The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers Friday, September 18: Daphne Blindsides Steffy – Carter’s Baby Plan Explodes

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers are in for Friday, September 18, 2026. In tomorrow’s episode, we will see Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) get blindsided.

Meanwhile, John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) bonds with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the CBS soap opera.

Key Takeaways

• Daphne’s next move catches Steffy off guard.
• Carter continues pushing his controversial baby plan.
• Steffy’s guilt and pressure continue to build.
• Taylor turns to Finn with concerns about Steffy.
• Finn’s adoption history could come back into focus.

Carter Walton Insists

Let’s start off with Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor). The man has once again turned to Steffy with an impossible request.

The man already tried to pressure Steffy once before about the egg donor/surrogate scheme. The lady said no, but Carter didn’t stop there.

Now the man has put the idea in Daphne Rose Walton’s (Murielle Hialire) head. Then, the man went back to Steffy for a second time to push her to make it seem like the egg donor/surrogacy is her idea.

Caught off Guard

Steffy has no issue telling Carter no, but what happens when Daphne comes to her?

Steffy would do anything for her BFF, but she’s also filled with guilt.

It’s really starting to seem like Steffy will be pressured into agreeing to the scheme.

However, Steffy’s guilt is just going to get worse. I even wonder if the stress could affect the baby somehow. 

A Concerned Mother

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for Friday, September 18 reveal that Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) could tell that something was bothering Steffy.

While the lady tried to get Steffy to spill the details, the daughter refused. 

Next, Taylor will turn to Finn for some answers. However, Finn doesn’t know much more than Taylor.

We know from a weekly preview clip that Taylor ends up warning Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) that something seems off with their daughter. 

Taylor might end up dismissing it. However, when Steffy announces the egg donor and surrogacy news, Taylor could remember back to her daughter feeling sick. 

What Else to Expect

As for what else to expect, we might see some flashbacks of Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) and Jack Finnegan (Ted King).

Finn’s adoption story was mentioned in Thursday’s episode, so it sounds like we might get reminded of the past. 

Finally, will we finally see what Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) has been up to?

It seems the lady has been quiet and behaving for a bit too long.

While she is a changed woman, we also don’t want the character to be boring.

So, she’s gotta be plotting something to get Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) back!
