Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers August 16: Li Drops a Bomb on Poppy

On the August 16 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, spoilers tease that Li makes a stunning revelation to her troubled sister, Poppy. Has Li been hiding something from Poppy all along? In another unpredictable move, Taylor returns home to Los Angeles and surprises her daughter, Steffy. Mama’s home, just when Steffy needs her. This will surely be a major episode you don’t want to miss.

Family Secrets

Poppy’s (Romy Park) good fortune instantly flipped as she went from her new home in Bill’s (Don Diamont) mansion to jail in handcuffs. Poppy insists that she didn’t kill anyone, and she doesn’t know how a lethal version of her go-to mints wound up in Tom’s (Clint Howard) backpack. She also stands firm in believing Bill is Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) father, although Bill now wants a second paternity test to confirm that.

Poppy’s harshest critic, Li, visits her in the midst of all this turmoil. The older sister reveals something to Poppy that will leave her–and viewers–stunned. Did Li interfere with Bill and Luna’s original paternity test that she administered? Does Li know more about the deaths of Tom and Hollis (Hollis W. Chambers) than Poppy does? Would Li have a reason to kill both of them? Now is the time to find out.

Coming Home

We were all blown away to see Taylor in Monte Carlo, watching Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) from afar. We were even more surprised to see veteran soap actress Rebecca Budig will now play her. Taylor spoke to her daughter Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) on the phone and said she would be coming back to LA soon. It looks like that time is now.

Taylor catches Steffy off guard by showing up unannounced, and Steffy couldn’t be more thrilled. She’s been feeling a bit pushed aside at work by Brooke’s Bedroom and the subsequent Logan lovefest. Mom is home just in time to help Steffy stand her ground against Hope (Annika Noelle) and Brooke. How will Ridge feel about having Taylor back in town?
