Tanner Novlan says GOODBYE to B&B fans, he’s leaving the show for a new project | Bold and Beautiful

Ever since Steffy made the heartbreaking choice to leave Los Angeles with little Hayes, fans have noticed another glaring absence — Finn.

It’s as if, in following his wife off-screen, the good doctor has quietly disappeared from the Forrester world. At first, viewers thought this was intentional — maybe the writers were giving other storylines space to breathe.

But as the weeks go on, Finn’s silence has grown louder, leaving fans restless and speculation running wild.

Right now, the spotlight has shifted to Ridge, Brooke, Taylor, Liam, Hope, and even shocking blasts from the past like Nick Marone.

But the void left behind by Steffy and Finn is undeniable. Forrester family dynamics feel incomplete without them, and fans are wondering if this absence is temporary… or a sign of something much bigger.

Fueling the uncertainty, Tanner Novlan — Finn’s portrayer — has now confirmed he’s stepping away from the show to pursue another project.

The revelation blindsided viewers who embraced Finn as Steffy’s steady anchor in a world full of betrayals, rivalries, and heartbreak.

Tanner brought warmth and stability to Finn, balancing Steffy’s fiery spirit and cementing their pairing — “Sinn” — as one of B&B’s most beloved couples.

Now the question hangs heavy in the air: will Finn’s exit be written as a quiet reunion with Steffy off-screen? Or will the show take the bold route of recasting the role?

Soap history is full of recasts — some wildly successful, others sparking division — and this decision could reshape the future of both the Forrester family and Steffy’s eventual return.

For the moment, the focus remains on Ridge’s romantic tug-of-war, Liam’s fight for survival, and Brooke’s shocking rescue at sea.

But beneath it all lies the shadow of a missing character too important to forget. Without Finn, Steffy’s comeback will never feel truly whole.

While Tanner hasn’t ruled out returning someday, the uncertainty leaves fans in limbo. Should The Bold and the Beautiful recast Finn to keep his storyline alive?

Or should they hold the door open and wait, hoping Tanner steps back into the role when the time is right?

One thing’s for sure — in Los Angeles, absence doesn’t just make the heart grow fonder… it sets the stage for the next big twist.
