B&B SPOILERS: STEFFY’S DANGEROUS GAMBLE BRINGS DAPHNE BACK AS HOPE FIGHTS FOR HER FUTURE

Just when Hope Logan thought she could finally breathe easy with her engagement ring sparkling on her finger, Steffy Forrester drops a bombshell that has the entire fashion world — and Hope’s relationship — on edge!

The drama explodes during the week of June 16, 2025, when Steffy makes her move to bring Daphne Rose back to Los Angeles. And we ALL know this isn’t just about perfume!

The Woman Who Almost Destroyed Everything Returns

Remember Daphne Rose? The French perfumer who waltzed into town back in January with her intoxicating scents and even more intoxicating agenda? Steffy’s “dear friend” who just happened to have her lips on Carter Walton by March?

Yeah, THAT Daphne.

Now Steffy’s reaching out to Paris, desperately trying to convince Daphne to return. The official story? Business. The perfume line needs her expertise. But come on — when has anything at Forrester Creations ever been “just business”?

Hope sees right through this charade. She’s fighting tooth and nail to keep Daphne far, FAR away from Los Angeles. And who can blame her? This is the same woman who tried to seduce her fiancé just months ago! The same woman Brooke Logan caught trashing Hope to anyone who’d listen!

Nick Marone’s Surprise Return Shakes Up Everything

But wait — there’s MORE drama brewing!

Nick Marone is back in town with that signature smile and one goal: winning back Brooke Logan. The man who once held Brooke’s heart is making all the right moves, and spoilers reveal he’s not holding back — there’s even a kiss involved!

Ridge Forrester is NOT happy.

In preview clips, he’s confiding in Taylor Hayes about how much he “doesn’t like the guy.” Sure, Ridge. We totally believe you’re just “concerned” and not jealous at all. The way he’s reacting? This has green-eyed monster written all over it!

Katie Logan is quick to share her opinion when Brooke opens up about Nick’s surprise visit. Will Brooke actually consider giving Nick another chance? Or is her heart still firmly with Ridge, despite his obvious jealousy?

Luna’s Sinister Plan Takes a Dark Turn

While the adults are playing their romantic games, something far more sinister is happening at the Finnegan house.

Luna Nozawa — Finn’s recently revealed daughter who’s been nothing but trouble — is taking her vendetta against Steffy to terrifying new heights. She’s been spying on the family, and in a chilling scene, she corners little Hayes Forrester Finnegan in the yard.

The boy is understandably apprehensive when this stranger approaches him. But Luna tries to gain his trust, calling him by name. She might even tell him she’s Finn’s daughter too — making her his sister!

Then comes the truly disturbing part: Luna gives Hayes an “unexpected gift.”

What could it be? Whatever it is, sources say if Steffy and Finn ever discover this gift, it’ll send “shivers down their spine.” Is Luna planning to kidnap Hayes? Or does she have something even more twisted in mind?

What’s Really Behind Steffy’s Desperate Move?

Let’s talk about what’s REALLY happening here. Steffy knows exactly what she’s doing by bringing Daphne back. This is the same playbook she used before — bring in a beautiful woman to “help” with business while secretly hoping she’ll distract someone she wants out of the picture.

Think about it: Hope and Carter just got engaged in May. They’re finally solid after all the drama with the Forrester takeover. And NOW, suddenly, Steffy desperately needs Daphne back?

Please.

The timing is too convenient. Steffy never got over Hope catching feelings for Finn at that party. She never forgave the Logan takeover of Forrester Creations. And she certainly hasn’t forgotten how Carter chose Hope over the Forresters.

This is revenge, pure and simple. Wrapped up in a pretty perfume bottle.

The Stakes Have Never Been Higher

If Daphne returns, Hope and Carter’s engagement could implode faster than you can say “hostile takeover.” We’ve already seen how Daphne operates — she’s smooth, sophisticated, and has zero qualms about going after taken men.

Remember when Hope walked into Carter’s office expecting to celebrate, only to find him kissing Daphne? His excuse that he was “just surprised” didn’t fly then, and it won’t fly now if Daphne makes another move.

But here’s the thing — Carter chose Hope. He proposed to Hope. He’s been nothing but devoted since they officially got together. Will he stay strong if Daphne turns on the charm again? Or will Steffy’s plan work perfectly, destroying the one good thing Hope has going?

Meanwhile, Ridge better figure out his feelings fast. Because Nick Marone didn’t come back to Los Angeles to play games. He wants Brooke, and he’s going after her with everything he’s got. If Ridge keeps playing the “I’m just concerned” card while seething with jealousy, he might lose Brooke for good this time.

And Luna? Whatever she’s planning with Hayes is guaranteed to be explosive. This storyline is “really starting to heat up,” and we haven’t seen anything yet!

One thing’s for certain — Los Angeles is about to become a battlefield. With Steffy importing drama from Paris, Nick stirring up old feelings, and Luna targeting innocent children, someone’s bound to get hurt.

The question is: who will be left standing when the dust settles?
