The Bold and the Beautiful’s Don Diamont is excited about his new storyline, which has his alter ego, Bill Spencer, reconnecting with Poppy Nozawa, a woman from his past. “I am thrilled that Brad [Bell, executive producer/head writer] came up with it and I am right on board,” says the actor. “Poppy coming out of nowhere is awakening things in Bill that had been at rest for quite a while.”

Bill and Poppy are set to grow even closer in the weeks ahead, which is welcome news to Diamont. “It’s a unique story and I really enjoy working with Romy [Park, Poppy],” he raves. “She’s just terrific, and Poppy is just so free and uninhibited. Bill’s just totally wrapped up in her.”

For Diamont, who spent years sharing scenes with Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) and Heather Tom (Katie), working with a new co-star is a big shift. “It’s just so different,” he shares.

“We have gone down those other roads for such a long period of time and I’m not averse to, if things evolve, Katie coming back into Bill’s life. I love that relationship, and needless to say, I just love Heather and working with Heather so much, so I think that that would be interesting as things evolve with Poppy to see Katie sort of come back [into] the picture. That would be fun. But having an entirely new love interest with no familial ties on the show is also amazing.”

Diamont is well aware of the speculation that Bill is the father of Poppy’s daughter, Luna, and says he would enjoy the twist. “He’s not letting it enter his mind quite yet, but he does feel some sort of otherworldly connection with Poppy and he’s very taken with Luna,” notes the actor.

“I would love it personally for Bill to have a daughter.” And it’s a road the actor has traveled down before on screen. “He’s had two adult children show up on his doorstep,” points out Diamont. “So I said, ‘We’re gonna have to change his name from Dollar Bill to No Protection Bill,’” he quips.

    Katie had her Time with Bil. Time to give a new love to Bill. Maybe marriage that could get Li's panties on a bunch. Ha ha

    No triangle. Katie does not love him anymore, she's with Carter and in love with him.

    Dollar Bill should be with Poppy, she will not hurt him like Katie did when she rejected him to be with Carter.

    I am not interested in that triangle. Let Katie move on from Bill and be happy. You have done Katie and Bill to much. Just like Ridge and Brooke. Find other storylines with other people. B&B you going down!!!!

    No triangle with Bill and Katie but maybe with Poppy and Li. With Li's anger turning into jealousy.

    Bill and Poppy have great chemistry and I love them together. And if she tells him that he is the father of her daughter then he’s going to be the best father ever.

    Katie is a terrible actress..Bill should be with Poppy, Katie needs to eat her heart out..Zero chemistry between her & Carter..The only man she's ever had chemistry with was her short fling with with Wyatt!! B & B has gone downhill badly..I fast forward through most of it now, the same old rehashed conversations with or about Eric. Dumb storyline to begin with..made no sense & nobody ever said what he was sick with, yet half the story each day is still singing his praises. There are many other great storylines to be had here if the writers did what they get paid to do!!

    Don Diamont is a horndog. He needs to learn to be happy with one woman. The family story line with him, Poppy and Luna can be a beautiful story line. Don, you've already had your three-some with Katie and Booke and even with Quinn. Be happy with one woman!

    I think a love triangle between Bill, Poppy, and Katie would be interesting. I'd love to see a different side to Katie, one with her claws coming out.
