“YOU’RE PREGNANT?!” – Steffy Is SHOCKED as Daphne Returns to LA With a Baby Bump!

The drama is heating up fast on The Bold and the Beautiful as a familiar face returns to Los Angeles—and she’s not alone. This week, Daphne walks back into town in true soap opera fashion: without warning, without explanation… and very visibly pregnant.

And when Steffy Forrester lays eyes on her unexpected visitor, her jaw drops.

“You’re pregnant?!” she gasps, stunned—and with good reason. Daphne’s return isn’t just surprising. It’s suspicious, strategic, and potentially devastating.

💥 WHO IS DAPHNE?

For those who may not remember, Daphne is the beautiful, secretive ex of Thomas Forrester—a woman who vanished from his life years ago under murky circumstances. Their romance was intense but short-lived, and Thomas never got a clear answer about why she left.

Her name has only surfaced briefly in past conversations, always cloaked in mystery… until now.

And her reappearance—with a baby bump that’s impossible to ignore—sends shockwaves through the Forrester family, especially as it raises urgent questions:

• Is the baby Thomas’s?
• What is Daphne’s real motive for returning now?
• Why has she stayed silent for so long?

😱 STEFFY’S SHOCK & SUSPICION

In a dramatic showdown at Forrester Creations, Daphne appears just as Steffy is wrapping a meeting. Seeing her rival walk in—with a hand protectively placed over her belly—is more than Steffy can take.

“You disappear for years and now show up pregnant? Whose baby is that?” Steffy demands.

Daphne remains cryptic, giving just enough information to keep Steffy—and viewers—on edge.

“I didn’t come here to cause trouble,” Daphne says softly. “I came to give someone the truth. Finally.”

But the look in her eyes suggests more than just closure is on her agenda.

🧬 IS THOMAS THE FATHER?

Speculation is already running wild that Thomas Forrester may be the father of Daphne’s unborn child. Timeline-wise, it’s possible she left LA newly pregnant and kept it a secret out of fear, anger, or emotional turmoil. But now, as Thomas is finally finding stability with Hope Logan, Daphne’s return—and possible baby bombshell—could unravel everything.

Upcoming spoilers suggest:

• Thomas is blindsided when he sees Daphne again
• Hope begins to question everything about her future with Thomas
• A paternity test may be demanded—but Daphne might resist
• Ridge and Steffy urge Thomas to get ahead of the story before it blows up

If Thomas is indeed the father, it could completely upend his life, his relationship with Hope, and his hard-earned redemption arc.

💬 FAN THEORIES & REACTIONS

Fans online are already buzzing:

“There’s no way Daphne’s baby isn’t Thomas’s. This is classic B&B chaos and I love it.”
“What if it’s not Thomas’s at all—and Daphne’s just here to stir the pot?”
“I hope Hope doesn’t walk away again. But this might be the breaking point.”
“Steffy’s reaction was priceless. She’s not playing games!”

Some fans even speculate that Daphne might have ties to Sheila Carter, suggesting a larger, more dangerous plan is unfolding behind the scenes.

🧨 RIPPLE EFFECTS ON THE FORRESTER FAMILY

Whether or not the baby belongs to Thomas, Daphne’s return is guaranteed to cause emotional fallout:

• Hope Logan begins to spiral, questioning whether she can compete with a shared child.
• Steffy becomes increasingly protective of her brother, digging into Daphne’s past.
• Brooke urges Hope to walk away—again—calling this “classic Forrester drama.”
• Ridge and Eric clash over how to handle the scandal, especially with media inquiries looming.
• Zende and RJ are caught in the middle as tensions in the office escalate.

👀 WHAT IS DAPHNE HIDING?

Despite her calm demeanor, Daphne clearly has secrets. Her timing is too perfect, her answers are too vague, and her emotions seem rehearsed. Could she be manipulating the Forresters for personal gain? Is there someone else pulling the strings?

Spoilers tease that Daphne is carrying a second secret, one that may not come to light until a dramatic confrontation later this summer.

🔥 NEXT WEEK ON B&B…

The fallout continues with scenes you won’t want to miss:

• Thomas and Daphne come face-to-face—sparks fly, but not the good kind
• Hope overhears part of their conversation and jumps to the worst possible conclusion
• A heated argument between Steffy and Daphne turns physical
• A mysterious phone call hints that Daphne is not acting alone
• A doctor’s visit confirms something that could change everything about the pregnancy…

💔 CONCLUSION: THE RETURN THAT COULD DESTROY EVERYTHING

Whether she’s back for revenge, redemption, or something else entirely, Daphne’s return—and her pregnancy—will send shockwaves through Los Angeles. Thomas’s future, Hope’s happiness, and the Forrester family’s reputation all hang in the balance.

And for Steffy, seeing Daphne again is more than just a shock—it’s a warning: nothing in their world stays buried forever.
