On the September 30 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Brooke Logan pushes her daughter Hope to make a decision between two loves — but Hope’s heart is torn, and next week promises even more drama. Below, we break down all the key moments and preview what’s ahead from October 1 to 10.
Recap: “Brooke Urges Hope to Choose” (Sept. 30, 2025)
In the Forrester design office, Ridge admires fabric swatches while Margot announces that everything is ready. Ridge and Eric join others in the showroom to watch models sashaying down the runway, giving thumbs up to new silhouettes and perfumes. Daphne, designing a new scent for each collection, beams at the reception.
Meanwhile, Brooke wonders aloud where Hope is. Carter replies that Hope is spending time with Liam and their daughter Beth — and hints he’s planning something special for Hope.
At Brooke’s, Beth and Liam play hide‑and‑seek with Hope. After Beth runs off, Hope tells Liam she’s “glad we didn’t lose you.” Liam smiles, reminds her they are family, and Beth later jokes that Kelly must have warned her about Liam’s dancing.
Beth confides she likes Carter but doesn’t want her mother to marry him — she wants her back with Liam.
In the showroom, Brooke tells Ridge that things are back to how they “are supposed to be.” They kiss. Hope interrupts and says she’s genuinely happy for them, admitting Ridge brings her mom joy.
After Ridge leaves, Brooke notices Hope is gone. Hope confesses, “It has everything to do with Carter.” She says she knows Carter loves her and wants her to be happy — but feels rushed. Brooke counters, “Two men love her and she loves two men — she has to choose.”
Meanwhile, Carter meets Ridge in his office. The numbers on their fashion line (HFTF) are strong. Carter says it’s time to bring HFTF back, noting that people are still hashtagging HFTF. Ridge gives him the floor to make his pitch.
Hope and Steffy have made peace; Forrester needs the HFTF line — and so does Hope.
Preview: What to Expect October 1–10, 2025
As October begins, Hope faces a heart‑wrenching choice. She remains torn between the stability and history she shares with Liam and Carter’s devotion. She is expected to lean on Brooke as a confidant to sort out her “torn heart.”
The daddy‑daughter dance with Liam and Beth is a pivotal moment: it may clarify where Hope’s loyalties truly lie.
Elsewhere, Taylor and Deacon may grow unexpectedly close. After long drama involving Luna and Sheila, spoilers suggest Taylor will give Deacon advice — which threatens his marriage to Sheila.
The biggest bombshell: Luna’s survival. Her reappearance will shock Ridge, Brooke, and Bill, all of whom have been implicated in keeping her hidden. Bill may face backlash if it’s revealed he suppressed info or didn’t report Luna’s whereabouts to law enforcement.
Finn will likely be among the first to learn that Luna is alive. He may get updates from Poppy and bring Steffy into the loop. Whether Steffy returns to Los Angeles and how she reacts remains to be seen.
A looming paternity test promises to further destabilize relationships: Luna remains convinced Will is the father of her baby. If that’s confirmed, Will must adjust to his new reality.
Ridge, Brooke, and Bill will no doubt have to face the consequences of keeping Luna’s secret.

Analysis: The Stakes Behind Hope’s Decision
Brooke’s push for Hope to make a definitive choice underscores a classic soap‑opera dilemma: safety or passion. Hope’s hesitation, calling it “commitment phobia,” provides narrative tension.
The reintroduction of Luna is a narrative device with high stakes. It threatens to upend all existing romantic dynamics, not least because of the potential paternity test involving Will.
Carter’s drive to revive HFTF (the line still trending with fans) positions him as a professional rival and romantic contender.
Taylor’s possible alliance with Deacon raises tension inside Sheila’s marriage. Intertwining business, romance, and secrets is typical of The Bold and the Beautiful’s DNA.

“Bold and Beautiful recap” on September 30 sets the stage for a gripping October. Brooke’s insistence that Hope select between love interests explodes Hope’s inner turmoil. As Luna’s survival comes to light, relationships across Los Angeles will tremble.
Next week, keep an eye on Hope’s decision at the daddy‑daughter dance, the revelation of Luna’s fate, and shifting loyalties in the Spencer, Forrester, and Finnegan families. The question remains: will Hope choose Liam or Carter — or risk losing them both?
