Here’s the B&B recap of what happened on The Bold and the Beautiful on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.

What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful

In the design office, Hope and Carter discussed Liam’s inoperable brain mass and his options for treatment, or lack thereof. Carter expressed his desire to be the best possible step-dad to Beth, and what he wanted most was for Beth and Hope to spend as much time with Liam as possible before anything else happened.

Hope said she never could’ve imagined a tumor like this would have ever become an issue. Carter thought he would be furious if he were Liam and feel robbed. Hope lamented how selfless Liam was and didn’t deserve it. Carter noted that Bill never appreciated Liam or had his qualities, and Hope agreed. She was grateful that Liam’s great attributes were passed on to their daughter. She hoped that Beth would cherish her memories of Liam, but knew how hard it was going to be for both of them to say goodbye. “For all we know, that final goodbye could be closer than we think,” she cried.

At the beach house, the police and paramedics attended the scene. Ms. Dayton was shocked when she was released and saw the dramatic scene in the classroom. Paramedics conferred with Finn as Steffy begged them to save Liam.

The police tried to understand why Luna was out to get Steffy, but she didn’t want to get into it as she hovered over Liam. She verified the gun and how it was used. Sheila, Luna, and Liam were rushed to the hospital. Dr. Buckingham was shocked to see Liam wheeled in as Finn called out that there were multiple bullet wounds coming in.

The police insisted on knowing Luna’s connection to everyone, so Steffy finally started to tell them. Li walked up and was shocked at what was going on. Steffy cried that Liam was shot and there was so much blood lost. “We can’t lose him!” she gasped to Li.

Steffy told Li the whole story as Finn stood by. Li rushed in to help with surgery. Steffy told Finn that she knew Luna was his daughter, but if she survived and Luna didn’t, she didn’t know what she would do.

Finn told Dr. Buckingham he didn’t want to tend to Sheila and for her to do it, while he went to operate on Liam. She operated on Sheila’s foot but asked to be updated on Liam throughout the procedure and told a nurse to contact Deacon. Then, she put Sheila under anesthetic and began to operate.

In another room, Li and Bridget operated on Luna. She lost a lot of blood but they had a hard time finding the bullet in the side of her abdomen. Bridget worried that Luna would bleed out, but Li said she refused to let her niece die that way.

In the waiting room, the policeman tried to comfort Steffy that Liam had too much to live for to die. She told him she’d be the one on the operating table if not for Liam. A nurse walked by, and Steffy stopped her. She told her that she needed to go to the operating room and let Liam know that she was there for him, but the nurse declined her request. She told Steffy that the only people who could be in the room were the operation team. Steffy said she knew that but asked again anyway. The nurse relented that she couldn’t be in the room, but she could watch through the observation window.

Steffy watched as Finn operated on Liam. On an X-ray, Finn could see the bullet behind his ribcage, near Liam’s heart. Steffy called Hope and told her what happened, and said to come to University Hospital right away. Hope and Carter rushed out of Forrester immediately.

Dr. Buckingham finished stitching up Sheila’s foot after removing the bullet, as a nurse told her that Sheila’s husband had been contacted and was on his way. Sheila remained unconscious as Grace noted that her operation was easy, but Liam and Luna could go either way.

In Luna’s operating room, Bridget and Li had her stabilized as Li noted how troubled Luna was. Bridget asked if anyone had called Luna’s mother, but Li said she wanted to be the one to tell Penelope. Just then, there was another bleeder. A nurse told them that Luna’s blood pressure was dropping and they were losing her. “Luna!” Li yelled.
