At the cliff house on The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy and Finn talked about Liam’s worsening health condition. Finn told her the scan showed a mass in Liam’s brain, and the prognosis wasn’t good. Steffy couldn’t accept it and kept saying Liam couldn’t be dying. After seeing Liam with Kelly, she was in denial and couldn’t imagine life without him.

In Kelly’s room, Liam had trouble seeing clearly but said it was due to tired eyes. He couldn’t read to Kelly, so he told her a sweet story about a little girl with two loving parents. When she asked if it was about her, he promised they’d live “happily ever after” and that he’d always be with her.

The most emotional moment came when Steffy told Liam the truth. She pulled him aside and, through tears, told him about the inoperable mass in his brain. Liam was stunned, repeating the word “inoperable” in disbelief. Steffy broke down, telling him he was dying.

Brooke and Eric’s emotional moment

At Forrester Creations on The Bold and the Beautiful, Eric was talking about the new collection when Brooke walked in. Their chat quickly turned emotional as Brooke said she missed Ridge and remembered their magical wedding in Portofino. Eric saw how much she still loved Ridge and suggested she find a way to win him back, though Brooke wasn’t sure how.

As they talked, their strong bond was evident, but Brooke was clearly torn. Before she could leave, Ridge walked in and asked what was going on. Eric used the moment to remind Ridge of his past with Brooke, showing him a photo from their wedding. Ridge seemed moved but still unsure, caught between Brooke and Taylor.
