The March 3 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful didn’t go so far as to break up Hope and Carter, and Steffy and Finn. But it certainly shined a spotlight on the writing on the wall — writing that read, “Brace yourselves, big changes are coming!”
On one end of the canvas, we had Hope getting an eyeful of Carter kissing Daphne and listening a little too intently as she played on his guilty post-coup conscience. On the other, we had Taylor flat-out insisting that Steffy dump Finn even though so far as any of them know, his murderous newfound daughter is still behind bars. Since Bold & Beautiful is infamous for hitting us over the head with plot twists well before they happen — remember last year when the show came out and said Finn was Luna’s real father? — it’s not hard to predict what’s coming next.
Especially when Luna uses a dissociative-identity disorder defense to get out of prison, Steffy will reluctantly leave Finn. One killer in the family, she could put up with. But two? That’s pushing it. Then Bold & Beautiful will hurtle us toward the reunion of Steffy and Liam at which it’s been hinting… just in time to plop the former marrieds in a love triangle with Ivy. (Will someone, anyone please tell Liam she’s back in town?)
As for Hope and Carter, well, their split will be a lot less shocking. They got together basically overnight, were in love the day after that, and he started wondering about the wisdom of letting her play his Lady MacBeth a day after that. (OK, it was more than a day but not much!) The show will move him into a new Forrester-approved relationship with Daphne, and as for Hope…
Yep. With Finn’s marriage to Steffy in tatters, he’ll find himself leaning once more on Hope. And this time, there will be nothing stopping him from returning her affections. What do you think will happen? Place your bet in our poll below.
