You may notice that little Will Spencer on The Bold & The Beautiful is looking a little more grown-up… and completely different! That’s because Crew Morrow — yes, the son of The Young & The Restless star Joshua Morrow (Nick) — stepped into the role of Bill and Katie’s son on Aug. 1, 2024. He took over for child actor Finnegan George, who played Will from August 2018 until January 2020. Previously, the role of Katie’s little boy was played by Zane Achor, Heather Tom’s real-life son with husband James Achor.

Katie Logan and Bill Spencer were happily married when she became pregnant, but she nearly died delivering her son because her heart — transplanted from her late brother, Storm Logan — was so weak. Following the difficult birth, Katie experienced postpartum depression and briefly abandoned her son. She then nearly died again when she stopped taking her anti-rejection medication. When Katie and Bill eventually split up, Will was a the center of a bitter custody battle.

Will was too young to understand why his mother was spending so much time with his half-brother, Wyatt Spencer, but once he was a little older, he knew that his father was ignoring him to spend time with Steffy Forrester. Bill didn’t even fight when Katie filed for sole custody of their son. Later, Will was okay when Katie married Thorne Forrester, but also began repairing his relationship with Bill.

After Katie and Thorne divorced, Will wanted his parents back together and even stole his father’s credit card to pay for some expensive dates for them. Thankfully, when Bill and Katie found out, they thought it was cute and didn’t punish him too badly. Will was concerned when his mother experienced kidney failure, but thankfully a donor was found in time and his was the first face Katie saw when she woke up from surgery. Will was also present at Bill’s office at Spencer Publications when the family met with Flo Fulton to express their gratitude for donating her kidney.

In July 2020, Bill and Katie tried to work things out but eventually decided they needed to tell Will that they were separating again (though it happened off camera). Will wasn’t seen for a few years, though it was mentioned that he was away at boarding school. Finally, in August 2024, Will came home to find things had changed quite a bit while he was gone!
