CBS The Bold and the Beautiful 9/11/2025 – Full Episode Recap for Thursday, August 11
Thursday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful was nothing short of a soap opera earthquake, delivering one of the most jaw-dropping wedding day twists in recent memory. What should have been a serene celebration of love between Hope Logan and Carter Walton instead turned into a battlefield of betrayals, confessions, and shattered vows—culminating in Finn’s shocking revelation that left the entire Forrester, Logan, and Spencer clan reeling.
The day began with Carter determined to prove himself as Hope’s true partner, his heart set on building a solid, lasting marriage. Despite his devotion, he couldn’t completely shake the specter of Liam Spencer hovering in the background. Liam has never truly let go of Hope, and his subtle attempts to win her back have been increasing in intensity. Carter, aware but unwilling to voice his insecurities, pressed forward with hope that their vows would seal their bond once and for all.
Meanwhile, spoilers hinted that Thomas Forrester might re-enter the picture. With his parents’ relationship imploding—Ridge breaking Taylor’s heart yet again in favor of Brooke—Thomas found himself longing for stability. He sees Hope, their son Douglas, and the chance for a family reunion as the anchor he so desperately needs. When he impulsively kisses Hope, it complicates everything further. Suddenly, she faces not two suitors but three: Carter’s steady love, Liam’s familiar passion, and Thomas’s raw, rekindled devotion.
But none of these romantic entanglements could have prepared anyone for the nuclear moment that detonated in the middle of the wedding.
As guests lifted their champagne glasses in a toast, Finn—already looking pale and unsteady—lost his composure. The glass slipped from his hand, shattering across the floor. Concern flickered across Hope’s face as she softly asked if he was all right. That simple act of kindness unraveled him completely. With tears brimming and his voice trembling, Finn let the secret he had been carrying explode into the open: “She’s pregnant with my baby!”
The words hung for only a second before detonating like a bomb. The room fell into stunned silence, every face twisted in shock and horror. Carter froze beside Hope, his dream of a perfect day obliterated in an instant. Liam’s expression hardened, fury taking over as the implications hit him. Hope’s smile drained away, her bouquet trembling in her hands as she processed the impossible.
At first, all eyes turned to Steffy. Was Finn confessing that he had betrayed her? Steffy’s horrified denial came quickly—her panic real, but not tied to Finn’s words. Then the crowd’s collective gaze shifted again, revealing the true target of Finn’s anguished confession: Sheila Carter.
Standing apart, Sheila’s hand instinctively cradled her stomach, her smirk both chilling and triumphant. It wasn’t just an affair—it was the affair. And the baby wasn’t just any baby—it was a Sheila Carter baby. In an instant, Finn’s fragile marriage to Steffy, his carefully constructed life, and the sanctity of Hope’s wedding all collapsed beneath the weight of the revelation.
The fallout was immediate and devastating. Brooke broke down in tears for her daughter’s ruined day. Ridge’s jaw locked in fury at both Finn and Sheila. Katie could only weep openly, while Bill looked grimly satisfied at the chaos. Liam pulled back from Steffy, his anger and betrayal written all over his face. Hope, pale and shattered, clutched Carter’s arm just to stay upright, her once-radiant joy gone in an instant.
And at the center of it all stood Finn—his chest heaving, his confession tearing him apart. This wasn’t a moment of pride, but of collapse. The weight of his secret had consumed him, and in one desperate outburst he destroyed the façade of peace everyone had worked so hard to preserve.
The wedding was officially over. Hope and Carter’s union never stood a chance after Finn’s revelation. Carter, heartbroken, now faces an impossible recovery, while Liam seizes the chaos as an opening to reclaim Hope. Thomas, emboldened by the destruction, moves forward with his plan to reunite with her and Douglas.
But all these love triangles and rivalries now pale in comparison to the looming threat of Sheila’s pregnancy. It’s not just another complication—it’s a living bomb, binding Finn to Sheila forever and threatening to tear apart the Forrester, Logan, and Spencer families once more.
Thursday’s episode wasn’t just about a canceled wedding. It was about lives destroyed, loyalties tested, and secrets too dark to stay hidden. And as the dust settles, one truth becomes clear: what should have been a day of vows will forever be remembered as the day Finn’s scream changed everything.
