The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers reveal that John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) could have a new rival to fight with thanks to all the Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor)

and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) conflict.

Finn previously had a rivalry with Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), but they found some common ground after Finn saved Steffy from Luna Nozawa’s (Lisa Yamada) clutches.

Liam paid Finn a visit to thank him for playing the hero and was quite genuine about it.

At this point, Liam has accepted that Steffy and Finn’s marriage is solid.

Since Liam has shifted his attention back to Hope Logan (Annika Noelle), Finn doesn’t have to be in guard dog mode when it comes to Steffy’s ex – at least for now.

However, Finn could still use a male foe to face off for drama’s sake.

Carter and Finn could be the next rivalry that the show’s cooking up depending on how things play out.

We all know Finn can’t stand it if anyone dares to disrespect his wife in any way.

Finn is extremely protective of Steffy, so certainly wouldn’t approve of the accusations and insults Carter’s been throwing at her.

If Finn ever catches Carter and Steffy in a heated confrontation, you can bet he’ll intervene.

Finn may make it clear that if Carter has a problem, he should take it up with him instead!

Based on our B&B predictions, Steffy and Carter’s tension will continue to boil over, so Finn may get caught in the hostility.

There was a time when many fans saw the potential for a nice friendship between Finn and Carter, but that ship may have sailed for now.

Instead, Finn and Carter could be gearing up for a feud that’ll bring some dramatic twists and turns.

Since Finn hasn’t had a whole lot to do on the show lately, a Carter rivalry could help fix that and bring some gripping scenes.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Carter and Finn may have some raging showdowns in their future, so stay tuned for updates on any exciting news to come.
