Who plays finn on the bold and the beautiful

The Bold and The Beautiful never falls short when providing twists and turns. Although fans were sure that a major twist would happen, nothing prepared them for the shocking revelation that Dr. John Finnegan would be the casualty of Sheila Carter’s schemes.

Actor Tanner Novlan spoke about the events saying it was unexpected but has since moved on. So, what has Novlan been up to since leaving The Bold and The Beautiful? Find out.

Novlan joined the cast of The Bold and The Beautiful in 2020, playing Dr. John Finnegan, aka Finn. At the time, fans were wary of his character’s intentions and thought he was up to something malicious. They, however, gave him the benefit of the doubt, and as it turns out, he had a crush on Steffy Forrester.

The two started going out, and fans ate it up since Finn had proven he was in it for the long haul. Steffy has for the longest time been embroiled in a love triangle with her on-again-off-again partner Liam Spencer who keeps bouncing back and forth between her and her step-sister Hope Logan.

Fans loved Finn because he showed his commitment toward Steffy, and when they got married, it looked like Steffy had finally gotten her happily ever after. However, that wasn’t meant to be as Finn’s estranged mother, Sheila, came into the scene and ended up killing Finn in her efforts to insert herself into his life.

According to The List, Novlan didn’t see his firing coming. He has nonetheless remained pragmatic about the situation. He said in an interview that the show’s executive producer called him and explained where his character was headed. Novlan said he understood that “anything can happen at any time” in a soap opera.

It hasn’t been long, and Novlan’s talents are already engaged somewhere else. The actor is set to appear in a comedy-drama called Puckheads, which details the shift in power dynamics of a professional hockey player who has to turn in his hockey stick to become an assistant coach after a knee injury. Novlan is set to star as Mike Murphy.

Tanner Novlan’s personal life is thriving

Novlan got engaged in May 2015 to B&B alum Kayla Ewell. Novlan and Ewell tied the knot a few months later, on September 12, 2015, and in May 2019, they announced they were expecting their first child.

The couple welcomed their first child, Poppy Marie, on July 16, 2019. Novlan recently told PEOPLE that he and Ewell had a second baby on the way, a son. The actor revealed that they expect to welcome their son in August 2022.

Novlan’s role on Puckheads may mirror his real life, as he’s stated in interviews that he plays hockey once or twice a week with a group called Bad Boys Skate. The group is composed of hockey enthusiasts who play for fun.

What is Tanner Novlan up to?

Novlan started acting in 2009 when he appeared in the horror film Maneater. He made his TV debut in season 6 of the Fox series Bones. He has also had guest roles in Parenthood, Modern Family, and Letterkenny. Novlan made a name for himself after appearing in a Liberty Mutual commercial playing the Struggling Actor.

The appearance helped him land more roles, including a recurring role in The CW’S Roswell, New Mexico. Novlan has also done print campaigns for huge brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Guess. There’s not much information about Novlan’s career pursuits as of yet aside from his confirmed involvement in Puckheads.

It’s the end of Finn.

On the April 1 episode of Bold and Beautiful, viewers were treated to quite a terrifying surprise and no, it was not an April Fool’s prank. In fact, as time went on, and the paramedics were finally on the scene, pulling up that white sheet over his head, we realized this indeed was the last we’d see of Tanner Novlan on B&B. The last we’d see of Finn.

It looks like super doctor John “Finn” Finnegan hit a medical emergency even he wasn’t able to fix.

Realizing his wife Steffy was in mortal danger and his unstable mother was on the loose, he rushed to help her only to wind up stopping a bullet amid the garbage bags of Il Giardino.

An enraged Sheila was preparing to shoot Steffy to keep her silent about how she knocked Brooke off the wagon, but, with surgical precision, Finn arrived just in time to catch the bullet meant for his wife.

As Finn apparently died, Sheila was preparing to finish Steffy off next.

Native Saskatchewan actor and model Tanner Novlan joined the cast of Bold and Beautiful back in 2020.

His character quickly wound up in whirlwind a romance with Steffy the potent fashion designer and Forrester Creations heiress when she was his patient.

Since then, the couple have faced their share of problems, but probably none of them have been as big as his own birth mother, Sheila. The couple have one child, Hayes.

Before joining the cast of B&B, Novlan had roles on Roswell, New Mexico, Modern Family, and Mohawk Girls. He recently shot a pilot for the series Puckheads.

So far, the actor has made an official statement in Soap Opera Digest about his status with the soap. He’s officially out. He told SOD that he appreciated how embraced he was by the soap community in the short time he appeared as Finn. He called it an honor to be so well received by fans and critics.

He also mentioned how surprised everyone was by the twist of his death. Especially Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy). “She was super surprised because we have so many great Sinn fans. She was speechless and I said, ‘Well, I think that’s the point of it. But everyone was very supportive. They are a great family and we’ll remain friends.”

What’s in store for Steffy now that they killed off her husband? Brad Bell admitted that though Liam and $Bill will be at her side while she recuperates, she’ll get through this in time and eventually, a romance will be in her future. Something quite unexpected.

Update May 24: While Brad Bell said that “eventually, a romance will be in her future,” for Steffy and he called it “something quite unexpected,” it wasn’t exactly what viewers were thinking. In Monday May 23rd episode of B&B, it was revealed that Finn was alive and Li’s been keeping him from his loved ones. This was something that many viewers suspected for a while. Tanner Novlan went on The Talk and discussed his character’s return from the dead, something that has made Finn fans and SINN fans everywhere, thrilled.

“Here’s the thing,” he admitted. “I kinda knew. Don’t be mad at me, but I was blown away at the fan’s reaction! I couldn’t believe the support. But I’m contractually obligated not to tell you guys, and I felt awful about it!”
