The Bold and the Beautiful recap for Tuesday, April 23, 2024, delivered a heartbreaking and emotional blow to Liam. Plus, Carter makes a plea to Hope while Sheila is shocked to learn what Deacon did.
What Happened on Bold and the Beautiful?
At first, Liam (Scott Clifton) couldn’t believe it—who would? But the look in her eyes said it all. She revealed he has an inoperable brain mass and no real treatment options. Liam struggled to process it, insisting doctors must be able to do something. He has kids. He eats right. This can’t be happening.
Liam’s shock turned to denial. He told Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) he can’t leave his daughters, especially when they need him most. But Steffy gently reminded him: this isn’t just a health scare. It’s a terminal reality.
Finn (Tanner Novlan) joined them, and Liam asked him directly—was it true? When Finn’s silence confirmed it, the truth started to sink in. Liam demanded that nobody else find out. He can’t be dying. Not now.
Meanwhile, Kelly (Sophia Paras McKinlay) shared a sweet moment with Finn. She was bummed about missing her dance but touched by Liam stepping in and making her feel special. Finn reminded her of the unbreakable bond between a father and daughter, even saying tonight’s memory would last a lifetime. Kelly agreed. Her dad always comes through, and she knows he’ll never leave her.

Surprises
Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) tried distracting Deacon (Sean Kanan) at Il Giardino, but he was lost in thought over Hope (Annika Noelle). He told Sheila he confronted Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), even throwing punches to keep him away from his daughter. Sheila was stunned to hear Deacon actually suggested Hope reunite with Liam—of all people.
Later, Carter showed up at Hope’s place to plead for a second chance. Their conversation was tense, emotional, and full of regret. Hope admitted that Carter let her down when she was only trying to support him. While he begged her to rebuild their future, she made it clear she’s started to rethink everything, especially her past with Liam.
