THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL Shocker: Liam Collapses! Did Scott Clifton Just Deliver What Would Be His Fourth Daytime Emmy-Winning Performance?
Leave it to The Bold and the Beautiful to just when you think nothing new might happen, it delivers a surprise that no one saw coming. That was the case on the Thursday, April 3rd episode of the CBS daytime drama series.
In what often happens in soaps when a major confrontation has disastrous or life-changing ramifications for one of the characters, B&B followed suit in a very dramatic way in the father/son showdown between Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) and his son, Liam (Scott Clifton). The two threw everything but the kitchen sink at each other, dredging up their history with Bill scoring some really low blows on Liam throughout.
Liam is beyond upset to learn that Bill housed the lunatic Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada), the woman who tried to kill Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and murdered two people. He quit his job at Spencer Publications over it, and when Dollar Bill threatens to take away his trust fund, Liam doesn’t care, he tells him to “Liquidate it!” Liam says he never wanted Bill’s money. He’d wanted a dad that he could love, but this latest stunt has given him great pause.

Bill needles Liam, “You can’t make it without me.” Liam is stunned by Bill’s action and says, “Do you want to know why I can’t relate to you? It’s because you’re certifiable!” Bill is pissed off and retaliates with, “Do you know who you’re talking to?” Bill screams at Liam that Steffy and Kelly aren’t in any danger because of Luna!
Liam is confused as to what Luna did to Bill to convince him to abandon every principle he’s ever stood for, but that’s because he won’t talk to him. “This is the part where you say, ‘Don’t go, Liam.’ Why can’t you say that?” When Bill doesn’t, it is gut-wrenching for Liam. At one point, Liam gets close to whatever Bill is harboring since he was a child that made him into the man he is today, but Bill close to tears clams up.

When Liam points out that his other two sons have left him – Wyatt left town, and Will (Crew Morrow) went to live with his mother, he still stuck around to earn his respect and for what? Liam says, “I wanted to love you! I wanted to know you, and you won’t let me.”
Bill is sick of Liam’s “Woe is me” attitude all the time and goes in on him that saying, “If you want to leave the company, leave! And don’t come crawling back. Do you understand me?” During the fight, Bill also through in Liam’s face the countless times that he went back and forth between Steffy and Hope (Annika Noelle) and called him, “Mr. Waffle Man.”

An infuriated Bill tells his son that he wants him gone when he gets back as he is late for for a meeting and walks to the front door to leave as Liam suddenly has blurred vision and collapses. However, on the way down to the floor, Liam hits his head on the coffee table!
The episode featured what we now call a, “Scott Clifton special!” Because, if you have watched through the years when Scott delivered one of his three Emmy-winning performances, they contained these very high stakes scenes which have been similar in nature under a completely different set of circumstances. Clifton is the only male actor to win in the Lead, Supporting and Younger Daytime Emmy categories. It should be noted that Don Diamont also delivered as Dollar Bill in these heavyweight scenes between father and son. Could Emmy come to either man in the 2026 competition? Stay tuned.
However, the bigger question is, what is the purpose of Liam going down for the count and bonking his head on the table on the way down? Did Luna drug Liam, as a masterplan to get Steffy away from Finn and back with Liam when she realizes Liam is in dire straits? Will Liam once again as he did years ago have amnesia, (remember Adam?). Could Liam have suffered a stroke and will be unable to take care of himself, or is this the end of the line for Scott Clifton’s character of Liam? Weigh-in on your theories via the comment section. But first, check out a moment from the showdown between Liam and Bill below.
Scott Clifton is a great actor the only decent one left the show needs him and personally something is wrong with Bill but the writers have not figured out yet what it’s going to be. Ugh
It’s time to reunite Hope and Liam and let Hope take care of him. Steffy and Finn aren’t going anywhere and anyone that thinks Liam and Steffy will reunite are just falling into Bells trap
Not hope she’s nothing.
Scott Clifton is an exceptional actor & I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets nominated next year. Mind you, I haven’t watched #Bold since Brad unceremoniously fired Krista Allen as Taylor and I will never tune into the show ever again.
I agree KA got a raw deal for sure I think their was jealousy on the set KA did a great job and got a Emmy nomination I personally think actors were jealous and so Brad kicked her to the curb and then later tried to put knife in deeper by recasting again and this actress just does not fit the Taylor role.
Let’s hope Liam ends up unable to speak anymore
That’s a rotten thing to say! Tell me you are using a phony name, sure sounds like one
I don’t know what is going on with Bill, but he is not acting like himself. Does he have an evil twin? Is there gas pumping into the house affecting people. It was all very odd. Hopefully we find out today.
If Bill is stupid enough to let Scott go, Frank needs to open the purse strings and bring him home to GH.
Oh please let him go I will be the biggest b and b fan if they let him go
Scott always pull out all the stop when he gets the opportunity. He and Don Diamont always have great scenes together. Congratulations to Scott though for providing us with another great episodes.
I like Liam . Hope he’s not off show . But pray he doesn’t go back with hope. If he’s still here.
I eant Hope n Liam back together there were n will always be my favorite couple
Sounds like an exciting turn but we all know B&B will do something stupid with it, even if it is forgetting it in 13 weeks. B&B has really ruined the character of Bill Spencer with his protection of Luna. It was bad enough to seem him romance Sheila though it was part of a trick to trap her. And then writers allowed Sheila and Luna to continue evasion of the law… for heinous acts. I have not watched the show for some time now, but am happy to see Liam stand up to his father. Scott Clifton is a great actor. So is Don Diamont. Wish they had better material. Liam Spencer is Mr. Waffle Man. But Bill Spencer is not even good nasty. His chasing of Steffy always rubbed me the wrong way.
Well, his chasing after Brooke as “her Stallian” was even worse.So Liam Waffles, better than the guy his father thinks he should emulate. Also, something happened to Liam, maybe a Stroke, before he ever hit the L.R floor and than the ground, when he stumbled outside. They are acting like he just got injured.
This is just another restart of the Hope – Liam- Steffy triangle, with Finn thrown in. BB loves triangles, no matter how tired they are.
I can see both actors being applauded for their performances but Bill acting more like the -ick he is ( fill in your own word here),than a dad , I can’t see him getting a reward for that! Liam may be a Waffler, but he’s got heart and what Bll just did, getting that bitch out of prison is insane to say the least. Now that puts Sheila into play again, causing trouble, which is her specialty. They just reawakend a time bomb.
Scott earned that Emmy congratulations Scott and congratulations everyone who won everyone

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.

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

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.

Courtesy/CBS
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?
