THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Liam Suffered Brain Damage? Will He Think He’s Still Married to Steffy?

In the upshot of the biggest cliffhanger from last week from The Bold and the Beautiful, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) was brought back to life by Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech) and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) screaming for him to wake up on Monday’s April 7th episode. Next, Liam was taken to emergency surgery to try to relieve pressure on the brain since he was suffering a terrible bleed.

Later, Liam survives the surgery, but as Dr. Buckingham told Steffy; they released some of the pressure, but he’s not out of the woods just yet. Grace warns Steffy that her ex-husband is still in extremely critical condition.

Trying to piece together what happened to Liam, Grace is looking at his CT brain scans and tells Steffy that she sees there is more than one point of impact on Liam’s brain. Grace tells Steffy if she had arrived a few minutes later to Bill’s house (where she found Liam), he may not have made it. Grace points out, “Liam Spencer owes you his life.”

In tears, an emotional Steffy pleads with Liam to wake up. She tells him about how many people love him and that Kelly and Beth love their daddy so much. But then, Steffy adds, “I need you too, and even though we’re not together anymore, we will always be bonded for life.”

What do we get next ?  A Liam and Steffy greatest hits flashback montage! After her remembrances, Steffy pleads again with Liam to wake up! Steffy takes Liam’s hand and tells him to open his eyes.. Suddenly, Liam begins to come around. Steffy tells Grace, “I think he’s back!” Grace tells Liam he in the hospital as Steffy says, “Liam, Liam, I’m here. It’s me.” In recognition of hearing Steffy, while trying to open his eyes, Liam squeezes her hand as Steffy cries.

So, where is this going? First, no one knows about Liam’s condition except Steffy. She never called Finn, Kelly (who is waiting for her dad), Bill, or even Hope. Second, if the only person with Liam at the moment is Steffy, and he recognizes her voice, it would seem he will wake up with his brain jumbled thinking he is still married to her. If that is the case, does this somehow pave the way for Jacqui’s upcoming maternity leave, since she revealed she is about to have her fifth child come May/June?

It would be great if a different twist is coming altogether that would challenge Scott Clifton, the three-time Daytime Emmy winner, perhaps navigating severe brain damage, and not complete or selective amnesia only. However, the way Brad Bell (executive producer and head writer, B&B) and his writing team crafted Liam’s fall (after having some kind of traumatic seizure where he lost consciousness), he hit his head on his way down to the living room floor at Bill’s, and then again on the cement in front of the front door of the house. That is a whole lot of brain trauma.

Now below, check out a moment from today’s B&B where Steffy tells Liam to “keep fighting.”

Then let us know, what do you hope happens next? Do you think we are about to get a Steffy/Liam redux 8.0, because he will think he is in a different time and place? Might he not know who Steffy is at all? Share your theories via the comment section.

Again, this is why I dropped this show. Brad Bell CANNOT come up with anything new! How many times does this make??!! How many triangles are currently playing out? I think BB writes these ass crazy stories for his own enjoyment and to see how far he can frustrate his audience! Yeah, Steffy doesn’t think to call Bill, Liam’s father or her husband, who is also a doctor??!! Hope, she could care less about, even though she and Liam also share a child!

You are right that it is boring and tiresome. Yet, you have to remember that his father did the same thing at Y&R, which is its DNA to this day. Bill Bell sort of perfected this kind of story telling, to a much less extent but with a lot more success, when he was head writer at DOOL.

We all hear you loud and clear I’m in shock that it’s still on I guess it’s called a habit you can’t kick but yesterday episode was beyond embarrassing . If you read the history of his fathers writing it was always triangles. I heard SC did not want to continue this triangle

His father was a master storyteller. He made you care about the characters, because in the end there was a satisfying payoff. I can’t say that about Brad Bell. Where is the romance building and the suspense? Carter out of the blue tells Hope that he was interested in her. She was shocked and so was the audience! And, how long did that last once Daphne batted her eyes at him?? Yes, I miss the writing of William Bell. He made you want to come back for more.

I paused Y&R for a minute and when it restarted it took me to Bold and the Beautiful. Steffy is still at his bedside and hadn’t called Bill. She is no longer his next of kin, so shouldn’t the hospital have called his father/family?

Steffy and Carter

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.

Jason and Britt

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.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

Steffy

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?
