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.

General Hospital

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

Josh and Kristen

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

Billy, Sally and Adam

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.

EMOTIONAL PERFORMANCES

Steffy and Finn

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.
