Bold and the Beautiful: Sheila Blows Up the Sham Baby Deal as Steffy Gets Unmasked

The Bold and the Beautiful reveals that Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is having another man’s baby and we should see the fake surrogacy scheme suggested by Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) coming very soon.

But we know that secrets never stay hidden on The Bold and the Beautiful and Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) may expose the fake surrogacy. Today we’re going to talk about how Steffy’s big secret might be found out by the worst possible person, which would be Sheila. She may figure out what Carter and Steffy are up to and expose them.

Bold and the Beautiful: Syeffy Pregnancy Confirmed

At the end of last week, Steffy found out she’s pregnant and took a couple more tests just to make triple sure. And she is certain Carter is the father because she went to him in a panic and said there’s no way they can hide their drunken night together. Steffy said everybody’s going to know because she turned up pregnant.

And at first, Carter assumed, like everybody would, that the baby was Finn Finnegan‘s (Tanner Novlan) because Carter was only with her once. But Steffy said no. She and Finn have not been intimate since before the Monaco trip because he was working double shifts and they had no time together. So according to Steffy, Carter is definitely the father. And now they’re both freaking out. Then Steffy went home to Malibu. And this week she is in tears and just about to confess to Finn when Carter busts in and stops her.

Once they’re alone under the excuse of talking business, he tells Steffy he’s got the perfect plan. Carter says this will benefit all of them. He’s telling Steffy that it’ll save his marriage to Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) and Steffy’s marriage to Finn. And I’m betting that Carter’s idea is to have Steffy offer to be an egg donor and surrogate for him and Daphne. And he may suggest they stage a fake surrogacy. Carter can even suggest they rush it.

Bold and the Beautiful: Carter’s Shocking Suggestion

So, the timing for a surrogacy versus a one night stand whoopsie will be indistinguishable. We know Carter also goes to Daphne with a suggestion later this week that stuns her. And in the end, I suspect Steffy and Daphne are both going to go along with this with only one of them knowing it’s a scheme. Steffy will likely say yes because she’s desperate to save her marriage to Finn.

And Daphne likely says yes because she’s desperate to start a family with Carter. Plus, Daphne tells Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) this week she’d prefer a surrogate she knows and trusts. And of course, we know this whole secret of Steffy and Carter’s drunken romp and the fact Steffy got pregnant will eventually be exposed.

Daphne and Finn will find out probably later rather than sooner. And at that point, both Steffy and Carter’s marriages will be circling the drain after that. But of course, the question is, after Steffy and Carter set what we assume is a fake surrogacy in motion, who is the one to expose it? Of course, it could be any number of people, but one person crossed my mind. And it would be explosive if she uncovers Steffy and Carter’s secret. And that person, of course, is Sheila.

Sheila Permanently Banned on B&B

So, we know Steffy and Finn are even more adamant after the Monaco stunt that Sheila can never have a place in their lives. It was Finn’s biomom stalking them that set things in motion, resulting in Steffy and Carter’s pregnancy predicament. If not for Sheila tailing Finn to Monaco, then Steffy wouldn’t have been so distraught that she got drunk on the plane and wound up drunk sexing with Carter at the office.

But of course, Sheila still desperately wants to be a part of Finn and Hayes’ life despite this setback, especially because she lost Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) to Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen). Official fall spoilers for The Bold and the Beautiful tell us Sheila is not going to give up trying to get into Finn’s life and she still wants acceptance from Steffy as well.

And Sheila wants to be allowed to be around her grandson Hayes. So the spoiler also says Sheila isn’t going to take no for an answer. Although she wants to win Steffy over, the people Sheila really wants in her life are Finn and Hayes. Sheila is only concerned about Steffy because she’s the gatekeeper of Finn and Hayes.

Bold and Beautiful: Sheila Gets Suspicious

So, I suspect Sheila to be up around the hospital trying to see Finn like she has done. And Sheila obviously is going to hear about Steffy being a surrogate for Daphne. Sheila might even admire Steffy for doing that. But Sheila may also see some inconsistencies with Steffy’s pregnancy because don’t forget Sheila used to be a medical professional. She was a nurse.

So, she may get suspicious and Sheila may do some snooping while she is stalking Finn. We know that Sheila loves to disguise herself as a nurse and creep around. Remember, that’s how Sheila busted Taylor and Deacon for their affair. And Sheila pulled that off even when she was banned from the hospital.

So, if she thinks that Steffy is up to something and that it’ll hurt Finn, I could absolutely see Sheila slipping into that nurse outfit and creeping around the hospital or at whatever fertility clinic that Steffy supposedly uses for this surrogacy scheme. She and Carter might lie and never go to the clinic. I don’t know if they’re going to mention this or not, by the way. They don’t even need to do IVF with Steffy as the egg donor. They can do what’s called IUI, which is intrauterine insemination.

I know this because I had fertility issues. They take the sperm specimen and spin it down to where it’s just concentrated and then they insert it directly way deep into your uterus and it’s supposed to help you get pregnant more easily. So, they don’t actually have to delay anything and wait for timing for IVF because Steffy could say, “Oh, I’m fertile right now.” And they don’t have to use a frozen egg. They can just use a regular egg. Either way, clearly she can lie.

Sheila Beelines to Finn on Bold

Steffy can say that she went to the clinic. Carter can lie and say he went and gave his sperm sample. And then Steffy can fast forward to Daphne and Carter getting to see the ultrasound of their baby. You know, Steffy can go to the appointments alone and just bring printouts that don’t have specific information on it. The most likely person to catch this scheme is a medical professional.

So, Sheila might get suspicious, go into Steffy’s records or sneak into the clinic and find out there’s no record of IVF or insemination. And if Sheila is the one to discover the wild surrogacy secret, then Steffy’s going to have a whole new set of problems. If Sheila figures it out, there’s a couple of ways that she could go with this. She could go to Finn and expose Steffy’s lies and cheating and say there is no surrogacy. She’s just pregnant with Carter’s baby.

Bold and the Beautiful: Finn May Leave Steffy

And you know, Finn would probably dump Steffy, which is what she’s scared of. And if so, then that would be great for Sheila because Steffy would no longer be an obstacle. We know that Finn is convinced that Sheila’s changed and he actually wants her in his life. Finn even tried to convince Steffy, but she blew up at him. So, if Sheila blows this up and breaks up Finn and Steffy, then she would probably get to see Finn and Hayes. But Sheila could take a different route and instead she may blackmail Steffy into allowing her into their lives.

Sheila may tell Steffy, “Accept me into your family. Or, I will tell Finn everything and you’re going to lose him.” And if Sheila did that, I expect Steffy might have to fold and let her in even though she would hate it. From there, Finn might be suspicious of why Steffy did a one-eighty on his biological mom. In the end, we know it’ll eventually come out. The question is who figures it out and who exposes it and what’s the fallout because Sheila Carter would be the most dramatic option.
