Bold and Beautiful: Finn’s Boozy Summit Flirt Wrecks His Steffy High Horse

The Bold and the Beautiful fans know Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is keeping the awful secret from Finn (Tanner Novlan) that she and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) got drunk and they had a one night stand the night that Steffy flew home alone, upset from Monaco.

And to make matters worse, as you know, Steffy is pregnant with Carter’s baby. And now Steffy and Carter are staging this fake surrogacy. But soon Finn could make a huge mistake that levels the playing field in their marriage.

Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy Beside Herself

All right. So, right now we’ve got Steffy drowning in guilt over her one night stand with Carter and the fact that she is carrying his baby. Plus, Steffy doesn’t want to give that baby up to Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) and Carter. This is absolutely agonizing for Steffy even to think about it. And now Carter is forcing her to tell even more lies. Steffy is sick at the thought of having to lie to Finn and everybody else for the rest of her life. But despite all that, Steffy seems to be pushing forward with the fake surrogacy scheme because she just told her hubby Finn that she will be the one to give Carter and Daphne the baby that they so desperately want.

And of course, Finn was absolutely stunned and he tried to talk Steffy out of going through the surrogacy, saying that there are plenty of other surrogates out there and that 1 of these other women can give Daphne and Carter the family they want, that it doesn’t have to be Steffy. And Finn doesn’t like the egg donor thing either. So, he’s just not happy. But we know Steffy is going to go through with it because this surrogacy scheme is the only way to hide her and Carter’s secret one night stand and the pregnancy and to salvage both of their marriages.

Finn Blindsided on B&B

But we’ve got Finn reeling from this surrogacy news right at the moment that he is headed out of town for a medical conference and something that happens there could change everything for him and Steffy. So, if you remember, Finn told Steffy that he could bail on the medical conference. Finn said he’d stay home because of how upset that Steffy was. But she told Finn to go and have a good time. Steffy said, “Relax and have a few drinks.”

And that was before she dropped the surrogacy bomb on Finn. So, it immediately got me thinking when Steffy said, “Have fun, have a few drinks, why mention booze?” So Finn’s heading to this conference and he’s stressed out about Steffy. He may do some drinking to forget the drama. But Finn is so stressed out about this surrogacy that I kind of think The Bold and the Beautiful might be setting the stage for him to unintentionally cheat on Steffy. Not in a planned way, in a whoops way.

The same way that Steffy cheated on Finn. So, he’s quite upset about Steffy talking about being Carter and Daphne’s surrogate. And while Finn is away, Steffy may add to the stress. She may call Finn and tell him she agreed to be the surrogate. And Steffy may say, if he objects, “Oh, it’s too late. I already did the procedure.” Because time is of the essence for faking this.

Bold and Beautiful: Finn Gets Wasted?  

And for Steffy to say she did it while Finn’s gone, that absolutely makes sense because then he can’t try and go along to the appointment and Steffy and Carter have to move fast and sell this because there is no procedure because of course Steffy’s pregnant. But then I could see Finn getting really upset because Steffy was supposed to think about it and Finn wanted to discuss it more when he got back from the conference. But Steffy may lie and just say that she already did the procedure. It’s a done deal.

And that might cause Finn to have a little too much to drink and maybe he makes the same kind of mistake that Steffy made. Finn might end up having a one night stand. And this could happen a few ways. You know, Finn might be upset and do some drinking on his work trip and then just like Steffy did, Finn may wake up and realize, “Oh no, I just had a one night stand.” You know, maybe it is a random that he just meets at the bar. Or Finn may chat with a doctor he knows. You know, maybe somebody Finn knows from medical school. And Finn’s one night fling might even show up in LA later for even more drama.

B&B Twist: Finn Has a Baby on the Way Too?

Even worse, if he cheats on Steffy while stressed and drunk. The worst and most insane outcome would be if this woman from the one nighter shows up pregnant. That would be the ultimate irony with Carter having gotten Steffy pregnant on a stressed out one night stand accidentally and then her hubby does the same thing. I’m sure that Finn would be horrified if he woke up next to somebody and would want to confess to Steffy, just like she wanted to confess to Finn.

But then Carter begged her not to. But I could see Finn coming right home and confessing to Steffy, unless of course there is a 3rd twisted possibility. You know how much her mom Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) loves to go to medical conferences. The Bold and the Beautiful has sent Taylor off on so many of them. So, it would be insane if Finn was at the conference and then Taylor showed up at the same conference where Finn is and then Taylor and Finn get drunk and have a one night stand.

Bold and the Beautiful Shocker: Finn & Taylor Turn to Each Other?

Finn is upset about this surrogacy and Taylor’s not happy that Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) has been talking with Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) and that those two have been confiding in each other and getting close again. So, Taylor might take off to the medical conference and then she and Finn talk and then they confide in each other over drinks and the liquor is flowing.

And Taylor and Finn have a few too many drinks and then whoops, the worst possible one night stand that he could have would be with his mother-in-law Taylor. That would be so messy if Finn and Taylor had a whoopsie like that. And it would certainly benefit Sheila because she would end up getting Deacon back. But in a weird way, it would also benefit Steffy because of how she has wronged Finn.

Finn & Steffy on Equal Ground on Bold

Now, I will say in her defense, Taylor’s not really the one night stand type. So, it would be out of character for her. She’s only had 1 one night stand before that I can remember, and that was James Warwick (Ian Buchanan). He was a virgin. He and Taylor were trapped because of an avalanche and James and Taylor thought they were going to die and James didn’t want to die a virgin so Taylor slept with him.

That was back in the Hunter Tylo days. So, that was a special circumstance kind of thing for Taylor. As I said, she doesn’t usually do it. So, if this happens and no matter who it’s with, a drunken one night stand, then Finn would lose the moral high ground that he has right now over Steffy.

Now, Finn doesn’t even know he needs that moral high ground. But he does have it at the moment. But if he does this, then Finn and Steffy would have both had one night stands. So, it’s even Steven, right? But Finn, I think, would still have the upper hand unless his one night stand turned up pregnant, especially if he came home and told Steffy directly. Plus, Steffy has told a lot of other lies to compound the cheating. It would be really wild if Finn not only cheated, but he cheated with Steffy’s mom.

Bold and Beautiful Repeats History?

And The Bold and the Beautiful has done things like this before. Remember Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) cheated on Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) with his dad, Eric Forrester (John McCook)? And I think when she was with Eric, then she cheated with Ridge. I think she did it in both directions.

I’ll have to double check my memory. But I’m sure some of you guys remember. It would not be unprecedented for The Bold and the Beautiful is my point. And it would be devastating for Deacon. He’d probably end up back with Sheila and she wouldn’t be happy that Taylor slept with her son Finn.

We’ll see how it goes. But right now, Steffy is so deeply in the wrong that the Bold and the Beautiful writers might be doing something to lower Finn down to her level. It’ll be really soapy.
