How Liam Spencer Lost Leading Man Status on Bold and the Beautiful

Liam Spencer used to be the most in-demand man on The Bold and the Beautiful. Steffy and Hope fought over him for years. He went back and forth with both ladies and played their hearts. That’s not the case anymore. Liam ultimately lost his leading man status due to his waffling ways. 

Finn Becomes B&B’s Most Eligible Man

Finn (Tanner Novlan) is not a bachelor. He’s happily married to Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). But that didn’t stop Hope (Annika Noelle) from making out with him. As a result, Finn cemented himself as the new leading man of the daytime soap. 

Steffy is crazy about Finn. Even Liam’s (Scott Clifton) secret smooches can’t keep her away from her hubby. Steffy is hot for her husband, and so is Hope. She quickly moved on from Thomas (Matthew Atkinson), especially after he went to Paris. 

Hope has had the hots for Finn. Despite her mom’s pleas, she’s having difficulty shaking these feelings off. According to Hope, Finn is the total package. He is a “hero” who will protect his family and is 100% devoted to his wife. 

Finn is everything that Hope wants in a man. But she already had that man: Thomas. Steffy and Hope moved from fighting over Liam to fighting over Finn. Yet, Hope always wants what Steffy has.

She hasn’t come to terms with her divorce from Liam. Hope also hasn’t focused on herself as she promised. She spends most of her time pining for Finn or Thomas. Meanwhile, Steffy has a happy and healthy marriage and a thriving career. Hope’s couture line, Hope for the Future, is on the brink of collapse if the numbers don’t rebound.

New Spencer Leading Man Waiting in the Wings?

Where does this leave Liam? The guy who’s flip-flopped between Hope and Steffy might get a new leading lady. Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) is finally claiming her man. She’s had her eyes set on Liam ever since she briefly returned months ago.  

The spoilers suggest there’s another Spencer man who’s in demand. B&B has shifted its focus to the younger generation. Fans didn’t warm up to RJ (Joshua Hoffman) as they hoped.

Will (Crew Morrow) is back in town. The spoilers suggest that RJ and Will could become romantic rivals. They already started off on the wrong foot, with Will asking RJ how he didn’t know that Luna (Lisa Yamada) was a lunatic. 

Katie (Heather Thompson) wants her son to work at Forrester Creations. Will might take her up on the idea. This could dent RJ’s future plans with his family’s company.

Move over, Liam. It looks like Will is here to stay. This young man could quickly take his place. What are your thoughts on Liam losing his leading man status? Sound off below in the comment section.
