Thursday on 'The Bold and the Beautiful', Brooke tells Eric that Maya will tell Rick the truth about her before he proposes. Eric is furious that Nicole told Wyatt and worries about Bill's actions once Wyatt tells him about Maya.

Ridge confronts Wyatt and demands to know if he told Bill about Maya's secret. Wyatt says that he did but assures him that they'll do everything to keep him quiet. Ridge doesn't want to take the risk and rushes off to talk to Bill.

Meanwhile at Spencer Publications, Katie implores Bill not to create a scandal over Maya's secret. Bill says that he has to do it because it certainly is big news. Katie doesn't want Bill to hurt Maya, and he doesn't want him to be among those people who have hurt the transgender community. Bill says the issue is not about Maya being transgender, it's about Rick, who's a bully. He says that he plans to run the story.

Ridge and Wyatt arrive and hears Bill's plans. Bill reminds Ridge about all the things that Rick has done to hurt him, but Ridge tells him to stay out of it. Bill blames Ridge for the whole mess before calling Justin to pull the story.

After everyone leaves, Bill calls Justin again to run the story—soon, everybody will know about Maya.

Here's what to expect on 'The Bold and the Beautiful' on Friday, May 15:

Everyone at Forrester prepares to face company backlash; Bill takes matters into his own hands; Nick assures Maya she made the right choices for herself; Ridge assures Eric and Brooke that everything is under control.
