Monday, April 14, 2025: Today on The Bold and the Beautiful, Electra asks Ivy's advice, Brooke and Taylor butt heads, and Daphne puts the moves on Carter again.
At Forrester, Carter and Brooke reflect that it’s been a difficult time for them both, losing the ones they love. Daphne eavesdrops as Carter vows not to give up on Hope.
Office Drama
Daphne joins Taylor in the design office, and they go over Brooke waiting for Ridge in her lingerie. Daphne can see where Hope gets her lack of morals. She hopes she can convince Carter to move on from her. Taylor muses, “Hopefully to you.” Daphne imagines visiting Paris with Carter by her side. She decides she should go check on him and tells Taylor she’s going to be the next woman in his life.
In the office, Carter asks Brooke if she thinks he has a chance at getting Hope back. She goes over what he’s done to her, including kissing Daphne. Carter admits there’s something about Daphne, but she kissed him. He wants to find a way to remind Hope how much he still loves her. Brooke tells him there’s something about Daphne she doesn’t trust, but she’s not sure she can put in a good word for him with Hope right now given their own relationship.
She starts complaining about Ridge being detached at work and Steffy not being very nice. She feels completely alone and isolated at Forrester. At home, Hope barely talks to her. Carter assures her that love always finds a way. Daphne listens at the door as he says he loves Hope. She walks in and says, “Oh, I’m sorry. Am I interrupting?” Brooke makes noises about her scent and excuses herself. Daphne teases Carter that finding him with Brooke was disappointing… she was hoping to find him half-naked again. She offers to help him out of his shirt, “And you can help with mine.” Carter shuffles from one foot to the other. She tells him she wants to help him forget about Hope. “You need to look to your future, Carter.”
Brooke joins Taylor in the design office, and the psychiatrist needles that she’s surprised to see her dressed and not roaming the halls in lingerie looking for Ridge. Brooke jabs her back, asking if she doesn’t have her own office. She guesses Taylor’s trying to keep an eye on her. Is paranoia healthy? Taylor calls Brooke about the lingerie. “Ridge has moved on, Brooke, and I suggest you do the same. He doesn’t need the distraction. He and Eric have been working on the couture line for the upcoming fashion show. If you really insist that you have a man in your life…?” Brooke intones, “Ridge is the only man in my life. We always come back to each other… and you know that.”

Luna Works Her Wiles
In the wardrobe room, Luna takes off her pizza delivery boy disguise and reveals herself to Will. He asks what she’s doing there, and informs her he didn’t order a pizza… especially one with pineapple. Luna assures him she’ll be gone soon, but she’s been thinking about something. “Wouldn’t you like to know what it is?” she asks. Will balks, but she says it’s about his father. She and Bill share some things. Will knows about the troubled childhood angle. Lots of people have those and don’t go around killing people. Luna says she’s realized the person she has the most in common with is him. Will warns he won’t buy this, not like his father.

Undeterred, Luan croons that she understands having a selfish and neglectful parent like Bill. “We’re not as different as you might think.” Will tells her she doesn’t know anything about him. Luna reads people well and sees how he looks at people. The only way he looks at her is as dangerous. Luna admits she overheard him and his girlfriend. Will’s not shocked she was eavesdropping. She offers to help him with his “frustrations.” Will says he will wait until Electra’s ready. Luna moves close and tells him she’s there for anything, anytime, anywhere. She paws at the gowns and Will tells her she has to go. Luna emerges from behind the racks in her underwear and asks, “So, what should I try on first?”
At the Forrester mansion, Ivy and Electra are working, but the younger Forrester is distracted. Ivy asks if something happened with Will. Electra’s not sure how to answer that. She explains that her boyfriend wants more than she wants to give him. She assures Ivy that Will’s not pressuring her; they love each other. She flashes to Will saving her from Remy. “He’s my hero.” It’s not like she doesn’t want to be with him; she just wants to wait until she’s ready. She hopes Will can wait too. Ivy asks why she’s hesitating. Electra wants it to mean something. “Do you think I’m making a mistake?” Ivy reassures her. Sex can be wonderful, but unless you’re ready, it could be a bad experience. Electra just hopes Will understands. Ivy’s proud of her for staying true to herself and is sure Will respects that. “You’re the girl that Will wants.”

Poppy and Sheila Square Off
At Il Giardino, Poppy walks up to Sheila at the bar and says, “I got your message. I am here, but I’m not sure why.” Sheila thought they should talk about her daughter. “My granddaughter, Luna.” Poppy says, “So, you know.” Sheila replies, “About the secret you kept from me, and more importantly, from my son, Finn, for all these years?”
Sheila tells Poppy she robbed her son of a relationship with her father and kept her from her family. Poppy shrugs, “I didn’t know.” Sheila thinks she did, and didn’t want to admit it. Poppy says she’s right. She knew, but didn’t want to believe it. Luna was her daughter, and they didn’t need anyone else. Sheila scoffs that she did a helluva job… she raised a double-murder. Poppy snarks, “Clearly, she got that from your side of the family.” Sheila retorts, “At least I didn’t go fishing in my own pond.” She slept with her sister’s son. “You’re in no position to judge.” Looking around, Sheila asks, “Do you see any angels in here? Because I don’t.” Poppy says, “How dare a sicko like you judge me? No wonder why Luna turned out the way she did; she has your blood coursing through her veins.” She’s done with all of them. Poppy doesn’t want to see Luna, and warns Sheila to stay away from her. Sheila moves close and asks if she’s threatening her. She grits, “Cause I will snap you like a twig.”

Poppy asks, “So, now who’s making threats?” She tells Sheila two can play her little game… she doesn’t know who she’s dealing with. Sheila knows who she’s dealing with… a drug addict, a sex addict, “Mother of the yea…” Poppy cuts her off with a slap across the face. Sheila reels. Then she laughs, and fixes Poppy with a menacing look.
