THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Don Diamont & Scott Clifton Shine In Father/Son Scenes; As Bill Watches Liam’s Meltdown Over the Accident that Killed Vinny
On Thursday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, emotional two-person scenes were the order of the day featuring three-time Daytime Emmy winner, Scott Clifton (who may nab a nominations next year for this story) and longtime soap vet, Don Diamont.
In story, Dollar Bill has done everything to protect his son by covering up all the evidence in his attempt to save Liam from surely a murder sentence and going to prison.

Bill’s theory: if anyone were to find out that Liam was driving Bill’s car when suddenly out of nowhere came Vinny (Joe LoCicero) – who Liam hates – and he hit him with the car and fatally killed the guy, they would think he had intent and motive. (However, to us there has to be more to the story! Did Vinny just randomly happen to be on the road that Liam and Bill were driving on and walking across it?)
At Bill’s place, Liam is agonizing as he keeps flashing back to the accident. When Bill comes in from a morning jog, Liam is astonished that his father was out jogging, when they are in deep hot water for covering up their now hit and run. Bill gets angry and tells him he actually went to see if there are were any cameras near the accident and he is happy to report there were none, so Liam is in the clear. Therefore, Liam needs to keep his mouth shut and let this go and move on with his life and reuniting with Hope (Annika Noelle).
Not able to live with the cover-up, the lies, and what he did, Liam is insisting he has to go to the police, but Bill shouts: “You are not going to the police!” Liam goes on to his own subplot theory that they can say he hit an animal and then turn themselves in. Bill keeps firing back at his son, that he cannot do anything of the sort. He has done everything to protect his son in this mess and Liam could screw that all up with one wrong move. Bill says, “All you have to do is…” and Liam fires back, “Pretend it never happened.”
It is then that Bill tells Liam that killing Vinny will haunt him whether he’s behind bars or a free man, and that he should opt for the latter. Now unraveling, Liam’s convinced the police will figure out their cover-up. Just then, Bill pulls out a news report on his phone about the hit-and-run that has no leads and no ID of the body. He assures his son there will never be any leads because he took care of everything.
Just then, Hope texts Liam wondering where he is for their lunch date. Bill tells Liam to text her back saying something came up, he is in no condition to see anyone till he pulls himself together. Liam texts back that he can’t make it. When Hope texts back in response, “I hope you’re okay,” that sets up the end of the episode where Liam begins to hyperventilate and cannot catch his breathe, and is frightened and grief-stricken, and horrified at what he has done. Bill comes to his aid and tells him he will not let anything happen to his son, and to dig deep to put this accident behind him. Bill expresses that if Liam can’t do it himself, to lean on him.
However, Vinny was just ID’d in the hospital morgue by Finn (Tanner Novlan), so there’s that!
Kudos to both Scott Clifton and Don Diamont for the riveting scenes between father and son within the episode.
So, what did you think of Scott and Don’s performance? How will Bill and Liam be able to continue to cover-up the hit and run of Vinny? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, watch the final moments from the episode below.
Great performances by Scott and Don but we expect nothing less. I am sure that Mr. Bell has more story to tell! And why was Vinny walking along the very road that Liam was driving on? Did he spare his life to put Liam away in prison to free Hope for Thomas? Vinny seemed to show extreme hatred for Liam but maybe he had hoped for just an injury but the worst happened. Stay tuned!
Some how even though I am not a steady watcher these days I have this little feeling somebody whacked Vinny and threw him on the street ! I think we all thought Liam shot old dad and then we dragged Hunter Tylo out of the bushes and made her the bad guy ! Oh my Brad you just are so transparent ! The best actor on this show is the guy who plays Thomas and he will more then likely thrown to the wolves! Oh soap operas hmmm
Of course Liam didn’t hit Vinny. I’m sure it will be revealed that he actually hit a deer. Bill Bell needs to up his game. We are not fooled lol
I have to say, this was Scott Clifton’s best work in a long time. I see him getting an Emmy nom next year for this. You can see Liam’s anguish over the possibility that he killed Vinny when we all know he didn’t. There are so many possibilities on who killed Vinny. My money is on either Thomas or Finn (but why would he do that when he’s a doctor and he lives by the “do no harm” creed that doctor’s live by? I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

I have not really seen any anger or animosity towards Vinnie since the truth all came out. Vinnie was Thomas’s life long friend, though I have never seen or heard of him when Thomas was growing up. In fact his buddy was always Sally, Sr.son, the one trying to take young Sally’s building away from her. I degress, but seems like everyone was accounted for, so we’ll have to wait and see who they drag out of the bushes as Kay just said.
OMG, What was called “rivoting scenes” were just boring and tiresome. Bill being the bully and Liam whining and sniveling as usual. They are both right in a way. Bill for wanting to save and protect his son and Liam for wanting to do the right thing. I guess Bill made the ultimate sacrifice, selling his wonder car to the Sheik. Of course, Thomas will be probably get a lot of attention from the police, though I think Vinnie wronged Steffy, Finn, Hope and Liam the most.I don’t believe in coincidence much, so I don’t really believe Vinnie was just wandering in a place like Beverly Hills. They will probably wring this story out until poor Scott Clifton is all dehydrated, with all the emotions he will be going through.
I learned not to call Liam in a crisis.
I am so sick of punk ass Liam! First, fainting when he realizes Vinny is dead now seeing his excruciating crying and begging to tell the truth about the situation. It was bad enough seeing his agonizing about telling Hope about he and Steffy, but all this crying and sobbing is too much. But Scott is an amazing actor which is why I hate his punk ass character lol!
Mitchell…I feel much the same way. As a woman I have never been able to see Liam’s appeal. But I don’t like Dollar Bill at all. He’s got his own selfish “crimes.” But Especially after what he did to the talented Sally Spectra so he could build a monument to himself. She and her family were the only ones I liked on B&B, and now she is being made the conniving woman on Y&R.

I agree with you on every point.I could never understand what Brooke and Katey saw in Bill. He is totally obnoxious and if I was his son, would never be a dad I could look up to.I also hate what they did to Sally Spectra, she was different back when she was with the previous Thomas, or as she called him, Bucko. I hoped she would be different when she came to Genoa City. I can’t even stand the way she speaks. As for Liam, not the man I’d want for my daughter.
Such a turn of events. I didn’t see this sacrifice of Vinny’s coming or that it would fall into Thomas’s lap like that. I’am not all that surprised at Justin’s betrayal of Bill. I thought the worm would have turned years ago.He probably was waiting for something like this to fall into his lap and couldn’t believe his good luck when Thomas spilled his guts to him.
So now we wait and see how long it takes Thomas to break him down, but in the meantime Justin could at least throw him a hamburger.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy Tells Carter She’s Pregnant, But He Has a Way ‘Out of This Situation For All of Us’
After taking a second pregnancy test on the Friday, September 12 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) freaks out ever more when it come back positive, too. Leading her to shriek, multiple times over, “Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m pregnant!”
As previously reported, CBS and The Bold and the Beautiful have already confirmed that in the story, the baby Steffy is carrying is Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) which kicks-off their 40th season of storytelling. However, could there be a twist down the line that it’s really Finn’s (Tanner Novlan)?
On Friday’s episode, Carter gets a text from his wife, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) telling him she wants to talk more about surrogacy later, since she cannot carry Carter’s child, and the couple was exploring ways for them to have a baby. Suddenly, Carter flashes back to waking up next to Steffy on the couch in the office after they had sex the night before in their drunken stupor.

CARTER DEVISES A PLAN
Then, Steffy comes whirling into the office demanding to talk to Carter right away. Steffy is informing Carter that she has to tell Finn about their night together more than ever! A confused Carter asked her what changed, when they agreed to keep their one night together a secret? Carter tells her if she reveals what happened between them, it will tear about all of their lives.
Carter thinks nothing will come of their “mistake” if they keep their mouth shut. Steffy responds, “You’re wrong.” She goes on to explain that she’s pregnant! That declaration stuns Carter and we fade to black.
However, it was the preview for the action next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, that aired at the end of Friday’s episode and is now all over B&B’s social media that is the real tell-tale sign of where this story is heading.
B&B SPOILERS
In a scene airing next week, Carter says to Steffy, “I have a way out of the situation for all of us!” This comes on the heels of Daphne telling Carter she wishes she knew someone who would be their surrogate. So, putting two and two together, it looks like Carter will come up with the idea to pass Steffy and his baby off as the surrogate child of Carter and Daphne.
Look no further than the official B&B spoilers for episodes airing Monday, September 14- Friday, September 18 and the teaser lines of the Steffy/Carter baby drama to back that up below.
Monday, September 14, Steffy’s news complicates things even more with Carter, while on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 Daphne is hopeful she and Carter will be able to find a surrogate and Carter rushes to stop Steffy. On Wednesday, September 16, Carter makes a passionate plea. and by Thursday, September 17, Daphne can’t believe Carter’s suggestion. Then come Cliffhanger Friday, September 18, Steffy is caught off guard.
So, what do you think how it look to be Carter who originated plan to keep the truth from ever coming out, that he and Steffy had sex, and the best way to do this is for Steffy to be the surrogate for Carter and Daphne’s child? How complicated will the cover-up eventually get? Will Steffy fall in love with the baby making this whole thing untenable for her? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section, but first check out B&B’s video teaser for next week’e episodes below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?
On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.
On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.
The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.
Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.
It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.
At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.
So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with?
