Back in Action! The Bold and the Beautiful Comings and Goings for the Week of June 30, 2025: Nick, Grace, and Hayes RETURN
Get ready, Bold and the Beautiful fans — the week of June 30, 2025, is bringing back not one, not two, but three familiar faces to the heart of Los Angeles! In a surprising and highly anticipated twist, Nick Marone, Dr. Grace Buckingham, and little Hayes Finnegan are all making their way back to the canvas—and their return promises romance, tension, and emotional fireworks.
The comings and goings this week are set to shake up existing relationships, reopen old wounds, and add new layers of intrigue to the Forresters, Spencers, and Logans.
🚢 Nick Marone Sets Sail Back to L.A.
After years off the grid, Nick Marone (played by Jack Wagner) is back—and fans couldn’t be more thrilled. The charismatic sea captain, businessman, and former love interest of both Brooke and Taylor makes his long-awaited return just as the Forrester family faces fresh internal power struggles.
Nick was last seen several years ago when he left town to focus on his shipping empire and personal growth. Now, he’s returning with a clear mission—and a few surprises.
According to inside sources, Nick’s return is tied to a major Forrester business deal gone wrong, and he might be the only person who can fix it. But this isn’t just a professional comeback—rumor has it he still harbors unfinished business with Brooke Logan, which may reignite old passions or stir up new rivalries.
A teaser promo shows Nick walking into Forrester Creations’ offices with that unmistakable smirk and charm. Ridge, predictably, doesn’t look pleased.
🩺 Grace Buckingham Returns With News That Stuns Zende and Paris
Also returning to the canvas is Dr. Grace Buckingham (portrayed by Cassandra Creech), the strong-willed mother of Paris Buckingham. Last seen in 2023, Grace left the city after a tense confrontation with Zende and Paris over their on-again, off-again romance.
Grace’s return is said to be urgent and emotional, and she’s carrying news that will impact not only Paris and Zende but potentially Carter as well.
In scenes airing this week, Grace surprises Paris at her office, leading to a heartfelt reunion and a shocking confession: Grace has been keeping a medical secret that could change everything for their family.
The drama doesn’t stop there. Grace wastes no time confronting Zende about his past actions, reigniting their past tension and pushing him to finally decide what he really wants.
👶 Hayes Finnegan Returns—Now a Toddler With a Storyline!
For the first time since infancy, Hayes Finnegan—the son of Steffy Forrester and John “Finn” Finnegan—is returning with a more central role. Aged up slightly (as often happens in soap land), Hayes is now a curious and expressive toddler who’s beginning to understand the complex world around him.
Hayes’s return will bring some much-needed heartwarming scenes, but also emotional depth as Finn and Steffy face a new parenting challenge that may test their relationship. With Sheila Carter still casting a shadow over their lives, there’s growing concern for Hayes’s safety—and speculation that his return may tie into a Sheila-related twist.
One insider hinted:
“Hayes is not just background anymore. His presence will shape some of the biggest storylines this summer.”
🔁 The Ripple Effects of the Returns
With these three characters back, the ripple effects across Los Angeles are undeniable:
-
Brooke, Ridge, and Taylor will all be forced to reckon with Nick’s presence. Will old rivalries resurface?
-
Paris and Zende may finally reach a breaking point—either in love or heartbreak.
-
Finn and Steffy must navigate parenthood with Hayes more active and aware—and possibly in danger.
-
Carter Walton, always caught in romantic triangles, may get pulled into Grace’s orbit again—professionally or personally.
Each of these returns injects The Bold and the Beautiful with fresh momentum just as the summer storylines heat up. And long-time fans are loving it.
