Bill and Liam butt heads, while Hope and Deacon reconnect. Meanwhile, Steffy confides in Ridge.
There are many fatherly moments on the Thursday, April 3 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful. Liam went off on Bill while Hope leaned on Deacon. Meanwhile, Steffy confided in Ridge about her concerns with Luna. This is just the tip of the iceberg in today’s episode.
Daddy Dearest
First, let’s get to Liam (Scott Clifton) and Bill (Don Diamont). His father acted like the male version of Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest. Liam went OFF on Bill about releasing Luna (Lisa Yamada) and then pardoning her. Then, in a shocking twist, Liam declared that he quit working at Spencer Publications. Liam wanted to break out of his father’s shadow and make it alone. He doesn’t want to carry the Spencer name anymore.
Bill told Liam that he was quitting a job that was handed to him on a silver platter. He took one step lower and told his son that he was a lost little sheep. Yes, we agree that Liam is a little bit lost right now. But that was way harsh, Bill. That wasn’t all that was said. Bill laid into Liam about his past and the mistakes he’s caused with his relationships.
This put Liam in a literal tailspin. He tried to share some last words with his father before he left, but he couldn’t. The words wouldn’t come out of his mouth. Liam felt dizzy. He fell down and hit his head on the table. What happened to Liam? Is he going to survive?
I’ll Be There For You
Hope (Annika Noelle) left Brooke’s (Katherine Kelly Lang) house because she was tired of hearing about Ridge (Thorsten Kaye). She already felt betrayed by her own mom. So, she reconnected with her father. Deacon (Sean Kanan) assured Hope that he will always be there for her, no matter what. He also offered Hope the opportunity to stay with him. But will Hope take him up on his offer? Would she want to be around Deacon and Sheila (Kimberlin Brown)? Is she willing to throw her relationship with her mom away?
Walking Free
Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) also needed her father. They connected at their office. Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) received a text from Bradley Baker (Dan Martin) stating that the investigation into Luna’s pardoning was ongoing. Steffy was concerned that Luna’s freedom could impact her marriage. She believed that Finn (Tanner Novlan) didn’t want anything to do with his daughter. Yet, she knows that he has complicated feelings about it. On the flip side, Steffy still has fond feelings for Liam. Is this foreshadowing that Steam could reunite?
Meanwhile, Katie (Heather Tom) spoke to Brooke about the change in Hope’s personality. She almost slapped her mother! Katie hasn’t forgotten. Hope hasn’t been herself lately, and she’s a bit lost, especially now that she’s lost her job. (Maybe she should end up with Liam instead of Steffy.) Do Brooke and Katie have every right to be concerned about Hope? What does this foreshadow? Is Hope headed down a dark path?
