Tanner Novlan Reveals Trouble For Finn & Steffy Amid Paternity Reveal?

Recent events on The Bold and the Beautiful have turned Finn’s life upside down. The character recently learned of a shocking twist about his family. Recently, his actor, Tanner Novlan, spoke out about the situation. All the while, he also talked about what this means for his character on the soap.
A Recent Paternity Reveal Has Shocking Implications For Finn
On the soap, Finn was introduced as a doctor who treated Steffy Forrester following a motorcycle incident. The two would eventually fall in love, leading to their son, Hayes Finnegan.
In addition, the character is the son of Jack Finnegan and the villainous Sheila Carter, with Li Finnegan as his adoptive mother. However, recent events on the soap have seen shocking family secrets come to light.

Recently, Finn learned that his antagonistic cousin Luna is also his biological daughter. This came about from a fling with his adoptive aunt, Poppy.
As previously reported, fans had suspected this twist for quite a while. Beforehand, many fans similarly suspected that Luna would turn out to be Finn’s half-sister. Since this twist has come to light, Finn’s own actor, Tanner Novlan, has spoken with Us Weekly to talk about the storyline and what it could mean for the soap.
Novlan noted, “This is definitely messy.” He continued, “What’s so great about Finn is he is an original character, so anytime I get to see the writers go deeper into his past, and navigate where Finn really came from, is always interesting to me.”
“He’s not beholden to any story lines over the years. I get to play an original character in that way. This was a shocking and exciting twist, for sure.”
Tanner Novlan Discussed Whether Finn & Steffy Fans Should Be Worried
Novlan admitted, as an actor, he isn’t given too much warning over planned twists. As he noted, “We get the scripts a couple weeks or a week beforehand. I’m rolling it out with everybody, which is what makes our medium so exciting because I get to sit and turn the pages and be like, ‘What? OK, this is cool,’ and collaborate with the writers and see where they’re taking Finn.”
The actor also noted how the twist could impact things with Finn’s wife, Steffy. He shared, “Steffy and Kelly and Hayes are literally his entire world, and I see why.”

“The dude had a pretty troubled childhood, you know, he didn’t know who his birth mother was and now we find out that he had this night with his aunt — there’s a lot of trauma to unpack, and so it even solidifies more why he wanted to create a perfect family for himself.
Novlan continued, “He is one to try and do better than what his circumstances were. Even though Li is his mother and raised him. Thank God for Li!” In addition, when asked if he thought Li or Steffy would be the one to take the news harder, he admitted it would be “close.”
On whether Steffy and Finn fans should be worried, the actor also noted, “The Sinn fans are absolutely incredible, and I really like Sinn’s relationship. They’re true soulmates. I mean, he took a bullet for her, and she has been there for him through thick and thin.”
“They really have a solid relationship, but there’s all these external issues, like, pushing and pushing. And so you ask yourself the question of, ‘Man, how long do you stay with someone, even though you love them, with all the external stressors around their life and drama?’”
