Finn’s Dark Side Comes Out, He Plans to Kill Liam During Surgery | The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers

In an explosive twist that could shake The Bold and the Beautiful to its very core, Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan — long praised as the ideal partner, devoted father, and upstanding doctor — may be hiding a dangerous secret. This gripping hypothetical storyline explores what might happen if Finn’s darker impulses, inherited from his infamous biological mother Sheila Carter, finally come to the surface… with deadly consequences.

From the moment Sheila Carter crashed Finn and Steffy’s wedding with the shocking revelation that she was Finn’s birth mother, fans have wondered: could Finn have inherited her sinister streak? Sheila, one of the most notorious villains in daytime television, has committed countless crimes over the years. Her obsession with connecting with Finn nearly cost him his life — literally — when she shot both Finn and Steffy during a violent outburst. Against all odds, Finn survived and even showed compassion toward Sheila later, saving her life during a medical emergency.

To many, Finn’s ability to show empathy and forgiveness, even toward someone as dangerous as Sheila, proves his moral strength. But what if that calm demeanor and quiet charm are just a mask? What if behind the caring doctor and devoted husband lies something far more sinister?

Enter Liam Spencer — Steffy’s ex and the father of her daughter, Kelly. Though Liam and Steffy have long since moved on, their shared past and child keep them perpetually entangled. Liam has never hidden his mistrust of Finn, especially after learning of Finn’s connection to Sheila. He spent much of the summer of 2023 warning Steffy and anyone who would listen that Finn posed a threat, planting seeds of doubt and painting himself as Steffy’s protector.

For Finn, Liam’s constant meddling could have become intolerable. No matter how hard he tried to move forward with Steffy, Liam’s presence loomed like a shadow, always undermining their relationship. Even Thomas — Steffy’s own brother — once warned Finn to watch out for Liam and his tendency to flip-flop between Steffy and Hope.

All this pressure could push even the most patient man to the edge. Now imagine that Finn, after suppressing his resentment for so long, finally reaches his breaking point — and decides to take matters into his own hands.

In this dark and dramatic twist, Finn could plot to eliminate Liam once and for all… not with a confrontation or threat, but on the operating table. As a trusted surgeon, Finn would have both access and knowledge to carry out such a chilling plan — and make it look like a tragic medical accident. With full control over the surgical environment, he could manipulate the situation to ensure Liam doesn’t make it out alive. Who would suspect the brilliant, compassionate doctor of such a heinous act?

But murder — especially one cloaked in surgical gloves — has consequences. If the truth were to surface, it would devastate Steffy. She has always stood by Finn, defending him against skepticism from friends and family alike. She believed he was nothing like Sheila, that his love for her and their son Hayes was real. Discovering that Finn orchestrated Liam’s death would shatter her completely — not just from grief, but from betrayal.

Steffy’s trust would be destroyed. Her reaction would be swift and fierce: ending the marriage, cutting Finn out of her life, and fighting to keep him away from Hayes. After witnessing what Sheila was capable of, she would recognize that same dangerous capacity in Finn — and would stop at nothing to protect her children.

The fallout would be catastrophic. Finn, once seen as a hero, would find himself isolated, his medical career and personal life in ruins. Would he show remorse? Or would he embrace the darkness, blaming everyone else for pushing him to the edge? Would he fight Steffy for custody of Hayes, potentially leading to a tense courtroom battle — one that pits his rights as a father against his criminal actions?

This chilling scenario opens the door to countless questions: Was Finn always harboring a hidden darkness? Did his genetics overpower his noble upbringing? Or did Liam’s relentless provocations truly drive him over the edge?

In many ways, this storyline would mirror Sheila’s own path — using manipulation and violence to protect what she believes is hers. It would be a full-circle moment, with Finn, despite all his efforts to be better, falling victim to the very legacy he tried to escape.

Ridge Forrester, Steffy’s father, would no doubt feel justified in his previous doubts about Finn. He never trusted the connection to Sheila and previously backed Liam’s attempts to push Steffy away from Finn. If the truth about Liam’s death came out, Ridge would likely be the first to rally behind Steffy, determined to shield her and Hayes from further harm.

The ripple effects of Liam’s death would shake the Logan and Forrester families alike. Hope Logan, Liam’s on-again, off-again partner, would be devastated. The loss of Liam would reignite old rivalries, deepen existing wounds, and spark a chain reaction of accusations, heartbreak, and even revenge.

As for Steffy, she has weathered countless storms — infidelity, betrayal, addiction, and even being shot. But the realization that her beloved husband is a killer might be the most harrowing challenge yet. Would she be able to find peace again? Could she ever trust another man with her heart — or her children?

And what of Hayes? If Finn did inherit Sheila’s capacity for violence, would Hayes one day show those same traits? It’s a haunting question that would torment Steffy as she looks toward the future.

In true Bold and the Beautiful fashion, a storyline like this would be steeped in emotional complexity, moral ambiguity, and shocking twists. It would not only explore the nature-vs-nurture debate but also redefine Finn as one of the most layered and controversial characters in the show’s history.

Whether or not the show ever takes this bold leap, one thing is certain — The Bold and the Beautiful thrives on stories that blur the line between love and obsession, heroism and villainy. And if Finn were to reveal his darkest side, it would be a moment fans would never forget.
