The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers recap for Wednesday, January 19, reveals that Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) called out Paris Buckingham’s (Diamond White) jealousy while Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) spilled Brooke Forrester’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) secret.
First on Wednesday’s B&B episode, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) was working from home at the cabin.
Hope Spencer (Annika Noelle) confirmed that Liam could stay with the kids while she went up to the main house to check on Brooke.
After Hope left, Douglas appeared and wondered where his mom was.
Liam mentioned that Hope was visiting Grandma, so Douglas once again brought up how he saw Grandma kissing Santa Claus.
When Liam guessed that must be Douglas’ favorite song, Douglas insisted that he wasn’t talking about the song at all.
Douglas said he saw Grandma kissing Santa for real on New Year’s Eve.
Meanwhile, Brooke talked to Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) about Taylor Hayes’ (Krista Allen) unnerving visit, though she guessed Taylor was genuinely concerned.
Brooke continued to battle shame about the night she fell off the wagon and tortured herself trying to figure out what triggered her.
Ridge felt the most important thing was that Brooke was doing the work to get better.
When Hope arrived, she joined Ridge in giving Brooke support. Hope agreed that Brooke needed to give herself credit for her honesty and for accepting help.
In Taylor’s office, she asked why Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) was suddenly so stuck on Brooke.
Sheila acted like she was trying to get back in the loop and thought she should know about the woman married to Hayes Forrester Finnegan’s (Piper Harriot) grandfather.
Sheila assured Taylor that she wasn’t obsessed and that she’d changed now that she knew what was important, which was her family.
Taylor so wanted to believe Sheila since it would make things a lot less complicated if they could trust her intentions.
Sheila was grateful to Taylor for giving her a chance to prove herself – unlike Brooke, who was unforgiving and acted like she never made a mistake.
Sheila thought that Taylor of all people would be annoyed by Brooke as much as she was.
Back at her hotel, Sheila grumbled since she thought Taylor would be eager to spill the tea.
Sheila still wanted to know if Brooke fell into the trap she set for her and vowed that Brooke’s day of reckoning was coming soon.
At home again, Ridge pushed Brooke to stop being so hard on herself. He pointed out that Brooke could’ve hid her drinking from him, but she didn’t.
Ridge praised Brooke for sharing every intimate detail of what happened that night and was so proud of her.
Back at the cabin, Douglas swore that he saw Grandma kissing Santa.
Liam tried to act like Douglas just thought he saw it, but Douglas knew for sure what he witnessed.
Douglas guessed that maybe Santa came back to give Grandma a present and suspected Brooke was thanking him with the kiss.
When Hope came in, she got updates and assumed Douglas was misremembering the song lyrics.
Liam insisted that Douglas was talking about Brooke and was trying to tell them something.
Douglas repeated that he saw Grandma kissing Santa on New Year’s Eve at her house.
Douglas said it happened at night since he snuck out to get his stuffed bunny.
Douglas was sorry and hoped he wasn’t in trouble, but Liam said they were just so happy he was being honest with them.
As Douglas continued, he revealed that he walked up to the living room window and that’s when he saw Grandma kissing Santa.
At Forrester Creations, Paris still seemed a bit torn over Zende going on his date with that model.
Paris knew she was way too young to be committed, but it caught her off guard when he made plans with someone else.
Carter said he could help Paris understand and thought she was jealous.
Carter acted like it was perfectly fine to still care about Zende, though she knew she made the right decision to be honest about her feelings and preserve her freedom.
Paris thought Zende deserved a woman who was as into him as he was into her. Paris admitted there had always been something “imbalanced” about her own relationship with Zende.
Paris just never thought it mattered before because they were just dating.
Carter said he was one of Paris’ biggest fans, so she thanked him for opening the door for her with the Forrester Foundation.
Carter was glad that he followed his instincts – for reasons that were both professional and personal.
Carter liked having Paris around since she was so different and endlessly fascinating.
The more Paris sat with her Zende decision, the more she thought it was for the best.
Paris confessed that she couldn’t stop thinking about her kiss with Carter, so he said he couldn’t stop thinking about it either.
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Carter will confuse Paris with his upcoming actions, so this romance will come with more drama.
