Welp, it was a good run, anyway. Since 2009, Don Diamont had thrilled us on the daily as Bill Spencer, arguably the most incorrigible character in Bold & Beautiful history. But we’ve come to the end of an era. No longer is Bill Brooke’s “Stallion,” Katie’s “better” half or even money-grubbing “Dollar Bill.” He’s just… eesh. That softheaded guy with no life who hangs out at his estate navel-gazing with a killer whose body count is higher than that of the psycho he shagged in hopes of bringing her to justice.

Who even is this Bill? We have no idea.

It feels like the powers that be ran out of ideas for the playboy when they stopped having him ping-pong between Brooke and Katie. He went through a stretch where, despite being rich and handsome, he couldn’t get a date. In L.A. Sure, Jan. Then they turned him into Mr. Schmaltzy when he reconnected with lost love Poppy. The syrupiness only got thicker in the hot minute that he was led to believe that Poppy’s daughter was also his.

And that was all… well, not great. But then it got worse.

When Poppy was accused of Tom and Hollis’ murders, Bill dropped her in a heartbeat and never looked back. So the deep emotions he was so thrilled to tap into were… a whole lot shallower than we were told. But Bill couldn’t quit Luna for “reasons.” He pulled strings to have the killer serve out her life sentence at his mansion and now, it would appear, he pulled even more strings to get her paroled.

Two murders. Dead to rights. And she’s free as a bird.

What the heck is wrong with Bill? We’re all for characters evolving but not into spineless saps. The Bill we know would never have given a pass to Luna — not after he found out that she had planned to kill Steffy, the former daughter-in-law with whom he himself was once in love. Given the lengths to which he went to see that Sheila couldn’t harm Steffy or anyone else, it makes zero sense for him to aid and abet Luna.

What are we even supposed to feel about Bill now except maybe sorry? This once-powerful and dynamic character has been reduced to a shadow of himself, a dull softy who’s so hard up for company that he’s willing to listen to Luna express more upset that Tom was too icky to be her father than that she ended the lives of two innocent people. This Bill is sad. Directionless. Pathetic.
