Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers September 25: Zende Forrester Dominguez Erupts, Darcy Dylan Defies Katie

BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL SPOILERS: ZENDE HITS HIS LIMIT WHILE KATIE LOGAN SPENCER SHOPS FOR HIS SIGNATURE

TL;DR: Friday, September 25 is a two-fight day on Bold and the Beautiful. Zende Forrester Dominguez boils over at RJ one day into the Electra line, and Darcy Dylan tells her daughter that Katie’s blessing was never required. The Steffy, Carter and Finn baby lie sits out the episode with no next move.

Zende Forrester Dominguez Hits His Limit One Day Into the Electra Line

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers September 25, 2026 belong to Zende Forrester Dominguez, and he is finished playing the good soldier. Thursday’s episode put RJ Forrester in charge of the new Electra line and gave Zende exactly one day under him before a door got slammed. Friday, that frustration comes to a head. The man who spent the summer on the couture team is now taking notes from Ridge’s son on a youth line built around Electra Forrester, and he is not hiding how that feels.

The timing is what makes it dangerous. On Thursday, Katie Logan Spencer told Hope Logan Spencer that she wants Zende as Logan’s next steal, and she asked Hope to make the approach. Katie has already peeled Hope away from Forrester once. Doing it again with the designer RJ just insulted would be the cleanest hit of the whole fashion war.

Reading between the lines, the writers are building a mirror. Hope left over a shelved line. Zende is being handed somebody else’s line and told to smile about it. If you want the full scorecard on Forrester versus Logan before Friday, the running B and B rundown lays out every defection so far.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Darcy Dylan Tells Her Daughter to Ignore Katie

Across town, the other mother is losing her grip too. Darcy Dylan spends Friday reminding Melissa “Miss” Dylan that she does not need Katie’s approval to be with Will Spencer. It lands one day after Will told his mother he was bringing “my girlfriend” to Logan, and Katie announced to his face that Dylan is not Spencer material.

Darcy has done this before. She tore into Katie on September 4 and has not softened since. What is different now is Will. He shook his head at his mother’s theatrics during Thursday’s blowup at Logan, and he is the one who invited Dylan into Katie’s building. Katie can bar the door all she wants, but her son is holding it open.

What Happens on Bold and the Beautiful on Friday, September 25, 2026?

Two fights, one building each. At Forrester, Zende’s frustration with RJ boils over. At Logan, Darcy tells Dylan to stop waiting for Katie’s blessing. That is the entire official card. Steffy Forrester Finnegan, Carter Walton and John “Finn” Finnegan are not on it, which tells you the writers are letting Wednesday’s “no” sit for a day before anybody answers it.

Here is the detail nobody else is connecting. The doctor who has been handling Daphne Rose Walton‘s fertility care is Li Finnegan, the woman who raised Finn. Any faked insemination Carter dreams up has to get past Finn’s own family, and the circulating chatter about a paid outside doctor skips right over that. Steffy herself warned Carter that Finn would want to meet the fertility doctor. He may not have to go far.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Next: Steffy Forrester Finnegan’s Lie Has Nowhere to Go

Here is where the baby story stands. Steffy’s test came back positive on September 10, she told Carter the baby is his, and no paternity test has aired. Carter invented frozen eggs that were never frozen, told Daphne that Steffy had agreed, and on Wednesday poured a flask into his coffee while his wife held up baby clothes. Steffy pitched the donor-and-surrogate plan to Finn on Tuesday. Finn said no on Wednesday, flat, and told her it would hurt the family.

So what happens when Finn’s medical conference ends? Don’t be surprised if he comes home angrier, not calmer. Circulating spoiler chatter for next week has him seething, and Carter has already said the words “we have to do it now.” My gut tells me the surrogacy news reaches Ridge Forrester and Taylor Hayes before anyone else, because both of them already know Daphne wants a surrogate, Ridge promised Finn he would keep an eye on Steffy, and Taylor has spent a week saying her daughter’s trouble is bigger than Sheila.

One thing the chatter gets wrong: there is no shady doctor on the cast list. Nobody has been announced and nobody has been named. If I know these writers, the person most likely to blow this open is already on the payroll, and she works at the same hospital as Finn.

Zende versus RJ, Darcy versus Katie, or the baby lie that cannot hold: pick your Friday fight and leave your verdict on this page.

Zende Is the Prize and Katie Knows It

Here is my read. RJ did not just annoy Zende on Thursday, he wrote Katie’s recruiting pitch for her. A designer who feels invisible at Forrester is the easiest hire in Los Angeles, and Katie has already proven she can poach a Forrester name and put it on a runway within weeks. Zende slamming a door is not a tantrum. It is an audition tape.

The Dylan fight is the same story in a different room: Katie treating people like inventory. Team Katie says a mother protects her son. Team Darcy says a grown man picks his own girlfriend. Pick your side and bring it to our Facebook page, because Friday is going to split the room right down the middle.
