B&B SPOILERS: FINN FINNEGAN PUTS RIDGE FORRESTER IN HIS PLACE OVER STEFFY

TL;DR: On the latest Bold and the Beautiful, Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) finally shuts down Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) interrogation about his loyalty to Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) caught in the middle as Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) remains a divisive issue for the family.

The tension between Ridge and Finn just hit a breaking point, and honestly? It was a LONG time coming!

After weeks of Ridge side-eyeing his son-in-law and questioning every move he makes regarding Luna — you know, Finn’s newly discovered biological daughter who also happens to be the psycho who kidnapped Steffy — Finn finally drew a line in the sand. And it was glorious.

Did Finn Tell Steffy About Luna Being Alive?

No, Finn has not told Steffy that Luna is alive and currently under house arrest at Bill Spencer’s mansion.

Finn made it crystal clear to Ridge and Brooke that he has no intention of dropping this bombshell on Steffy while she’s overseas with the kids trying to heal from her trauma. Ridge asked point-blank if Finn had spoken to Steffy about Luna, and Finn shut that down immediately. He’s keeping this secret until Steffy comes home.

Now, is this the RIGHT call? Ridge and Brooke seemed to think so in the moment, agreeing it’s best to wait. But let’s be real — when has keeping secrets from Steffy Forrester EVER ended well? The woman has a sixth sense for being lied to, and when she finds out everyone knew Luna was alive while she was gone?

Buckle up.

Finn believes he’s protecting his wife by not burdening her with this nightmare while she’s trying to recover. He’s drawing a boundary between his role as Luna’s biological father and his primary responsibility as Steffy’s husband. But here’s the thing — Steffy isn’t some fragile flower who needs to be sheltered. She’s a Forrester! She’s survived Sheila Carter (multiple times!), a motorcycle accident, addiction, and more drama than most people see in three lifetimes.

Keeping her in the dark? That’s going to backfire spectacularly.

Why Is Ridge Questioning Finn’s Loyalty to Steffy?

Ridge is terrified that Finn’s biological connection to Luna will compromise his judgment when it comes to protecting Steffy and the kids.

And look, from Ridge’s perspective? I kind of get it. Luna didn’t just hurt Steffy — she drugged her, kidnapped her, locked her in a cage, and nearly killed her! That’s not exactly “let’s have Sunday dinner” material. The fact that Luna is now Finn’s daughter creates this impossibly complicated situation where Finn might feel torn between his wife and his child.

Ridge operates from old-school patriarch mode. For decades, he’s been the ultimate protector of his kids, swooping in to save the day (or cause more drama, depending on the situation). He sees Finn as a potential weak link — someone whose loyalty could be split between Steffy and Luna. So Ridge has been doing what Ridge does best: questioning, interrogating, and generally making Finn feel like he’s on trial.

But Finn pushed back HARD this time. He reminded Ridge that Steffy and their children are his FIRST priority. Period. No matter what biological connection he has to Luna, his loyalty lies with the family he chose and built with Steffy. Ridge actually backed off after that exchange, which is rare for him!

The real question? How long will Ridge stay backed off before he’s questioning Finn again?

What Happens When Steffy Returns and Learns the Truth?

When Steffy comes back to Los Angeles and discovers Luna is alive, her marriage to Finn could be in serious jeopardy.

Think about it from Steffy’s perspective. She leaves town to recover from the worst trauma of her life — being terrorized by a lunatic who turned out to be her husband’s biological daughter. She’s overseas trying to heal, process, and protect her children from any more chaos. Meanwhile, back in LA, Finn is having secret meetings with Luna, defending his right to handle the situation, and keeping all of this from Steffy.

Oh, and Luna is pregnant with Will Spencer’s baby, which means there’s going to be a custody battle involving Bill Spencer and Katie Logan. So Finn’s not just dealing with a criminal daughter — he’s about to become a grandfather to a child who’s permanently connected to Steffy’s abuser.

How’s THAT for a soap opera nightmare?

Steffy is going to feel betrayed on multiple levels. First, that Finn kept this massive secret from her. Second, that her own FATHER agreed this was the right call and also didn’t tell her. Third, that there’s now a permanent biological link between her family and the woman who tried to kill her.

Spoiler alert — this is NOT going to go over well.

Fans are already speculating that Steffy might even consider divorce when she learns the truth. And honestly? I wouldn’t put it past her. Steffy Forrester has never been the type to just accept being kept in the dark, especially when it comes to her safety and her children’s safety.

Is Ridge Right to Question Finn About Luna?

Ridge’s concerns aren’t entirely unfounded, but his approach is absolutely making things worse.

Let’s break this down. Finn has proven himself over and over as a devoted husband and father. He stood by Steffy during her addiction recovery. He protected her from Sheila Carter even when it meant confronting his own biological mother. He’s been nothing but solid for Steffy and their kids.

But now? He’s biologically connected to ANOTHER dangerous woman. Ridge isn’t wrong to be concerned that Finn might develop paternal feelings for Luna that could cloud his judgment. The man is a doctor — his whole identity is built around healing and helping people. What if those instincts kick in and he starts trying to “save” Luna from the consequences of her actions?

That said, Ridge questioning Finn’s loyalty at every turn is only creating more conflict. Finn isn’t some spineless guy who’s going to choose a criminal daughter over his wife. He’s made his priorities clear repeatedly. Ridge needs to either trust his son-in-law or admit he’ll NEVER trust anyone with Steffy because no one will ever be good enough in his eyes.

And speaking of trust issues — where was all this protective energy when Liam Spencer was bouncing between Steffy and Hope Logan like a tennis ball for YEARS? Just saying!

The real issue here isn’t about whether Finn is trustworthy. It’s about two men with different types of authority — the patriarch versus the husband — battling over who gets to make decisions about Steffy’s safety and future.

Ridge has been the ultimate decision-maker in Steffy’s life since she was born. Finn is asserting his right as her husband to handle their family’s crises. This isn’t about Luna at all. It’s about power, control, and who gets the final say.

What’s Next for Finn and Ridge?

Could this mean Finn and Ridge are headed for an all-out war when the Luna situation escalates? Don’t be surprised if this fragile peace between them shatters the moment Steffy returns.

Finn’s declaration that Steffy and the kids are his priority might have satisfied Ridge for now, but we all know how quickly things spiral in soap land. Luna’s legal situation is about to get even messier. Bill and Katie are reportedly going to seek custody of Luna’s baby, which will force Finn to take a side.

Will he support the Spencers taking his grandchild away from Luna completely? Or will his paternal instincts — possibly encouraged by his mothers Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) and Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) — lead him to fight for some relationship with the baby?

If Finn chooses to have ANY connection to Luna’s child, Ridge is going to see that as the ultimate betrayal of Steffy. And when Steffy comes home to find out her husband kept secrets and her father questioned his loyalty? The Forrester family dynamics are about to EXPLODE.

This has all the makings of a classic B&B love triangle — but this time, instead of being about romance, it’s about loyalty, family, and where you draw the line between biological connection and chosen family.

Given Finn’s history with Sheila, where his biological ties constantly created marital problems, it’s hard not to wonder if history is about to repeat itself. Only this time, the stakes are even higher because Luna didn’t just threaten Steffy — she actively tried to eliminate her.

Can Finn and Steffy’s marriage survive this? Or is Luna going to be the wedge that finally breaks them apart for good?
