Here is your The Bold and the Beautiful recap for Tuesday, May 6, 2025, when Liam and Hope reminisced about the past.

What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful

Steffy assured Liam that she wasn't giving up on a miracle for him. "I can't let you die," she cried. Liam grew philosophical and wondered if his tumor had a deeper meaning.

"Maybe my miracle is not about living a longer life. It's about having a lasting impact. Hope and you. If I could find a way to usher in peace between you two before my time's up, that would be my miracle," Liam said. He just wanted to see Hope and Steffy get along.

"I can't believe you're thinking about Hope and me right now. You need to be focusing on other things, like your health, Liam," Steffy insisted.

Liam reminded Steffy that he was dying. "Using whatever time I have left to help. That's what I want to do. That's what I need to do if I'm going to be good to go," Liam said, before feeling dizzy and nearly passing out.

Finn walked in to help Steffy steady Liam. Once Liam was sitting, he promised Finn he would make an appointment with Grace Buckingham. Finn and Steffy once again told Liam that nobody was giving up on him, but Liam said they needed to be realistic.

Liam then informed Finn that his goal was to make sure that Steffy and Hope mend fences before he dies. He had already ordered a ride share to take him to see Hope and "lay some of the groundwork." That prompted Steffy to beg Liam to tell Hope the truth about his condition.

After Liam left, Steffy lamented to Finn how hard this all was. Dr. Encouragement and Positivity reminded Steffy that it was just going to get harder. "I love the relationship you have with him," Finn told his wife about her ex-husband. Steffy agreed they were more than co-parents.

"We have so much history. So many ups and downs. But the one thing I never questioned was his goodness. Clearly, that goodness is apparent right now," Steffy said.

Hope told Carter that she knew he would never intentionally break her heart again. Carter insisted that his actions would prove his love and devotion. "Just don't give up on us. Please," Carter begged. Just then, Deaco walked in. He was annoyed when he saw Carter and reminded Carter that he had told him to stay away from his daughter.

Carter left, but not before telling Hope that he wasn't giving up on them. "I still believe in our future," he said.

Once Carter was gone, Hope thanked Deacon for looking out for her, but she assured him she could take care of herself. "Are you really going to give this guy another chance?" Deacon asked. "This guy abandoned you. He chose Ridge over you."

A knock on the door interrupted Deacon's thoughts. Hope was surprised to see Liam standing there and invited him in. "If you're looking for long-term happiness, it might be closer than you think," Deacon said before walking out the door. Liam gave Deacon a look and told him that it's been a long time since he and Hope were together.

Deacon confirmed that Liam wasn't seeing anyone, so he went into matchmaking mode. "Dude, you're not getting any younger. And neither are you," he said, looking at a mortified Hope. Deacon finally left Hope and Liam alone so Hope could hear how philosophical Liam was getting.

"I feel really blessed to have you in my life all this time," he said. Hope agreed they were blessed they had Beth. "She knows that you are always there for her and that she can count on you," Hope said.

Liam thanked Hope for creating such a loving environment for Beth. Hope could tell something seemed off when Liam suddenly got quiet and asked what was going on. Liam claimed he was just doing some soul-searching and looking at the world differently.

"There's nobody I appreciate more than you. You know that," Liam said. He recalled being in Catalina, believing they lost Beth, and then, nearly a year later, when Liam told Hope that Beth was alive. "Now, she's a little girl and she's healthy and she's happy. And she's smart like her mom," Liam said as tears welled in his eyes.

Hope pointed out that they still get to share Beth's future milestones, but that just made Liam choke up more. Hope again asked what was wrong. Liam remembered Steffy telling him that Hope needed to know, but couldn't get the words out.

In Eric's office, Will was impressed with Electra's jewelry creations again as they flirted like usual. Daphne snuck in on them kissing. She asked if they had seen Carter and was disappointed to hear he wasn't even in the building.

"Maybe he's with Hope," Electra innocently said. "Not that she's not with the company, he must be looking for excuses to visit her all day. And we all know how much they care about each other."

When Daphne complimented Electra's design, she admitted she created it with Hope For The Future in mind. "Forrester is better without Hope. I'd say Carter is, too," Daphne said just as Carter appeared at the door. Daphne turned around to see Carter standing there.

Will and Electra took off to the design office, where Electra commented that Daphne seemed to have a thing for Carter.

Back in Eric's office, Daphne continued trying to convince Carter to forget about Hope once and for all, as she always does. "Forget about Hope, Carter. Start fresh with the woman standing right in front of you," she practically demanded.
