The Bold and the Beautiful just dropped a major bombshell—Liam is fighting for his life again. Between the deadly brain tumor and Luna’s bullet, fans are shaken. Now, Scott Clifton shares his thoughts on whether this really could be Liam’s final chapter.
Shooting Shock, Scott Says Even He Didn’t Expect It
Scott Clifton confessed that Liam getting shot wasn’t something he expected. While viewers were still reeling from Liam’s tumor diagnosis, the shooting came out of nowhere. Clifton admitted, “That was surprising, even to me.” He praised the show’s execution of the scene and admitted it was fun to film.
The actor even revealed a surprising side—he loves special effects makeup. For him, getting bloody on set adds to the thrill. The new way B&B handles guns and blood made the process even more exciting. That excitement, however, comes with some deep emotional stakes as Liam’s life now hangs by a thread.
The Bold and the Beautiful: Liam’s Final Mission: Protect Steffy No Matter What
Clifton described Liam’s decision to shoot Luna as a desperate act to save Steffy. With Luna still holding a gun on Steffy, and Liam already shot, he acted on pure instinct. His line, “I’m a dead man anyway,” wasn’t just powerful—it might’ve sealed his fate.
Scott explained that Liam wasn’t worried about consequences. He wasn’t thinking about jail or guilt. His only focus was Steffy’s safety. Even as he battled shock, blood loss, and a terminal illness, Liam’s goal remained clear: protect Steffy at all costs. For Clifton, that was a full-circle moment for the character.
Will Liam Die or Live to Fight Another Day?
If Liam dies from the shooting, Clifton believes it would be a memorable way to go. It wouldn’t be a tearful goodbye or a slow fade-out. Instead, it’d be a shocking exit no one saw coming. “I think it’s nice when we pull the rug out from under you,” he shared.
But if Liam survives, his battle isn’t over. The brain tumor still looms. And now, his dad, Dollar Bill, enters the scene. Clifton teased that this shooting storyline is the perfect way to bring Bill into the fold. Fans have been waiting for his reaction, and it’s finally here.
Clifton has portrayed Liam for over a decade. While the possibility of death lingers, he’s proud of Liam’s journey. If this is the end, he’s satisfied with how it played out. “If my final line is, ‘I’m a dead man anyway,’ that’s pretty freakin’ cool,” he laughed.
Still, there’s hope that Liam’s story isn’t over. Whether he lives or dies, this twist proves that The Bold and the Beautiful knows how to shock its audience. One thing’s certain—Liam’s name won’t be forgotten in soap history.
