B&B-Schockmoment: Liam Flatlines! What’s Behind It?
It wasn’t even Friday, but Bold & Beautiful delivered a helluva cliffhanger at the tail end of its April 3 episode (recapped here).
After reading Bill for filth for his shortsighted freeing of double murderess Luna, Liam quit his job at Spencer Publications and shrugged off his father’s threat to take away his trust fund.
“Liquidate it,” Liam said. He’d never wanted money, anyway, he’d wanted a dad that he could love, and that sure wasn’t Bill anymore.
Sick of having truth bombs dropped on him, Bill left for a meeting, telling his son not to be there when he got back. And in a way, Liam won’t be there.
Alone, his vision blurred, and he collapsed, hitting his head on the coffee table as he went down. Was Liam dead? No, we learned a day later.
He got up and made it to the front door, only to collapse again. After being found by ex-wife Steffy, he was rushed to the hospital, where he — ack — flatlined!
Was this really the end?!?
Scott Clifton has spent so much time on the backburner lately, he could have mail delivered there. But the show wouldn’t kill off the three-time Emmy winner’s character, would it? Our hunch? No way. The blow that Liam took to the head will just leave him with some kind of amnesia (as it has done before; remember when Quinn convinced him that they were married?!?)
What will be even more interesting is seeing if Liam’s amnesia is complete or partial. If it’s complete, he could fall prey to the likes of Luna, against whom he had just been railing. If it’s partial, he could wake up mistakenly believing that he’s still married to Steffy or Hope.
If it’s the latter, hey, at least it would give her something to do besides mope about the fact that her coup against the Forresters didn’t stick and her insta-relationship with Carter didn’t stand the test of time. What do you think is going to happen?
Scroll through this photo gallery to see all the characters who would be impacted by Liam’s death. Assuming “Mr. Waffle Man” rebounds, the below photo gallery is full to brimming with potential Liam love interests who could remind him that there’s more to life than trying to keep his father on the straight and narrow.
