B&B: LIAM SLEEPS WITH STEFFY!

Still reeling from the shocking sight of Thomas kissing Hope, Liam is left angry and devastated. “What he witnessed, Liam is simultaneously validated and destroyed,” explains his portrayer, Scott Clifton. “In that moment, everything seems to make sense about why Hope has been so dismissive of his concerns that Thomas wants her back.”

After spying the buss, “Liam is standing in Thomas’s doorway in shock and despair,” says Clifton. “He can’t even bring himself to say anything. He can’t even walk into the room, so he leaves. He doesn’t know where to go and finds himself driving back to Steffy’s.”

Once there, Liam fills in an incredulous Steffy. “Steffy doesn’t believe it at first,” notes Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy). “In Steffy’s mind, she’s like, ‘There is no way that would ever happen.’ She knows how Hope feels about Liam. She doesn’t believe Hope would cheat on Liam, especially now that they have this beautiful little family with Douglas and Beth. So yes, it is a shock to hear.”

Steffy tries to offer an explanation, but Liam is resolute. “Liam is adamant about what he saw, and even though she tries to argue that it must be some kind of misunderstanding, he’s not hearing it,” remarks Clifton. “He says, ‘How can this be a misunderstanding? I saw it with my own eyes. I know what I saw — and heard.’ He heard Thomas say to Hope, ‘This is a night we’re never going to forget.’ ”
