The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for for December 25-29, promise meddling Forresters, a recovering Eric, a surprise return, and much more.

Tuesday, December 26

In Tuesday’s B&B recap, Steffy didn’t like the scene she walked in on.

Now that Eric (John McCook) is awake, he has a long road to recovery ahead of him. It won’t be easy and there will be ups and downs, causing Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) to wonder if Eric’s life will ever be the same again. All they can do is wait.

Yes, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) did this once before and she’s about to do it again. She’s worried about her brother and his relationship with Hope (Annika Noelle). Despite everything she has seen between Hope and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) and how much she has been there for him, she still needs to know if Hope really loves him. In fact, she demands this information as if she is entitled to it.

Wednesday, December 27

In Wednesday’s B&B recap, Steffy made some demands of Hope.

As if we traveled back in time again, Steffy warns Hope of what could happen if she plays with Thomas’s feelings. Yes, he has suffered from mental health problems and could be considered the soap poster child for therapy in 2023, so he knows what he got himself into way back in June. What will Hope tell her sometimes-stepsister?

Ridge remains a hot mess wondering if he did the right thing by letting Finn (Tanner Novlan) save Eric. His father is not recovering quite like he expected, but Finn assures his father-in-law that Eric’s progress is right on track and he’s happy.

Thursday, December 28

In Thursday’s B&B recap, Thomas stunned Hope when he proposed.

It looks like word gets back to Thomas that Steffy has been bothering Hope about her feelings for him, so he takes his sister to task for her actions. That’s when Finn comes to his wife’s defense. She is just worried about her big brother and doesn’t want to see him get hurt. Will Thomas assure her that he will be just fine no matter what happens between him and Hope?

Xander Avant (Adain Bradley) is back on the scene and his first stop is a visit with his new doctor. In fact, he is surprised that Dr. John Finnegan has such strong ties to the Forrester clan.
