Is Li Finnegan Really Dead on ‘Bold and the Beautiful’?

In a Bold and the Beautiful spoilers shocker, Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) crashed her car complete with an explosion, flames, and a dive into the ocean off a cliff. So, she hit the trifecta when it comes to ways to die on this CBS soap. But the question today for B&B viewers is — did Li really die?

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Shocker: It Looks Like Li Finnegan Meets Her Maker

Li Finnegan looks as though she doesn’t stand a chance at survival. If the collision or explosion of flames didn’t do her in then the Pacific Ocean submersion should do it. But this is a soap opera so death’s not always certain no matter how dire it seems on B&B.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda)

Bold and the Beautiful spoilers tease that no dead body is found. But her car could be swept away in the depths of the ocean. So, she could just disappear without a trace. This would suit Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) just fine.

The flames illuminated Sheila’s sinister smile as she watched Li Finnegan’s car disappear into the surf. The scene disturbed many B&B fans. It seemed apparent Li was in danger. But this was one surprise outcome that came fast and furious on the soap.

B&B Spoilers: Was the Doctor a Good Swimmer?

One thing this Bold and the Beautiful scene did today was confirm Sheila is one sick woman. She decided it was time for Li Finnegan to die. But Finn’s (Tanner Novlan) bio-mother trying to choke her to death didn’t pan out.

So, the she-villain got the next best thing via a car chase. B&B spoilers suggest she won’t be around for a while, whether she is dead or not. Soon, Sheila gets help caring for John Finnegan. That help comes from a long-time partner in crime, per the spoilers.

Well, Bold and the Beautiful viewers got a look at him again this week. As his criminal pal peeled out after Li, there stood that partner. He would be the prison guard, Mike Guthrie (Ken Hanes).

Mike looked a bit peeved as he watched Sheila in hot pursuit. Chances are he’s now her right-hand man after helping her escape. So, now with Li gone, although maybe not dead — the woman who shot him nearly dead is in charge of Finn.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Li Swims to Shore?

Li may have survived this ordeal on B&B this week. But even so, she likely won’t show up again for a while. Although it’s hard to believe if she does survive she’d leave Finn at the mercy of his birth mother.

So, Li might wind up as an unresponsive Jane Doe in a hospital. Given the evident trauma of the crash, if she survives, she’d not come out of it unscathed.

Either way, Sheila now has free rein over the son she almost killed. So, this opens up all kinds of possibilities for both Li Finnegan and her rival. Bold and the Beautiful spoilers hint his biological mother plays a part in reuniting Finn with his wife.

Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) - Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown)

Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is in Europe grieving for the husband she lost. But Finn somehow makes it over there as interviews with the soap stars confirm they are filming episodes in Monte Carlo. And Finn is there with Steffy in the few shots to surface.

B&B Spoilers: Unresponsive Jane Doe?

So, Li Finnegan could have bit the dust but it’s more likely she’ll surface at an opportune time in the future. The prison escapee could somehow get all the credit for saving Finn from death.

So, Bold and the Beautiful might let her head swell for a while. But the drama comes in when Li Finnegan likely emerges to say it just isn’t so. If she’s in a coma with no name attached to her, then this might be the time the CBS soap could wake her up.

After Steffy and Finn reunite, keep an eye out for that fake death certificate that Li Finnegan signed. She claimed her son was dead and she also had forged cremation papers as well.

Li’s signature on that fake death certificate likely starts Finn on a hunt for Li Finnegan. That, along with the truth about Sheila Carter being his savior.

Deacon Sharpe seaweed - Bold and the Beautiful

Remember, Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer) shoved Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) off a cliff a few years ago. He sure seemed dead after a drop of over a hundred feet.

But a week later, he came pounding on Quinn’s door, mad as heck, still draped in seaweed… Will Li Finnegan pull off a similar move and survive the crash? Then, maybe she’ll come knocking at Sheila’s door one day…

Don’t be too certain she’s gone… Everyone thought her son was a goner too after that gunshot!
