Hope is pregnant but who is the baby’s father? Shocking identity The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers
In a city built on secrets and style, The Bold and the Beautiful has never shied away from seismic twists. But even by Forrester standards, the recent revelation surrounding Hope Logan’s pregnancy has turned the world of haute couture and high-stakes family drama upside down — and then some.
What began as a whispered rumor in the hallowed halls of Forrester Creations has erupted into a full-blown scandal, one entangling nearly every major family in the saga: the Forresters, the Logans, the Spencers — and now, shockingly, a name from the past with a sinister motive.
Let’s rewind.
The Ultrasound That Ignited a Firestorm
It started quietly, almost innocuously. Carter Walton, reeling after being told he was infertile, stepped into the hallway of Forrester Creations only to find Hope Logan standing alone, clutching an ultrasound image to her chest.
The implication was immediate — Hope was pregnant. The sight gutted Carter, but it also triggered a wave of suspicion and speculation that swept through the building like wildfire.
Whispers turned into roars. Who was the father?
Suspect #1: Thomas Forrester — The Obvious Choice
All eyes turned to Thomas Forrester.
The tension between Thomas and Hope had been simmering for months. Creative collaborations had blurred into late-night meetings, filled with chemistry neither dared fully acknowledge. When news of the pregnancy surfaced, Thomas was the first name thrown into the ring.
He denied it — too vehemently, some said. But science didn’t lie. A preliminary genotyping test ruled him out. The DNA markers simply didn’t match.
Thomas was stunned. The audience was stunned. And with Thomas eliminated, the whispers only grew louder.
Suspect #2: Liam Spencer — The Eternal “What If”
Liam, Hope’s on-again-off-again ex and father of her daughter Beth, had recently made overtures to rekindle their relationship. It wasn’t impossible. A one-night lapse in judgment? A moment of weakness?
Liam thought so too. He submitted his own DNA for comparison — quietly, privately.
But again, the results came back negative.
Now the question shifted from “Who is the father?” to “Why is everyone being ruled out?”
Suspect #3: John “Finn” Finnegan — The Unthinkable
Then came the shock no one saw coming: a partial DNA match to none other than Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan, Steffy Forrester’s husband.
The news detonated like a bomb.
Finn, known for his stability and moral compass, was blindsided. Steffy was livid — her fury echoing through the building as she stormed into Finn’s office, demanding answers he couldn’t provide. Finn insisted it was impossible. But the data said otherwise — at least at first.
A second round of testing was ordered. Security was tightened. This time, the chain of custody was rigorously monitored.
And what the audit revealed changed everything.
Sabotage Uncovered: A Tampered Test
During the lab’s audit, a technician discovered a disturbing discrepancy. Hope’s original sample had been removed from cold storage for seven minutes — long enough for it to be tampered with. The seal was compromised.
Security footage showed a hooded figure with a technician’s badge entering the lab during the suspicious window. Their identity obscured.
The pregnancy was no longer just a scandal. It was sabotage.
A Twist in the DNA: A New Genetic Trail
The retest, this time ironclad in its procedures, came back definitive: Finn was not the father.
But the real shock came next.
The DNA revealed a significant partial match — not with any of the current suspects, but with someone connected to the Forrester family by blood… distantly. The results suggested a familial relation to R.J. Forrester, Ridge and Brooke’s youngest son.
The room froze.
R.J., long seen as the family’s golden boy — kind, level-headed, scandal-averse — was caught in the storm.
But he stepped forward with a quiet bombshell of his own: he couldn’t be the father. Diagnosed in his youth with Klinefelter syndrome, R.J. was infertile. Biologically, he was incapable of fathering a child.
So how could the test show a connection?
A Forgotten Fling and a Ghost from the Past
All eyes turned to Brooke Logan.
And that’s when decades of secrets unraveled.
Through tears, Brooke revealed a long-buried secret: before Ridge, before Deacon, there had been another — a European exchange student named Marco Delano. A summer romance, brief and forgotten. She never knew he fathered a child.
That child, it now appears, grew up in obscurity — but never forgot.
And now, Marco Delano has resurfaced, possibly under a new identity, and allegedly inserted himself into Hope’s life in the most horrific way imaginable — through manipulation, possibly even assault, and certainly through deception.
Marco Delano: From Forgotten Flirtation to Sinister Mastermind
Investigations uncovered that a man using multiple aliases, including a recent stint as a lab technician at Dr. Lee Finnegan’s clinic, matched Marco’s description. He had access to genetic material, clinic security systems — and, chillingly, a motive.
Photos from Brooke’s youth confirmed it: Marco Delano had returned.
This wasn’t a random accident. It was a calculated effort to weave himself — or his lineage — into the Logan-Forrester bloodline. A long-simmering plot of revenge, legacy, and control.
Hope’s pregnancy was no longer a private matter. It was the center of a criminal investigation.
Hope Takes Control
For weeks, Hope had been caught in the eye of a storm. Whispers, accusations, DNA tests, and moral outrage — all swirled around her.
But now, she’s reclaiming her power.
Standing before her family, Hope made a vow: “This child is mine. But Marco Delano will never be part of our lives.”
She is demanding justice. And she’s no longer alone. Carter has vowed to protect her. Lee is assisting authorities in a full-scale investigation. Brooke, shaken but resolute, has mobilized the Logan family.
And Steffy — ever the fierce protector — is using Forrester resources to hunt Marco down.
What’s Next for the Forresters?
This isn’t just another scandal. It’s a generational reckoning.
Marco Delano’s plot has exposed fractures within every powerful family in Los Angeles. Secrets buried for decades are clawing their way into the light.
The battle ahead promises court cases, media fallout, and emotional reckoning.
But one thing is certain: Hope Logan is no one’s pawn anymore. And the person who tried to use her child as a weapon has made a fatal miscalculation.
The war for truth, justice — and the soul of the Forrester dynasty — has begun.
Stay tuned.
