Here is your The Bold and the Beautiful recap for Wednesday, April 16, 2025, when Liam hoped to be a better man.
What happened on The Bold and the Beautiful

Steffy and Finn started their morning with some passionate kisses in their living room. Steffy was grateful to Finn for helping ease her mind about Liam. He promised to check in on Liam as soon as she got to work, but Steffy wanted to join Finn. "He's not out of the woods with a brain injury like that. Liam's condition is still dangerous," Steffy said.
Steffy still blamed Bill for what happened, although Finn was sure the fight wasn't on purpose. "Bill always pushes his kids to be tough. But his thoughtless behavior? That has consequences, Finn," Steffy declared. Finn once again reminded Steffy that Liam was still alive thanks to her.
At the hospital, Liam told Grace that the neuro team was happy with his progress. Liam wanted to get sprung from the place so he could see his daughters. He was surprised when he saw Bridget walk in. Bridget was just as surprised to see that Liam was her patient.
Grace explained what happened to Liam to a stunned Bridget. She was surprised Hope hadn't called and told her about Liam's surgery, and more shocked when Liam told her that Hope didn't even know. He asked Bridget not to tell anyone. Steffy and Finn soon arrived right in time for Liam to tell Bridget that he owed Steffy his life.
Bridget still thought that Liam should tell his family what was going on, but Liam wouldn't budge. "They shouldn't have this on their shoulders. Nobody can know that I'm here," he said.
All Liam wanted was to get back to his girls and be at the daddy-daughter dance with Kelly. Steffy reminded Liam that his health came first, but he insisted that the dance came first. He was going to give his daughter a magical night no matter what. The whole ordeal has made Liam want to be a better person. "It's a second chance. A chance to put love first," he said.
Deacon stopped by Brooke's place to see Hope, where she lamented all the things that had recently gone wrong in her life. Hope was also still smarting that Brooke remained loyal to the Forresters. "I find it upsetting that after everything that Ridge has done, Mom continues to take his side over me," Hope complained.
Deacon gave Hope a pep talk, telling her how much she still had going for her, including an adorable little girl and an awesome dad. "My daughter is not meant to stay on the sidelines of life. Carter is a fool to turn his back on you," Deacon said.
The subject turned to Liam, with Deacon surprisingly singing his former son-in-law's praises. "I know Liam hurt you with all the back and forth with Steffy, but deep down, I really believe the guy's a good man," Deacon said. Hope thought that she and Liam were better as co-parents than spouses.
Hope realized she hadn't heard from Liam in a few days, which was unusual. "I'm starting to worry," she told Deacon.
In the Forrester Creations design office, Electra told Will how attracted she was to him, but she also knew that Luna was after Will. "Luna's the last thing on my mind," Will told Electra. She was still amazed that Luna managed to sneak into FC in a horrible disguise.
Will assured Electra of his love and that Luna meant nothing to him. "I love and respect the kind of relationship we have," Will said. Will also wanted to show Electra how he felt. "You're beautiful, sexy, and cool, and I want to be alone with you," Will added.
"We will have that time alone together, and it'll be amazing, just not today," Electra said, disappointing Will. She insisted to Will that she wasn't rejecting him. Will understood that Electra wasn't ready for more.
Luna sat with Sheila at the Il Giardano bar discussing Luna's quest to snag Will. Luna was convinced that since Will didn't kick her out right away, he had to be interested in her. "You told me to get his attention, Grandma. I think I did," Luna bragged.
Sheila could only giggle when Luna told her that she stripped down. Luna was impressed with herself. "I kept it sexy but not too revealing. Just a little sneak peek of what he has to look forward to with me," she smiled. "That prim, proper Electra is not giving Will everything he needs," Luna added.
Sheila advised Luna that she had to keep persisting. Luna was ready. "I'm not one to give up. I think that's something you could relate to," Luna said. She soon had a very sexy fantasy about Will.
