In the Thursday, September 15, 2022, full episode recap of CBS’ Bold and the Beautiful, Bill worries to Brooke about Katie, Hope confronts Steffy and Thomas about their parents, and Steffy refuses to back off.
We also have Wednesday’s B&B recap where Taylor asked Ridge if he wanted a future with her, and Hope warned Steffy she wouldn’t let her and Taylor ruin Brooke’s marriage.
At Steffy’s, Taylor asks Ridge if he’s ready to leave Brooke and put their life and family back together.
He won’t hide the fact that he’ll always love her. “Always is a long time,” she points out. It’s good to hear it.
Ridge wonders why she’s surprised. She just wants to know why he’s telling her this now. He doesn’t know. It’s all so difficult. He has another life and their family is an important part of him.
“You are my calm,” he tells her. “I’m basically a human form of lavender,” she says. There are times she makes him laugh.
Taylor knows that he’s in love with two women. There’s a lot of back and forth.“Do you have stock in a moving company?” she jokes. It’s hard to watch him being so unhappy.
The Thomas topic comes up and she tells him how Brooke is handling that is not okay. She’s sure Brooke will betray him again. That’s just who she is and will always be.
If that’s the life he wants, she will support it. But it will be hard to watch. He has no consistent happiness or calm and never will if he stays with Brooke.
They hug and he walks out.
At Forrester Creations, Hope tells Steffy she won’t let her bash her mother anymore. Thomas tries to keep the peace but Steffy won’t back down.
She says Stephanie was right about Brooke and how she will always fall for another man. Hope and Steffy rehash her wanting her parents back together.
Thomas points out his father has more happiness and peace when he’s with Taylor. It’s obvious who he should be with. Steffy thinks he’s finally realized that.
“I think he could be reuniting with her right now,” she says.
Hope insists her mom’s scandals are all in the past. Steffy thinks they continue to happen like clockwork.
When Hope asks Thomas if his desire to have his son in his life is connected to trying to ruin Brooke’s marriage. He insists it isn’t.
After Thomas leaves for a meeting, Hope tells Steffy she wants them to put aside their differences for the sake of the children. Steffy points out the problems come when they are dealing with their parents.
Hope thinks they should leave their parents alone. Steffy can’t do that. She’s sure Brooke will break her father’s heart again.
Hope claims she would never betray Ridge again… intentionally.
That he is still married to Brooke should be respected. Steffy points out Brooke didn’t respect his marriage to Taylor.

Bill drops by Brooke’s. After he makes sure “Grumpy” isn’t there, he enters and paces. This worries her.
He explains it’s not about her heart. She’s just resisting his advances. Brooke pints out she hasn’t officially said there’s no chance for them.
Bill knows he’s hurt her but thought she’d give him one last chance. Brooke wants that for him. He knows. That’s why he’s there. She understands him better than any.
Brooke is glad he can tell her about his feelings. Waving his hands, he tells her he’s trying to be more open but it’s awkward. His sons will never know him the way she does.
Even Katie doesn’t know him the way she does.
That’s because he worries about her judging him and she has a tendency to point out his faults. He doesn’t have to worry about that with Brooke. She mostly likes him as he is.
Their marriage was mostly about lifting each other up. So many relationships get stale but he doesn’t think that would have happened to them if they’d stayed together.
She thinks it would have been complicated. He thinks they should have moved to Aspen and kept riding balloons.
Brooke tells Bill that their time together was special and they will always have memories.
He admires how beautiful she is and recalls all they shared.
She suggests he leave before Ridge comes back and offers to talk to Katie for him. He appreciates that and thanks her for listening.
As they hug, Ridge walks in and sees them. He flashes back to Taylor warning him that Brooke will let him down again and shakes his head.
