Bold and Beautiful: Carter and Steffy’s Sham Baby Plan Unravels in Shocking Twist

The Bold and the Beautiful reveals that Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) wants Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) to be his and Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire)’s fake surrogate to hide the fact that Steffy is pregnant with Carter’s baby.

We just saw Steffy tell Carter no, but apparently that’s not stopping him. This surrogacy scheme is pushing forward and when Steffy and Carter are busted and the truth comes out, the fallout is going to be epic. Today we’re going to talk about the troubling aftermath from Carter and Steffy’s fake surrogacy scheme.

Bold and the Beautiful: Carter Horrifies Steffy

Although Carter pleaded with Steffy to agree to this fake surrogacy plan to save their marriages, Steffy said no. She told Carter she cannot give up her baby, but he is so desperate he left Steffy and went back to Forrester Creations and started selling it to Daphne. And her initial reaction was shock, but I do think she’ll agree with Carter. It’s a perfect idea because Daphne wants a surrogate they know and trust. Friday spoilers have Steffy caught off guard.

And I think it’s by Daphne telling Steffy how excited she is to hear from Carter that Steffy is going to be their egg donor and surrogate. So, it sounds like Carter does an end run that puts Steffy in the position of telling Daphne, “Oh, okay. Yeah, I’m your surrogate.” Or Steffy will have to say, “I can’t do that because I’m already pregnant with Carter’s baby because he and I cheated on you and Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan).” So, we’re going to see Steffy cornered and basically forced into Carter’s scheme is how I think it’s going to go. I think Steffy will be ticked off about it. And of course, we know that Carter and Steffy’s secret is going to come out.

The Doctors Get Suspicious on B&B

Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) or Finn may look at Steffy’s medical records and see that something is off. Nosy Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) may poke around and find out. The reveal could even be delayed until Steffy delivers the baby and then the timing is off to align to a post Monaco surrogacy. You know, somebody could overhear Carter and Steffy because people love to talk about secrets at Forrester with the door cracked. So, it doesn’t really matter how it comes out. We know it will and the after effects are going to be insane. So many lives will be affected.

Let’s talk about who’s going to be hit hardest. So the first person is Steffy. She does not want to lose Finn. And I’m sure Steffy will say she wanted to tell the truth and she only did this scheme to protect Finn and the kids and that Carter made her. But Steffy’s going to lose the moral high ground with everybody, including Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Sheila.

I think Steffy may end up losing everything. Finn may walk out, especially since he forgave Steffy for her one night stand with Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) in that paternity incident. And Steffy has shredded Finn over Sheila because of the Monaco thing, then cheated and then lied to Finn’s face. And Steffy was plotting to give away her baby behind Finn’s back by the time this scheme sets in. So Steffy’s life’s going to be wrecked.

Bold and Beautiful: Carter Loses It All

The second person obviously affected is Carter, the mastermind of this insane scheme. He will lose his job at Forrester, lose his wife Daphne, lose his best friend Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) all at once, and what happens to Carter and Steffy’s baby? Big question. Carter and Daphne will probably split, so will Carter and Steffy share custody, and Daphne’s cut out is just messy.

You know, Carter can claim, “I was just trying to give Daphne a child.” And Carter may beg Daphne to even keep it secret so Ridge doesn’t fire him. But I think Ridge will assume Carter took advantage of Steffy just like Ridge assumed that Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) took advantage of Steffy in their one night stand. It’s all going to be messy.

Bold and the Beautiful: Daphne Absolutely Devastated

And the next person to be heavily impacted, of course, is Daphne. There’s the double betrayal of Carter cheating with her best friend Steffy and then Carter using Daphne’s baby dream to cover up the cheating. Steffy and Carter are both lying to Daphne’s face. They’re going to be doing it for months to come. So Daphne may ruin Carter and Steffy, publicly expose what they did.

Daphne could name and shame them, and that would really hurt Forrester‘s brand even more. We expect that Carter will be fired. Steffy will be in the doghouse at work. Daphne may cancel the fragrance line. That would be a huge financial hit for Forrester.

All because of Steffy and Carter’s one night stand. The knife in the back is Daphne wanted a surrogate she can trust, and she cannot trust Steffy. We may see Carter trying to negotiate with Daphne and say, “Look, I’ll just move to Paris with you. Anything you want, just don’t out us.” But I think she will.

Finn Goes Ballistic on B&B

And now, let’s talk about Finn. Not only did Steffy cheat on Finn, but Steffy wanted to keep this baby from the cheating, which means Finn would be raising the product of Steffy’s tryst with another man. Now, she could have come clean, confessed to being pregnant, and just lied and said it was not Carter, but some random dude. That would at least protect Carter’s marriage. But since Steffy has been so demanding on Finn about every little thing and he always gives Steffy her way, I think Finn’s going to be crushed and he’s going to feel stupid and he’s going to be mad.

He’s been singing Steffy’s praises like she’s a saint. Finn wants his birth mom, Sheila, in his life, but because it makes Steffy uncomfortable, he gave up on that wish. Finn always does everything Steffy wants every time. And this is the ultimate betrayal. And it’s even worse because Steffy did almost the same thing with Liam. So Finn may walk out because he can’t be with Steffy after he’s shown all this loyalty and she’s just lied to him.

Bold and the Beautiful: Li Turns Her Back on Steffy

Next on the list is Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda). She’s a big fan of Steffy’s. Supports their marriage, but Li hates cheaters, so she may turn on Steffy. Obviously Li won’t let this slide. She loves Finn and I think she’s very fair where Steffy’s concerned because Li doesn’t side with Finn just because he’s her son. But in this case, obviously she has to.

And then of course there’s Ridge. He’s going to be reeling that Steffy got pregnant by Carter, his COO, his best friend, a guy Ridge sees as a brother. Ridge may view this as a huge betrayal from Carter, one of many. You know, first he got with Hope, then she and Carter pulled the coup and Carter took Ridge’s family company from him on Bold and the Beautiful. And now Carter slept with Steffy and then manipulated her into this insane surrogacy scheme. Ridge already asked Daphne if it matters who helps her and Carter have a baby as long as they get the kid and he meant it.

But when Ridge learns this was all a cover up, he may feel like they made him look complicit. Daphne may even turn around and ask Ridge, “Is that why you told me this? Did you know that Carter cheated with Steffy?” I think Ridge is going to lose his mind. I think he’s going to punch Carter and then fire him. And also Ridge may never look at Steffy the same way after all this comes out.

Bold and Beautiful: Sheila Hits the Jackpot

The last person to talk about with this fallout is Sheila. Even if she doesn’t expose Carter and Steffy’s surrogacy scheme, we know that Sheila is opportunistic and she may use this as a way to get closer to Finn. And if Sheila does expose Steffy, it will probably be because she wants Finn and Hayes in her life. And that is something that Steffy has been blocking. So Sheila may blackmail Steffy or just outright expose her if Sheila is the one to find out.

But if somebody else exposes the one night stand and the surrogacy scheme, Sheila may just run to Finn, offer sympathy, support, and worm her way into his life while he’s estranged from Steffy. There were some spoilers a while back saying the Monaco trip leads to life-changing things that involve Sheila. And one of the big pieces of fallout could be that Finn demands that Steffy accept Sheila into their lives in exchange for Finn not walking out on their marriage. This is all going to be so soapy and so messy.
