At the very end of Monday’s episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers learned that Finn wasn’t deceased, as they had been told he was for the past month and a half.

His adoptive mother, Li, has actually been caring for him, and fans saw him in a hospital bed, hooked up to machines, and her looking over him.

After his true fate had been revealed on-air, Tanner showed up on The Talk to finally discuss his character’s storyline, as he’d been keeping quiet for almost two months.

For having to hide the truth from everyone for weeks, he begged fans: “Don’t be mad at me!”

Tanner added, though, that he was “blown away at the fans’ reaction” to everything.

“I couldn’t believe the support,” the soap actor added.

As much as he wanted to ease everyone’s worries and reveal that Finn is really alive, he said he’s “contractually obligated not to tell you guys” anything.

The Bold star admitted: “I felt awful about it! But it was still kinda fun. 

“And I think that’s what our soap does so well. You never know what’s gonna happen or where this is gonna go.”

Secrecy was of the utmost importance, Tanner explained, which was why even those closest to him didn’t know Finn was alive.

He revealed he couldn’t even tell his mom, who is “the biggest B&B fan.”

“She was devastated that [I was getting killed off],” the actor added. “The whole time I wanted to say, ‘It’s ok, Mom, stick with it.’” 

He continued: “She was SO mad at the producers. I was like don’t write [them], Mom, it’s gonna be ok.”
