Drama is heating up on The Bold and the Beautiful as business takeovers, personal enmities, and romance undergo multiple tests in the upcoming storyline. While Carter Walton and Hope Logan's romance is fairly new, Steffy Forrester's marriage to John Finn Finnegan is long-standing and strong. However, both pairs may face challenges that will test their romantic commitments.
Since its premiere in March 1987, The Bold and the Beautiful has presented story arcs testing romances. The tests mostly involved romantic alliances involving the central figures of Ridge, Brooke, and Taylor. Their love triangle also plays an important part in the soap's storyline, in addition to the Forresters' family fashion business, Forrester Creations.
Besides Carter-Hope and Steffy-Finn, Will and Electra are also another romantic couple who have yet to pass the integrity test. Moreover, the relationship equation between Bill Spencer Jr. and Luna Nozawa is still unclear and may reveal more drama in The Bold and the Beautiful.

The Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy and Finn's love may be tested
According to a TV Insider interview (published on January 2, 2025) with Bradley Bell, Executive Producer and Head Writer of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester and Finn Finnegan's relationship will face a hurdle.
While Bell has not yet revealed the actual story arc, he accepts that the couple's love has so far passed all challenges. However, the upcoming situation may be more serious than the previous ones.
While speculations about their trail seem to point to more than one direction, Bell hinted that the couple may have trouble weathering this storm. One lead points at Luna Nozawa, who was recently put under house arrest at Bill Spencer's home.
While no one knows about this arrangement as of now, when the news is revealed, Finn may want to have a say in the matter involving his cousin. If Steffy takes objection to Finn's involvement with her kidnapper's activities, it may put a strain on their relationship.

The Bold and the Beautiful: What other instances may challenge the couple?
Another lead hints at Steffy's role in planting Daphne Rose as the fragrance expert in Forrester Creations. Spoiler for Tuesday's episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, dated January 7, 2025, will find Daphne bidding her line just as Fanny Greyson does. While Daphne may pretend to be working with Carter and Brooke, she will be working in collusion with Steffy secretly.
While Steffy has already informed Ridge and Eric that she will be playing her cards close to her chest, Finn could take objection to her underhand methods. The doctor has always maintained an honest and straight approach and may not like his wife's strategy. This may cause a difference of opinion among them.
On the other hand, Finn could be unhappy with his wife's actions even if she tries to possibly drive a wedge between Hope Logan and Carter Walton's romance by asking Daphne to seduce Carter away from the love of his life. While Finn's objection could be about the immorality of the act, Steffy may misunderstand his view creating friction between the couple.
Finn and Steffy's marriage could also face a challenge from Finn's biological mother Sheila Carter. While it is well-known that Sheila has hurt Steffy in various ways in the past and the two have no love lost between them, Finn has forgiven his mother and even attended her wedding with Deacon Sharpe.
As Bell hinted at Deacon and Sheila getting a new story arc, Finn's involvement with his mother will likely irk Steffy.
While fans hope Finn and Steffy will face the test with fervor, whether it rocks Steffy and Finn's stable marriage remains to be seen. Stay tuned to CBS every weekday to catch the latest on The Bold and the Beautiful as Steffy and Finn's love is tested once again on the soap.
