Finnegan George portrayed William Logan Spencer on The Bold and the Beautiful between 2018 and 2020. The child actor took over the role from Zane Anchor, who played an infant Will in 2013, and continued playing the child till 2018. A 9-year-old Finnegan was brought in to portray the rapidly growing Will Spencer. Within two years, it was time to send off the character to boarding school.

For the newly indicted viewers of The Bold and the Beautiful, William Logan Spencer, or Will for short, is Bill Spencer and Katie Logan's child. While both Bill and Katie have moved on to different partners after their marriage broke down, Will continued to want a close-bonded family with his parents.

Finnegan's Will was shown to be appropriately innocent about his mother's affairs yet yearning to bring his parents together. He was also shown to be very understanding about his parents' decisions to remarry.


The Bold and the Beautiful: Who did Finnegan George play in the soap?

Finnegan George played a young Will Spencer in The Bold and the Beautiful when Will was a preteen. Portrayed as an understanding and wise little boy, Finnegan's Will aptly presented the dilemma of young children who desire loving parents to care for them.

Finnegan stepped into the role when previous child actor Zane Anchor moved out of the show in 2018. The storyline took a small time leap to show a pre-teen Will as Finnegan started to portray the role. Finnegan appeared on the soap till 2020, when the storyline planned to pack him off to boarding school.

While there was no official news about Finnegan's exit from The Bold and the Beautiful till 2023, 2024 saw Crew Morrow cast in the role of William Spencer as the storyline took another time leap. As the character was aged to be in late teens, 18-year-old Crew may be better suited for the role than 14-year-old Finnegan.

As mentioned before, William Logan Spencer was born to Bill Spencer and Katie Logan in September 2012, after the duo got married. Katie faced medical complications during labor since she had a weak heart transplanted from her brother Storm Logan.

After birth, Will was abandoned by his mother, who was fighting postpartum depression, and his aunt, Brooke, had to take care of the infant. Later on, Katie and Bill had an unpleasant divorce, and Will's parents moved on with their romantic lives.

As a young baby, Will moved around with his mother Katie, as she dated Ridge Forrester briefly before reuniting with Bill. The second reunion between Will's parents was shorter, and they soon looked out of marriage.

A sensitive and tolerant child, Will noticed how his father did not have time to spend with him while dating Steffy Forrester. Will, now played by Finnegan, was also unaware of his mother's affair with Wyatt Spencer. However, when Katie tied the knot with Thorne Forrester, Will grew to like his stepfather. At the same time, his relationship with Bill revived.

After Katie separated from Thorne, Will tried to bring his parents together. He secretly bought them expensive dates, stealing his father's credit card. Another milestone in young Will's life was his mother's kidney failure. However, Katie survived the crisis after Flo Fulton donated one of hers. Will witnessed Bill and his family express gratitude towards Flo.

In 2020, Will's parents went their separate ways again, and the child went to boarding school. Between 2021 and 2023, Will was assumed to be away at his school on The Bold and the Beautiful.

A grownup Will, in his later teens, appeared on the show on August 1, 2024. He expressed displeasure at his father's new alliance with Poppy and being introduced to Luna as her brother. Played by Crew Morrow, Will decided to stay with his mother and may side with her in the future story arcs.

Watch out for Will getting involved with the ongoing drama on The Bold and the Beautiful airing on weekdays on CBS.
