Liam's diagnosis has fans asking questions

The Bold and the Beautiful fans are still unsure if Scott Clifton is leaving the CBS soap, which makes it difficult for some viewers to become invested in his latest storyline. They wonder if his character will receive a miracle cure, like Eric Forrester (John McCook), and live or will be killed off.

With that in mind, some viewers who watch the CBS soap say they cannot feel sad about Liam's brain tumor because it might all be in vain. Whatever his fate is, Liam Spencer is making decisions as if he believes he might die. Fans are curious about three situations he might affect, and two were mentioned on Thursday.

Will Hope listen to her former spouse?

Liam told Hope Spencer (Anikka Noelle) to make peace with Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline Wood) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). Will she take his advice or is she too proud? Once Katie Logan (Heather Tom) blabs that Daphne Rose ( Murielle Hillarie) came to town to seduce Carter on Steffy's behalf, Hope will be livid, but Liam's words might make a difference.

Hope may decide to forgive Carter and also make amends with Steffy and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). Steffy might not desire to accept Hope's apologies, but Liam might also ask her to bury the hatchet. John Finnegan (Tanner Novlin) and his spouse are distraught about Liam's terminal brain tumor diagnosis so this may affect Steffy's decision.

Can Liam pursuade Steffy?

Perhaps in her grief, Steffy might listen to her ex-husband and forgive Hope. What will she do, however, if Liam pushes the issue and asks her to rehire Hope at Forrester Creations? He might even ask Steffy to reinstate the Hope for the Future line.

This would be asking a lot, considering all that has transpired, and Steffy would have to think long and hard about it. IF this is Liam's dying wish, she may honor it, but Ridge will be a hard sell. Liam has not yet told Hope or Dollar Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) that he has a terminal illness.

He also has not spent any time with Beth Spencer (Jordan Lynn Ariza). Steffy advised Liam to tell Hope, but he had not at the ned of Thursday's episode. B&B viewers are hoping Clifton won't leave, but the actor is not at liberty to say anything. Either way, Liam might set things in motion for Hope to begin working at Forrester again.

Is reconciliation possible?

One thing about the characters on B&B is that they do not hold grudges long. Hope and Steffy will always be rivals, but they love their daughters and both want the best for Forrester Creations. Steffy was brutal when she showed Hope the door, but Liam's illness changed everything.

Fans noticed that Carter did not run into Daphne's waiting arms, and he continues to say he loves Hope. Liam pushing a reunion sounds as if this couple is not done yet. Hope told Liam on Thursday that she appreciated his wisdom, so she may give his words much consideration.

When will Hope learn the truth?

The Bold and the Beautiful viewers say Hope deserves the entire truth, and once she hears it, she will give Carter another chance. How receptive will Ridge be to having Hope return to Forrester Creations without knowing his former son-in-law is dying?

Will everyone eventually be told of Liam's fate, or will he keep it private until he gets a miracle cure or passes away? Stay tuned for updates, breaking news and spoilers related to Liam's health and how it affects those around him.
