The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Why Are They Doing This to Steffy Forrester?!
B&B spoilers reveal that viewers are upset that Steffy has this type of storyline. But she is exactly the right actress to play the part. On TV, addicts are rarely portrayed as successful CEOs, high-income earners, or loving mothers. But the rates of opioid addicts among female career professionals is skyrocketing.

B&B Spoilers – Not Your Typical Junkie: Functional Addicts and Career Women
In the real world, there are many “functional addicts” who are pros at “playing normal.” They’re very good at pretending and we see that in Steffy. She acts tough and pretends that everything is okay because she doesn’t want anyone’s pity.
Functional addicts do the exact same thing, but avoiding pity isn’t their goal — it’s hiding that they can’t function properly without the drug. It’s rationing the pills so they don’t run out before they can get more. It’s filling the prescriptions at different pharmacies and “doctor hopping.” It’s timing everything perfectly and hiding withdrawal symptoms so nobody gets suspicious.

B&B Spoilers: Thomas Forrester’s Return
Thomas seems to be mentally stable, but some viewers can’t stop associating his past behavior with his true nature. On social media, people are assuming that Thomas will feed Steffy’s addiction. That probably won’t happen because, despite everything, Thomas loves his sister.
One’s true character never really changes, but the behavior does base on motivations, circumstances, and other factors. There is reason to believe that he will try to help Steffy, not hurt her.
The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Vinny Walker Name Dropped
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal that soaps often follow formulas with the writing. One is with name dropping and anvils. It is rare for a missing or occasional character to be mentioned if they are not part of that storyline. The fact that Vinny Walker (Joe LoCicero) was mentioned by Thomas speaks volumes. Vinny has a crush on Steffy and sent flowers, so he very well could supply Steffy opioids or at the very least, she could ask for his help. After all, Vinny was a drug dealer.

If Vinny gives Steffy drugs, Thomas won’t react very well. We could see Thomas’s evil side come out, but it will be to protect Steffy.
The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Saving Steffy Forrester
Thomas was the one person that Steffy couldn’t hide her excruciating pain from. So, it seems that he will also be the first one to see past her facade in the addiction storyline. In addition to dealing with who supplies her pain pills, Thomas will need to get Steffy medical help without creating publicity or a scandal. It’s likely that he will turn to Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan), who will know how to safely treat Steffy’s opioid addiction.
