Everything that happened on the July 17, 2025, episode of The Bold and the Beautiful

On the July 17, 2025, episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, at the private clinic, Liam Spencer's unorthodox and experimental surgery was a success. Doctor Grace Buckingham left the operating theater and informed Bill Spencer, Liam's father, about the news and told him that he could take Liam home with him that day.

Bill seemed to be in disbelief, but Grace told him that she would send Liam home to Bill's mansion in an ambulance and also hire a dedicated nurse to take care of him there. She added that she wanted Liam to make a full recovery at home. Meanwhile, the other doctor took Liam to get an MRI test done.

At the hospital on The Bold and The Beautiful, John Finn Finnegan and Bridget discussed how they both felt something was wrong since Grace had released Liam into Bill's care while he still had a brain tumor and a gunshot wound. Finn added that he would try his best to get to the bottom of this.

At the Forrester Creations office, Steffy Forrester told Hope Logan that she had yet to hear updates about Liam's health condition from her husband, Finn. Hope told Steffy that she had news from Deacon Sharpe that Sheila Sharpe was recovering from the gunshot wounds at their house and that she had lost another toe in the process.

Steffy then turned the conversation into how she and Hope had to eventually tell their girls, Beth and Kelly, about how their father, Liam, was dying from an inoperable brain tumor. Both of them were kept in the dark regarding his experimental surgery.

Finn called Steffy and shared the news of Doctor Grace Buckingham signing off on Liam's release from the hospital without informing any of the other nurses or the doctors. At II Giardino on The Bold and The Beautiful, Deacon greeted his wife Sheila with pink roses.

Deacon spoke to her about how she saved people from Luna's wrath and said that she was a hero to him, Finn, and Steffy. Meanwhile, at the private clinic, Grace asked Bill about the wire transfer, and he said that he had transferred a million dollars, which was the amount for Liam's surgery.

Grace also ended up receiving a mysterious phone call and told the person on the other end that Liam's surgery was underway and that the money was gone.
