The Return of Bold & Beautiful’s [Spoiler] May Be the Only Thing Left That Can Redeem Bill

Bill Spencer’s Redemption Arc Could Begin With Bold & Beautiful’s Wild Card: Morgan DeWitt Returns?

The Bold and the Beautiful has, in recent years, taken a sledgehammer to one of its most enigmatic titans: Dollar Bill Spencer. Once the dangerous, sharp-witted, and endlessly compelling publishing magnate, Bill has been reduced to a shadow of his former self — drifting through clumsy storylines that have dulled his edge and baffled longtime fans.

Let’s be honest: Bill falling for Poppy like a teenager with a high school crush? Then suddenly forgetting her existence as if she were a deleted email? It’s been hard to watch. Luna’s so-called “mansion arrest” (a phrase that still feels more sitcom than soap opera) — followed by an inexplicable full pardon — was the final straw for some viewers. What happened to the calculating, magnetic man who once made Ridge look like a boy scout?

But there is hope — and not just a glimmer. There is a golden opportunity to reset the character of Bill Spencer in a way that honors his complexity and reignites interest in his arc. And it lies with a name some might have forgotten… but shouldn’t have.

Enter: Morgan DeWitt.

“Who?” new fans may ask. But longtime viewers will remember Morgan as one of the most controversial figures to ever grace the Forrester universe. Once Ridge’s lover, Morgan’s life took a devastating turn when Stephanie Forrester pressured her into an abortion — a moment that fractured her psychologically and set her on a dark path. Years later, she returned to L.A. a fashion designer with a vendetta and a dangerously unhinged mind. Her storyline climaxed in a chilling twist: the kidnapping of little Steffy Forrester.

She was ultimately sent away — both literally and narratively — but the Morgan we knew back then doesn’t have to be the Morgan of today. After all, B&B has long excelled at reviving and redeeming its wayward souls.

Imagine a version of Morgan who’s older, wiser, and maybe — just maybe — done running from her past. She shows up at Il Giardino one night, perhaps nursing a cocktail and a few decades’ worth of regrets. That’s when she sees him: Bill Spencer.

And he sees her.

It doesn’t take long for recognition to dawn. “Morgan DeWitt,” he murmurs. “Hard to forget a face like yours.”

“Not many places I can go where my reputation doesn’t precede me,” she replies coolly.

“There are even fewer where my past doesn’t follow me,” he says, swirling his scotch.

There’s something magnetic in the air. Not necessarily romantic — not yet — but charged with intrigue. These are two people who know what it’s like to fall from grace, and perhaps more importantly, to stop caring what anyone thinks. They talk, they reminisce. They laugh a little — not about the tragedies of their lives, but about the absurdity of public redemption. Everyone wants proof that you’ve changed, but what does that even look like?

Morgan leans in. “If actions speak louder than words, maybe that’s what we need to do — take action. Prove that we’re done apologizing for the things that we’ve done.”

Bill arches an eyebrow. “Do you have something specific in mind?”

“I do,” she says with a spark. “A fashion company. Ours. Not a revenge scheme. Not a headline grabber. Just something new. Something ours.”

Bill is momentarily cautious. “Wouldn’t that seem like we were just going after Forrester again? People probably wouldn’t say that screams ‘changed people.’”

Morgan smiles slyly. “That’s the beauty of the idea. We wouldn’t be doing it for them. We’d be doing it for us. And if people like, say, Ridge don’t like it… well, nobody ever said we were going to be saints, now did they?”

The prospect of Bill and Morgan launching their own fashion house offers Bold & Beautiful a rich storytelling vein. A partnership built not on lust or manipulation, but on mutual understanding — two outcasts building something together, healing by creating.

And make no mistake, the setup is ripe for everything soaps do best: jealousy, sabotage, reluctant respect, and eventually, romance. Ridge would be livid. Brooke would be suspicious. Steffy would no doubt raise alarms. But audiences? They’d eat it up.

It’s time to give Bill Spencer a narrative worthy of his legacy. And who better to join him on the comeback trail than a reformed villainess who once burned the Forrester dynasty to the ground?

Bring back Morgan DeWitt. Let the fashion wars begin — and let redemption finally feel earned again.
