How evil is Bill Spencer? Let me count the ways: bully, blowhard, braggart, and now he's a boozer, too! After about three weeks of noticing that Bill has been spiking his coffee with liquor, we've been set up for an intervention. Meanwhile, Liam is back in the hot seat. It's time again for him to choose between Hope and Steffy. But as anyone who's been watching The Bold and the Beautiful knows, Liam is incapable of making a decision. We'll make ot for him in this week's Two Scoops.
