Bold and the Beautiful, a hit CBS soap opera, experienced its share of ups and downs in 2025. From unexpected departures to surprising returns, fans were kept on their toes throughout the year. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, who plays Steffy Forrester, took a maternity leave in July 2025, returning in September to a tumultuous storyline involving the shooting of Liam Spencer and the alleged death of Luna Nozawa, played by Lisa Yamada. However, many fans suspect Luna's death was staged, and anticipate her return in 2026.

Matthew Atkinson, a fan-favorite, made intermittent appearances as Thomas Forrester throughout the year. After a long absence, he returned in September 2025 for a confrontation with Brooke Logan, played by Katherine Kelly Lang, over her reunion with Ridge Forrester, played by Thorsten Kaye. However, Atkinson's presence on the show seems to be dwindling as he was already removed from the opening credits.

Henry Joseph Samiri, who plays Douglas Forrester, made a brief return in December 2025 for Hope Logan and Liam's wedding, played by Annika Noelle and Scott Clifton respectively. Hope was later forced to fire Deke, played by Harrison Cone, to accommodate Thomas' return.

In a strange twist, Joshua Hoffman, who portrayed RJ Forrester, disappeared without any explanation in 2024, with rumors of a possible recasting circulating in 2025. This has led to speculation about a new actor, Brian Nicoletti, possibly stepping into the role in 2026.

Murielle Hilaire, who plays Daphne Rose, left the show in May 2025 only to return in July, following the end of Hope and Carter Walton's engagement, played by Lawrence Saint-Victor.

Lastly, Jack Wagner's return as Nick Marone in mid-2025 didn't live up to the hype. Despite hints of a possible romance with Brooke, the storyline fizzled out, much to fans' disappointment.
