"I can no longer stand him now"- Finn's silence on Hope's actions sparks frustration among The Bold and the Beautiful fans

Debuted on March 23, 1987, The Bold and the Beautiful is one of the longest-running soap operas. It has attracted the audience with its unique characters and dramatic storylines for over three decades.

Actor Tanner Novlan plays Dr. John "Finn" Finnegan, one of the show's most prominent characters. As Steffy Forrester’s loving husband, Finn is a gifted surgeon, who navigates family dramas, personal revelations, and emotional struggles.

In the current storyline, Finn's silence concerning Hope's unintentional fall on him has left The Bold and the Beautiful fans frustrated. Despite knowing that Hope did not try to seduce him, Finn lets Steffy believe the worst. Fans have taken it to social media and voiced their concerns.

One fan with the username Carolyn LaBossiere, posted on Facebook:

"I always liked Finn but I can no longer stand him now after this situation. Yes maybe he didn't know what Hope was up to. But he definitely knows she did trip and he hasn't even said anything about that so I have no respect for him. And before all of you start it was so obviously that she did trip and if you didn't see that you need to get glasses. Plain and simple."

Additional details about Finn's silence on Hope's actions

On The Bold and the Beautiful, Finn's decision to keep quiet about Hope's unintentional fall has drawn criticism.

When Steffy walked in and saw Hope stumble and fall on Finn, who was wearing only lingerie, she mistakenly believed Hope was trying to seduce her husband. Hope was left to deal with the fallout from Steffy's rage, as Finn chose to remain silent instead of addressing Steffy and clarifying that it was an accident.

Questions concerning Finn's character have been raised by this withholding of the facts. Finn, who is known as the "good doctor," has always been regarded as sincere and kind. However, by remaining silent, he allowed Steffy to think the worst of Hope, which seems inconsistent with his usual character.

Fans are questioning whether this marks the beginning of Finn's darker side. Finn's silence also jeopardizes his relationship with Steffy. If Steffy discovers the truth, it might cause a significant breach between them.

Fans believe this could be the beginning of Finn's transition from the "good guy" to someone with more nuanced, morally ambiguous decisions. With his future now uncertain, fans are eager to see what unfolds next on The Bold and the Beautiful.

A closer look at Finn and Hope's characters on The Bold and the Beautiful

One of the more complex relationships in The Bold and the Beautiful is that of Finn and Hope. Though their paths have crossed in different ways, their interactions with other characters especially Steffy and Liam—have resulted in tense and conflicted times.

Debuted on January 11, 2010, Hope Logan (currently played by Annika Noelle) has always distinguished herself from others through her idealism and family values. But her behavior throughout 2024, especially her intimacy with Liam, has tested the resilience of her relationships, especially with Steffy and Finn.

Finn is yet another important character on the soap opera. Finn met Steffy Forrester after she was injured in a motorcycle accident, and the two quickly fell in love. They later got engaged and had a son, Hayes.

Finn's life became complicated when he learned that Sheila Carter was his biological mother. Finn had a reputation for being a kind person who loved Steffy very much.

According to recent episodes, Hope Logan's position at Forrester Creations is in jeopardy after she accidently ended up on top of Finn while wearing lingerie. Hope was actually intending to surprise Carter. This misunderstanding has caused additional strain both within the family and at the workplace.
