The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers: Gunshots & secrets

The tension rises fast on The Bold and the Beautiful as the July 9 episode delivers one of its most dramatic twists yet. Sheila, Liam, and Luna are all victims in a sudden and violent shooting.

While Sheila appears to have taken a hit to the foot, Liam and Luna aren’t as lucky. Liam is shot in the chest after trying to stop Luna, and both are left in critical condition. Doctors Li, Grace, and Bridget rush to stabilize all three. With such severe injuries, not everyone may survive — and someone won’t.

Hope faces more heartbreak while Carter steps up

Elsewhere, Hope is already consumed by worry. She knows Liam is terminally ill with a brain tumor, but she hasn’t learned about the shooting yet. As she braces herself for a future without him, she’s comforted by Carter.

Carter gently assures Hope that she won’t be alone. He promises to step in as a strong father figure to Beth, while also acknowledging that Liam should be part of Beth’s life for as long as possible. His quiet strength and support mean more than words in this moment of uncertainty.

Is Liam’s diagnosis real — or will the bullet reveal the truth?

Back at the hospital, Grace and Bridget are seen working under pressure. Their conversation turns cryptic as they urgently try to “find” something — whether it’s a bullet, a tumor, or someone critical to the patient’s survival isn’t immediately clear.

There’s growing speculation about Liam’s condition. Was the brain tumor diagnosis accurate? Grace’s overly aggressive push for treatment had already raised questions. Could it be that the gunshot injury, tragic as it seems, ends up saving his life by exposing something previously missed?

Meanwhile, Steffy updates Finn about what unfolded between Sheila and Luna. Could this incident soften her long-held anger toward Sheila? It’s too early to tell, but the dynamic between them may be shifting in an unexpected way.

In the aftermath of violence, secrets surface and lives may change — nothing in Los Angeles will ever be the same.
