Miracles and Family

The Spencers are one family that’s experienced their share of drama this year. Liam (Scott Clifton) faced a dire medical crisis after being diagnosed with a “brain tumor.” However, Liam’s brush with death turned out to be a scam concocted by Grace (Cassandra Creech). Although Liam’s life was turned upside down by Grace’s scheme, one positive is that it reunited him with Hope (Annika Noelle).

Liam wasn’t the only Spencer man who reunited with their true love. Bill (Don Diamont) and Katie (Heather Tom) grew closer as they helped their son Will (Crew Morrow) through a crisis. This motivated Bill to declare his love for Katie, and in a surprising, yet beautiful twist, she agreed to give him a second chance.

Speaking of Will, his life was turned upside down because of Luna (Lisa Yamada). Now that she’s “gone” for good, Will can move forward with his life, which includes Electra (Laneya Grace). Electra has been a huge support to Will throughout the Luna ordeal, and hopefully, they’ll be in it for the long haul.

Destined For Each Other

Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) had yet another breakup this year. A newly single Ridge wasted no time in returning to Taylor (Rebecca Budig), yet it was obvious his heart still belonged to Brooke. Ridge’s realization that Brooke is his “destiny” became evident during their trip to Italy.

Ridge watched in horror as Brooke fled with Nick (Jack Wagner) and fell off his boat. The fashion designer sprang into action by jumping into the ocean to rescue his Logan. Brooke’s near-death experience gave Ridge the wake-up call he needed. Upon returning to Los Angeles, he ended his engagement to Taylor and married Brooke.

As for Taylor, although she was heartbroken by Ridge dumping her, she might have a new man in her life. Taylor’s grown closer to Deacon (Sean Kanan) through their therapy sessions. Although they’re trying to ignore their feelings, it’s apparent that a Teacon romance is on the way.

Back In Business

The Forresters started 2025 with an overhaul of their company. Hope and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) planned a business coup to take over Forrester Creations. Yet, the Forresters, especially Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) wasn’t going down without a fight. With help from Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), Steffy managed to get FC back after Carter had second thoughts.

Now that the Forresters are back in charge, there have been more glamorous fashion shows that fans love. Speaking of Carter and Hope, they thankfully kept their jobs even after their coup. Carter remains FC’s go-to attorney, and Hope has had her fashion line, Hope for the Future, reinstated.
