Elizabeth Avalon "Beth" Spencer is the biological daughter of Liam Spencer and Hope Logan.
Conception[]
Beth's father Liam Spencer found out that his wife Steffy Forrester has an ongoing affair with his father after promising him that all they had was a one night stand. He tried to forgive her before that for the sake of their child Kelly Spencer and to save their marriage, but an ongoing affair was too much for him. He broke things off with Steffy and went straight to see his first love Hope Logan. Hope was very vocal about wanting Liam back and Steffy not being a reliable partner for him so she was more than happy when Liam told her about Steffy and his dad and asked her to marry him. Hope agreed and the two made love. In the morning Liam filed the annulment and his marriage to Steffy was over. Hope and Liam were preparing to spend their lives together, but Liam found out that Steffy didn't really have an ongoing affair with his father and decided to give the mother of his child another chance. He got engaged to Steffy and planned their future, but plans changed when Hope realized that she's pregnant and she told Liam about it. Liam told Steffy about it and he said that he can't marry her now. He was trying to choose between two mothers of their children, but after Steffy saw him kissing Hope she decided to get out of the race. Hope and Liam got married and were waiting for their daughter's arrival. They decided to name her Beth after Hope's maternal grandmother Beth Logan.
Background[]
Beth Spencer was born to Liam Spencer and Hope Logan in August of 2016. She's Brooke Logan's third granddaughter next to Nicole Marone (who was stillborn in 2006) and Lizzy Forrester (who named after her as well, born in May of 2016). Beth is also the sixth grandchild of Brooke next to Nicole Marone (stillborn), Eric Forrester lll (stillborn), Logan Knight, Dylan Spencer (miscarried) and Lizzy Forrester.
Beth is the half maternal-sister of Dylan Spencer, who died as result of a miscarriage in December of 2014. Their mother Hope adopted Douglas Forrester after the death of his biological mother Caroline Spencer II in 2019.
Beth is the paternal-half sister of Aspen Spencer who died as result of a miscarriage in 2013 and Kelly Spencer who was born in June of 2018. She's the first grandchild of Hope's biological father, Deacon Sharpe and the second child with the namesake of her great-grandmother Beth Henderson next to cousin Lizzy Forrester.
Beth Spencer is Bill Spencer Jr. and Kelly Hopkins's second granddaughter and fourth grandchild next to Aspen, Dylan and Kelly Spencer. Beth and her sister Kelly bonded since Beth was born and was raised with her, since she was a newborn because of a adoption scheme by Reese Buckingham (who had gambling debt to pay so he stole Beth from her parents at birth and his ex-girlfriend Flo Logan (Hope's cousin), unknown to her that her mother was Hope, pretended to be the birth mother and still continued to pose as her mother and kept it a secret from everyone, and was adopted by Steffy Forrester who had no idea the baby was kidnapped by Dr. Buckingham, Steffy adopted her because she wanted a little sister for Kelly after the presumptive stillbirth of Beth.
Beth is reunited with her parents Liam and Hope in August of 2019. She has been raised with Hope's adopted son Douglas as siblings and bonded before Beth was revealed to be alive due to the adoption scheme. Beth was previously named Phoebe when she was unknowingly illegally adopted by Steffy, after Hope's cousin Flo and Dr. Buckingham schemed together and tricked Steffy into adopting Beth, named after her late twin-sister Phoebe Forrester. She became the main focus face of Hope's fashion line at Forrester Creations.
Beth was switched at birth with a stillborn baby girl who was the pregnant blonde women in the clinic's stillborn daughter. She asked Reese to take care of her stillborn daughter but instead was given to Beth parents by Reese and made them believe ‘Beth’ died at birth. Everyone from Reese Buckingham , Flo Fulton, Zoe Buckingham, Xander Avant, Thomas Forrester, Shauna Fulton and Emma Barber (before her death) knew Beth was alive and created a pact to keep it secret. Thomas married Hope knowing Beth was alive and living with his sister Steffy in July of 2019. Beth was there to interrupt it for a short moment, but the marriage was annulled in later summer of 2019 due Thomas being abusive and obsessive towards Hope and his own son, Douglas. It was later reveled that Thomas was suffering a brain hemorrhage that caused him to act out, and that's why he acted the way he did towards Hope and Douglas.
Biography[]
Beth was born to Hope Logan on the island of Catalina on January 4, 2019. Dr. Reese Buckingham, told Hope and Liam their daughter had passed away during delivery. He also posed as an adoption agent and with the assistance of his former lover, Flo Fulton (Hope's cousin), who posed as the mother, and illegally adopted Hope's daughter out to an unknowing Steffy. Taylor Hamilton paid $250,000 to Reese to assure that Steffy would be able to adopt Beth who she named Phoebe after her twin sister. For the first few months of her life, she was raised and cared for by Steffy Forrester.
Beth had a bond with her parents from the start, Liam and Hope felt the bond as soon as they held her and it only grew from there. Steffy saw this too and took the girls under the premise that she wanted to give them the time to heal over losing Beth but the connection was still there even when she returned. Hope fought it the most, even ending her marriage to Liam and insisting that Liam go and be a father to Beth/Phoebe as well as Kelly which when she kicked him out, he went and moved in with Steffy to be near his daughters. Beth called Liam da da and even ended up saying mama to Hope as well which didn't sit too well with Steffy.
The truth about Phoebe Forrester II being Beth Spencer comes out thanks to Douglas, when he overhears his father Thomas on the phone threatening Flo about telling anyone the truth about Beth being alive and that she was Phoebe, if she does then, she would end up like Emma who he ran off the road, killing her but Douglas told Liam, Hope and Steffy anyway. Liam then went to confront Flo and get her to confirm that Phoebe was indeed Beth and when she did, he went straight to Hope to tell her that Beth is alive and that she is Phoebe. She is living with her parents now after they learned the truth that their daughter was alive and moved onto her grandmother's property.
Beth's parents remarried for the second time in summer of 2020 off-screen in a courthouse wedding with her and Douglas present after Liam and Hope reunited, because of Douglas father Thomas Forrester scheme to break up her parents backfired.
