Bold & Beautiful’s Liam Goes Missing: ‘So Disappointing!’

It seems like it was only yesterday that Bold & Beautiful fans’ jaws dropped over the revelation that the powers that be originally planned to kill off Liam. Now, though the character has cheated death, his storyline seems to have gone to the grave. Ever since he retied the knot with Hope, his appearances on screen have been few and far between.

“So disappointing!” Relevant_Nose_8664 exclaimed on Reddit. “I feel like they are wasting [Scott Clifton].”

Other viewers were quick to second that emotion. “I wish they’d find a spot for him,” said Sunny-Bell102. “I always liked him.”

Could Clifton Return to General Hospital?

Some went so far as to express their wish that the Emmy winner would change channels and return to General Hospital as Dillon. Suziblu22 said she’d “love to see Tracy have her baby boy back even though she never mentions him.”

“Lord knows,” Fickle-Amphibian4208 added, “General Hospital could use an interesting homecoming storyline.” Read Clifton’s thoughts on a Port Charles comeback here.

There Is Hope On the Horizon

Of course, just because Liam isn’t front and center at the moment doesn’t mean that he won’t be again. “This is a huge cast,” Melodic_Low_4990 pointed out, “and so many people haven’t had the opportunity to shine… I don’t mind them focusing on other talent.”

When the show does get back to Liam, he’s well-positioned for a tense storyline: On one hand, he’s staunchly supportive of stepmother Katie as she launches Logan. On the other hand, ex-wife Steffy isn’t going to be thrilled with anything that Liam does to help Forrester Creations’ new competition.

Should Hope jump ship to work with her Aunt Katie, Liam’s position as the man in the middle of the muddle would only become more contentious. Our take? Bring it on!
