While Scott Clifton’s first soap role as “General Hospital’s” Dillon Quartermaine lasted several years, his second soap role on ABC’s now-defunct drama “One Life to Live” was a wakeup call that you should never count on any new acting gig you get. Clifton lasted one short year on the soap, despite the same network keeping him around when he was on “General Hospital.” When Clifton was finally cast as Liam Spencer, he was a little gun shy and prepared for the worst.
“When I was first cast, I thought maybe it’d be a year if I was lucky because I’d learned that lesson the hard way,” Clifton told Soap Opera Digest. “I had just been fired from ‘One Life to Live’ after a little more than a year. I’ve been on ‘B&B’ for almost 12 years now, and I couldn’t be more grateful.”
During his time on “The Bold and the Beautiful,” both Clifton and Liam have gotten married and become parents, although Liam has been married multiple times and has two baby mamas or he wouldn’t be a soap character.
