Wyatt is soon on hand to offer a strong shoulder when ‘Liam’ texts to say he’s not coming back. Content with his own decision to dump Ivy following her revelation that she still loves Liam, Wyatt turns his attentions to comforting and supporting Steffy now that Liam has inexplicably returned from his accidental sojourn in Australia and harshly broken off their engagement without a proper explanation.

She and Deacon have separated because she’s finally realised that the union was doomed from the beginning. Deacon is not a Spencer and the Spencer men are the only ones who have ever truly been able to capture her heart. Wyatt is shocked as he thought she’d…
