage. Eric and Ridge remain at a standstill, and Eric’s next move may change Forrester Creations forever. Douglas departs again, though Thomas’s brief return hints that more drama could be coming before Christmas.
