"Li raised him so she's his mom" - The Bold and the Beautiful fans shut down Sheila's claim on Finn

In the April 17, 2025, episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Li visited Finn and sensed he was troubled, likely because of Luna. She reminded him of Luna’s mistakes and Poppy’s lies, saying Luna didn’t deserve to be in his life after almost killing Steffy. Though upset, Finn agreed.

Meanwhile, Sheila tried to comfort Luna and promised to help her reconnect with Finn. When Sheila brought Luna up to Finn, he rejected the idea of accepting her as his daughter, saying her past couldn’t be ignored. He added that blood and family didn’t matter to him, leaving Sheila stunned.

While addressing the current ongoings in the show, fans took to social media to express their opinions about Finn and Sheila's conversation. While some fans noted that Sheila had no authority to act like Finn's mother and give him advice, many viewers claimed the opposite. A user named Ronnie Crawford posted on Facebook on April 18, 2025, stating that Li is Finn's adoptive mother, while Sheila is his blood mother.

Ronnie stated:

"Shelia is Finn's mother. Li is his step/adopted mom. Li only got the chance to raise him because Finn's dad lied to Shelia and she believed him and gave her son to him. Jack stole Finn and raised him with Li. Shelia is his mother period, not no one else. I don't care who raised him."

One fan, going by the name Lisa Osborne, responded to Ronnie's post, saying that Li should be regarded as Finn's mother since she raised him. Lisa wrote:

"Finn considers Li his mom and Sheila his bio mom and there's nothing wrong with that. Li raised him so she's his mom."

Several fans commented on the post, sharing similar sentiments about Li being Finn's mother. While a netizen insisted that Li is Finn's mother despite where he came from, another fan pointed out that Sheila gave up her parenting rights to Jack.

Many viewers continued the conversation and debated about Finn's equation with his adoptive mother, Li, and his blood mother, Sheila. One viewer commented that Jack did not steal Finn, as Sheila gave her son to him herself. On the other hand, another fan argued that Li is Finn's legal mother as she adopted him officially.
