Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for December 29 – Jan 2, 2025 expect Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) being irritating. Nothing new there. And Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) lighting a fire.
As we always do on Early Edition Day, we talk about what’s ahead the rest of this week, then dive into what’s coming next week.
Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Brooke Gets a Special Surprise
On Wednesday, December 24th, we’ve got Christmas Eve in real life. On the show, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) gets a special present from Ridge before they join the rest of the family at Eric Forrester‘s (John McCook) for the Christmas Eve party. Maybe it’s a wedding ring, maybe it’s a new dress, maybe it’s RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman) coming back.
Rumors are flying after this guy Brayan Nicoletti who posed with Ridge and Eric actors Thorsten Kaye and John McCook in a photo at the B&B cast and crew holiday party. Brian is followed by many cast members from Bold and he follows them back. So, we’ll keep an eye out on this. There is no official casting news on this, but if there is, we will drop that tidbit here. Over at Eric and Donna Logan‘s (Jennifer Gareis), the gang is all together.
Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) bring their kids, Kelly Spencer (Sophia Paras McKinlay) and Hayes Forrester (Bryan Garlick), over. Donna and Eric are dressed up as Santa and Mrs. Claus. We’ve got Brooke and Ridge there. We’ve got Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) joining the Forrester Christmas Eve shindig and Carter smooching Daphne under the mistletoe. They’re getting closer. They’re heating up. Flames should ignite by New Year’s Eve.
Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: The Forresters Celebrate
The Forresters enjoy time with Eric. I can’t wait to see Ridge on his lap while he’s dressed as Santa. And then Eric’s playing the piano, so they’re all singing. Plus, Eric had one of his new design sketches made into an actual gown that he says is his best ever. He plans to show it to everybody. I wonder if he’s going to have Donna wear it or if he’s going to present it in some other way. The reveal gets sidetracked because we have more family drama coming for the Forresters very soon.
B&B Christmas Preemption and A Look Back
On Thursday, December 25th, Christmas Day, we are going to get a repeat of Bold and the Beautiful’s Christmas 2024 when Ridge and Brooke were split up. Ridge was with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) and Brooke was the CEO of Forrester Creations during the Carter and Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) coup.
Brooke was vowing to have Ridge back by Christmas 2025 and mission accomplished. No word where Taylor is spending Christmas 2025. I’m guessing not at the Forresters as a third wheel to Ridge and Brooke. I’d like to see her with Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan). Maybe she’ll catch up on work at the hospital and he drops in on Taylor at her office.
New Bold and the Beautiful Episode: Surprising Twist Coming
Then on Friday, December 26th, we’re going to wrap up this week with a brand new episode of Bold and the Beautiful. We’ve got Finn and Steffy swinging by the beach house to see Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) and Will Spencer (Crew Morrow), and art teacher Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock) is there, you know, the one who made roadkill out of Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada), which was to everyone’s great relief. It’s just kind of weird to see Finn hanging out with the chick who ran down his daughter.
They are all toasting to the holidays. In what I think is some twist out of left field that can’t be for nothing, Will and Electra invite Dylan to spend the night at the beach house with them. Electra is saying she wants to spend more time with Dylan, but I just smell some weirdness coming with this whole situation. Either there was something up with her and Luna or Dylan is going to be drawn to Will. You know, whatever pheromone he’s giving off that made Luna so crazy about him, maybe Dylan catches a whiff of it.
Katie’s Fashion House Ignites a Sibling Rivalry on Bold and the Beautiful
Katie Logan (Heather Tom) is still reeling over the idea that she’s got her very own fashion house and she can’t wait. I’m super excited about having two rival fashion houses. That’s something that was great back in the day. Whether it was the Spectras, whether it was the Morones, I loved it. Whether it was Jackie M, you know, and I really want to see Ridge eat crow because he’s been so high and mighty lately. So, I am totally cheering for team Katie (Heather Tom). I’m waiting for Eric to join. More on that the following week.
Things are tense between Katie and Brooke, and Sister Donna gets between them, trying to smooth things over. Brooke claims she’s being supportive of Katie while actually kind of being snarky about her not being up to the task of starting her own fashion house. This should be when we see Brooke and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) over at Spencer Publications. Bill and Katie are showing off the name and logo of Katie’s new fashion house, and Brooke’s reaction is this face that looks like she smelled something rotten. So, I think things might get pretty messy fast during this meeting. Bill and Ridge aren’t fans of each other, and we should see some peacocking.
New Year’s Spoilers: Katie’s Ambition and Brooke’s Doubts on B&B
For December 29th through January 2nd, we have another preemption this week, but only one as far as we know, only on New Year’s Day. CBS Daytime is airing a repeat of Italy from earlier in 2025. That was the one where Ridge and Brooke were over there doing that fashion shoot. Nick was over there planning to propose to Brooke after having zero dates with her. And Eric was there trying to keep Nick away from Brooke and pushing Ridge to dump Taylor and get back with Brooke.
Despite Ridge and Brooke doubting her ability to succeed, we’re going to see Katie happily embracing the challenge of setting up her fashion house next week. Bill’s going to be lighting a fire under Katie and cheerleading her, being her hype man, and encouraging her as she starts hiring people and making all her plans. Brooke is fretting over Katie leaving Forrester Creations. Brooke seems to really doubt that her little sister Katie is capable of this, which you know is pretty offensive.
Eric Forrester’s Future and A Potential Power Shift
We also have Eric continuing to struggle with being forced into retirement and Donna is very worried about him. Eric did have that brand new dress made that he says is the best design of his life and he said he was going to show it to people. We’ll see if that manifests and if Eric doesn’t get the reaction that he wants from Ridge or if Ridge doesn’t even want to see what Eric’s trying to show him.
I think that’s one more red flag that puts Eric on a path towards working with Katie at this rival fashion house. When she sees this design of Eric’s, Katie is going to love it and she may want to see more designs. I am super excited to see Eric and Katie working together and having a Logan ladies civil war because obviously, Donna will have to side with Eric who’s going to be over there with her sister Katie.
Hope for the Future’s New Direction on Bold and the Beautiful
People are really unsettled by Steffy and Ridge’s actions. Hope may push back and reject the idea of working with Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson). It’s not so bad because he’s going to be working remotely, but I still think Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) won’t like it.
But I get the feeling that Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz) and Thomas may try to shift Hope for the Future away from what Hope’s vision was when she was working with Deke.
She wanted to take it into this urban chic direction, and I don’t think that’s what Thomas and Zende are going to vibe with. Plus, Eric and Donna will encourage Katie. They’re going to be in her corner telling her not to listen to naysayers Ridge and Brooke.
