Though perhaps not a full-blown love affair, The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Katie (Heather Tom) has certainly been in a situationship with Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) since her split from Dollar Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) — but how to explain her attitude towards Bill making nice with new insta-family Poppy (Remy Park) and Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Enter Bill’s portrayer to offer up some thoughts.
Don Diamont On A Potential Bill/Katie Redux
“The Bill/Katie relationship is just so beautiful for me and I think Heather would say the same,” Don Diamont relayed to Soap Opera Digest. “Yes, there has been everything with Brooke [Katherine Kelly Lang], but ultimately, he sees Katie as his, no matter what goes on. He sees it that way, and if you want to call it a possessiveness, I think that’s fair, especially given Bill’s personality. And I think that Katie feels the same, even though he hasn’t always been that great for her and he’s done some dastardly things. Ultimately, Bill is her great love.”
The way Don Diamont sees it, Bill folding the Nozawa girls into his life has awakened something in Katie, something that “she has been able to sort of literally keep at bay — compartmentalize, lock those feelings away. But they’re there. They can’t not be there. She’s his great love, he’s her great love. And so I look forward to seeing how that unfolds in the coming weeks and years.”
And as for his (former?) leading lady: “I can say this unequivocally: working opposite Heather Tom has been the greatest joy of my professional life…Heather is just my great joy…This goes all the way back to watching her on Y&R, watching her first time on [The Young and the Restless where she played Victoria Newman and he was Brad Carlton], watching this extraordinary talent as such a young girl.
“And then they flirted with putting us together when we were on Y&R but never really did anything with that, but we always just liked each other, and then when I came to B&B, Heather told me that when she heard that I was coming to B&B, she immediately emailed Brad [Bell, executive producer/head writer] and said, ‘I want Don Diamont!’ So, that, for me, is the greatest flattery of my acting career, that Heather Tom wanted to work opposite me.”
