Bold and the Beautiful Must Watch Moments May 5: Steffy Urges Liam To Tell Hope
The Bold and the Beautiful must-watch moments for Monday, May 5, show Steffy telling Liam he needs to let Hope know what’s going on with his health. It promises to be a day filled to the brim with drama, and you won’t want to miss a second of the show. Tune in to CBS or Paramount+ to watch.

Liam (Scott Clifton) begged Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Finn (Tanner Novlan) to keep his diagnosis a secret. He didn’t want anybody to know that he has an inoperable brain tumor and is likely dying.
Sure, Liam’s final plans are to spend time with his daughters. One of whom is his and Hope’s (Annika Noelle) daughter, Beth (Jordyn Ariza). Liam seemed to believe he’d be able to keep the truth from his ex-wife. Of course, Liam’s new living arrangement caught Hope’s eye, and she’s not quite convinced by his explanations.
Meanwhile, even though Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) asked Hope for a second chance, it doesn’t seem she’s quite ready to. In fact, she’s been remembering her marriage to Liam quite fondly.
Outside of the Mustang, Ford doesn’t make cars anymore. Here’s one that some would call its best.
With a manual transmission, all-wheel drive, and a high-strung turbocharged engine, it’s a rally car for the road.
This one is the right color, low mileage, and from the final year for the RS.
Apart from the Mustang (which worryingly has seen a falloff in sales this year), Ford doesn’t sell cars any more, just SUVs, trucks, and crossovers. This is more than a bit of a bummer if you grew up with a small Ford in the driveway, as the company has some great hits in its back catalogue. The original Taurus SHO was kind of like a working-man’s BMW M5, and the last Fiesta ST was more fun that cars costing twice as much. But if forced to pick the last great compact car to wear the blue oval, there’s one obvious choice.
That’s the Focus RS, like this 2018 model for sale on Bring a Trailer (which, like Car and Driver, is part of Hearst Autos). This is the last of the breed, a 2018 model in Nitrous Blue, even spec’d without a sunroof for a better center of gravity.
The Focus RS is basically the best WRX STI that Subaru never built. It got a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder good for 350 horsepower, torque-vectoring all wheel drive, and even a selectable Drift mode. It absolutely ripped, equal in performance to Honda’s Civic Type-R but with more grip when the weather wasn’t cooperating.
This is a nicely preserved example with just 46K miles on the odometer. Apart from some lowering springs—from Whiteline, a well-known specialist among the Subaru faithful—it’s pretty much in factory trim with a clean history and no previous collisions noted. There are a few cosmetic blemishes here and there, but that just means you’re free to get out and drive it.
To do so is to experience a higher-tech version of the joy behind an original Escort Cosworth. On this side of the Atlantic, we didn’t get the best quick compacts Ford made, as delivering performance was mostly the job of the Mustang. Overseas, the RS badge was legendary among fast Ford fans, and the Focus RS was our chance at tasting some forbidden fruit.
