The Bold and the Beautiful: Finn Uncovers Poppy and Luna’s Sinister Plot — and the Secret That Could Shatter the Spencer Dynasty Forever
The storm clouds are gathering over Los Angeles, and this time, the thunder isn’t coming from Bill Spencer’s boardroom — it’s coming from within his own circle. The Bold and the Beautiful takes a jaw-dropping turn as Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan stumbles upon a secret so dark it could dismantle both the Spencer empire and the fragile alliances holding the Forresters together. What begins as a pregnancy scandal spirals into a labyrinth of deceit, bribery, and betrayal — with Poppy Nozawa and her daughter Luna at the center of it all.
For weeks, whispers about Luna’s pregnancy have dominated every corner of Spencer Publications. The revelation that Will Spencer could be the father ignited a media firestorm and fractured the family’s foundation. To some, Luna is a victim of circumstance — a young woman caught in a web of power and legacy. To others, she’s a calculating opportunist, using her unborn child as leverage to stake her claim to the Spencer fortune. But as Finn soon discovers, the truth is far more sinister.
Behind Luna stands her mother, Poppy — once charming and mysterious, now emerging as one of the most manipulative women in Los Angeles. She has always wanted security, always longed for a permanent place among the elite. And now, with her daughter’s pregnancy, she sees her opening. Rumors swirl that Luna and Poppy have crafted a plan — not born from love, but ambition. Their goal? To ensure the DNA test names Will Spencer as the father… no matter what it takes.
The night Finn uncovers the truth begins innocently enough. He’s at Spencer Tower for a late-night meeting with Bill, meant to discuss Luna’s medical condition. But fate intervenes when Finn takes a wrong turn and stops outside a closed executive lounge. Inside, voices drift through the heavy wooden door — and what he hears chills him to the core.
“We’re almost there,” Poppy says sharply, her tone stripped of its usual sweetness. “Once the results come in and they show Will is the father, everything changes. Bill will protect us. Luna will have the Spencer name. And we’ll never have to worry again.”
Finn freezes, his breath catching as Luna’s voice trembles in response. “Are you sure Bridget’s on our side?”
Poppy exhales, calm and confident. “I paid her enough to be.”
The words hit Finn like a punch to the gut. Bridget Forrester — his colleague, a respected doctor — bribed? Manipulating a paternity test for personal gain? He listens, disbelieving, as Poppy continues. “Bridget owed me. I helped her once, years ago. She’ll do what we agreed — adjust the results to name Will as the father. Once that’s confirmed, Bill will have no choice but to protect his legacy — and us.”
In that moment, Finn’s world tilts on its axis. The ethical lines have been obliterated. His cousin Will, manipulated. His medical profession weaponized. His family’s future twisted into a chess game of deceit. He backs away silently, his pulse pounding, realizing he’s holding a secret that could devastate everyone involved.
The next day, Finn confronts his fears head-on. He visits Bridget at the hospital under the pretense of discussing a routine medical file. But his true motive is far deeper. Her answers are too polished, her hands slightly trembling. When Finn asks about chain of custody for Luna’s test samples, Bridget hesitates — just long enough to confirm his worst suspicions.
That night, Finn reviews the paperwork and spots inconsistencies no one else would notice: a gap in the time logs between when the samples were received and when results were finalized, an unfamiliar technician’s signature, and access credentials that don’t match hospital records. For any ordinary person, they might seem like clerical errors. But for a doctor like Finn — trained to read between the lines — these are red flags waving in the wind.
Determined to uncover the truth, Finn retrieves a secondary sample — one Bridget should have stored according to protocol. It’s untouched. He sends it to an independent lab, quietly, discreetly. And when the results come back two days later, the bombshell drops: Will Spencer is not the father.
Finn stares at the screen, disbelief turning into fury. Everything — the scandal, the heartbreak, the media circus — built on lies. Bridget’s silence bought, Luna’s innocence compromised, Poppy’s ambition masquerading as maternal love. And now, the truth sits in Finn’s hands like a ticking bomb.
He knows that exposing this will obliterate lives. Bridget’s career could be destroyed. Poppy and Luna would be branded as pariahs. The Spencers, already divided, could implode completely. But how can he stay silent when an entire family — and an innocent man — have been deceived?
Meanwhile, the drama outside the hospital walls is reaching a fever pitch. Bill Spencer, ever the strategist, is demanding answers. Will’s silence has been replaced by quiet rage, while Electra Forrester — Will’s scorned fiancée — is preparing to strike back publicly. Her legal team is already drafting statements, painting Luna as a manipulator and Poppy as the mastermind of a calculated trap.
In the midst of this chaos, Poppy is calm — too calm. She’s seen storms like this before and always survived them. But when Finn appears at her door, his expression grave, even she feels the chill of exposure.
“I know what you did,” Finn says softly. “And when the truth comes out, no amount of money or charm will save you.”
For the first time, Poppy falters. Luna, standing beside her mother, begins to shake. Tears fill her eyes, but Finn can’t tell if they’re from guilt or fear.
The fallout promises to be catastrophic. If Finn reveals the truth, the Spencer legacy will be rewritten, Bridget’s medical reputation will be obliterated, and Luna’s already fragile world will collapse completely. But if he stays silent, the lie festers — a poison that could destroy them all from the inside.
As Finn walks away, the city skyline glows behind him, a reminder that in Los Angeles, secrets never stay buried. Somewhere in the shadows, Bill Spencer is preparing for war. Poppy is scrambling to control the damage. Luna clings to what’s left of her carefully constructed fantasy. And Bridget — haunted by her choices — must decide if loyalty is worth the price of her soul.
Because in The Bold and the Beautiful, the truth is never just the truth. It’s power. It’s destruction. And when Finn finally decides to expose everything, no one — not the Forresters, not the Spencers, not the Nozawas — will walk away unscathed.
Genesis Plans a New Off-Roader, a Full-Size SUV, and Some Hybrids
Genesis has already released enough concept cars to fill out an entirely new lineup. Today the company clarified its future-product plans in more detail, indicating that many of these enticing concepts will become a reality. Hyundai CEO José Muñoz also said that Genesis will start selling hybrid models in 2026 and extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) in the near future.
Off-Roader and Full-Size SUV
Two new SUVs will join the lineup, with one being an off-road-oriented model previewed by the X Gran Equator concept (pictured at top) and the other being a three-row, full-size SUV similar to the Neolun concept
Genesis Neolun Concept.
We’re not sure what platform these new models will use; we’ve previously speculated that the full-size SUV, possibly called GV90, could use the same E-GMP EV platform as the Kia EV9 and the Hyundai Ioniq 9. However, it may make more sense for Genesis to base these new models on the new platform it says is coming in 2028. The company says that this new platform will support battery-electric, hybrid, and extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrains.
While Hyundai offers a majority of its core products with hybrid powertrains, Genesis has never sold a hybrid model in the U.S. That will change in 2026 as the luxury brand begins launching hybrid variants. We don’t yet know which models will adopt hybrid powertrains, but the GV80 mid-size SUV and GV70 compact SUV models are safe bets.
Genesis also says it will develop extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) in the near future; these plug-in hybrid models will supposedly offer more than 600 miles of total range when combining a battery pack and a gasoline engine that will serve as a generator.
Genesis X Gran Convertible concept.
Genesis plans to offer a “halo” model at some point in the near future. This could take a variety of forms, such as a convertible similar to the X Gran Coupe concept and/or a new grand touring performance vehicle that would be part of the brand’s Magma subbrand. The Magma performance subbrand will continue to expand as Genesis builds out its racing program. In terms of production vehicles, the GV60 Magma is launching first, later this year, and further Magma variants are likely later on
