Already not a big fan of his father because he went to extremes (arson and demolition) to put Spectra out of business, nearly killing him and Sally in the process, Liam hates Bill even more after learning that he slept with Steffy. Sure, her baby is Liam’s, but that’s small comfort as he simply can’t get the image of his wife and his father together out of his head!

Thomas Forrester

Bill's attempts to put Sally out of business didn't endear him to Thomas, who was dating the redhead at the time. But since the Forrester heir was also bankrolling Spectra, Bill decided to get Thomas out of the way by convincing Caroline to lie to him that she was dying, forcing him to leave Sally as he went to New York to spend her "final" days with their son. However, now that Thomas knows all about the cruel deception, did he return to take his revenge?
Bb Caroline Bill

Honestly, Caroline should have known better than to go along with Bill's lie that she was dying just to steal Thomas away from Sally. But she did, and when she couldn't maintain the charade any longer, he dumped her to return to the redhead. Now, with Caroline's life in shambles, she's focusing her blame on Bill!
