‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ fans surprised by Finn’s emotional reaction

In the past few months, The Bold and the Beautiful fans have learned a lot about Finn’s history. His adoptive parents are Jack and Li Finnegan (Ted King and Naomi Matsuda), and his birth mother is famed villain Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). Finn’s life has been in upheaval ever since the revelation that Sheila’s his mother. But things will be more complicated now that Finn knows the truth about his paternity.

The worst-kept secret is finally out. Jack confessed to being Finn’s biological dad, which of course, has Finn shocked and angry. Finn lashing out at Jack for his betrayal is an emotional scene and one that impressed fans.

The Bold and the Beautiful fans took to Twitter to praise Finn for his recent performance. “Bout time we got to see some true gritty emotion out of this character. Finn is cute and all but so bland. We need SPICE!” Another commenter chimed in with, “WOOOOOH! Finn snapped! I was living for this moment.”

The Finnegan family in crisis

Sheila’s return has created havoc in everyone’s lives. Aside from disrupting Finn and Steffy’s marriage, she may have also ended Jack and Li’s relationship. Sheila was the one who encouraged Jack to confess in hopes of bringing her and Finn closer. Sheila may end up getting her wish.

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Speculation Is Sheila Really Finn’s Mother?

The tight-knit Finnegan family is in shambles. Although Li is upset with her husband’s deception, she seems willing to forgive him. Yet, the same can’t be said for Finn. He’s hurt over his father’s betrayal, and no matter how much Jack tells him things won’t change, they have.

The man whom Finn admired is nothing more than an adulterer and liar. Finn will never be able to look at Jack the same way again. With Finn’s emotions running high, he’ll turn to the one person everyone doesn’t want him near.

Will Sheila Carter corrupt Finn?

The Bold and the Beautiful fans love angry Finn, and they could be seeing a more sinister side to him. Finn’s known as a good guy, yet his recent performance is sparking speculation a character transformation is underway. As Sheila’s son, one must wonder if Finn will inherit any of his mother’s dangerous behavior.

With Finn’s relationship with Jack strained, Sheila’s going to pounce on the opportunity to further drive a wedge between the two. With Jack and Li out of the picture, Sheila will have what she’s always wanted. Sheila has a manipulative side, and Finn’s going to be her latest victim.

Since Finn’s in a vulnerable state, Sheila will convince him that everyone’s an enemy. With Finn falling for his mother’s manipulations, his new attitude could lead to a divorce from Steffy and further estrangement with his adoptive parents.
