‘The Bold And The Beautiful’ Spoilers: Maya Tells Rick The Truth About Her Past

Friday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful will have the big moment that has been building up for some time now. Maya Avant is finally going to tell Rick Forrester the truth about her past. How will Rick react? What Bold and Beautiful spoilers are available for the May 15 episode?

People shares the B&B spoiler sneak peek into the big moment. Viewers know that Rick had been working toward a proposal for a while now, and Maya has been anticipating it. She’s also indicated to others who know her secret that when Rick does propose, she will tell him the truth about being transgender.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal that Friday’s episode finally brings that conversation. Maya tells Rick that she would love to say yes to his proposal if he asks again, but there’s something she needs to tell him first. She starts piecing things together for him, addressing the estrogen pills and giving some background into why she moved to Los Angeles.

Rick definitely does not anticipate what news is coming his way. While others around him already know about Maya’s past as Myron, Rick hasn’t picked up on the truth at all yet. From the looks of the Bold and Beautiful sneak peek, Rick is going to be quite shocked when the truth is finally laid out for him.

The B&B sneak peek cuts off before Rick’s full reaction is shown. Viewers have been anticipating this for quite some time, and chances are that this episode will have some tense and dramatic moments. Those with the show have said they are committed to telling an honest story about this transgender character, but that likely doesn’t mean that Rick will embrace the news without difficulty.

Bold and Beautiful spoilers and speculation from Celeb Dirty Laundry indicate that Rick’s reaction may surprise people though. Rick does have a tendency to react to things explosively, but there is speculation that he may handle this big news in a gentler fashion. Can Rick move forward in his relationship with Maya confidently now that he knows the truth about her past?

Fans will surely be divided on how this story moves forward, although many are excited to see how things play out. Karla Mosley, who plays Maya, says that the fans have been incredible and very supportive. She notes that she’s hearing that many of those who have disliked Maya in the past are changing their tune and hoping for a happy ending on this front.

Mosley goes on to say that she’s proud of how the show is telling the story, and those with the show have spoken over the past few months about their commitment to do it right. Given that, it’ll certainly be interesting to see how they handle Rick’s reaction as well as those throughout the Spencer and Forrester families and companies.

Bill, Liam, Wyatt, and others have been looking to this secret to turn things upside down at Forrester Creations, but will they really go that far? As Bold and Beautiful spoilers from She Knows Soaps tease, the truth about Maya being transgender will have a ripple effect in many ways in the episodes to come.

Tune into The Bold and the Beautiful airing on Friday, May 15 to see just how Rick Forrester reacts to Maya Avant’s disclosure that she is transgender.
