Is a Liam and Hope Wedding Next? The Bold and the Beautiful Stars Tease Ceremony Plans
After years of breakups, betrayals, and do-overs, The Bold and the Beautiful’s on-again duo Liam and Hope are headed back down the aisle — and stars Scott Clifton and Annika Noelle say this reunion feels different, teasing a can’t-miss ceremony for fans.
Soap weddings are a revolving door, but Bold and the Beautiful just walked Liam and Hope back through it again — this time after a wild medical twist even by this show’s standards. The actors behind the couple, Scott Clifton and Annika Noelle, opened up about why this round feels different, and how the storyline dodged the usual rinse-and-repeat trap.
The setup: a reunion born from a scare
Liam and Hope have been married more than once, split more than once, and dated other people in between. They reconnected when doctors told Liam he had an inoperable brain tumor — a gut-punch that pulled them closer. Then the other shoe dropped: the diagnosis was wrong. Not faked by Liam, not a con — just a bad call.
Clifton was worried about the optics — then the script surprised him
Speaking with TV Insider, Clifton said he genuinely didn’t know where the relationship would go once Hope learned the diagnosis wasn’t real. His concern was simple: if Liam turns out to be fine and immediately runs back to Hope with wedding vows, it looks like nobody learned a thing.
What changed his mind was how the show played the ceremony. Instead of pretending their messy past never happened, he felt the wedding leaned into it — a nod to their long, complicated history rather than a reset button.
Noelle says Hope finally knows what she wants
Noelle’s take: Hope tried other relationships while she and Liam were apart, and none of them stuck. Hearing that he might be dying snapped her priorities into focus. She believes both characters have done enough growing to make a serious commitment now — not starry-eyed teenagers, but two adults promising to actually follow through.
Real talk on whether it lasts
Clifton wants to believe this reunion can hold, but he’s realistic about the couple’s track record. Still, he said he had to buy in emotionally to make the scenes work — to believe these two could finally pull it off.
"I have to believe that they can. Do I believe they will? That’s a totally different question. But it would be very, very difficult to have made these scenes what they were if I didn’t, on some level, convince myself that these characters can actually pull this off this time and it can work for them."
Translation: hopeful, not naive. For now, Liam and Hope are back where they started — with rings on — but the show let them earn it instead of erasing everything that came before.
