Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy and Carter Hit Harsh Blowback as Secret Blows Open!

The Bold and the Beautiful has Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) determined that he and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) must keep their steamy night together a secret, but we know it’s not going to stay hidden forever.

And eventually the truth is going to come out and Steffy and Carter’s spouses are going to be absolutely crushed. We’re going to discuss the possible fallout from Steffy and Carter’s secret being exposed because it is supposed to come to a head by the end of this week. But whether that means fully exposed or not remains to be seen.

Bold and the Beautiful: Carter & Steffy’s Secret Safe…for Now

And now let’s talk about the consequences coming for them. So, we saw that Carter convinced Steffy to not tell Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) even though Steffy said she couldn’t hide this from her husband. But Carter made it clear he would lose Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) forever. Whereas Steffy’s hubby may not dump her over their one night drunken whoopsie.

But I suspect that Steffy may crack and she may tell Finn anyway despite telling Carter she would keep it zipped. So, by the end of this week, we have Finn apologizing to Steffy, just going on and on about how sorry he is he didn’t tell her that Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) was in Monaco, and we’ve got Finn just sucking up. And all these apologies are making Steffy feel guilty.

Finn Grovels to Steffy on B&B

So, this week, Finn tells Steffy he was going to tell her at lunch that day in Monaco that Sheila got on the plane. But then they saw her on the beach before he could. Obviously, timing matters. So, Steffy might feel like she can’t sit on the Carter secret because she laid into Finn for keeping a secret.

And once it comes out, things are going to spiral. Let’s talk about what’s next. So first, I think Steffy might tell Finn despite her agreeing to keep quiet despite what she told Carter. Finn will likely forgive Steffy. Maybe. I think he likely will, but he may blame Carter. So, Finn might march right over to Forrester Creations and just punch Carter right in the face.

I’m assuming that Finn may not blame Steffy because he lets her get away with everything. Finn might even blame himself, which would be awful. If Steffy tells him she was so hurt by the Sheila secret that she got drunk, Finn may decide that Carter took advantage and he may go just punch him.

Bold and Beautiful: Finn Hits Carter Where it Hurts

So, second, if Finn finds out, yeah, he might hit Carter. Or Finn may go directly to Daphne and tell her that their spouses slept together. Even if Steffy begs him not to tell Daphne or to confront Carter, even if Finn doesn’t tell Daphne, if Finn confronts Carter, then Daphne may find out that way.

She could walk into one of the offices at Forrester and overhear Finn ranting at Carter for sleeping with Steffy. And as we know on B&B, everyone overhears everything at Forrester Creations. And if Daphne walks in on it or she overhears it, obviously she would be crushed and furious.

Another possibility is Finn may surprise all of us and he may go off on Steffy if she admits she slept with Carter. There’s a chance Finn could actually walk out on Steffy. I mean, honestly, Finn blowing up is what he should do after all the times that Steffy has made demands on him and he caved.

Finn Leaves Steffy on B&B?

Finn does everything Steffy wants. He’s extremely good to her. He always puts her and the kids first. And then Steffy was so harsh to him over Sheila following him to Monaco, even though Finn did everything he could to get Sheila to turn around and go back to LA.

After how good Finn has been to her, you know, Steffy cheated on him and he’s never been unfaithful to her. So, it would actually be kind of amazing if Finn packed a bag and left Steffy because this is not the first time she cheated. Steffy slept with Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) when they were together and now she cheated with Carter. So honestly, Finn should walk out.

Bold and the Beautiful: Finn Stays Quiet for Steffy

We may also see an outcome where Steffy comes clean to Finn, but convinces him to keep quiet and not confront Carter and not tell Daphne. And honestly, Finn may do that, but then if Steffy turns up pregnant, then it could all explode a few weeks down the road, even if she keeps a lid on it for now.

Or it may blow up a little bit but not fully. You know, Finn might get angry at Steffy. Maybe even threaten to leave her. But then somehow Finn’s able to move past it and forgive Steffy and things seem fine and then all of a sudden, boom, pregnancy bombshell.

That would make everything explode ten times worse than just a cheating scandal. And if that happens and Steffy turns up pregnant, she’s going to need her third paternity test. One for every pregnancy to find out if her baby daddy is Finn or Carter on Bold and the Beautiful.

Finn & Steffy’s Future at Risk on B&B

So, this week, Finn tells Steffy that nothing in the future will come between them, but if in the future she turns up pregnant, I think that would come between her and Finn. One final option is that it could all blow up. Every possible negative consequence could come exploding out. We could see Finn walk out on Steffy, leave their home. We could see Daphne walk out on Carter over the cheating. Or we could see both their marriages ruined.

And then bam, we also find out that Steffy is pregnant and you know, maybe by Carter. And then in a fit of guilt over doing her best friend Daphne so dirty, we could see Steffy go to Daphne and offer to let her adopt the baby if it’s Carter’s kid. That would be interesting. Steffy might give Daphne the gift of motherhood to basically try and redeem herself for sleeping with Carter.

That could get Daphne to forgive Carter and give their marriage another chance because now they’d have a child that is at least biologically half Carter. So it would be similar to Steffy donating an egg to Carter and Daphne except for the pesky fact that she slept with Carter and got that egg fertilized directly. But then to make things even soapier, if Steffy’s pregnant and can’t part with the baby, things could get even crazier.

Bold and Beautiful: Steffy Can’t Give Up Her Baby

We know that Steffy’s an extremely devoted mother to Kelly and Hayes. She loves her children more than anything. So, she might struggle to give up the child, even if it’s not Finn’s baby. Like, remember when Steffy adopted Beth (not knowing that was Hope Logan’s (Annika Noelle) kid), and then they all found out, and then Steffy had to give up the baby?

That was super hard on her. And that child wasn’t biologically hers at all. So, even if there’s a baby that comes from this one night stand and keeping the baby could destroy her marriage, Steffy still might want the kid. So, she might consider letting Carter and Daphne adopt the baby and then has second thoughts.

It’d be even worse if she let them adopt and then she had second thoughts. And if we see a situation where Steffy can’t stay out of the kid’s life, that would be ongoing drama that would give us things to talk about for years to come. And to be fair, Daphne ended her marriage to Carter and handed back her ring.

Bold and the Beautiful: Finn Makes Excuses for Steffy

So, she’s got to blame herself to some extent. I mean, Daphne might actually be angrier with Steffy than Carter. Meanwhile, over at the cliff house, Finn might rationalize it that Steffy called it quits and gave him back her rings and then slept with Carter when she thought their marriage was over.

So likewise, Finn might blame Carter more than he does Steffy. So the low drama option is the cheating secret stays hidden and Carter doesn’t have to face an angry Daphne or an angry Finn and Steffy doesn’t turn up pregnant. But that would be really dull and not soapy at all. I’m expecting that Steffy will be expecting soon, so wait and see.
