THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Liam Flatlines! Is His Health Crisis a Mechanism to Reignite the Steffy/Hope Triangle, or Is it Scott Clifton’s Exit Storyline?
Cliffhanger Friday on The Bold and the Beautiful, brought with it the pick-up of the Thursday episode shocker, which saw Liam (after a massive confrontation with his father Bill Spencer), lose consciousness and fall to the floor, as he hit his head on the way down.
On the April 4th episode of the CBS daytime drama series, Liam (Scott Clifton) somehow manages to get back up off the floor and stammers around for his footing inside Bill’s (Don Diamont) living room. He then notices he has blood dripping from the back of his head. Scared and confused, Liam makes his way to the front door of the house, only to pass out again and hit his head on the cement on the ground in front of the house.
Of course, Kelly (Sophia Paras) is waiting to have father/daughter time with Liam, and is hanging out with Finn (Tanner Novlan) at the cliff house. Meanwhile, Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is worried about Liam and how he has taken the news that his father, Bill kept a convicted killer and her kidnapper under house arrest at his home.

Hope (Annika Noelle) is talking with her father, Deacon (Sean Kanan) at Il Giardino about the whole Forrester Creations takeover and the fallout with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). She begins to realize things really went south for her after she served Liam with divorce papers, and continues to note what a good man and a good father he is to his children, Kelly and Beth.
Steffy also reflects on what a good man Liam is, and decides to head out to talk to Bill. When she arrives on the scene, she sees Liam unconscious and bleeding on the ground. She immediately calls 9-1-1. Next, Liam arrives in critical condition in the emergency room where Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech) is on duty.

Grace asks Liam, “Do you know where you are? What happened to you? Did somebody to this to you?” Liam doesn’t respond and Steffy asks why he’s unresponsive. Dr. Buckingham surmises that Liam has suffered an intracranial hemorrhage, which is blood pooling between the brain and the skull that prevents oxygen from reaching the brain. She explains to Steffy that it only takes a few minutes for brain cells to die without enough oxygen.
Next, Dr. Buckingham hollers at the nurse that she needs a CT scan STAT! Steffy tells Liam she’s right here, but suddenly, Liam flatlines as the doctor and the nurse go into life-saving mode, while Steffy cries out for Liam! We fade to black.
The Bold and the Beautiful’s executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell previewed a new story for Scott Clifton in early February in an interview with TV Insider where he shared, “We have a great story for Liam (Scott Clifton) coming up as well, which I am very excited about.”

So, now the discussion becomes, what is the great story? Are we about to get a repeat of the long-running triangle where both Steffy and Hope realize the man for them is Liam and this health crisis dredged up all those old feelings? Will Liam wake up with amnesia thinking he is still married to Steffy Forrester, which will cause major drama in her marriage to Finn on top of his Luna and Sheila familial ties? Will that leave Hope open to pursue Finn, yet again?
Could it be that none of this will proven to be true, and when Liam wakes up he will be having to learn how to exist partially brain-damaged or even from a stroke, or will Liam have a major personality shift, where he may actually have several personalities? Finally, could it be that Scott Clifton has decided to exit The Bold and the Beautiful and this is his final storyline?
Now below share your theories; why did The Bold and the Beautiful give Liam a traumatic brain injury? Comment below.
i dont think he will think he is married to steffy cause how would that work out when she has a husband home he wont be able to go to her house i think he will think he is married to hope cause she was his last wife he tried to get back with her a few months ago plus if shes hiding out at deacons and he wakes up want to see his wife they will have to find her
I rather see him wake up as a person who has finally knows what it is he wants far as his life goes. He already tried dating as he told Steffy but it didn’t work out. It won’t work with Hope either even if the writers have them together.
Team Exit ✓
I’m team exit as well, but not because of the actor, Scott as Liam, but because the B and B storylines are absolutely unbearable.
Still hoping that Daren Brooks takes on the role of Michael Corinthos at GH, and if Scott Clifton were to return as Dillon Quartermaine, then we could get some really good and fun interactions on screen with the two actors, for they play very well off of each other.
But PLEASE do not have this be part of Jacqueline’s storyline to go on maternity leave for the upcoming months with the potential for a reunion of the Liam/Hope/Steffy triangle. That ship sailed at least three cycles ago…
And we do NOT need another “Liam has amnesia” storyline, which reminds me of how he played off of Rena Sofer’s Quinn who is currently on GH – get him to the Quartermaine Mansion ASAP!
While I do NOT watch #Bold any longer having stopped when Brad Bell fired Krista Allen as Taylor a couple of years ago, I truly believe that this is indeed Scott Clifton’s exit storyline. I’m hoping that former #Bold writer Michele Val Jean snaps him up and brings him on board to play firefighter Derek in a recast on #BTG.
That could work too. The Derek/Ashley pairing is not intriguing, though I feel that it may be both of the actors protraying that matchup…
I’d prefer seeing the Dillon Quartermaine character return with all of the Lulu, Dante, Brook Lynn, Chase stuff that is about to explode. That would provide Scott with lots of history to bring into the present situation of Port Charles.
And there also is the passing of Monica that is immenent, may she RIP. The Cardiac Unit looks lovely, and actually looks like new wings in current hospitals.
Krista Allen did relocate to Atlanta, so I’m guessing she will show up on BTG if it is successefully launched/renewed. I only FF thru B&B and do not listen to the dialogue, for it is repetatively painful.
I think the possibilities are endless and we just have to wait and see which Liam we will get. I don’t think he’s leaving the show. Maybe he’ll turn out to be Bill, Jr. exactly what he doesn’t want to be.
It’s possible he had a Stroke, the reason he passed out after Bill left and then he came to, got up, stumbled outside and fell again, where Steffy found him. No one knows the real facts and I hope tests show something happened before he fell and hurt his head.
I don’t think he is leaving. I think something has to come of him and hope..now they are both alone…so this will bring them together pissing stephi off I love it! Anything that pisses off stephy do it!!!
No renewed triangle, please. It wasn’t much fun the fifth or sixth go-around.
Oh please, no more steffy and Liam, no more steffy and anybody. And Taylor is so boring and useless. She needs to go and not come back.

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 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.

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?
