In the Tuesday, April 18, 2023, full episode recap of CBS’ Bold and the Beautiful, the show is celebrating 9000 episodes of being on the air. It’s Steffy’s birthday and she flashes back through her life with Ridge, Liam and then Finn.
We also have Thursday’s B&B recap where Brooke confided in Taylor, Hope asked for Steffy’s help in getting Liam to believe Thomas has changed, and Steffy wanted Hope to come to her if her brother does anything weird.
At the Forrester CEO office, it’s Steffy’s birthday. Ridge has a cake for her and says he and Zende put together a slideshow for Steffy of her life.
He sets it up on her computer and she’s delighted.
She’s thankful. He wants to spend some father-daughter time together.
“Didn’t we just do that?” She asks. He wanted to go for a walk on the beach and get sushi.
She has plans though and loves him.
They embrace and she tells him not to eat all the cake. She leaves.
Taylor pops up and asks how it went. He says it went well but he’s a little sad.
Taylor says she’s spending the night with Finn.
She’s happy for them since there’s no drama with her husband.
Ridge gets it, but he’s a little pouty.
They eat cake and Taylor loved her breakfast with Steffy but admits it hurts that she wasn’t with her for so many birthdays.
She can’t believe their kid owns a fashion house. Ridge contracts her. “Co-owns.”
They laugh and call their kid ambitious. Ridge remembers dropping her off for kindergarten.
She never looked back while some kids cried.
They flashback to Steffy making appearances all over the world and doing some modeling. “Our wild child,” Taylor says.
They want their kids to be safe as parents and she found that with Finn.
At the Cliff house, Steffy reads a birthday card one of the kids made her.
Liam arrives and since she has a few minutes before Finn arrives home for her birthday plans, she lets him in.
He wishes her a happy birthday and gives her Mr. Quacksworth, that Kelly left behind.
He also knows it’s her birthday and was thinking about the time they’ve spent together.
She smiles. “Cha-cha-cha,” she says with a grin.
The exes remember a concert they once went to and he says there’s nobody quite like Steffy Forrester.
She’s not sure she should take that as a compliment but he assures her she should.
They talk about how much they shared and take a walk down memory lane, remembering when they were in love.
They recall walks on the beach, their weddings, honeymoon, and ski trip.
