The Bold and the Beautiful recap is in for Tuesday, January 20, 2026. In today’s episode, Dylan (Sydney Bullock) seizes an opportunity.

RJ Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) faces Will Spencer (Crew Morrow). Plus, Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) tries to help Sheila Carter Sharpe (Kimberlin Brown).

Steffy Forrester Finnegan’s Demand

Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) is dictating notes about Deacon Sharpe’s (Sean Kanan) therapy. Steffy quietly spies on her mother. Steffy barges in the door and rages about Taylor still seeing Deacon. (Make sure to check out our WEEKLY B&B spoilers, here!)

Steffy orders that she can’t be with Sheila’s husband! Taylor says it’s just professional. No matter what Taylor says, Steffy is full of doubt. Sheila could snap if she finds out!

Taylor finally admits she does have feelings for the man. That made her realize that she can move on from Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). Well, she can’t feel it for Deacon, Steffy declares. Drop him as a patient!

Deacon Sharpe Distracted

Sheila and Deacon are at home together. The woman tries to distract him from typing on the laptop. She sticks her chest in his face.

Deacon does nothing. Sheila wants to know what’s going on between Deacon and Taylor. Then, she suddenly says Taylor has been good for Deacon. Then, she kisses him and leaves. Deacon rubs his eyes.

Hope Logan Spencer (Annika Noelle) shows up. The blonde is happy that her father is alone. What’s going on with you and Taylor?

Deacon changes the topic to Hope and Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton). Deacon asks about Beth Spencer (Jordyn Grace).

Hope says that Sheila can’t be there and asks again about his therapist. Deacon says Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) was supposed to keep quiet. It’s complicated, he admits.

Hope confesses that Steffy came to her. Hope doesn’t want Deacon to say no to himself. Deacon needs to follow his heart, she says.

If Taylor makes her dad happy, then she supports it. Hope reasons that Taylor would be a huge step up from Sheila. Deacon knows he is married but he has feelings for Taylor. Sheila could go nuts if she found out, though.

Li Finnegan’s Patience

Li appears at Il Giardino. Sheila quickly gives her an update on everything. Sheila talks about Hope and Deke being unsupportive. Li says it will take time.

Dylan’s Opportunity

At Forrester Creations, Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) spies on RJ and Electra Forrester’s (Laneya Grace) chat about Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada).

Will comes in and declares the golden boy is back. RJ says his parents have reunited, so it seemed like a good time to return.

Will is surprised to learn that EJ and Electra had never met until today. It’s brought up once again that they aren’t related by blood. Yes, BOLD, we get it.

RJ gushes about how talented Electra is to Will. The young man feels lucky that Electra chose him as her boyfriend. Awww, that’s sweet.

Will says he is part of FC now and doesn’t think they should act like Ridge and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont). RJ totally agrees.

Will leaves and Electra takes a phone call. Electra cancels her plans for tonight with Will. She has to work late to help Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer).

Meanwhile, Will goes home and runs into Dylan. Electra calls Will and lets him know she has to work late. Will understands and promises to save her some chicken. Dylan asks if everything is okay.
