THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: With Liam’s Life on the Line; is Dr. Buckingham’s Experimental Brain Surgery a $1 Million Money Grab for Her?

Is The Bold and the Beautiful about to pull another “Eric Forrester” and after months of getting a death sentence and preparing to die, he pulls through and springs back to life? That’s what appears is about to go down with in the case of Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) after a sudden turn events on the Tuesday, July 15th episode of the CBS daytime drama series.

First, Bill (Don Diamont) had finally been clued-in that it’s all his fault that Luna shot his son, and that two, his son has had an inoperable brain tumor diagnosis for months and never told him. Currently, Liam has a death sentence. However, Dr. Grace Buckingham (who had been acting strange of late – remember those phone calls that seemed to disturb her?), after hearing that Liam wants to fight to stay alive as long as he can; especially for his daughters, pulls Bill out of Liam’s hospital room.

Grace (Cassandra Creech) tells Bill that she’s been researching an experimental treatment that’s in its early testing stages, but the results have been promising. It’s not something this hospital could sign off on so it would need to be completely on the down-low. Grace says it’s very expensive. Bill says he will give her a blank check, if it will save his son.

Next, the two approach Liam at his bedside. Bill tells his son about Grace’s experimental surgery option. When Grace enters the room, a puzzled and emotional Liam says, “There’s a chance I could actually live now?” Bill interrupts and says, “If you’re willing to take it.” Grace fills Liam in that they need to do this ASAP if it is to work and she already booked her colleague a ticket to L.A. to perform the surgery tomorrow, and booked a private facility to perform the procedure because it cannot be done at this hospital and needs to stay hush-hush.

Bill urges Liam to be as strong as ever, sign the papers, and not pass up this chance to potentially save his life. An emotional Liam signs the paper saying he wants to live. Bil tells his son, “There is nobody braver than you are. Let’s do this.” Liam and his dad grab on to each other as Liam signs on the dotted line.

In this week’s B&B Look Ahead (you can check it out below), Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Bridget (Ashley Jones) are discussing their concerns for what is going on with this procedure for Liam, when Finn says, “This is odd. This is not standard protocol.” We see Liam undergoing surgery. But what is really going on here?

Official B&B Teasers for the rest of the week that on Thursday, July 17, Bill whisks an unconscious Liam away from the hospital and on Friday, July 18 Brooke, Taylor, and Ridge vow to stay supportive and united, unaware of whether Liam will live or die.

Are you pissed that Liam’s life could now be potentially saved? Do you feel cheated out of a heartbreaking story about Liam’s death, even though it would mean the exit of three-time Daytime Emmy winner, Scott Clifton? If Liam wakes up, will his mind be altered and not be the same Liam we knew? Weigh-in via the comment section.

At this point, it’s time for Scott Clifton to return to General Hospital as Dillon Quartermaine!

Yes please!

I think that this has all been an elaborate set-up by Dr. Buckingham to get her hands on a million dollars; Liam never had an inoperable brain tumor! And, this doctor with the experimental surgery never picked up an instrument in the operating room; it was all Buckingham! He’s probably not even a doctor! Time will tell, but that’s my opinion.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?

Published

We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!

B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.

On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.

At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.

When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.

So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.

What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.
