The Bold and the Beautiful Friday, July 19 Spoilers: Liam & Finn’s Showdown – Hope’s Flirty Encounter

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers for Friday, July 19, reveal that more tension will erupt between Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). Steffy is never shy about speaking her mind when she’s around Hope or anyone else for that matter, so she’ll spell out some firm boundaries and warn Hope not to cross the line.

Since John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) is finally saying all the right things regarding Sheila Sharpe (Kimberlin Brown), Steffy won’t want Hope influencing Finn’s opinion of his birth mother and opening the door to more trouble.

Hope has cut Sheila too much slack as far as Steffy’s concerned, so she’ll push Hope to stay in her lane and butt out of anything that affects Finn.

Furthermore, Steffy will want to get a few things straight when it comes to Hope for the Future.

Although Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) gave Hope more time to improve her numbers, Steffy may still have a pessimistic view of Hope’s fashion line and whether it can actually survive.

Steffy will get Hope all riled up in Friday’s episode, so that could leave Hope wishing she could steal Finn away from her and have her own happily ever after.

B&B’s weekly preview video shows Hope flirting with Finn and admitting she’s attracted to him, but this could be another daydream on Hope’s part.

Regardless, it looks like Finn will get a shock when he finds Hope alone amongst some dresses from her line, so he might walk in on her changing and create some awkwardness.

That could pave the way for Hope to make a move or at least have another sizzling fantasy!

Either way, Hope’s crush will grow even stronger, so she’ll no doubt feel like she’d be a better match for Finn romantically than Steffy is.

At some point, Finn will face off with Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), who’ll want to discuss the Sheila situation and what Finn’s doing to keep his family safe.

Deputy Chief Bradley Baker (Dan Martin) took Sheila in for questioning, but she hasn’t been charged with anything yet.

Liam might worry that if Sheila doesn’t get arrested, she could commit more crimes and bring danger for Steffy as well as the kids.

Since Finn has shown compassion for Sheila in the past, Liam might also fear Finn will ultimately give his birth mom support.

However, Finn will make it clear that he’ll do whatever it takes to protect Steffy, Kelly Spencer (Sophia Paras McKinlay) and Hayes Forrester Finnegan (Alexander and Chase Banks).

Although Finn understands that Liam is Kelly’s father and will always be connected to Steffy, he’ll also push Liam to back off.

Finn is Steffy’s husband now, so he’ll remind Liam of that and stand his ground on being the main protector in her life.

Our predictions hint that Liam could become a bigger problem for Finn down the road, so we’ll bring you updates on all the escalating conflict.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say Finn and Steffy’s marriage will come with some unexpected complications, so stay tuned to see if that’ll mean bad news or their future together.
