Bold and the Beautiful: Liam’s Shocking Coma Shake Up

Bold and the Beautiful sees Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) in surgery fighting for his life, and it looks like he’ll be in a coma for a while, and that could change everything on the CBS soap. We’re going to talk about what game changers might come from Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) shooting Liam and then Liam falling into this coma that’s made even worse by his inoperable cancerous brain tumor.

Bold and the Beautiful: Hospital Drama Unfolds with Liam, Luna, and Sheila

So, right now we have Liam and Luna still in surgery with Sheila Carter’s (Kimberlin Brown) challenging toe surgery wrapped up thanks to Dr. Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech).

In a recent video, I said that Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) and Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) were going to be doing surgery together, which they did. But I said they should have been operating on Liam, and that’s because Li should not have been operating on her niece, Luna. That’s against all medical ethics. But, you know, Brad Bell and his writers don’t care.

So, against all logic, reason, and medical standards, Li and Bridget were trying to save Luna, and they fail. When I said that it should be Grace operating on her, I was operating under the assumption that the writers understood how things worked in hospitals and you’re not supposed to operate on family.

Meanwhile, Dr. John Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) operated on Liam, which also technically probably shouldn’t be happening because they are basically family. However, there’s no blood or marriage tie there, so I can let Finn operating on Liam slide. But it won’t go well. Although Finn does save his life.

Steffy’s Outburst and the Blame Game: Bold and the Beautiful Recap

Liam is right now a vengeful sort of hero for shooting lunatic Luna basically and you know when she was unarmed and he saved Steffy Forrester‘s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) life as a result and can I say I was more than a little annoyed when Steffy yelled at Sheila your granddaughter shot Liam. Uh hello that is Steffy’s stepdaughter that shot Liam and Finn’s daughter and he was in the room too.

So, why wasn’t Steffy yelling at Finn? Why was she trying to blame this all on Sheila?  Sheila actually saved Steffy’s life like a minute before that. But she was lashing out as usual. That mouth on her is why Luna was ready to shoot her. Steffy is incapable of zipping her lips even when things would be safer for her if she would shut her face. But anyway, I don’t dislike Steffy most of the time. But sometimes, man, she needs to put a sock in it.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Coma Predictions and Leaked Information

Anyway, so a very reliable leaker said Sheila was shot in the toe, Luna dies, and Liam ends up in a coma from this ordeal. I published a video on that several days before this came out. And so far, it’s confirmed about Sheila’s little piggy. Another one bit the dust. And in a leaked clip for Thursday’s episode, Poppy Nozawa (Romy Park) saying she’s glad Luna died. So that’s confirmed.

So I’m willing to bet that the leaker was right on all three. And Liam is in a coma. And that’s what Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is told this week. Now, we don’t know how long this coma is going to last. It could be a day or two. It could be six months. I mean, realistically, it could be long term. Personally, I suspect Liam wakes up sooner rather than later. But in the meantime, let’s talk about what this coma changes for many people on Bold and the Beautiful.

Liam’s Coma on Bold and the Beautiful: Exploring Potential Outcomes and Plot Twists

So, first off, we got to say, you know, just to entertain all options, there’s a chance the coma results in Liam’s death. He doesn’t wake up at all. He dies from the brain tumor while he’s in the coma that’s caused by being shot by Luna. And it could be that Liam’s cancer ridden body just can’t take the stress and he’s in the coma for a few days and then he just suddenly expires.

That’s possible. I don’t feel like it’s probable. But it is possible. We have to acknowledge it. And in that case, Steffy, Hope Logan (Annika Noelle), Bill, and others would get the rough news that Liam died from the combination of trauma and this advanced disease. However, again, I think it’s a long shot. I don’t think Liam’s going to die. I’ve been saying that ever since the cancer diagnosis. Scott Clifton is a great actor. B&B would be crazy to let him go. And I’ll also say that Liam has been much more likable now that he stopped his waffling.

Bold and the Beautiful: Will Liam’s Coma Lead to a Cancer Cure?

So, another thing that could come out of this coma that Luna caused is Liam is saved from his cancer. I think we could see something like the coma allows Dr. Grace Buckingham some drastic opportunities and options to treat the cancer she didn’t have before. If you remember, Hope was just telling Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) that Liam wasn’t getting the treatments because he was worried about his quality of life while undergoing chemo and radiation.

And Grace was just telling Finn that Liam really needs to jump at it, that he needs to get treatment. You know, in a coma though, your quality of life is non-existent. So, Grace may ask Bill as his living relative since he’s not married to Hope, not married to Steffy, Bill would be the one to decide. Grace may ask Bill for permission to start the cancer treatments while Liam is in the coma as just a Hail Mary.

And in the meantime, the Italy story that was shot on location featuring Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang), Nick Marone (Jack Wagner), and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), should be taking up the front burner screen time. So Liam’s cancer could be cured offscreen. And he wakes up cancer free in a month or so once they’re done with the Italy stuff. And of course, that would be a miraculous outcome, which I thought we were going to get all along.

Hope, Carter, and Liam: A Love Triangle Reboot on Bold and the Beautiful?

Now, if this coma gives Grace the chance to successfully treat Liam’s cancer and he survives, then him coming out of the coma with years left to live could change things drastically for Hope and Carter. If Hope finds out Liam’s going to live, I don’t see her rushing to the altar to get married to Carter. Right before Liam was shot, he was telling Hope how much he loves her.

I do believe Liam wanted to be with Hope. But he pushed her towards Carter because he was dying. You know, he didn’t want Hope to be alone after he was gone. He wanted Beth to have a good stepdad. But if Liam’s cancer is gone and he’s got a new lease on life, he may tell Hope, “Listen, I’m going to live. I love you. I want to be with you. Do you want to be with me?” I could see Liam waking up a new man determined to fight for Hope. You know, I saw some clickbait nonsense about Steffy dumping Finn for Liam. And I just want to say that’s straight up crazy.

If any couple breaks up because Liam wakes up from his coma cancer-free, it’s going to be Hope and Carter. I do believe Hope still loves Liam and wants a future with him. But the problem was he had no future. But if that changes because of this coma and Hope gets another chance with Liam, I could see him and Hope reuniting. I could see them celebrating their reunion by getting married again, maybe by having another baby, just life affirming stuff because Liam would have faced down two possible deaths, the gunshot and the cancer.

Bill’s Guilt and Liam’s Potential PTSD: Bold and the Beautiful Character Development

Another outcome from Liam’s coma, I think, would be seeing Bill absolutely racked with guilt that Luna shot his son. I mean, let’s be real, Bill’s the only reason Luna was pardoned and set free to run a muck and do all this. And of course, everybody’s furious with Bill. But that’s probably not going to be anything compared to how guilty he feels for inadvertently causing Liam’s shooting.

So, if Bill’s son wakes from the coma and beats the cancer, Bill may feel so guilty he retires from Spencer Publications and makes Liam CEO. I think that’d be pretty cool. The last thing is Liam may come out of the coma feeling really bad for taking Luna’s life. Not because she was innocent. But because he’s not a killer. He’s a tree hugging vegan. It was a heat of the moment deed when Liam shot Luna.

Liam may really struggle with the fact he killed someone, even though he did it for all the right reasons to save Steffy’s life. But I do think Liam might suffer some PTSD after this. It might be interesting to see him go through a little dark phase. Of course, nobody would hold him shooting Luna against him. I don’t think Finn would. I don’t think Sheila would. But I don’t see Liam taking it lightly that he took a life, even in defense of someone he loves.

Luna’s Exit and Liam’s Reboot: Bold and the Beautiful Future Storylines

But I feel like this shooting has been done to set up Lisa Yamada’s exit as Luna. She’s off shooting another show. and also to cure Liam’s cancer, to reboot his character, give him a new life with Hope. And maybe some deeper psychological wounds to deal with PTSD from the shooting and the facing death twice. Something cool, I think, is going to come out of it. I do think Liam’s going to pull out of this coma. But we’ll wait to see.
