The Bold and the Beautiful what-to-watch moments for Friday, August 8th: Grace's confession rocks Liam and Hope's world

Here are The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers and what-to-watch moments for Friday, August 8th, 2025.

What to expect on The Bold and the Beautiful

A stunning betrayal has shaken fake L.A. to its core. In a shocking twist, Liam (Scott Clifton) and Hope (Annika Noelle) are reeling from a confession that changes everything they thought they knew. For weeks, they have been dealing with Liam's "inoperable" brain tumor, a crisis that brought them closer and even seemed to repair the rift between Hope and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). But now, the truth is coming to light, and it’s more sinister than a medical condition.

Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech), the very person they trusted with Liam's life, has just made a shocking admission. Liam's illness was a lie—a scheme created to get a massive sum of money from his father, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont). Liam never had a brain tumor. All the fear, tears, and emotional turmoil were for nothing.

The fallout from Grace's deceit is set to send shockwaves through the Forrester and Logan families. Not only is Liam left to grapple with the fact that his near-death experience was a hoax, but Hope must confront the reality of how her own emotions were manipulated. Will this monumental lie bring Liam and Hope closer? With Grace's confession hanging in the air, the drama on The Bold and the Beautiful is just beginning. In Friday’s episode, Liam and Hope are shocked by what Grace begins to tell them.

Meanwhile, in Italy

Elsewhere, in Naples, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) was about to enjoy a romantic harbor cruise in the idyllic waters off the coast of Italy with Nick Marone (Jack Wagner). After being told to take the boat out and that it was all ready to go, Nick and Brooke ventured out on what was supposed to be a romantic proposal amidst the stunning backdrop of one of the most beautiful places on earth. A steering control issue almost caused a collision with another boat, and Brooke was thrown off the ship into the water. Luckily, Ridge raced to rescue Brooke, diving into the sea and swimming to her. This act of heroism might be just what was needed to make Brooke realize she doesn't love Nick, but does Ridge really want to throw away what he has with Taylor to jump back on the circuit — or was he caught up in the heat of the moment?
