Is Li Finnegan really dead?

From the moment Li arrived on the scene, The Bold and the Beautiful fans loved her. As John “Finn” Finnegan’s (Tanner Novlan) adoptive mother, she won viewers over with her performances. Li had huge storylines, including discovering her husband Jack Finnegan’s (Ted King) affair with Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) led to Finn’s conception.

After Sheila shot Finn in cold blood, Li went into protective mother mode. She snuck a comatose Finn from the hospital and cared for him in her home. However, Li’s secret was uncovered when Sheila escaped from prison and came to Li’s home.

The two women argue over Finn, who showed signs of waking up. Although they called a truce, Li angered Sheila by trying to call the police. A scuffle broke out, and Li fled in fear for her life. A high-speed car chase ensued, and on the June 22 episode, fans watched Li’s Jeep crash into the water.

It appears Li is dead, but as fans know, characters can return, especially from a watery grave.

Sheila will do anything to keep Finn away from Steffy; however, her plan will be foiled by Li. When Li returns, she’ll want Sheila to pay for her crimes and will have her arrested. With Sheila returning to jail, Li will assert herself as Finn’s only mother. Yet, Li and Finn’s relationship might be strained.

While Finn is grateful to Li for saving him, he’ll be upset she didn’t tell Steffy. Speaking of Steffy, she’ll also be furious Li let her believe her husband was dead. As Li mentioned, she blames Steffy and the Forresters for Sheila coming into their lives. If Steffy thought Sheila was the mother-in-law from hell, she hasn’t seen Li’s dark side.
