Why’d He Change?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Bold & Beautiful has a habit of writing characters one way one day and another way entirely the next. We\u2019re almost used to it by now, aren\u2019t we? Monday, Sheila\u2019s a mild-mannered pizzeria waitress, and on Tuesday, she\u2019s threatening to murder Taylor. Wednesday, Poppy is a misunderstood free spirit, and on Thursday, she\u2019s a vixen who cheers on her gold-digging daughter. It\u2019s lather, rinse, repeat with the turnabouts.<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s going on with Bill Spencer feels\u2026\u00a0different. Like, he hasn\u2019t made sense for a long time. First, he switched off his brain to get Luna placed under house arrest at his mansion. Then, he got her altogether paroled. Next \u00a0\u2014 and at least this part makes sense \u2014 he was all \u201cLock her up and throw away the key!\u201d because she shot one of his sons and raped another. Now, though\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Bill<\/p>\n

Who the hell is this Kumbaya Bill who prattles on about Katie being his moral compass, who lavishes praise upon Liam (when historically he\u2019s denigrated his son for his sensitivity), who lets a Big Brother contestant sage his office? We\u2019re all for characters growing and evolving. But Bill hasn\u2019t done that. A switch was flicked, and boom, in place of the tyrannical tycoon who cheated on \u201cmy Katie\u201d with her sister and (accidentally) dropped a building on Liam, we have a card-carrying Mr. Nice Guy who asks questions first and shoots never.<\/p>\n

\"Text<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s too sudden\u2026 and unearned. We haven\u2019t seen Bill try to change at all. We\u2019ve just heard him say (repeatedly) that almost losing Katie transformed him overnight into someone who wants to be the bigger man, the husband and father that Katie and Liam deserve. Sorry, but\u2026 not buying it. We\u2019d sooner believe that the real Bill has been abducted and replaced with a doppelganger (like Young & Restless did with Jack\u2026\u00a0and Katherine\u2026\u00a0and Lauren).<\/p>\n

Whodunit and why? Maybe Quinn is up to her old tricks and has decided that, in order to move forward with her life, she needs to settle her unfinished business with Wyatt\u2019s father. By the time the real Bill is released, Katie will be in love with the kinder, gentler Bill 2.0, and we\u2019ll have the rare Bill\/Katie\/\u201cBill\u201d triangle. But any way you slice it, we\u2019re gonna need to get the real Bill back at some point. Agree?<\/p>\n
