"Steffy deserves accountability" - The Bold and the Beautiful fans clash over Hope being left in the dark after Liam decides to hide his condition

In the episode of The Bold and the Beautiful that premiered on April 16, 2025, Liam decided to keep his medical condition a secret even though his health was improving under the care of Dr. Grace Buckingham. When Dr. Bridget Frrester discovered that Liam was the patient, she wondered why no one told her. Later, she learned that Liam chose to keep it quiet, even hiding it from Hope.

Previously, when Liam's health worsened as he collapsed on the floor, Steffy stayed by his side while he recovered. Hope should know about Liam's health crisis, especially because she shares a child with him. However, it was revealed that Steffy decided to keep Liam's condition a secret from Hope.

While addressing the current ongoings in the storyline of The Bold and the Beautiful, fans took to social media to express their opinions about Steffy and Liam hiding his medical condition from Hope. A user named Glenda Moore posted on Facebook on April 17, 2025, saying that Liam did not want Hope to know he was sick. Glenda stated:

"Did you guys see today where Liam told Bridget, Hope's sister, that he does not want her to know he is sick? Now find a way to blame Steffy for that too."

One fan, Diana Mosley, responded to Glenda's statement and said that Steffy deserves accountability for her past actions. Diana wrote:

"Steffy deserves accountability for her past actions, even if she's unfairly blamed in this situation."

Several fans commented on the post and continued the discussion, sharing similar sentiments about Steffy's actions. While a netizen pointed out that Steffy would eventually be blamed for not informing Hope about Liam's health crisis, another fan called Steffy out, saying that she should have informed Bill and Hope or called 911.

Many viewers debated whether Steffy should be blamed for hiding Liam's medical condition. One viewer argued that Steffy is to blame, as she should have informed Liam's family at the very beginning. On the other hand, another fan commented that viewers might say that Steffy has cast a spell on Liam.

Meanwhile, Luna told Sheila that she wanted Finn's acceptance, but it was not possible while Steffy was around. Sheila attempted to comfort Luna and said that they would eventually win Finn over.
