These wounds, though momentarily soothed by attempts at amends, have never truly healed.(Celeb Dirty Laundry)
The Catalyst: Luna Nozawa’s Turmoil
The latest fissure in their already strained relationship stems from Bill’s controversial involvement with Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada). Believing Luna to be his daughter, Bill welcomed her into his home, only to later discover the truth about her manipulations and criminal activities, including falsifying a paternity test and committing two murders. Despite these revelations, Bill’s decision to aid Luna, even facilitating her pardon, has left Liam questioning his father’s judgment and moral compass. (Celebrating The Soaps, Pinkvilla)
