On the Friday, April 18th episode of The Bold and the Beautiful viewers learned just how serious Liam Spencer’s (Scott Clifton) medical condition truly is.

In key scenes, Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech) and Dr. Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) come to see their colleague Finn (Tanner Novlan). In his office, the two women reveal that Liam’s latest scans show a terminal and inoperable mass in his brain.

Liam has left the hospital determined against doctors order to get home for his daughter, Kelly (Sophia Paras) who is excited about the daddy-daughter dance. As Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) tries to explain that Liam can’t make it to the dance, he shows up at the cliff house, clearly not doing well.

When Kelly tells her dad, they missed the dance, Liam says they can have the dance right here, right now. Liam gives Kelly a a little tiara that she loves.  Steffy turns on the music and the lightning ambience.

Suddenly, Steffy gets a text from Finn letting her know that Liam has an inoperable and terminal mass in his brain. Steffy is devastated as she looks on at her daughter with Liam, not knowing how anything will ever be the same again,

Scott Clifton was once again touching in the scenes with Sophia Paras as the father who put his own health and life on the line to make his daughter happy.

So the question becomes, is this the end of the line for Liam? Will B&B kill-off the character? Will somehow the scans be wrong, or improve or will a world renowned brain surgeon save the day?

Share your theories below and let us know what you thought of Liam/Kelly scenes and your reaction to the news of Liam’s fate via the comment section below. But first, check out the moment where Liam makes it to the cliff house with the intent on making it to the daddy-daughter dance with Kelly.

Am i the only one confused as to how an ambulance can show up at Bill Spencer’s building with sirens blaring and pick up an unconscious Liam and no one inside notices an ambulance is outside? Or how Bill Spencer can go back to his office and see a blood trail and not ask gee what happened here? Or how Bridget can see her former brother in law unconscious in the hospital and not alert her sister Hope? Or how the hospital can run all those test and look at surgery for Liam and not notify his next of kin for permission which would be Bill? Or how Steffy could be such a bit**** in the hospital fearful that Liam would die and not notify Bill or Hope about what was going on? Would any reasonable relative ever forgive an individual for not notifying them of this while Liam was unconsciou? My goodness Deacon loathed Ridge but called him when he found Steffy shot. This show is so stupid I can’t even enjoy what was supposed to be a sweet father daughter dance today. Reason 1,0000 why soap operas need new writing blood!!!!

I totally agree. It makes no sense at all!

Lew…to me, NOTHING about B&B makes sense anymore. AT ALL!!!!!

Bottom line this is not a storyline for SC it is all about the character of Steffy once again . What exactly is the character of Bridget doing she never thinks to call her sister Hope who also shares a child with Liam plus I did not know Bridget worked in this hospital .

It was a beautiful scene

I’m going to say it: it’s time for Scott Clifton⏤who is a consummate performer⏤to be set free from The Bold and the Beautiful and to return home to General Hospital. The absence of Michael Corinthos should be the best time to return Dillon Quartermaine to the canvas. Clifton is one of the few actors locked into Bold, replaying the same tired material. He and some others (i.e., Heather Tom) deserve to shine outside of this cesspool of a “soap”.

I agree!

Me too!

It would be great for GH if he did, but until GH get its own house in order (I’m looking at you, current headwriters, and at you too, ABC execs who keep making the show a mess), I’m not sure GH would give him better material. If I am recalling correctly, he has a wife and kids, and as repetitive and silly and utterly ridiculous as B&B is, its ratings are consistently decent, and it has a much better chance of staying the course than GH does, at least until the latter gets its act together. So if I were he, unless he’s thinking of trying to move beyond soaps, I’d say sticking with B&B is a better bet for him, though it can’t be very fulfilling. I can’t watch B&B for more than a week or so at a time, and then I just can’t take the repetitiveness and ridiculousness of it (I will say this: it’s not boring, at least not in the same way a certain related program is), but it seems to have a pretty devoted core viewership that likes it the way it is, so . . .

Pray that they write him off or at the very least make him only able to speak by blowing into a tube.

lol!!!

If I ever hear the words “daddy daughter dance” again it’ll be too soon

it was very sweet of him. But hate seeing Liam leave the show.

Calling B&B a cesspool of a soap is really over the top! The Bold and the Beautiful thumped its competition in the ratings at 2.7 M viewers. Recent writing, direction and acting by the great Heather Tom was certainly Emmy award winning and I expect nominations for this great soap that keeps bringing us back for more. Scott is working on a 4th Emmy win and Brad Bell needs to keep him in the forefront of the B&B canvas, Bold is Back!

Heather Tom’s episode was fantastic. Too bad she isn’t being promoted to be head writer for the show. As for thumping the competition its easy to do so when there is no competition. Its competing in most areas against the 6th hour of news. Put it in the spot where BTG is against established soap General Hospital and we will see just how good the show is.

No, it isn’t, unless by “back,” you mean repeating the same plots over and over and having characters who learn nothing from past actions so they’re stuck in the same cycle of lather, rinse, repeat with no way to get out of it. The Heather Tom episode was indeed top notch, but she’s not in charge of the show, unfortunately.

I like Liam, I wish they would of had more of him . For get Luna. Change Chanel when she’s on.

the way he writes B&B it will probably be a brain transplant

OK…you know what: Either kill Liam off…or…let him have a speedy recovery already!!!!! I mean…IT IS A SOAP!!!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!!

Please do not take him from all f us and the cast that love him.

Please have a new Experimental treatment Dave Liam!!

General Hospital

On the Thursday, November 12 episode of General Hospital, as battles line are drawn by Carly’s (Laura Wright) ex-husband, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and her daughter, Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy), she realizes things are about to get a whole lot worse, and she expressed her fears to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart).

After Sonny came to see Carly to get her daughter to back off of him; especially when Josslyn lit into him in front of nuAvery (Ayla Bullington), Carly is terrified that Sonny could retaliate against Josslyn. Realizing, Josslyn is in danger, Carly won’t sit by and let anything happen to her. She tells Valentin, “I’ve already lost one kid because of that man. I won’t lose another.”

Viewers won’t soon forget the devastation Carly felt when Morgan (Bryan Craig) died in a car bomb explosion back in 2016 because of Sonny’s dealings in the mob in a complex story involving Julian (William deVry) and Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker).

SONNY IS READY FOR WAR

Meanwhile in the aftermath of his visit with Carly, Sonny told his brother Ric what went down when Josslyn disrespected him in front of his own daughter and hurt Avery. Since Josslyn already make it known that she no longer considers herself part of Sonny’s family, he’s decided to treat her accordingly.

Sonnys first step in payback is to take away her support system at JJE by approaching Hudson Parker (Troy Lennon Appel) again, but this time in a much less-friendly way.

Ric points out that this would go against every move Sonny made as a legitimate businessman in Port Charles and would mean he’s back in the mob? Sonny doubles down, saying Josslyn changed the game when she involved Avery. While he showed concern of how bad Carly would feel over all this year, he said he is ready to finish what Josslyn started.

At the Metro Court, Ava (Maura West) is listening to Avery explain what happened between Sonny and Josslyn and how much she hates Josslyn right now, which Ava seems to be OK with.

WILL JOSSLYN’S WORLD BLOW UP ON HER?

Speaking of Josslyn, she is on the pier still after her talk with Hudson and still crying over her confrontation with Sonny and Avery overhearing it, and what she told her sister. Lucas comes across her at the pier while out for his run.

Explaining how badly she feels for what she said about Sonny to Avery, Lucas says that eventually Avery will discover the truth about Sonny. He explains to Josslyn that even though Avery hates her now, she will come to realize that what she said about her father was the truth, and that Josslyn was not lying to her at all.

So, what do you think about Sonny ready to play dirty to take down Josslyn? How will Carly ensure her daughter does not wind up dead? Who do you think is in the right here? Is Josslyn’s vendetta against Sonny justified, at the cost of the relationships with her family? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section.

Bill and Katie

The future isn’t looking so bright for longtime loves Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont), when on the Wednesday, November 11 episode Katie wants Bill to leave and give her some space, and to stay away from her!

Katie explains she wanted none of this, but now her insecurity and fear of Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Bill has made it impossible. Bill pleads his case, “I was just trying to help” by speaking with Brooke. Katie tells him, well he didn’t, far from it, it’s all backfired in his face.

Bill insists to Katie that everything he did was for her and her sisters. Katie isn’t buying it. In her mind, Bill has always wanted to stick it to the Forresters. So what changed? She then asks him point blank, if he is still attracted to Brooke? Bill says “no,” but Katie said she wishes she could believe him. He tries to explain that him getting together with Brooke was to broker peace between the Logan sisters.

THE TRUST IS BROKEN

Katie speaks to how she is building her own company, making something of herself, and Bill says to her, “You don’t have to lose the people that you love to prove that you can win.”

Next, Katie is convinced Bill was flirting with Brooke because he texted Brooke a Stallion emoji (she has a point, no?). That reminded Katie of the worst time in her life when he was having an affair with her sister!

She points out how Brooke destroyed her life and took Will away from her and he was sent to boarding school, so why shouldn’t she strike back? Bill tries to point out again, that Katie is going to lose her sisters. But, a defiant Katie fires back, “If they can’t accept me for who I am … so be it!”

Next, Bill says he doesn’t buy it and becomes very emotional calling his wife, “my Katie”.  However, now in a puddle of tears, Katie says those words can’t fix everything. Seeing he is not getting anywhere, Bill walks towards the door and says, “I will hate being apart from you, but I’ll do it for you.”

He vows to never stop fighting for them. Katie’s says, “Goodbye, Bill.”  The music swells, Bill exits, and Katie crawls into a ball on the couch in a dramatic overhead shot to end the episode.

WEDDING BELLS?

In the same episode, it should be noted that Taylor (Rebecca Budig) asked Deacon (Sean Kanan) to re-propose to her, and this time she accepted.

It looks like Taylor or Deacon are headed down the aisle at some point, but not so fast, because Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) was flirting with Deacon, and she won’t take this news lying down.

Check out the emotional scenes featuring Heather Tom and Don Diamont below.

Now weigh-in: were you touched by the moments when Bill left his house to give Katie the space she says she needed over her feelings of betrayal by her husband and her sister, Brooke? How does this all end? Will Katie end up destroying everything in the process on her way to the top? Will she have a mental or physical crisis in days to come? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section.

DANCING WITH THE STARS: A Shocking Elimination on Grammy Night Leaves Ballroom Silenced

Published

By

In what could only be the stunner of this season of Dancing with the Stars, the Tuesday night, November 1o episode saw one of the heavy favorites Jenna Dewan and pro partner Val Chmerkovskiy eliminated right before next week’s all-important semi-finals for the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy.

Week 9 was Grammy night, where the contestants performed routines related to the Grammy Awards with songs that have either won or been nominated for the music industry’s highest prize.

After each couple performed their usual routine, they had to dance a second time vs, another couple doing the same dance style. Only Harry Shum Jr. and Jenna Johnson earned immunity from having to participate in it.

THE RESULTS

When all was said and done during the results portion of the show; the following couples were deemed safe and will dance another day: Shum Jr. and Johnson, Amber Glenn and Pasha Pashkov, Ezra Frech and Daniella Karagach, Maura Higgins and Mark Ballas, and Connor Wood and Rylee Arnold.

That left former Y&R actress Tatyana Ali (ex-Roxanne) and Jan Ravnik and Dewan and Chmerkovskiy in the bottom two. It was then revealed that Jenna and Val would be going home. The ballroom fell silent and Dewan said her “thank you’s “in the most gracious way about her dance journey.

Dewan is a dancer, having worked professionally with the likes of Janet Jackson (who also popped up in a special message to her former back-up dancer in the episode) while currently being an actress, and appearing as a series regular on The Rookie. Chmerkovskiy has been controversial figure all season especially after being suspended one week after comments made towards judge Carrie Ann Inaba.

BREAKING THEIR SILENCE

This begs the question: did America want the couple gone, because they had an unfair advantage with Dewan’s dance prowess, or did the show want the couple booted off too?

Later, Jenna and Val broke their silence on the elimination to Extra. Chmerkovskiy shared “It’s’ definitely a sad result. I thought we had a great season.” Dewan admitted, “I know this was a particularly tough week for a lot of the online noise … but I know that we went out there and had the best time of our life.”

Val is married to pro dancer, Jenna Johnson, who remained in the top slot on the leaderboard during the competition with Harry Shum Jr. However, she also had a bad week breaking her nose in rehearsal!

Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET and next day on Hulu.

So were you happy, or sad to see Jenna and Val voted off of Dancing with the Stars? Of the remaining couples who do you hope make it from the semi-finals to the finals and hoists the Mirrorball Trophy? Weigh-in via the comment section.
