Soap fans first became acquainted with Scott Clifton when he played the quirky Dillon Quartermaine on ABC’s General Hospital. Clifton played the role from 2003-2007, before heading from Los Angeles to New York to take on the role of Schulyer Joplin on One Life to Live from 2009-2010.
Scott’s next stop was The Bold and the Beautiful and since 2010, he has been playing Liam Spencer for all he is worth and then some winning three Daytime Emmys along the way and becoming the first actor to win gold in the three main acting categories: Younger, Supporting and Lead.

Now, Clifton has embarked on his most dramatic and heavy storyline of his career, as on B&B, Liam just learned he has an inoperable mass on his brain and will eventually die. As Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) tried to have it sink in to Liam’s psyche on today’s, Wednesday, April 23rd episode of the CBS daytime drama series, Liam was deflecting and not believing this was his ultimate fate.
Since this story kicked-off, viewers have been wondering if this turn of events, which leaves Liam possibly dying and Clifton written off the show, if he would then be reprising his role of Dillon on GH! If he did, the Q’s would have another addition to their mansion. After all, Dillon is the son of Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) and Paul Hornsby (Paul Satterfield).
Speaking for the first time on his heartbreaking new B&B storyline, Clifton clarified to Soap Opera Digest, that a return to GH as Dillon Quartermaine is premature to even think about, adding, “I am not at all thinking about General Hospital or any other show. I’m just thinking about doing the best job I can do telling this story. That is what is important to me. I just want to do right by this show and this story and and this storyteller — namely, Brad (Bell, B&B EP and head writer).”
Viewers also believe that just like The Bold and the Beautiful did with Eric Forrester (John McCook) coming back from death’s door just in time for Christmas in 2023, that the show is planning on doing something similar with Liam. However, let’s not forget, the series did kill-off the matriarch of the Forrester clan, Stephanie Forrester, once Susan Flannery made the decision to exit the show.

However, with Clifton, he says he is not quite sure where the story is ultimately heading sharing, “To the fans, I would say, ‘Hey, man, we’re on this trip together! I’m right there with you. I don’t now exactly where this is going. I’m only like a couple weeks ahead (in terms of episodes he’s shot)!’ I also want the fans to know that whatever happens, this story is being told with such thoughtfulness and delicacy and generosity and love, from the top down. We all really, really care (about telling it right).”
So, what do you think will happen to Liam? Will the show kill-0ff the character? Do you want Scott Clifton to head back to General Hospital? Do you hope whatever happens, this storyline will be a tearjerker all the way through it? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
