‘B&B’ Early Week Spoilers Dec 22-26: Eric’s Party Shocker, Deke’s Shaky Future, Brooke’s Dilemma

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for the week of December 22 suggest some curveballs! For one thing, Eric Forrester (John McCook) and Donna Logan Forrester (Jennifer Gareis) have a party shocker.

Plus, what is Deke Sharpe’s (Harrison Cone) future with Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) back on the L.A. scene? Keep reading, and let’s talk about what is coming up in the CBS soap opera.

Brooke Logan Forrester’s Dilemma

Let’s start off with Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang). The woman tried to reason with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor).

When they praised the outside PR firm, Brooke asked what that meant for Katie Logan Spencer (Heather Tom), but didn’t get a real answer. 

Now with Katie feeling even more dismissed by Ridge, it is looking more likely that she’s going to take Bill Spencer’s (Don Diamont) deal. 

Deke Sharpe’s Uncertain Future

Next up, we have Thomas, who struts back into FC and makes a declaration. As Ridge smiles, Thomas says this is exactly where he needs to be.

Then, a preview clip shows Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) puts Hope Logan Spencer (Annika Noelle) in an impossible situation.

It sounds like Thomas’ return will mean the end of Deke’s career at Forrester Creations. Maybe Katie’s new fashion house can pick him up. Maybe Katie will take Deke as well as Hope!

I could also see Eric Forrester (John McCook) wanting to design a bit despite retirement, but Ridge saying no. That could be another win in Katie’s corner.

Eric Forrester’s Holiday Party

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for next week reveal that on New Year’s Eve, Eric and Donna throw a Christmas party. It seems that it will be quite the event, with loved ones being shocked by how they pulled it all off. 

As for Ridge, he will likely have an incredible gift for Brooke. The two are back together, so this Christmas will be special. 

Over with Carter, he could make some romantic moves toward Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire). It is teased that they share a passionate kiss. I wonder if Daphne will get closer to him. The man has been working awfully hard to prove his worth to her, that’s for sure!

Programming Note

Just as a programming note, there will be no new episode on Christmas Day. So, enjoy your holiday and get ready for some new drama in 2026!
