The Bold and the Beautiful is turning up the drama once again with a jaw-dropping twist that no one saw coming. In a moment that left jaws on the floor, Daphne returned to Los Angeles—visibly pregnant—and her sudden reappearance has already set off a chain reaction of shock, suspicion, and raw emotion across the Forrester and Spencer families.
Viewers were left speechless as Steffy opened the door of the cliff house only to find Daphne—calm, poised, and very clearly pregnant—standing in front of her. “Steffy,” she said softly, “We need to talk.” The camera panned from Steffy’s stunned face to Daphne’s rounded baby bump, and in that moment, the entire landscape of B&B shifted.
The implications are enormous. Last viewers saw of Daphne, she had left L.A. under tense and complicated circumstances. Her departure had been swift and mysterious, following a whirlwind romance, lingering rivalries, and unresolved tension with more than one man in town. Now, months later, she’s back—and she’s not alone.
The first question on everyone’s mind: Who is the father?
While Daphne has yet to confirm anything, fans are already speculating furiously. The top contenders? Finn, Liam, and even Thomas. All three men had interactions with Daphne before she left, though most were brief, cryptic, or seemingly platonic—on the surface. But longtime B&B fans know nothing is ever as it seems.
Steffy, for one, didn’t take the surprise well. Sources from the set report that in the upcoming episodes, she confronts Daphne with fury and disbelief. “You disappear for months, and then show up like this?” Steffy exclaims. “And you expect me to just smile and welcome you back?”
But Daphne, ever composed and direct, fires back. “I’m not here for your approval. I’m here for my child.”
And just like that, the gloves are off.
Insiders reveal that Steffy isn’t the only one caught off guard. Ridge and Taylor are reportedly stunned by Daphne’s revelation, especially given her close ties to the Forrester family during her initial time in L.A. Meanwhile, Brooke suspects there’s more to Daphne’s return than meets the eye. “She’s hiding something,” Brooke tells Hope. “This isn’t just about a baby—it’s about leverage.”
Adding another layer of intrigue is Liam, who is visibly shaken when he learns about the pregnancy. “Are you saying it could be mine?” he asks Daphne in a preview clip. Daphne doesn’t answer immediately—only stares at him in silence. That silence alone may be the spark that ignites a firestorm across multiple relationships.
Hope, understandably, is furious at the suggestion. “First Steffy, now Daphne? Liam, when are you going to stop dragging chaos into our lives?” she demands. And Liam, caught between regret and confusion, may soon find himself on the outs with everyone once again.
Meanwhile, Finn has a quiet but intense reaction to the news. Though he doesn’t immediately confront Daphne, he confides in Taylor about a late-night conversation he had with Daphne just before she left town. “She was emotional, scared… and I didn’t ask questions,” he admits. Now, he’s questioning everything—his past decisions, his commitment to Steffy, and what this baby could mean for their future.
Thomas, while not publicly panicking, is also drawn back into Daphne’s orbit. The two shared a mysterious chemistry during her earlier time in L.A., and there were rumors that they’d connected off-screen during a fashion event in Paris. Could the child be his? Could he be the one Daphne’s really returned for?
