Bold and the Beautiful SHOCKER: Steffy Expecting After Flirtation With Carter?

Bold and the Beautiful has both Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) absolutely distraught right now because both their marriages are falling apart.

And this week, they turn to each other for comfort and that could change everything. Today we’re talking about how Steffy and Carter might share a night of passion that leads to Steffy getting pregnant.

Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy & Carter Connect

All right, right now Steffy and Carter are both devastated at the state of their marriages and there’s a real vibe happening between them while they’re both tipsy. So Steffy told Carter her marriage is over and then he told Steffy that Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) walked out on him. And Steffy and Carter both feel completely abandoned and betrayed by their spouses. As you know, Steffy just came home from Monaco distraught that Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) followed them all the way there.

She’s feeling strong feelings about this. She’s also upset that Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) knew about it, that he didn’t warn her. And of course, Steffy found out the worst possible way. Eight toes on the beach. So, now she feels like she cannot trust Finn. And Steffy insists she’s terrified of Sheila, but I have some qualms on that. I’m not sure her actions match her words because Steffy keeps confronting Sheila.

Steffy has hit Sheila multiple times. She constantly confronts her. She reams her out. That’s pretty fearless stuff. Not what you usually do with people that you’re scared of. But Steffy insists she needs to protect herself and her children from Sheila. And of course, Steffy’s madly in love with Finn and doesn’t want to lose him. But Steffy can’t see a way through. She doesn’t want this to end their marriage, but she’s always gonna put her kids first.

Steffy Digs in Her Heels on B&B

And she truly believes Sheila is a danger to them. Because of that, she doesn’t feel like she can trust Finn right now. And we knew something big was coming because of what Brad Bell teased for Monaco. He said events in Monte Carlo would change lives forever. Most of us were theorizing this would be Sheila’s big redemption moment where she saves somebody, proves that she’s changed, all that kind of stuff.

But instead of her being able to prove anything to Steffy, everything just went sideways. The life-changing event did involve Sheila, but it was a bad life change. She followed Finn to Monaco, lurked on the beach when her flight was delayed, which shouldn’t have been a huge deal, but it sent Steffy over the edge, and she threw her wedding rings at Finn right there on the beach.

Then she got the first flight back to LA and was boozing the whole way from Europe to the West Coast. And now Steffy doesn’t think she can trust her husband. And Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) agrees that he can’t be trusted. So this week, Finn’s fighting really hard for his marriage. But by the time he gets back to LA, things are set in motion and it may be too late because Steffy might wind up with a huge secret of her own that she has to hide.

Carter’s Troubled Marriage on Bold and Beautiful

As for Carter, his life has been completely upended by Daphne’s heartbreaking premature menopause diagnosis. Her ovaries aren’t working right. So, the chances of her and Carter conceiving a child naturally are extremely low. And this is hitting Daphne so hard. She feels really guilty that she can’t give Carter the family he’s always wanted.

So, Daphne thinks she had to walk away from Carter and ended their marriage. Daphne even said their marriage was a mistake, which hit him really hard. But in the end, she believes she’s doing the best thing for Carter. So, she’s going to head back to Paris and then release him to be with somebody who can give him a family.

All of these are red flags and foreshadowing. And Daphne gave her wedding rings back to Carter, but it’s clearly killing her. So this week, we got Steffy back in LA, and Carter’s surprised to see her stumble drunk into the Forrester Creations office. And of course, he’s drunk, too. So, that means he and Steffy are drunk together.

Carter & Steffy May Cross the Line on B&B

Basically, Carter wants to protect Daphne, and she won’t let him. And Steffy wants Finn to protect her, but she feels like he’s not doing it. He’s not doing a good job. And with booze in the mix and then them being at the office all alone, you know, feels like the writing is on the wall because by the end of the most recent episode, Carter had Steffy in his arms. And we had a cliffhanger moment at the end of Monday’s Bold and the Beautiful episode where they almost kissed. We know that Steffy’s back to her place on Tuesday, but she and Carter might cross lines before she heads home to sober up and crawl into her bathrobe.

Bold and the Beautiful: Finn Won’t Give Up

Meanwhile, Finn is speeding back to LA trying to find Steffy. And remember, Finn told Ridge he needs to get to Steffy before something else happens that tears them even further apart. That’s more foreshadowing. So, we may or may not see this on the next episode with Steffy and Carter doing things, but we may see the cheating truth confirmed in a flashback.

You know, assuming Steffy and Carter are going to sleep together, I bet they realize, “Whoops, that was a mistake.” Because Steffy is Daphne’s best friend. And of course, Steffy really doesn’t want her marriage to Finn to be over. So, we may get Steffy and Carter at their places waking up hung over with little memories, scraps of flashback. We’ll see.

And then Daphne is going to be back by the end of this week to talk things over with Carter. And then she also talks to Ridge. So, I suspect if Carter and Steffy do the deed that they will agree to keep it a secret and never tell anyone. That’s well and good, except I suspect Steffy may turn up pregnant because of all the infertility stuff.

Bold and Beautiful: Pregnancy Secret and Surrogacy Cover-Up

And can you imagine how soapy that would be? Because Daphne’s her bestie and she’s got infertility. And if Steffy turned up pregnant with Carter’s kid when Daphne can’t get pregnant with his kid… messy, messy. And if Steffy does turn up pregnant, then this is another pregnancy where she will need another paternity test that she will have to keep secret.

So if it is Carter’s kid, it’s not like Steffy could hide that from Finn. So here’s what I wonder. Remember Steffy mentioned to Daphne that she froze some eggs? And I wonder if that was more foreshadowing that Steffy is not going to just give an egg, but maybe gives her a baby to raise.

I mean, if she really didn’t want Daphne to know that they cheated, Steffy could tell a big lie. She could offer to give Daphne an egg and to be a pregnancy surrogate. And then Steffy could pretend that the baby she and Carter accidentally made is really a surrogacy effort. And then she hands the kid over to Daphne and Carter.

Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy & Carter Keep Their Secrets Hidden

And then Finn and Daphne would never need to know that they cheated. They wouldn’t find out the awful truth that Steffy and Carter went behind their backs. And of course, Steffy could admit to the cheating and give the baby to Carter and Daphne to raise anyway. But at that point, Steffy and Carter’s marriages would implode. Daphne would never talk to Steffy again. It would be such a mess.

But as we know, the truth eventually comes out on soap. So, Daphne and Finn, I think, are going to find out at some point, assuming again that Steffy and Carter do this. They’d be devastated. And Carter did nothing wrong in his marriage to Daphne. We all know Carter’s been nothing but supportive of her.

Daphne’s the one who’s falling apart inside and thinking she needs to leave to do what’s best for him. Plus, she walked out on Carter, so he was technically single. Same for Steffy because she gave back her rings and dumped Finn. By the strictest definition, their marriages were over.

You know, at the point that Steffy and Carter might have wound up in bed together or on the CEO couch together, but Daphne and Finn will still see it as cheating and betrayal. So, we may see Steffy and Carter kissing and groping this week, or we might see them cut away to Steffy home in a robe, talking to Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig), and then having flashbacks of a drunken sofa mistake with Carter. One thing is for sure, as Brad Bell promised, this is all definitely life-changing.
