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
General Hospital
Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.
The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.
Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?
Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.
So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?
Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.
Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.
The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.
In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY
Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.
Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.
Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT
Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.
As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!
Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Finn Blows a Gasket After Steffy Reveals She’s Gone Ahead and Become Carter and Daphne’s Surrogate

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.
But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”
Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”
Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.
Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!
“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.
You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.
Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
