April 2025 was a busy month on The Bold and the Beautiful, with lots of familiar faces, exciting crossover guest spots, and a few celebrity drop-ins, which added that red-carpet glamour to the canvas.
The show leaned heavily on two big storylines. One was the high-stakes Forrester Creations fashion show, a special event that brought in special guests from both inside the soap world and out there in the real world. The other was Liam Spencer's escalating medical emergency, which brought back iconic Forrester family members and physicians to carry on his banner.
Legacy characters made their presence felt once more. Fresh faces socialized with known residents, and new physicians introduced much-needed stability during a period of emotional upheaval.
Here is an entire and thorough review of all of the official cast debuts on The Bold and the Beautiful in April 2025.
