For months fans have been speculating about Liam Spencer’s future on the CBS soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful. Now his portrayer, Scott Clifton, finally spoke out about his storyline and future on the show.
In a recent interview withSoap Opera Digest, Clifton discussed his recent story developments. “I’m really, really excited to tell this story, because I’ve never been entrusted with something this weighty before. And I’m really grateful to Brad for having enough faith in me to pull this off.”
Clifton didn’t shy away from the elephant in the room. When asked if this was going to lead to an exit on the show, the actor shared, “They have this adage in acting classes where they say, ‘Don’t play the end of the scene,’ and I think there’s something to that in real life. I’m kind of trying to cross each bridge as I come to it and not think too hard about it. To the fans, I would say, ‘Hey, man, we’re on this trip together! I’m right there with you. I don’t know exactly where this is going. I’m only like a couple weeks ahead!’ I also want the fans to know that whatever happens, this story is being told with such thoughtfulness and delicacy and generosity and love, from the top down. We all really, really care.”
Clifton assumed the role of young adult heartthrob Liam Spencer (then Cooper) in 2010 on the Los Angeles-based daytime drama. Clifton quickly became a fan favorite with his front-burner romantic triangle between stepsisters Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Hope Logan (originally Kim Matula, now Annika Noelle). Clifton found himself within the top 5 appearances on the soap opera from 2011-2021, often ranking second in episode appearances (peaking in 2012, appearing in over 200 episodes).
However, a different story is being told in 2025 as the once front-burner character finds himself relegated to the sidelines with the actor appearing in just 16 episodes out of a possible 75 so far, meaning his character has only appeared in 20% of episodes, as opposed to his peak of 79%.
On screen Liam’s latest story kicked off at the start of this month, when Clifton’s character Liam told his father, Bill Spencer Jr. (Don Diamont), that he was quitting his job at Spencer Publications. After this heated confrontation, Liam appeared to be lightheaded and proceeded to pass out hitting his head on the way down. Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) found Liam and rushed him to the hospital where he had emergency surgery due to a brain bleed. Weeks later, Liam was determined to be there for his daughter’s father-daughter dance. Thus, against medical advice he left the hospital. Shortly after, Liam’s test results arrived, and his doctor Finn (Tanner Novlan) realized the reason for Liam’s pain and suffering was due to an inoperable mass located on his brain. Finn located Liam at Steffy’s and shared with her Liam’s prognosis. Steffy told Finn that she wanted to be the one to break the news. On April 21, 2025, she shared the heartbreaking news with her ex-husband. Now Liam is struggling with this revelation and must now figure out how to proceed.
Clifton’s soap credits also include General Hospital and One Life to Live.
Fans will have to continue to watch to find out if this truly is the end of Clifton’s time on The Bold and the Beautiful, or just the beginning of his next storyline.
The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays at 12:30 p.m. EST on CBS and streams daily on Paramount+.
