Despite the personal and professional upheaval in the lives of its characters, The Bold and the Beautiful promises some Christmas magic and love when the show’s holiday episodes air next week.
CBS released some spoilers for upcoming episodes as the show approaches the new year.
The episode that airs Wednesday, December 24th will focus on multiple couples and family togetherness, as The Bold and the Beautful will, according to the networks, “keep the holiday magic alive.”
The Bold and the Beautiful has plenty of family drama this Christmas
The centerpiece will be Eric’s (John McCook) abrupt retirement. According to CBS: “Despite having to come to terms with his retirement, Eric and Donna (Jennifer Gareis) manage to pull off a festive surprise.”
Before joining the rest of the family for the festivities, “Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) gives Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) a special gift.”
A newer couple will also be in the spotlight on The Bold and the Beautiful as Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) have recently gotten back together. According to the network, the lawyer and perfume expert will “share a sweet moment under the mistletoe.”
The family magic will also include Steffy (Jacqueline McInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan), their son Hayes (Bryan David Garlick), and Steffy’s daughter/Finn’s stepdaughter Kelly (Sophia Paras). No word if Kelly’s dad, Liam (Scott Clifton), and his new (again) bride, Hope (Annika Noelle) will take part in the holiday.
CBS promises that “In classic Forrester tradition, the group closes out the holiday by gathering around the piano and singing a Christmas carol.” Even though Eric is in crisis, it seems likely that he will be manning the keys once again in a time-honored B&B tradition.
CBS also announced which past episodes will air in The Bold and the Beautiful time slot when new episodes are pre-empted for the holidays.
On Christmas Day, Thursday, December 25th, B&B re-airs the Christmas episode from 2024 where challenges force the Forresters and Logans to celebrate separately.
At the time, the families were split over Carter’s attempt to take over Forrester Creations. He and Hope were a couple at the time, and Ridge was back together with Taylor after breaking up with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). Notable guests included Bridget (Ashley Jones) and Pam (Alley Mills), helping ring in Christmas and support their friends and families.
