🎭 Scott Clifton Bids Farewell to B&B 😢 Returns to General Hospital as Dillon Quartermaine! 💥

It’s the end of an era—and the start of a surprising new chapter! After more than a decade playing Liam Spencer on The Bold and the Beautiful, Scott Clifton is officially saying goodbye to the CBS soap. But fans won’t have to wait long to see him on screen again, as he’s headed back to General Hospital to reprise his role as Dillon Quartermaine!

Soap fans across the globe are buzzing with emotions: sadness, excitement, and a whole lot of nostalgia. Let’s dive into everything we know about Scott’s dramatic exit, his long-awaited return to Port Charles, and what it means for both shows.

A Decade as Liam Spencer

Scott Clifton joined The Bold and the Beautiful in 2010, quickly becoming a central figure in the iconic Hope–Liam–Steffy love triangle that has dominated the soap’s storylines for over a decade. His portrayal of Liam, the conflicted Spencer heir with a romantic soul and a habit of making terrible decisions, earned him three Daytime Emmy Awards and legions of devoted fans.

From shocking paternity twists to emotional wedding cliffhangers, Clifton delivered drama, heartbreak, and occasional humor with undeniable talent. But now, his time in Los Angeles has come to an end.

A Personal Message to Fans

In an emotional farewell post shared on social media, Scott wrote:

“I’ll never find the words to express what these 14 years have meant to me. B&B gave me a second home, a second family, and a chance to play a role that challenged and inspired me every day. But it’s time for a new story—and maybe, an old one too.”

He followed it with a wink emoji, confirming what many had already suspected: his return to General Hospital is real—and official.

Dillon Quartermaine Returns

Long-time fans of General Hospital will remember Scott’s earlier run as Dillon Quartermaine, the artistic and rebellious grandson of Edward and Lila Quartermaine. Dillon’s last appearance was brief and scattered between 2015 and 2017, but his presence in the Quartermaine family saga left a lasting impact.

Now, with GH writers teasing a major storyline involving the Quartermaines and the return of “a familiar face with unfinished business,” it’s the perfect time for Dillon to come home.

Sources confirm that Clifton has already begun filming and will appear on-screen in early July 2025.

What Does This Mean for Liam?

Back on The Bold and the Beautiful, Liam’s exit storyline is said to be emotional and introspective. After his turbulent relationships with both Steffy and Hope reach a breaking point, Liam takes a step back from the chaos. In his final scenes, he reportedly chooses to leave Los Angeles to “find clarity” and “rebuild his identity” outside the Spencer empire.

In a poignant farewell moment, he says to his father Bill:

“I’ve been chasing women and running from my own mistakes for too long. It’s time I figure out who I am—on my own.”

It’s a quiet, mature exit for a character who’s been at the heart of B&B for so long. But it’s also left open-ended, suggesting the door is wide open for a return down the line.

What Fans Are Saying

Soap fans are divided—but deeply engaged.

• “I’ll miss Liam so much. He’s a frustrating character, but Scott made him so real.”

• “Dillon Quartermaine is such a good fit for Scott. I’m READY for him to shake up Port Charles!”

• “Please don’t recast Liam. No one else can play that role like Scott Clifton.”

On social media, #GoodbyeLiam and #WelcomeBackDillon were trending within hours of the announcement, and even actors from both shows chimed in with support.
