The Bold and the Beautiful fans predict Finn is NOT really dead after spotting new ‘clue’

THE Bold and the Beautiful fans refuse to believe fan-favorite Finn is truly dead, and now a new theory points to the possibility he is actually alive.

Viewers pointed out a few clues from Thursday’s episode that Tanner Novlan’s character may have survived being shot by his biological mom, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown).

Spoilers for Thursday's episode continue below.

The Bold and the Beautiful fans have bee spiraling since last Friday when Finn was shot by Sheila, while trying to save his wife, Steffy.

Though Steffy went on to be shot, too, she has since been revealed to be alive.

Finn, meanwhile, was said to be dead by various characters, including Deacon, who found him and spoke to EMTs at the scene.

Still, fans formed a new theory after spotting some clues in Thursday's episode that Hayes' dad might not be dead – and the evidence lies with his adoptive mom, Li.

A few scenes with Dr. Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) left fans suspicious that more is going on behind the scenes with Finn than viewers are currently aware of.

For one, fans noted that instead of being an emotional, crying mess over the death of her son, she's only extremely angry.

A second clue pointed out that a lot of that anger is directed at Sheila, despite no one supposedly knowing yet that she was the one who shot both Finn and Steffy.

Another piece of evidence Twitter users spotted was that Li refused to let Sheila see her son – as if possibly she's been hiding him, still alive, away from everyone while she uses her doctor training to help him.

Plus, Li added, angrily, to Sheila: "No, I told you. I'm taking care of my son now. The way I always have."

Fans speculated that this might mean more than just taking care of all the post-death arrangements but also actually possibly the task of keeping Finn alive and hidden.

One hopeful fan tweeted: “Is it me or Li is hiding something. And the anger she immediately put on Sheila as soon as she arrived. 

“And then everything she said about Finn and that she'll take care of him.”

Another theorized: “Li said some things that really has my mind ticking. 

“She'll take care of Finn the way she always has? 

“Is he alive and she's having him transferred to her state or some undiscovered location? That could be a twist.”

A third wrote: “I can’t get my hopes up as this show has burned me too many times. 

“But could Finn truly be alive though? 

“The lack of crying from Li just anger, Li’s refusal to let Sheila see Finn, her lines ‘I’m looking after Finn now,’ ‘I’m taking care of my son now.’”

The horrifying storyline began for fans on Friday, when Steffy watched as her husband Finn was accidentally shot by his biological mother, Sheila.

Steffy had learned that Sheila caused Stef's step-mom, Brooke, to relapse by switching out her non-alcoholic champagne with the real version and told Finn she was going to confront her.

He became increasingly worried about the mother of his child when she wouldn’t respond to his texts and decided to leave work to rush over the Italian restaurant he knew they'd be at.

Finn got there just as Sheila had raised a gun at Steffy out back by Il Giardino's dumpster, and he jumped in front and was shot instead.

Shocked, Steffy ran over to try to wake her unconscious husband and to try to stop all of the blood, screaming as she realized how much there was.

As she worked to dial 9-1-1 for help, Sheila once again pointed the gun at her and forbade her from finishing the call.

During Monday's episode, Sheila still went on to shoot Steffy, leaving both presumably dead, though Steffy was later revealed to be alive while Finn supposedly dead.

Seemingly trying to make it look like a robbery gone bad, Sheila quickly checked Stef’s pulse before stealing all of her jewelry and putting on gloves to try to wipe any prints.

Once home, she threw away her gloves and Steffy’s jewelry in the garbage and went to wash and scrub her bloody hands in the sink.

It wasn’t until the very end of the episode that Finn and Steffy were discovered by Deacon, who was freaked out but quickly called 911 for help.
