The Bold and the Beautiful: [Spoiler Alert] Is 2026 the Year the Logans Finally Lose It? 

On The Bold and the Beautiful, we are never far from another drama or chaotic moment. Let's have a look at the crystal ball and have a guess at what's to come in 2026 for fake L.A.

New Year Old Habits on The Bold and the Beautiful

If you thought 2025 was a rollercoaster of questionable fashion choices and even more questionable paternity tests, buckle up. As we limp toward the finish line of another year in Los Angeles, the drama at Forrester Creations is thicker than the plot armor protecting Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown).

Let’s look at where we stand. Luna Nozawa (ex Lisa Yamada) is dead (allegedly), and while Steffy (Jaqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) are busy patting themselves on the back for surviving yet another "crisis," the real story is the absolute mess brewing at Spencer Publications. Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is on a rampage—again. He’s poaching Katie (Heather Tom), who is rightfully sick of being the third wheel at Forrester while Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) take another walk down memory lane. Can you blame her? If my sister got promoted over me that many times, I’d defect to the competition, too.

Meanwhile, Hope (Annika Noelle) and Liam (Scott Clifton) have just had their wedding. In December. On a soap opera. Do they want a disaster? Because that is how you get a disaster. With Thomas Forrester rumored to return just in time for the holidays, I’m predicting fewer "I do's" and more "I don't think so's."

As we head into 2026, here is the drama we need to prepare for.

The Wedding Crasher from Paris

Let's be real. Thomas (Mathew Atkinson) isn’t coming back from Paris to hand out croissants. If Hope thinks she can marry Liam without her "design muse" having a psychotic break in the aisle, she’s delusional. Expect Thomas to object, not with words, but with a mannequin that looks suspiciously like Hope.

The Battle for Spencer Publications

Bill isn't just offering Katie a job; he’s offering her a throne. In 2026, look for a full-scale corporate war. Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) will likely flip sides (again), and Liam will be too busy waffling between women to notice his dad is turning the family business into a weapon against the Forresters.

Eric’s Final Bow?

The sudden health scare for Eric Forrester (John McCook) feels different this time. Donna (Jennifer Gareis) blindsiding Brooke with news is a bad omen. We might be looking at a major power vacuum at Forrester Creations in early 2026. If Eric steps down—or worse—the fight for the CEO chair will make Game of Thrones look like a tea party.

Sheila’s "Rehabilitation" Implodes

Sheila has been too quiet. Spiraling over Luna’s death is just the appetizer. When Deacon (Sean Kanan) inevitably gets too close to Taylor (Rebecca Budig) (their chemistry is undeniable, admit it), Sheila will burn Il Giardino to the ground. Mark my words: a pizza oven will be involved in a crime scene by February.

The Steffy-Hope feud 2.0

With Hope marrying Liam, Steffy will "concerned ex-wife" her way right back into their marriage. Expect Kelly (Sophia Paras McKinlay) to be used as a pawn in a custody skirmish that masks the fact that these two women simply cannot exist in the same zip code without fighting over a Spencer man.
