‘Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: What If Sheila Is Not Finn’s Mother?

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers question Sheila Carter as John “Finn” Finnegan‘s birth mother without so much as a DNA test to back this up. Sure, Finn’s dad Jack Finnegan (Ted King) claims Sheila is telling the truth. But so far all we’ve seen is a twitching mustache demonstrating that his nerves are on edge when she walks into the room.

Bold and the Beautiful Questions: John Finnegan Needs Evidence

Jack Finnegan piped up to say Sheila is telling the truth. But how does he really know this, ask the Bold and the Beautiful fans? So, why is everyone, including Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), just accepting what Jack and Sheila have to say?

Bold and the Beautiful got the ball rolling on John Finnegan’s bio-mom and they’ve kept up a good speed with this plot. But it looks like they might have put the brakes on this a bit. You would expect that one of the first questions Finn would want an answer to once Sheila emerged is – who is Finn’s biological father?

So far, no one has asked that of Sheila Carter. Not a soul has asked this of Jack Finnegan either. He’s the man who seems to know more than he’s letting on.

So, that fast-paced plot that gave fans Finn’s birth mom now seems to slow down. It seems it’s at a crawl now that it comes time for some evidence. Or at best, offer up just a little backstory on how Jack and Sheila came to know each other.

Everyone seems just fine accepting Sheila Carter as the woman who gave birth to Finn. But not a soul trusts this woman to cross the threshold of their home. This is Bold and the Beautiful so it doesn’t have to make sense. That’s good because many fans suggest it doesn’t. The Forresters usually come off as a bunch of skeptical folks. But now they seem to take the birth mother story as the truth.

B&B Spoilers: What About Jack Finnegan and Sheila Carter’s Backstory?

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers offer nothing about the origin of Jack Finnegan and his relationship with Sheila Carter that resulted in Finn’s adoption. Not a clue popped up yet to suggest their relationship was one of pleasure, business, or a little bit of both.

The canvas is a complete blank on this. Were they lovers resulting in the birth of John Finnegan? Maybe Jack met Sheila during one of her many times she was down and out. Then possibly at that time, she was already pregnant.

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers indicated that once Li Finnegan’s (Naomi Matsuda) life was so busy with her career that she didn’t think about having kids. As a top-notch surgeon, her work was first. But then the baby bug bit her and they adopted Finn. It’s well-known that adoption can take years, so maybe Jack found a shortcut via Sheila.

Jack did say he knew a little bit about Sheila Carter at first. But it wasn’t until Finn was growing up that he learned how dangerous this woman really is. Then at the wedding reception, he claimed he was stunned, as he had no idea she was capable of the shootings the Forresters described for their new in-laws.

Another theory emerges. This one comes with a slight deviation from Jack’s fast-track adoption with a wayward Sheila Carter. Maybe she became a surrogate mother via artificial insemination with Jack supplying the father’s donation. This too would fall under what Jack said so far. He knew a little bit about her but had no idea how evil she was until it was too late.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: We Know Jack Is Not a Doctor

Some B&B fans suggested that maybe Jack is a doctor and the adoption came through a patient he treated. But when Finn gave a beautiful tribute to his parents, he said he became a doctor following in his mother’s footsteps.

It is safe to say that Finn and his dad are close, going by everything Bold and the Beautiful fans have witnessed so far. So, if he was a doctor, then Finn would have credited both his parents as physicians. He only gave thanks to his mother for her influence on his decision to become a doctor.

But maybe Jack’s career caused him to cause paths with Sheila Carter. Twitching mustache may belong to a top-notch detective. Or perhaps even a lawyer. He could have run into Sheila during one of the many times she didn’t abide by the laws of the land.

It’s possible she was pregnant and facing the fate of long incarceration at the time. She may have offered her baby up for adoption just as Jack became aware of her case.

Jack did say he didn’t tell Finn about her because all he could do was show him a mugshot of his mother. Jack claimed he kept his knowledge of Sheila Carter quiet to protect his family.

Maybe once he realized she was very dangerous he decided to go with the unknown parents’ story that John Finnegan and Li believed. Well, at least up until the day of Finn’s wedding.

B&B Spoilers: The Who, What, Where, And When Of Things

Bold and the Beautiful let enough time go by now without fans knowing exactly how Jack and Sheila are so positive that Sheila is the biological mother of Finn. Steffy has kept quiet long enough without asking for a DNA test. If Jack believes Sheila is Finn’s mother due to a previous DNA test that Sheila had done, it might have been a lie.

So, it looks like it’s time for B&B to cement Sheila Carter as the birth mother to John Finnegan by having a DNA test done under the watchful eyes of all involved, especially Finn and his new bride.

Steffy now navigates her new Bold and Beautiful life with Finn. But her worries about any genes Hayes Forrester-Finnegan may have inherited from Sheila Carter have to weigh heavy on her. As Eric Forrester (John McCook) told Sheila when she first showed up at the reception, she’s sick.

So with everything Steffy Forrester knows about this woman, she wants her son safe from any of those genes that caused such a sickness. But if Hayes Forrester-Spencer truly has the blood of Sheila Carter running through his veins, then it’s a crapshoot. Steffy and Finn will just have to watch and see.

So why wouldn’t Steffy demand a fully guarded DNA test take place? It seems Bold and the Beautiful carried this on long enough without some evidence. It’s also time for a back story that explains Sheila Carter’s relationship with Jack Finnegan on this CBS soap.
