Imo Liam has been unlikeable for years. He was forced on viewers from the beginning and carted in like a leading man which he never was. I don't understand the fascination with the character and why every woman would want his juices. He isn't a catch by any means.

SC is a likeable guy as far as I can tell and he can act and he has a sense of humor so I am sure he 100% endorses what everyone is saying about Liam.
But the writers have kept him VERY employed for many many many years now - a lot longer than 90% of the actors that Bell hires and then gets tired of - so I don't think he would have much of a case to sue .

I know you are joking but it is worth reflecting that the regular paychecks must be sweet for a young actor like him, no matter how infuriating the material.
He was certainly good on GH but at the outset I would not have pegged him to become one of the most resilient part of the revolving-door B&B cast, especially since he doesn't look like the kind of leading man Bell usually casts.

I do think the show would be helped by being more self-aware about the absurdity of Liam's behavior and drawing the audience in in the mockery. Even when they give it a try like with some of what Hope said, they have to include stuff like ranger quoted that just completely overshadows every bit of satisfaction we could get from him being called out.

ed out.

It must be tough on him lol I want to give Scott Clifton a big hug and make sure that he's knows what a good actor he is, but Liam, I wanna beat the holy hell out of that guy

    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
