Liam Spencer is facing a ticking clock—and the choices he’s making as time runs out are raising eyebrows. While his condition worsens quietly, Liam has been spending every waking moment with his daughter Kelly. The two share a growing closeness, filled with long talks, laughter, and quiet goodbyes. He’s made a heartfelt request to Finn: look after Kelly when he’s gone. Finn, seeing the fear in Liam’s eyes, agrees.
But one question won’t stop bothering Finn: what about Beth? For weeks, he’s watched Liam pour love and time into Kelly while avoiding any mention of his other daughter. Hope has noticed, too. She senses something is off, but Liam’s health keeps her from digging deeper. Finn, however, can’t ignore the pattern. One night, after a quiet evening at home, he glances around the room and sees Kelly’s presence everywhere—her drawings, her toys, her laughter lingering in the air. But Beth? It’s like she’s been erased from Liam’s life.
That night, Finn confronts Liam with quiet urgency. Why hasn’t Beth been included in these final moments? Doesn’t she deserve the same love and memories? Liam is stunned by the question. After a long pause, he finally opens up with the truth he’s never spoken. He tells Finn that despite his best efforts, he has never felt the same bond with Beth that he does with Kelly. The reason? Deep, unshakable doubts that Beth is truly his daughter.
Liam reveals that the trauma surrounding Beth’s birth—being told she was dead, the switch, the lies—planted a seed of doubt in his heart that never went away. He has tried to be there for her, to push aside his feelings, but the connection has always felt forced. Now, as his days grow shorter, he can’t lie to himself or Beth anymore. He refuses to give her false love if it’s built on uncertainty. It’s not fair to her.
Finn is floored. As a father and a doctor, he understands the urge to protect, but he also knows the damage secrets can cause. Liam begs him not to tell Hope or Steffy. He wants to carry this burden alone. He doesn’t want to hurt Beth, nor does he want to shake the foundations of Hope’s world in his final days. Finn, reluctantly, agrees—for now.
But the emotional weight of what Liam has confessed is impossible to ignore. This secret could detonate lives if it comes to light. If Hope finds out that Liam has been harboring doubts for years, it could destroy their relationship. And if Finn can’t keep his promise, the fallout could impact not only Liam’s legacy but the lives of everyone who loves Beth.
