SC again says Liam IS a villain...

...and that he has not been redeemed...yet.

A New Beginning?

Given that soaps have a habit of redeeming characters that in real life we’d shun, Clifton has a hunch that a comeback is in store for Liam, regardless of how villainous — yes, villainous — his behavior has been. “We don’t all know a John Wayne Gacy or a Unabomber, but we do know guys just like Liam, and there is this visceral, deep resentment toward them, especially on a show where the narrative is that they’re supposed to be this noble figure,” the actor observes. “It takes a lot to redeem a character like that, and Liam is not redeemed, but [this period of self-reflection] is a step in that direction.”

He says a lot more interesting stuff, too. Not sure if it's within the rules to post a link but it was an interview with Charlie Mason, posted on SSK.

I don't see Liam as villainous. I see Liam as a coward. At least a villain has some drive and intention. Liam just takes the easy road and call it a day. He interchanges between dumb and dumber and see which one of the dopey women will fall for his sh*t he sprinkled some BS and a lot narcissism on. Its not hard to redeem a character. Liam hasn't crossed a lot of lines to be considered oh so horrible, look we have Brooke and Ridge as prime examples. Apparently he's been taking lessons from the King and Queen of narcissism. And then their little spawns play pretend high and mighty victims. But Liam can be redeemed with a lot of thought and one of the things that will redeem him is if he finds his own new life, a new romantic interest away from Steffy and Hope finally destroying that toxic connection from both.

I think all it takes to redeem someone like Liam is a few lines of dialogue. And last week Liam had that dialogue. But it doesn't seem to be sticking. Maybe we're going to get an actual redemption story?

I'm thinking that Sinn will separate because of the Sheila thing and Liam will swoop in. Then, at the end of that story, when Sinn reunite, Liam will have his wake up call.

I don't think him finding a new love interest will help if he doesn't have that wake up call and make actual changes. He'll just continue the behavior with different women.

Liam to Hope. Debate over.
