The Bold and the Beautiful’s Scott Clifton Delivers the ‘Power Performance of the Week’
The character of The Bold and the Beautiful’s Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) has been on the receiving end of plenty of shade over the years on social media, in part, due to his often seemingly wishy-washy back and forth nature when it comes to the loves of his life, Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood).
However, this past week on the CBS daytime drama series, in the more than capable hands of three-time Daytime Emmy winner Scott Clifton, you kind of found yourself rooting for Liam, when, after confronting his wife Hope on her feelings for Thomas (Matthew Atkinson), she out and out lied to him in an attempt to smooth over her now rocky marriage.
This past Friday’s episode, saw the continuation of the confrontation scene where Liam, drinking at the cabin, asks his wife for the truth. Does she have feelings for the one man he told her to stay away from? This man also happens to be the man that kept their child, Beth, away from them for months (which he points out). Part of the problem is that Liam learned about Hope’s feelings for Thomas from Steffy, because she witnessed it. When Liam asks Hope about her feelings, she gets defiant and says she is feeling ‘ambushed’ and tries to spin it; that this is all Steffy’s interpretation.

Liam says he truly wants to believe her, but Hope cannot seem to say the word he needs to her. Liam thinks she may be in denial. Hope says she finds it insulting that both he and Steffy know her feelings better than she does.
It is then Liam points out that the one thing that he asked her to do was to keep Thomas out of their lives. Hope goes on to say that her fashion line needs Thomas as a part of it. Liam can’t comprehend why Hope is not seeing that this is about their marriage, not her career.

At this point, and in emotional moments, Liam firmly and angrily tells Hope that he cannot have Thomas living rent free in his head anymore. Hope says he always trusts whatever everybody else says about her. Fed up with her denial, he asks again, if she has feelings for Thomas or not.

Hope, then in tears, tells her husband “No.” She loves only him. As she is telling these lies, Liam breaks down in tears. They end up in an embrace, but the damage is done. How can Liam not trust his gut on this? How can Hope go on denying her feelings for Thomas?
In this soap opera version of “Scenes from a Marriage”, acting counterpart to the always great, Annika Noelle, it was the levels of Scott Clifton’s performance that illustrated to us, once again, that when given the material, he rises to the occasion every single time. For these reasons, Michael Fairman TV gives the ‘Power Performance of the Week’ honors to Scott.
What did you think about the scenes between Liam and Hope? Do you agree with our pick for Scott’s work as ‘The Power Performance of the Week’? Comment below.
He was great yes, but so was she. It’s impossible to single one of them out in a scene where they were so reliant on each other. Just a powerhouse performance by both of them, carrying a story that is not good. I don’t agree that Hope was lying, she’s in denial about Thomas because she doesn’t understand or like these feelings, she’s fighting them, not acting on them, and she DOES love Liam.
Perfectly said
Totally agree.
They b a great couple together i real life
That’s how I feel. The both of them moved me to the point of watery eyes. What a tear jerker. And you’re right, Hope does love Liam. But Liam like Brooke are ALWAYS, like vultures. It’s the same thing, hounding Hope with; did Thomas do this or that? Or has Thomas said this or that. Constant! I’m surprised those too HAVENT FALLEN into one another’s arms.
People are always harassing those 2 on both sides of the spectrum. Families. I feel for them.
Exactly exactly!! And it was a great performance by them both !!
If she love him she needs to show more consideration toward him before he jumps back in the bed with Steffy
So true.
Steffy husband,and Hope. Liam ,and steffy good match !
Yes I agree! She has done nothing wrong in there marriage! She has not acted on those feelings! As we have learnt on her encounter with her mother she has not acted on them nothing like her mother Brooke who we know always does!!
I disagree. She has lied since day one. Told him she would never ok working with him again or even having him back at Forrester. Gave Liam her word. Then turns around and works with him. Goes to show right there that her career is more important than her marriage and her kids. She has been a bold face liar all thru this pathetic story line. Wanting to sleep with that dog. Him and his mother need to take a long walk off a short pier.
Totally agree, Hope is dangerous.
I agree. I am so sick of this story line. Beating a dead horse. I am sick of Taylor and her giggling self. Steffy and her meddling self. She has always been jealous of Hope. Steffy is more like Brook than Hope.
Agree with every word!
I cannot imagine this “world renowned” psychiatrist is manipulative & willing to go for a man even though she knows where the heart of Ridge’s heart is.
I agree Hope should come clean with Liam . And Taylor is trying to set Brook up with Deacon, so she can go after Ridge
I hope they get rid of Taylor she’s just a whiney baby she wants Ridge but I think Brooke and Ridge belong together
I don’t like Taylor.She is not any good.She is sneaky like rat.I hope Ridge and Brooke get back 2gether
Me too,trying to get Brooke a boyfriend so she can get Ridge .
So true!
Oh they are destiny between how many marriages has Brooke had? She’s been married to every one of the Forrester’s such an angel!!! And every man in between! Sleeps with daughters husband oh she’s the optime of a lady!!! NOT SHE HAS NO ROOM TO TALK ABOUT ANYONE
I so agree Taylor is trying to set Brooke up. But Hope knows deep down that her feelings are not real its just because of how Liam is acting he is causing this situation
Lady,
It’s because everyone , mostly, her own mother has put these ideas and concerns in her head. She loves her husband but is crushing on Thomas which is not unusual in some cases.
Please don’t change Hope..to be like that keep Liam and Hope together
I hope she’s just like Brooke! Watch and see, she will be!
Yes,Liam is the best actor on this show.Also Hope and Bill.But Liam rocks his part.
Oh he is not! Steffy is!
Agree except for Hope although she has well been acting the part she has been given, I am really tired of her moping and crying…also. of fantasizing about Thomas while she’s making “love” with Liam.
Just one more comment…Taylor is disgusting!
Yes Chelsea ~ well said!
Hi I’m Grace Hyman I don’t understand why Hope always have to be on the receiving line all the time and Stephanie always come out on top all the time I don’t like that let Hope be happy sometimes
Hope brought this all in herself, but she can’t help how she feels, that’s why she is overcompensating with Liam. He not getting it, a woman would pick up on that very quickly
If she truly loves Liam then QUIT WORKING WITH THOMAS, period end of question!
Patricia – Right on!
The only Forresters I came stomach, are Zende and Eric and neither one gets screen time. When Steffy is not meddling in Ridge’s love life, she is another favorite. This mess with Thomas and Hope makes NO sense. Thomas made Justice’s niece crash her car. He had a lookalike mannequin of Hope, which is as freaking as you can get and then framed Hope’s mother. This is the man she is lusting after?
Not to mention blackmailing everyone into silence over the baby Beth situation…like who does that. This is a sick twisted storyline. This beats out everything Liam has ever done to Hope…and he has hurt her profoundly in the past. I’ve honestly stopped watching. But the commentary shows up on my news feed so I catch a glimpse every now and then. Throw the whole writing crew away already
I have almost finished watching tired of the same thing over and over bring some drama back
Yes lusting after a man that kept her baby away from her. Not good.
I hope they make hope see that her line doesn’t need thomas what about RJ he’s just as good make her see she doesn’t need thomas and Liam is her destiny.
Every seems to forget at alot of these times, Thomas was suffering from a brain tumor!
Nah,he knew exactly what he was doing ….he gets no passes ….dude is a monster disguised as a man.
Thank you!!
Yes, Thomas had a brain tumor, however, since then, he’s made the CPS call on Brooke and once again, drug his son in the middle of it. He’s not the victim here! I hope they don’t change Hope to fall Thomas due to all he’s put her through….on the other hand, Thomas is a one woman man when it comes to Hope because she’s who he wants. I like Liam, but the moment there’s a problem, he turns to Steffy. Soap Operas are about drama and these 4 know how to bring it!!! It’ll be interesting to see where this storyline leads!
Exactly,everything Thomas has done to her ,Liam and Brooke,how can she stand to be around him…. he’s never gonna change …..I wish he would go back to New York and never comes back.
And he can take is mother with him. What a waste she is. She has shown the last couple days that she is where he gets his conniving from. Suppose to be a good friend to Brook, yet is pushing Deacon to go after Brook so she can be with Ridge. And her with Ridge today made me want to puke. And the showing of her and Ridge in Monaco again, how many times do you have to show that. We get it already, she’s a female version of Carter. A sneaky, conniving, back stabbing dog.
It doesn’t make any sense why she would ruin her marriage over Thomas
I think they both did okay but I am so sick of this thing with Those 3 like its no other actors in the show!.I don’t like the fact that this storyline has her having feelings for him period when he has done some awful things.. Move on please..I’m tired of Liam crying and making out to be a victim knowing that he can’t stay away from Stephanie and its ok ??
Say it again so tired of this I’m bout to stop watching it when it’s like this I will stop drag ons and truly how u have feelings for T after all done did yep Hurry up Tired of Brooke Taylor and this revive the B&B
Both did great even though Hope is lying. Steffy needs to stay out of their business. Always trying to act like she is perfect. She gets on my nerves. Always in everyone’s affairs stay in your own Steffy.
U are so right
So true
I wd have a few choice words for steffy
The looks she makes when she’s talking bout people. Wish Finn could see her true colors
I agree never liked STeffy never will Liam is a dog and will end up back with STeffy sooner or later
When Liam go back to Steffy that’s my signal to stop watching it calling all my friends to stop watching it to let some of the other stars play sometime we’re tired of watching the same people get over it and move on!!!
That’s so true.
indeed
Hope was doing fine then high and mighty Steffy told Hope she needed to bring back Thomas cause her line didn’t do good if she didn’t she was going to have to get rid of her line and fire her she didn’t tell Liam that though oh no no she needs to mind her own business and take care of her own shit she has always been in Hopes and Liam’s business trying to cause trouble you writers need to leave Hope alone and get stuff wound up with Steffy and Finn for a while I do not watch the show like i use to i got so mad at Steffy when she was talking to Liam and then i wanted to put my foot through the television and now i guess here we go with Brooke and Ridge everyone on the show has been married or gone to bed with each other except Finn he hasn’t been there long enough but give it time Hope and Liam are good people and really love each other so leave them alone and get busy with high and mighty Steffy it’s time to i am for Liam and Steffy and i will always be in their corner and go to war for them
Trudy
Steffy just told Liam the truth!!!
So true spoken.i don’t watch it as much now either. Because of the same reason. It’s sickening.
Hope & Liam or Steffy & Liam?? You kinda saud both
They’re making it like thomas is the only one that can design clothes what about Ridge and RJ and zende. Somme of his designs not so great. Hate this story line.
Or Hope can work somewhere else. They act like they have all be working together when they really don’t like each other.That part doesn’t make any sense to me in my opinion.
They make Liam out to be a saint. It was okay when he was bouncing between Steffy and Hope
You can’t even compare those two story lines. Liam has never done the crap that Thomas has done,no way, shape or form. Those writers are horrible IMO .
I don’t care for Liam he’s a winer
I agree
I agree. I was about to quit watching. Half hour minus commercials of whining. Im glad for the change finally!!
I agree get off this story line. It’s the same thing back and forth. Let Liam and hope be a family and stay together. For Pete’s sake do something different. Quit interfering in their lives. There is more people on the show. And no Hope does not need Thomas for her line!!!!! Get on to something else. The writers could do better.
I agree, he’s always cheating on hope with stephy, maybe he’s due payback
Liam is and always will be paranoid jerk. He has always hated and been jealous of Thomas.
.If Hope is smart which she is not,she’ll show him the curb, and follow her heart Go with Thomas!
Paranoid for good reason. He knows the trouble whatever it may be comes with Thomas’s name behind it (usually). I think the story line of Thomas and Hope needs to end forever. This was a sick story line from the beginning. These are step siblings. Doesn’t matter that they are not blood, it’s still family.
I agree. Actually, there’s a lot of that “incestual business” going on with many characters in this soap. The dredging up of affairs from the past gets so tiring for us fans. The friendship between Brooke and Taylor is almost sickening. Could we get a new love interest for Ridge and Dollar Bill? Let’s let Sheila escape from prison, but keep her from Deacon. He needs a new house and new love. Honestly, I think my child could write a better script than the ones that are thrown at us.
We need a new love interest for Thomas,Carter,Ridge,Brooke,Taylor and Dollar Bill
Nah,Thomas needs to die or leave town for good ….he has done too,much bad crap(stalking,trying to kill his own son to keep him from telling his dirty secret ,kidnapping,blackmail and framing people…..he needs to go!
I agree
Yes.Lying is just more trouble
Yes I totally agree with you!!!
Ick…
Really, he is a Spencer, Dolla Bill’s son he should be leary of the dressmakers competition and love of Logan.
Ok yeah if he’s still wanting to be a wuss.
It was a great scene I wish Hope would stop lying and own up to her feelings for Thomas. Liam have cheated in the past but he has changed and being committed to only his wife. I don’t like the storyline of Hope thinking about Thomas it’s crazy and it seems so is she
I Just wish it was on for an hour!
Me too
I do to
Agree 100%
I am very disappointed with this story plot rehashing the old problems with Thomas in this relationship. I predict Liam will interfere with Stephanie’s relationship too.
I want to see more of Sheila
I love Scott Clifton. I also love the storyline…after all this is a soap opera!
I totally agree with you
Like this storyline hope always had feeling for Thomas am glad that they are writing it like this she has always like the attention that he gave her but when he stopped that’s when her true colors came out come on fans you all are better than this didn’t you all see this coming for a long time that’s why they let her go through with this with him I seen it when she thought that she had killed him in the boiling acid and when he was fixruted about that look.alike doll come on y’all she like ever min of it think about it at least with Thomas she Kno what she’s getting with Liam it’s her and Steff keep it going writers you know what you are doing sorry fan still love you all
Hope is a liarer she is lieing to herself and liam Steff she just got caught but Thomas can tell the difference in her when no one else can see but sometimes your lies can get you caught even she had to tell brooke the truth about her feeling that’s even enough for the viewers to believe that she has feeling for Thomas one thing we all can agree on you can run but you can’t hide who you feel for or your feeling they soon has to show and that’s what is happening to her you can’t control who you love or going to love once the feeling are their when she gets around Thomas her feeling are so strong you can see that she is ready to expose cause it their sorry but the truth will come out she is being real sneeky but you can’t hide feeling especially when the feeling is strong and the way she went on about his body and when she made love with Liam Thomas was on her mine but blame her mother these are her own feeling brooke has nothing to do with this blame her feeling and the lie that she’s trying to hide the truth always provell yes Steff needs to mine her business but she is right Thomas is not doing anything this time why blame him the blame needs to go we’re it fix and that’s with hope
I agree,but,some stuff that they write are unbelievable and not realistic.
They were both great but I wish the writers would leave them be. I don’t know why they wrote this script Thomas has done everything to them. Steffy was the one that cheated with Bill but hasn’t cheated ,maybe she’s having thoughts but she never broke her vows to Liam so maybe steffy wants Liam for herself and Finn too
I can’t stand Liam. Let’s look at his history: he got Steffy and Hope pregnant in the same year. He went back and forth with Steffy, Hope, and in between Ivy. He mistakenly thought Hope was cheating on him, got drunk and slept with Steffy while married to Hope and Steffy was with Finn resulting in another pregnancy for Steffy that required a paternity test. Thank God it was Finn’s. Liam was complicit with covering up at hit and run with his father for weeks and no one ever mentions that Thomas learned the truth and got both of them out of jail. Liam also has competed with his “bro” Wyatt twice for the same woman and even ran to Paris to try to stop Wyatt from marrying Hope. Thomas has done horrible things just as Liam, Steffy, Brooke, Ridge, and Bill have. Thomas is taking responsibility for once and seems to really have changed this time. He has had a couple of chances to cross the line with Hope and hasn’t. Liam and Hope have the chemistry of wall paper paste. Liam is an insecure, spineless, hypocritical, self righteous crybaby. If Thomas continues to prove he has changed he and Hope have great chemistry and you know he would never cheat on Hope. I wish Hope would throw up every other character’s sins in their face and point out they have no right to judge anyone based on their past behavior.
Well, he used to do the same thing when he would go back and forth between her and steffy. Carma!
Who falls for a man or let alone wants to work in close quarters with a man that has hidden the fact that her child was still alive,stalked her ,attempted to kill her and was going to kill his own son that she and Liam has adopted to keep him quiet about all the evil crap he was doing and planning to do pertaining to her….no one? The story line doesn’t make any sense IMO.
Please keep them together all marriages go through ups and downs they’ve had plenty as someone who’s been married 52 years find new avenues
i will give it up to scott clifton but this is hands down the worst storyline of the year on any of our shows .The fact that hope has any interest in thomas based on all he has done is an insult to the actors and the audience make it stop and while we are at it send middle school taylor away as well we obviously are seeing thomas is a hot mess thanks to his psychologist mother
I DO agree with one thing…that is get rid of Taylor. She has the personality of an immature teenager.
I agree 100%. Today’s scene with Ridge was sickening. Can someone tell me why the hell is she always at Forrester. Has no business being there. Doesn’t work there. Somebody find her a job so she can earn enough to go back where she came from. Tired of her being in everybody’s business and now instigating a plan to push Deacon in Brook’s life. With friends like that Brook doesn’t need any enemies.
rich,
Shouldn’t you have said psychological mother?
There was an implicit promise made never to do this storyline again. His performance has been repeated a thousand times. In order for a performance to be the performance of the week it should be original.
People don’t take fans seriously. This soap opera is lucky to be hanging on to The Young and the restless bootstraps. There seems to be a dismissal of what happened to Days of our lives. The story lines got bad the viewership got bad the network couldn’t afford. What makes you think that cannot happen to The bold and the beautiful?
GET NEW WRITERS! The storylines of EVERY character is boring and TOTALLY unbelievable. It would be no great loss if this soap was canceled.
I totally agree with the majority, I’m sick sick sick of BB, Taylor please get rid if her she at Forester Creation more than working her fake profession which she’s awlful at.. Steffy mind your business stay out of Liams & Hope’s business, The Latest story line sucks with Hope lusting over Thomas uggh!!!
Extremely Powerful Performance.
Epic Scott Epic!!!
Liam was great. Have not seen that in him before. Hope needs to tell the truth (the truth shall set you free lol) and,Liam needs to stop telling and going to Steffy.. Keep her out of their business. His only concern shld be Kelly. How can anyone forgive Thomas for what he did to them personally especially the secret of Beth. Let him work from home.
Absolutely he’s awesome -not too bad to look at either.
I, for the first time in years, actually choked up. It was a great scene and bravo to them both, I was really hoping Hope would just come to her sences after wiping away his tears.
Yes, it’s about time Scott Clifton was given a strong dialogue which DOES entitle him to this award!
I agree. He was awesome. Glad to see him taking the upper hand with Hope. She is definitely not considering his feelings.
This story line is sick. It is like having someone who ran away from their abusive ex-boyfriend/husband and finding peace…just totally forget everything mentally and physically that occurred. These women that do go back are sometimes killed. See my point here?! It’s disgusting.
Liam broke my heart it was like hearing his heart break along with mine
Yes, I Completely Agree. Scott Clifton was So Amazing! Liam broke my heartand set it afire❤️!
Because it was a Great Performance. A Real tear jerker. Liam is a Sweetheart. He has a backbone.
He is a Very patient husband who adores his wife.
But LIAM! You need to set Your Hope ABLAZE!
She needs some of that bad boy to come out of YOU
LIAM! Liam, you need to make Hope feel More excited about You! Than her work. Because to tell you the truth the Thomas n Hope thing going on between Those to were pretty..good! Exciting a new.
Fresh.
I agree! He was fabulous!
Love Scott Clifton, but I’ve had enough of Liam (and Brooke) and their subliminal sexual obsession (you heard me) over Thomas.
Clearly both Brooke and Liam have sexual cravings for the guy, and it’s about time “The Bold and the Beautiful” stop dancing around the subject and get like Nike: Just do it.
Brooke screwed Thomas a long time ago
I’m ready for it to be over! Liam needs to grow a pair, set up a camera to see for himself, and go to Rome with the family for the photo shoot
Yes
Scott as Liam was excellent
Sick of the story line, need new characters to join the show, NEW WRITERS, PLEASE! TIME to open the windows and let the fresh air and NEW Ideas IN!!!
Don’t any people who comment here use punctuation??
I think Liam is so in love with Hope that he still believes her over everyone who is saying the truth about Hope and Thomas. I think Liam should get his head together and confront Thomas. I like Hope and I like Liam, but they need to meet other people. This thing with Brooke and Taylor and Ridge is getting so OLD. Either pee or get off the pot people.
Please get rid of Brook! Put Steffy back with Liam. Send Hope somewhere!
Taylor is the one that needs to go
I will 2nd that. ASAP
Yes I agree. Love his acting this week.
Totally agree, about Scott Clifton.
He always puts on a great performance for his audiences
Liam liked to whine and he plays the character perfectly. Not sure if it’s anything different
Hope needs to come clean. Let find a new love and NO Steffy
Tired of Hope/Thomas….Find someone else for Liam….Hope not a good actress
He is a POS and disgusted but this is good old Brad let’s make everybody the bad guy but him he will be in bed with Steffy in two seconds . Finn will soon be out of the picture just makes me throw up and now Taylor the bad guy just throw Brooke and disgusting Ridge wanna be back together then please for all that is holy just shut it down
Yes the scene between Liam and Hope was pretty powerful but lets get real. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree and Hope will sleep with Thomas the first chance it is presented. I feel sorry for Thomas because he’ll be caught up with Hope all over again. Brooke love Ridge but it didn’t stop her from sleeping with all those other men. Hope does have the bad boy syndrome. Liam will be crying more than he is now in the very near furture. My opinion, but let’s see what the writers have in store for miss goody two shoes.
Steffy is soooo jealous of Hope she wants Liam back, writers take a break..so stories every 20 or so yrs.
Love this show. Liams performance this Friday was spectacular.
Liam was so good ,I’m beginning to not see Hope’s character anyway but disgusting.
Scott was well worth watching when he was supposedly very angry and at the end of copping CRAP. His part is usually too sookie. Good acting.
I am just really worn out from this whole Thomas,Hope,Liam repeat. Throw in Ridge and Brooke and it feels like reading the same chapter of a book over and over.
Dedicated fans deserve a new story line.
It’s about time…Liam is always so lame..a big cry baby
It’s about time he grew some…
He’s always so lame and a big cry baby whiner…
Hope lied to Liam!! And she’s justifying Steffy’s reason for saying something. Hope wasn’t going to say ANYTHING to him because she wanted to keep excusing those moments she was having with Thomas. Hope isn’t in denial, she knows how she feels. When things are good with Liam she wants someone else, remember Wyatt?? I can only imagine how she would feel if Brooke was the one who spilled the beans about her attraction to Dressmaker Jr.
General Hospital
GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ric’s History of Jealousy Where Elizabeth is Concerned Has Come Back Around
On General Hospital, Ric Lansing (Rick Heart) is about to fall back into dangerous old patterns by the foreshadowing during the Wednesday, August 19 episode. After first coming to see his brother, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and telling him of his plan to propose to Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) his longtime love tonight, Sonny has concerned.
Next, Sonny reminds his brother of what has happened in the past, when things have gone south with Elizabeth and wonders if it’s too soon for him to propose to her. What Ric did not tell Sonny is that he has seen the developing closeness between Sonny’s son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Elizabeth, which is propelling his urgent need to propose.
Meanwhile, Dante ran into Elizabeth at the park during a break from their mutual team softball games. She needs help with a bookcase after the game at her house. Dante wants to put it together for her. Later, Dante arrived at Elizabeth’s house, limping after injuring his knee during the game. Head nurse Liz wanted to check out the injury as much as Dante protested, which required him to take off his pants.

RIC BEGINS TO UNRAVEL
Outside Elizabeth’s widow, Ric arrives with a bouquet of roses and the engagement ring. When he leers through the widow he is shocked to see Elizabeth rubbing Dante’s leg while Dante is in his boxer/shorts. He storm troops into the house, demanding to know what is going on here? Both Elizabeth and Dante look surprised by his reaction. In the pick-up of today’s Thursday, August 20 episode (see GH video teaser below), viewers will learn the upshot for all three characters.
A VENGEFUL PAST
As longtime GH fans know, Ric has done some horrible, vengeful things in regards to Elizabeth starting back in 2003 after she lost her baby after Ric’s ex, Faith Rosco pushed her down a flight of stairs. Ric accused Sonny for the accident and to get revenge, Ric kidnapped Carly (who was married to Sonny at the time), and stashed her in a panic room below the house where he was living with Liz.
On top of that, Ric fed his wife Elizabeth birth control pills to keep her from getting pregnant so that they could raise Carly’s baby together after it was born. Eventually, Elizabeth found Carly in the panic room but ended up having a pulmonary embolism. When she woke up in the hospital, Elizabeth was all confused by what happened, and Ric convinced her that her vision of Carly was just a bad dream. Eventually, Elizabeth learned the horrifying truth and divorced Ric.
Years later, Ric noticed the connection between Elizabeth and “Jake Doe” who eventually turned out to be Drew (Billy Miller) A jealous Ric hired Hayden Barnes to show up and claim to be “Jake’s” wife. Elizabeth stepped aside, and when Ric planned to propose to Elizabeth at the 2015 Nurses Ball, Carly exposed his manipulations, and Elizabeth dumped him yet again. And those are just two examples of the lengths Ric will go to for Elizabeth!
So, we ask you, given the history of Elizabeth and Ric, how do you see this playing out with Dante in the picture? How will Ric derail their growing bond? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy and Carter Get Lame Excuses From Their Spouses, and Try to Shake Off Their Night Together
If you caught the Wednesday, August 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, and if you were Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), and your wife, who literally took off, threw of her wedding ring and abandoned their marriage to head to Paris, shows back up saying she overreacted and wants to be with him, would you bother to even take her back?
As for Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), now that Finn (Tanner Novlan) is giving her the spiel about how he took her for granted, how he is so sorry for not listening to her, and that Sheila will never be in their lives again, would you want to listen to that, either, after so many broken promises?
That’s the situation hungover Steffy and Carter found themselves, while still reeling from the seeming fact that they had sex the night before while drunk in the Forrester Creations CEO office.

STEFFY AND CARTER GETS EARFULS
Daphne (Murielle Hilare) doesn’t understand why Carter is being so distant, and he says, “You said I wasn’t family.” She wants to put all of what she said and did behind them and now explore other ways to have a child. Carter seems hurt and annoyed.
Back at the cliff house, Steffy is so upset between sleeping with Carter and getting drunk, and Finn and his mother, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. She tells Finn, “I need you to stand up for me. I can’t live like this. I won’t.” Finn begs her not to let “one terrible mistake” (get it!?) tear us apart.
Finn promised Steffy he will get a restraining order on Sheila if it calls for it. He understands why Steffy is so scared of Sheila after she shot her … and him. In the closing moments of the episode, Finn pronounces how lucky he is to have the “perfect wife.” To which a rattled Steffy in tears goes, “Oh, I’m not perfect.”

STEFFY’S GUILT
Steffy is losing her grip at this moment as Finn says he wants to step up and be the husband he deserves. Along with Daphne, I kind of want to kick Finn to the curb, too. Then Finn lays it on real thick and adds, “You’re pure, you’re honest, you’re loyal.” Steffy interrupts, “Not quite.”
Suddenly a guilt-ridden Steffy says to Finn, “There’s something I need to tell you.” Can she actually get the words out about getting drunk and having sex with Carter …or, will she keep it under wraps so we can have months of the line “one terrible mistake?”
Take a look at some of the scenes between Steffy and Finn from today’s episode below.
Now let us know: would you bother to take back Daphne or Finn, if you were Carter and Steffy? Would you like to see Steffy just blurt out she had sex with Carter to her husband? Weigh-in via the comment section.

On the Tuesday, August 18 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers were tuned-in to see if Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor), who were were both on benders, wound up having sex in the Forrester Creations CEO office.
As the Monday, August 17 episode concluded, Carter and Steffy shared a close moment where it looked like they would kiss. Now in the pick up which starts the morning after, Steffy awakens from the couch in the office, and realizes she has no clothes on and is mortified to see Carter on the end of the couch also naked and under blankets.
In that moment, Steffy realizes they had sex, and begins to unravel to Carter as she scrambles to get dressed: “We shouldn’t have done this. Oh my God, I shouldn’t have done this!”

STEFFY RACES TO GET HOME
Steffy’s panic of the situation escalates when she finds her phone, and sees multiple text messages from her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), desperately trying to reach her. He told Steffy he was on his way home from Monaco.
Suddenly, a hungover Carter speaks up and agrees. He says to Steffy they made a terrible mistake and wanted to talk about it, but Steffy kiboshed any discussion, not dealing with Carter, and racing home to be with her kids and Finn. As a disheveled Steffy ran out of Forrester, Carter stayed behind to straighten up the office and get rid of any remnants of their drunken binge.
Just then, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) showed up as Carter is shocked. She apologized for running out on him, and details how when she got to the airport to board the plane to Paris, she realized she couldn’t leave him. She loved him too much, and asks him to please forgive her and her, “terrible mistake.” Daphne hugs Carter and he looks like a man who has no idea what to do or make of this entire situation in the moment.

WHAT WILL BE THE REPERCUSSIONS OF CARTER AND STEFFY’S DRUNKEN NIGHT TOGETHER?
Cut to: Steffy comes home and runs into her mother, Taylor (Rebecca Budig). She explains what happened with Finn and Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) in Monaco. Next, Steffy details how she took off her wedding ring after Taylor noticed it was no longer on her finger. Just then, Finn arrives. Taylor leaves the two to talk. Finn begs for Steffy’s forgiveness and the episode comes to an end with Steffy facing away from Finn and towards the camera, trying to figure out what to do next. Take him back?
Now the real story begins: it would appear that the intent was to have Carter and Steffy face long-lasting consequences of their drunken night together. So that, Steffy would become pregnant with Carter’s child, which would cause the ripple effect in Carter’s marriage to Daphne, who is unable to carry a child.
One other theory, unless, Carter and Steffy believe they had sex, but they passed out in compromising positions but nothing ever happened? Perhaps one of them, or both will have flashbacks of them carrying on together on the couch? Were they set up? Stay tuned.
So, we ask you. What happens from here? Steffy gets pregnant with Carter’s child? Does Steffy goes back to Finn? Carter goes back with Daphne? They really never had drunken sex? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, take a look below, and a bit of what went down when Steffy and Carter realize what happened between them.
