How mundane moments and a fresh start make Finn and Steffy’s relationship one to remember.
On The Bold and the Beautiful, most couples face obstacles that threaten their bond—secrets, betrayals, or unresolved pasts. But Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) are an anomaly. Despite the drama swirling around them, their relationship remains remarkably solid. Their story stands out in a genre known for fleeting love, and Novlan recently opened up about the dynamics behind their strong connection.
A Fresh Perspective on Love
Unlike many soap opera characters with decades of baggage, Finn is a relatively new addition to the show with no long-established history to weigh him down. This has given him and Steffy the opportunity to build their relationship from the ground up, free from the complex backstory that often hinders other soap couples. As a result, their connection is refreshing, functional, and surprisingly relatable.
Novlan shared his appreciation for the simplicity of their union, calling it a “functioning marriage.” He enjoys how Steffy and Finn always lean on each other, providing the kind of support that strengthens their bond despite external pressures. He explained, “They’re so strong together, and I always love how they support each other… but their values are always tested, and there’s a lot of drama that can come from that.”
Behind Closed Doors: Mundane Meets Drama
One of the standout features of Finn and Steffy’s relationship is how the show highlights their everyday lives. While Steffy is a powerful CEO and Finn a respected doctor, they come home to the same challenges any couple with kids faces. Novlan finds these moments relatable and refreshing. “It’s fun to see this powerful CEO and doctor come home, and at the end of the day, their kids don’t care about any of that,” he laughed.
The couple’s home life has become a grounding force in their relationship, allowing fans to see them not just as super-couple icons but as parents juggling the messiness of everyday life. Novlan enjoys the “mundane” moments where Steffy and Finn work together to maintain their household, often finding unexpected drama in these interactions. “There’s interesting drama in these mundane scenes,” he said, noting how these moments make their bond feel even more authentic.
A Blank Canvas: Finn’s Secrets and Potential Drama
Finn’s lack of a past also leaves room for plenty of surprises. Novlan teased the possibility of undiscovered secrets lurking beneath the surface of his character. “You never know… That’s one of the coolest things about playing Finn. There’s no past that we know about, so we can be very creative,” he said.
With no long-established continuity to constrain him, Finn’s storyline could evolve in any number of ways, keeping fans on their toes. Could Finn have a hidden side that might unravel his perfect life with Steffy? Or will he remain the supportive, loving husband we’ve come to know? The writers’ creativity is key, and Novlan is excited to see what twists they might bring next.
The Future of Steffy and Finn
As Finn and Steffy navigate their “functional” romance, their connection remains one of the most heartwarming and real relationships on The Bold and the Beautiful. But in a world full of twists and drama, how long will their happy home life last? Will Finn’s past catch up with him, or will his bond with Steffy continue to defy the odds?
One thing’s for sure: Steffy and Finn’s relationship may just be the calm before the storm, and the best is yet to come. Stay tuned for more of their journey—and the unexpected secrets that could shake their world.
