The Bold and the Beautiful – August 6, 2025 Recap: Brooke in Crisis, Ridge Turns Cold, and Nick’s Fate Hangs in the Balance
The August 6th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful delivered one of the most explosive and emotionally raw hours of the season. With Brooke Logan at the center of the chaos, a life hanging in the balance, and Ridge Forrester making a chilling decision, fans were left stunned—and hungry for more.

Here’s everything that happened in this dramatic and unforgettable episode.

😱 Brooke Screams for Help – A Life-or-Death Situation
The episode opened in chaos: Brooke Logan discovering Nick Marone collapsed on the floor of Il Giardino after what appeared to be a sudden medical emergency. In a moment of sheer panic, Brooke dropped to her knees, screaming for help, frantically dialing 911 while trying to keep Nick conscious.

Tears streamed down her face as she cried out,
“Don’t you dare leave me like this, Nick! Stay with me!”

The rawness in her voice shook even the most hardened viewers. For longtime fans, it was a devastating callback to their complex romantic history — reminding us just how deep the connection between Brooke and Nick once was, and perhaps still is.

😠 Ridge Arrives… And Refuses to Intervene

In a shocking turn of events, Ridge Forrester arrived at the scene—but his reaction stunned everyone, including Brooke. Instead of rushing to help, Ridge stood cold and silent. When Brooke screamed at him to help carry Nick to the car before the paramedics arrived, Ridge flatly refused.

“He made his choices. Let him deal with the consequences,” Ridge said, arms crossed, jaw clenched.

Brooke, visibly horrified, shouted:
“What is wrong with you? This isn’t about the past—it’s about a man’s life!”

But Ridge didn’t budge. His deep resentment toward Nick—due to years of romantic rivalry and business betrayal—had clearly resurfaced at the worst possible moment. Viewers on social media were split, with some calling Ridge’s behavior “heartless” and others saying he’s “finally done being the nice guy.”

💔 Emotional Fallout: Brooke vs. Ridge
After the paramedics arrived and took Nick to the hospital, Brooke confronted Ridge with raw fury. The confrontation between them at the Forrester mansion later that day was filled with bitterness and pain.

“What kind of man watches someone die and does nothing?” Brooke shouted, shaking.

Ridge replied coolly, “He’s manipulated you for years. If today was his reckoning, maybe the universe just did us a favor.”

Brooke, disgusted and brokenhearted, slapped Ridge and walked out—leaving their relationship hanging by a thread. This could mark the beginning of yet another breakup for the two… or a deeper reckoning about Ridge’s true character.

🏥 Nick’s Condition: Critical but Stable
Meanwhile, at University Hospital, Dr. Bridget Forrester (Nick’s former lover and Brooke’s daughter) appeared for a powerful emotional twist. She informed Brooke that Nick had suffered a massive cardiac event and would remain under observation.

This moment was another emotional gut-punch, as Bridget and Brooke stood side by side—two women bound by love, pain, and Nick himself. The past collided with the present as Bridget wept:
“I don’t care how much time has passed—I still care about him.”

🤐 Steffy and Finn: Secrets on the Horizon
Elsewhere, Steffy and Finn continued dealing with the fallout from Liam’s surprise visit. Though they weren’t the center of the episode, a brief scene showed Finn scrolling through Ridge’s security footage—possibly to find out more about Ridge’s strange behavior. Could Finn uncover something deeper going on with Ridge?
