Here’s the B&B recap of what happened on The Bold and the Beautiful on Wednesday, July 30, 2025.

What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful

Along the Amalfi coastline, Ridge and Brooke traveled in a speedboat. While “Unforgettable” played, they kept staring at each other and smiling. When they land in Capri, Eric is there to welcome them with Luisa Beccaria, an Italian designer. Brooke and Ridge gushed to her about her fashion talent, and then they went as a group to where they were holding a fashion show.

Ridge and Eric worked backstage getting the outfits ready for the models. Eric said that he didn’t want to bother Ridge the night before, but he wanted him to know that Nick was in town and he saw him and Brooke kissing. He warned that it looked serious, and he needed to make a commitment to Brooke before Nick did.

“I’ve made a commitment…to Taylor,” Ridge reminded his dad. “But look where you are! You’re here. In Italy,” Eric replied. He told Ridge to remind himself about everything he’d been through with Brooke, especially in Italy, and to seize the day and see where it led.

At the marina, Nick’s boat was still under repair, but Tomas had a solution. He got Nick a convertible taxi so he could be driven to Capri…and Brooke. Once he arrived in town, he asked a woman at a shop for directions and headed on foot to the fashion show.

Ridge went to see Brooke in the dressing room, where she was getting her hair and makeup. He told her he knew Nick was in Naples and that Eric saw them together. “I’m sorry the news ruined your almost perfect day, but I’m happy to see Nick. At least he makes an effort,” Brooke teased. Ridge told Brooke that Nick was a snake who only cared about himself. Brooke dismissed him and said they could talk about it after the show.

Outside, the fashion show was held on the terrace and the crowd seemed pleased with the fashions that were shown. But when Brooke came out in the showstopper jumpsuit, they gasped and cheered. Brooke made a triumphant strut past the audience, and blew kisses and waved as the other models watched — as did Ridge. As Brooke walked back, she kept glancing with a knowing look at Ridge, and he smiled.

After the show, the reporters wanted to take photos of Ridge and Brooke together, so he put his arm around her to pose. They called them fashion royalty, but Ridge brought Eric closer and said his dad was truly the fashion king. A reporter asked if it was true that Ridge was engaged to Dr. Taylor Hayes. Instead of saying yes, he looked at Brooke, and they exchanged awkward looks while staring at each other. Eric interjected to say their objective that day was to talk about the fashion and the beauty of Capri. He then thanked Ridge for his work, and thanked Brooke for “her timeless beauty, which was an inspiration to us all.”

Reporters gushed to Brooke and Ridge about their previous fashion show and Brooke as the showstopper in a wedding dress reminiscent of their Portofino wedding. Ridge put his arm around her again for more pictures, but Brooke excused herself. Ridge walked over and asked if she was alright. Brooke lamented about all of her memories of the two of them together and pined that she was not alright. She walked away further, and Ridge followed her out of the press conference.

Eric looked over and saw Nick walk in. He excused himself from the reporters he was talking to and approached Nick at the entrance. Eric told him it was a private event, but Nick said one of the VIPs was going to be happy to see him. “You’re not welcome here,” Eric grimaced.

Outside, Ridge and Brooke stood near the ocean on a patio. He said they should really get back to the luncheon, but Brooke needed more time. Ridge acknowledged that he knew Brooke was having a hard time and it hurt him to see her that way. Brooke suggested she just go away but Ridge stopped her. Brooke told Ridge that the on-again-off-again relationship they keep having was killing her and she couldn’t do it anymore.

Brooke told Ridge that every time she looked at him, she could see how much he loved her, but he was too stupid and stubborn to admit it. “You just want to rip my heart out, throw it on the floor, and stomp on it over and over again! Do you really like seeing me like this?” she asked, frustrated. Ridge said he did not, but Brooke told him it was torture for her and she couldn’t do it anymore. She started to walk away, but Ridge stopped her. He moved in front of her and put his hands on her shoulders. “Stop, stop,” he soothed as he held her arms.

“It’s too hard for me, I have to go,” Brooke told him. “Don’t,” Ridge pleaded. “Don’t? I don’t even know why I came to Italy…to Capri with you. There are just too many beautiful memories. I can’t stay here,” Brooke lamented. “You’re not leaving,” Ridge said as she looked at him, confused.

At Li’s apartment, she put her hand on Luna’s shoulder and told her that she wasn’t going ot let her die. Li gave her medicine in a needle and begged her to come through.

At Il Giardino, Deacon could tell Sheila was down, and she shared that she missed Luna. Sheila thought that she bonded with Li over Luna’s death, but was bothered that she wouldn’t tell her where Luna was. She tried to call Li, but she didn’t answer, which was apparently a pattern since Li had come to the restaurant and extended an olive branch. Sheila just wanted to pay her respects to her granddaughter, and felt that she owed Luna that much.

Li returned to Il Giardino to pick up takeout but this time was curt with Sheila. Sheila asked where Luna’s final burial ground was so she could visit her. Li sighed heavily and gave her some attitude. Sheila claimed she had a right to know where she was, as her grandmother.
