Next week on The Bold and the Beautiful (October 6–10), fans should brace themselves for a whirlwind of passion, betrayal, and shocking revelations that promise to send ripple effects through Los Angeles. The stakes are higher than ever, and no one will come out of the week unscathed.
The drama begins with Will, who continues to struggle under the weight of the revelations surrounding Luna’s pregnancy. Even though the truth seemed to be settled, doubts linger like shadows he cannot escape. Electra tries to reassure him, her love fierce and protective, but her patience begins to fray. She can’t shake the fear that Luna will always be a presence in their relationship, a reminder of the chaos that nearly destroyed them. As the week progresses, Electra makes a shocking decision about their future together—one that could either strengthen their bond or drive them apart for good.
Meanwhile, Luna refuses to fade quietly into the background. Though the family has tried to silence her and dismiss her claims, Luna remains determined to be heard. She believes the truth about her child’s father has yet to be fully revealed, and she won’t stop until the world acknowledges her side of the story. This week, she takes drastic steps, reaching out to an unlikely ally who may help her turn the tide. But her persistence also makes her vulnerable—and by the end of the week, Luna may find herself cornered in ways she never expected.
Katie, ever the protective mother, continues her crusade to defend Will at all costs. Her determination to shield him from Luna’s manipulation grows even more ruthless. Bill, however, begins to wonder if Katie’s resolve has crossed the line into obsession. Heated arguments erupt between the two as Bill questions whether Katie’s actions are truly about protecting their son—or about controlling his life. Their clash puts a strain on their own relationship, and fans will be left wondering if Katie’s single-minded focus could end up costing her the trust of the man who has always stood by her side.
At the same time, Bridget finds herself haunted by her recent choices. Though once seen as a beacon of honesty and stability, her involvement in the DNA test scandal left cracks in her reputation. This week, Bridget faces accusations head-on. Friends and family demand answers, forcing her to explain why she acted the way she did. Her confession could either win back their understanding or drive an even deeper wedge between her and those she loves most. One thing is certain: Bridget will no longer be able to hide in the shadows of the chaos.
Elsewhere, Bill’s attention begins to shift. While he has been focused on defending Will and Katie, he now finds himself drawn into a side conflict that could change the dynamics of the entire family. Secrets buried in the past resurface, and Bill realizes that Luna’s schemes may be connected to more than just paternity drama. Could there be a bigger game at play, one that no one has fully uncovered yet? His determination to get to the bottom of it will set the stage for explosive confrontations in the weeks ahead.
The week also brings moments of tenderness—though fleeting. Electra and Will share an intimate scene where they imagine what their life together could look like if they can finally escape the shadows of lies and betrayal. Their love shines through, but the question remains: can it withstand the next round of revelations? With Luna’s persistence and Katie’s fierce protection, their path forward seems anything but clear.
By Friday, the tension reaches a boiling point. An unexpected confrontation exposes a shocking truth that could undo everything the family has worked to protect. Loyalties will be tested, hearts will be broken, and the lines between love and betrayal will blur more than ever.
Next week’s episodes promise everything fans love about The Bold and the Beautiful: heartbreak, redemption, shocking twists, and the reminder that in this world, the truth is never simple and love is never safe. The fallout from these revelations will set the stage for battles that stretch far beyond October 10, leaving fans eagerly waiting to see which relationships will survive—and which will be destroyed forever.
2026 Cadillac Optiq Packs More Power with New RWD, 440-HP AWD Setups
The addition of the Cadillac Optiq-V performance model was the big news for 2026, but it turns out that’s not the only version of this compact luxury SUV that gets more horsepower for the new model year. Every version of the 2026 Optiq has a new powertrain setup, as the dual-motor all-wheel-drive powertrain now has nearly 50 percent more grunt than before, and a new single-motor base model joins the lineup that’s more powerful than last year’s dual-motor configuration.
The base Optiq now has a 315-hp electric motor powering the rear wheels; a dual-motor setup was previously the only choice, and it produced 300 horsepower. Opt for the 2026 Optiq AWD, and you get a totally new setup with front and rear electric motors making 440 horsepower. The previously announced Optiq-V is the most powerful in the lineup with its 519-hp dual-motor configuration.

Although EPA numbers aren’t yet available, Cadillac has revised the Optiq’s range estimates as well. The company cites the RWD base model as delivering 300 miles of range, while the AWD dual-motor model has a claimed 280 miles of range. The Optiq-V is estimated to have 275 miles of range on a charge.
The new RWD configuration is less expensive than last year’s base model, starting at $52,395. Upgrading to AWD is a $3500 upcharge on all trim levels except for the Optiq-V, which comes standard with AWD.
