Beth is Hope and Liam’s miracle daughter on The Bold and the Beautiful. The couple went through many obstacles to reunite with Beth, who was taken away from them as an infant. But a new twist could destroy the family’s happiness.
Key Takeaways
Beth was part of a baby switch thanks to Dr. Reese Buckingham.
Hope believed Beth had died, but she was actually adopted by Steffy.
A DNA test was never done on Beth when she was reunited with Hope and Liam.
Fans have long speculated whether Beth is actually Hope’s daughter.
From the moment Beth (Jordyn Lynn Ariza) was born, her life has been chaotic. A pregnant Hope (Annika Noelle) was on vacation alone when she went into labor. Dr. Reese Buckingham (Wayne Brady) helped deliver Hope’s baby, but later informed her that Beth had died.
Unbeknownst to Hope and Liam (Scott Clifton), their daughter was alive and used as part of Reese’s baby scam. With help from Flo (Katrina Bowden), Reese convinced Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) to adopt the baby. Beth, then going by Phoebe was raised by Steffy for the first few months of her life.
Many people, including Zoe (Kiara Barnes) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) learned the truth, but kept it a secret. However, Hope and Liam eventually discovered Beth was alive and reunited with their daughter.
The Beth switch was one of B&B’s top storylines, and it’s recently been the topic of conversation. Hope and Liam’s recent discussion about the baby switch has fans believing a twist is coming.
For years, many fans have speculated whether Hope is really Beth’s mother. First, there was another woman at the hospital the night Beth was born. The woman had recently lost her baby, and many believe it was her child, not Beth, that Steffy adopted.
Second, Hope and Liam never had a DNA test conducted on Beth. They just took everyone’s word at face value and didn’t need any proof. But that one mistake could come back to haunt Lope.
The recent focus on Beth and talk of the baby switch has fans on Reddit wondering if Beth’s maternity will be retconned. “Something is going to happen. There’s no way they would be rehashing this so much right now,” wrote one viewer.
“Yeah. Beth will have to have a blood test so she can officiate at the wedding (new law?). Then oops, no match to Hope or Liam,” one commenter suggested.
Hope and Liam have been too happy since their latest reunion, which means drama is coming. Will it come out that Beth is not Lope’s daughter? Or is there another danger threatening Lope and Beth’s happiness?
The drama surrounding Karen Huger has escalated from the courtroom to financial chaos. Sources reveal that millions in breach-of-contract fines have left the Real Housewives of Potomac star reeling, with networks reportedly refusing to work with her amid the scandal. Insiders say her once-comfortable savings are now depleted, forcing her to consider selling luxury properties just to stay afloat.
Fans remember Karen as the “Grand Dame of Potomac,” but insiders claim the past few months have been anything but glamorous. “She went from red-carpet appearances to financial panic in record time,” a source said. “The fines are crushing, and there’s no backup. Networks don’t want to touch her while the legal issues are unresolved.”
Reports suggest Huger may need to liquidate high-end homes to cover mounting debts. Friends and former cast members say she’s been agonizing over which properties to sell, revealing just how dire her financial situation has become. “It’s heartbreaking to see someone so used to the lap of luxury scrambling just to survive,” one insider said.
With the scandal and fines casting a long shadow, her reality career is reportedly on hold. Producers are allegedly wary of associating with her, fearing negative publicity could jeopardize new projects. “Her star power is still there, but networks don’t want the risk right now,” the source added.
Karen’s next moves are critical. Observers say she’ll need to negotiate settlements, downsize her lifestyle, and rebuild her public image if she hopes to survive financially and professionally. Fans are watching closely, wondering if the “Grande Dame” can reclaim her throne—or if this scandal marks the beginning of her downfall.
