This might be the end of Dr. Grace Buckingham’s career on The Bold and the Beautiful. She confessed to Finn that her ex-husband, Reese, owed money to bookies. They were coming down on her and threatening her daughters if she didn’t pay up. So, she made it look like Liam was dying from a brain tumor and tricked Bill into giving her $1 million for an ‘experimental procedure.’ She then begged Finn to keep the secret. Cassandra Creech opened up about Grace’s awful predicament.
Grace Under Fire
Creech spoke with Soaps about what her character is going through, explaining that Grace feels horrible and guilty for conning Liam and putting him through hell, thinking he was going to die. “She hates what she put Liam and his loved ones through,” she stated, adding, “and hoped it might never come to light.”
But Finn was savvy enough to realize something wasn’t right with the whole ‘miracle’ cure, eventually figuring out that Grace committed egregious fraud on The Spencers. She stated that Grace has to face what she’s done, as well as “the most difficult part of all, which is telling Liam and Hope.”

A Fall From Grace
“It was volcanic. It was humbling for Grace and brutal,” the actress explained about the scenes where she will have to admit everything to Liam. She stated that the moment Grace confesses everything shows off her vulnerability. While she’ll have to pay Bill (Don Diamont) back, she’s more concerned with dealing with the fallout from her actions.
This story harkens back to when Grace’s ex, Reese (Wayne Brady), kidnapped Hope (Annika Noelle) and Liam’s (Scott Clifton) baby, Beth. He had gambling debts and owed some nefarious characters a ton of money, and landed in jail. But Creech explained the stakes, noting, “This time, the people to whom he owes money were coming after her daughters. With him behind bars, he couldn’t pay them off.”
It fell on her shoulders to take care of the situation, and Creech stated, “Sometimes, good people are forced to do bad things.” But when the dust settles, Grace may not have a career anymore and could even see jail time. Perhaps we’ll get to see Reese if she joins him in the slammer!
