Should Bill’s Shooting Be Addressed When Taylor Returns on Bold and the Beautiful?

Taylor’s on her way back to Los Angeles and The Bold and the Beautiful now that the show has recast the role with Krista Allen. The last time the good doctor was on the canvas, viewers learned that she was the one who shot Bill Spencer!

The Bold and the Beautiful’s Taylor Shot Bill

Should the show re-address that story point? Or do Bill (Don Diamont) and Taylor need to move on and accept that nobody’s perfect and we all make mistakes? Soap Hub posed this question to fans. Read on for the results.

The Next Chapter

Most of you, about 72%, feel that this story beat does not need to be addressed. Bill and Taylor made peace with her actions after the shooting and they’ve decided to move on. Is Taylor likely to shoot Bill again? Probably not. Taylor pumped lead into the media mogul because she felt he’d harmed her daughter. Very few people tell Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) what to do. Taylor made a mistake — granted, it was a big one.

The Bold and the Beautiful: Talk It Out

Many of you, 15%, feel that Bill and Taylor need to address this issue more. If Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) goes to prison for her crimes, why does Taylor get to walk away as a free woman? Bill’s no saint either. He covered up Liam’s (Scott Clifton) role in Vinny’s (Joe LoCicero) death. He also blew up Spectra Fashions with both Liam and Sally (Courtney Hope) inside. Shouldn’t it be justice for all?

The show might also examine if Taylor actually did pump lead into Bill. After all, Liam (Scott Clifton) thought he’d done it. The show changed that revelation. Maybe Taylor’s recollection is a false memory as well?

Truly Deal With It

The rest of you, about 13%, say that you’d like to see this re-addressed. What are the legal, emotional, and financial repercussions of Taylor shooting Bill? Does he have PTSD? Was Bill left with trust issues? Does Taylor doubt herself? She took an oath as a doctor to do no harm so does that mean she should take on a new career?
