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.
Will’s attempts at matchmaking didn’t quite work out.
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 walk in on his father with Poppy Nozawa and struggled to accept the new woman in Bill’s life… and the fact that their daughter, Luna Nozawa, was his sister! Will was much happier to reunite with his mother and opted to live with Katie rather than at his father’s. Like his mother, Will was suspicious of how conveniently Poppy and Luna had become part of the Spencer family, but felt bad for his dad when it turned out that Luna had faked the paternity test and the whole thing was a scam.
Will was instantly drawn to the lovely Electra.
Will also opted to work as an intern at Forrester with his mother instead of for his father at Spencer Publications, though the abundance of pretty models did help influence his decision! He quickly became smitten with Electra Forrester, who was hired as an assistant on the revived jewelry line, though was also concerned about her reluctance to talk about herself and her past.
