The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers are in for Thursday, September 17, 2026. In tomorrow’s episode, there is only one official teaser.

That is that Daphne Rose Walton (Murielle Hilaire) can’t believe her husband’s suggestion. Despite Steffy Forrester Finnegan’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) answer, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is determined to get his way.

Keep reading to find out what is coming up in the CBS soap opera.

Key Takeaways

• Carter refuses to accept Steffy’s rejection.
• Daphne is stunned by Carter’s surrogacy suggestion.
• Steffy’s guilt could make it difficult to refuse Daphne.
• Taylor may realize her daughter is hiding something.
• Katie could continue digging into Dylan’s situation.

Emotional Wife

Let’s start off by talking about Steffy. Carter already went to her for his wild idea in Wednesday’s episode. However, Steffy said no and for multiple reasons.

The lady can’t bear lying to John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) anymore. It’s tearing her apart. Steffy also mentioned that she could never give away her child.

It was too hard for her when she had to give Beth Spencer (Jordyn Grace) to Hope Logan Spencer (Annika Noelle).

It seems all Carter cares about is not getting busted, though. He doesn’t seem to care very much about the toll this is taking on Steffy… and the unborn child.

Wild Idea

Carter went to see Daphne after Steffy said no. Despite the brunette’s objections, which were extremely clear, Carter does it his way.

The man has informed Daphne that they could turn to Steffy.

It is teased that Daphne will be in disbelief and shock over Carter’s suggestion. While the lady wants a baby, being a surrogate is a huge ask to make of someone.

It’s one thing if they offer it themselves, but to ask Steffy of this is huge. 

I could see Daphne going ahead and asking her BFF.

However, this is all because of Carter’s pushing. So, I wonder if things could go sideways for everyone if they follow through with this plan. 

Woman’s Guilt

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers for Thursday, September 17 reveal that Steffy is already consumed with guilt.

When Daphne asks her to be a surrogate, Steffy might not be able to say no.

She knows how much a baby means to Daphne. At the same time, this could destroy whatever friendship Carter and Steffy have.

What Else to Expect

As for what else to expect, Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) could worry about Steffy.

The therapist will know that Steffy is hiding something. Instead of a baby, could Taylor worry that Steffy has relapsed? 

There is also the situation with Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock).

I have a feeling that Katie Logan Spencer (Heather Tom) isn’t going to stop digging, so stay tuned!
