The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers are in for Monday, August 17, 2026. In the next episode, we can expect John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) to have a new feud.

Meanwhile, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) might be pushed to commit a crime, and it will be all Steffy Forrester Finnegan’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) fault. Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the CBS soap opera.

Key Takeaways

• Finn’s fury erupts after he learns Steffy is missing and realizes Sheila is once again at the center of their marital chaos.
• Ridge and Brooke get an earful as Finn struggles with guilt over the latest mess involving Steffy and Sheila.
• Finn heads back to L.A. hoping to find Steffy and repair the damage before their marriage falls apart.
• Steffy turns to Carter while they both drown their heartbreak in alcohol.
• Steffy could make a shocking confession that leaves Carter feeling compelled to take drastic action against Sheila.
• Carter’s risky decision could change everything.

A Father’s Fury

Let’s start with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). Finn went to Ridge and Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) after not being able to find Steffy.

Finn was hoping BRIDGE would know Steffy’s location, but they hadn’t even heard there was a problem. Once Finn explained it was over Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), he blew up.

Once again, Finn has managed to hurt Steffy because of Sheila. I’m totally Team Sheila over here, but I can also understand Ridge’s frustration.

It’s not like this is a unique experience, as Finn has done things like this before. At some point, Finn needs to pick a side instead of trying to make everyone happy. Life doesn’t work that way. 

John Finnegan’s Guilt

After talking to Ridge and Brooke, Finn will likely try to find another way to find Steffy. The man should assume that Steffy went home.

So, he likely gets on a plane and jets back, hoping to make things right with his wife.

As much as Finn regrets his decisions, he always seems to do the wrong thing in Steffy’s eyes. 

Steffy Forrester Finnegan’s Confession

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for Monday, August 17 reveal that Steffy is back in L.A. and in the office with Carter. They are both drunk and heartbroken.

They have been friends forever, but I’m not convinced this will turn into an affair. From the weekly preview clip, it suggests a different type of dynamic.

I am wondering if Carter is going to kill Sheila for Steffy. I could see him thinking he’s saving the day, but there could be so many unforeseen consequences.

Carter Walton’s Risky Decision

Of course, I might be wrong. Maybe Carter and Steffy get intimate. Could there be an unexpected baby for Steffy?

That could also cause a problem with Steffy and Daphne’s friendship, not to mention Finn!

We know that midweek, Carter tries to reason with Daphne. So, he’s not over her just yet.
