The Recap for The Bold and the Beautiful on July 16, 2025: 'Stunning Medical Breakthrough'
The latest instalment of The Bold and the Beautiful has seen a dramatic turn for Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), as he undergoes a life-altering surgery following a tragic accident. In a storyline that has gripped fans, Liam, who has been battling an inoperable brain tumour, was shot while trying to protect Steffy Forrester.
With no hope initially, Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech) proposed an experimental surgery as a last resort. Despite the risks and the urgency, Liam, with the encouragement of his father Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), agreed to the procedure. The surgery, performed outside of a hospital setting due to its experimental nature, was a success, with the whole tumour being removed.
The operation was a complex affair, initially involving a colleague of Dr. Buckingham, but later it was revealed that Dr. Buckingham herself was the surgeon[1][4][5]. The surgery was described as a medical miracle by Dr. Buckingham[5]. However, concerns remain about potential unintended consequences, such as Liam waking up with amnesia and a possible personality change[3][4].
As Liam recovers, his family rallies around him, offering support despite their own tensions[4]. Bill, eager to save his son, was willing to pay the significant sum of one million dollars for the surgery[4]. Liam has since been released from the hospital and is now under Bill's care.
The shooting incident has caused a stir among the characters, with Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) justifying Liam's actions as saving Steffy. Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), on the other hand, admitted that the shooting didn't feel real and Luna didn't point the gun at her the whole time[7].
Meanwhile, Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Poppy (Tanner Novlan) have had a discussion about Luna, but Finn needs to check on Liam. Finn considers Luna a "very disturbed" young woman[8]. Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) couldn't believe Luna was taunting Liam[9].
The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS and the following day on Paramount Plus. Fans eagerly await the next developments in this captivating storyline.
