Fans of The Bold and the Beautiful were treated to an unexpected delight when Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and Tanner Novlan—better known to viewers as Steffy Forrester and Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan—released a sweet and humorous video revealing the “Five Dating Icks” of their on-screen supercouple. While Steffy and Finn are celebrated for their intense chemistry, emotional loyalty, and deep-rooted bond, the video showed a lighter, playful side of the pair that fans rarely get to see behind the polished soap opera drama. The concept of “icks,” those small but hilarious habits that can irritate a partner during dating, gave viewers an up-close look at the quirks and imperfect moments that make Finn and Steffy feel more human—despite their glamorous, high-stakes soap world.

The first “ick” centered around Steffy’s fearless, roller-coaster lifestyle and how Finn sometimes struggles to keep up. In the video, Jacqueline teased that Steffy is the type of person who wakes up ready to take over the world, whether through a spontaneous motorcycle ride, a fierce business deal, or diving into a Forrester family crisis without hesitation. Tanner joked that Finn, despite being a heroic doctor, occasionally finds himself overwhelmed by Steffy’s energy. While fans love Steffy’s fire and strength, this moment highlighted the humorous reality that even a brave, dedicated man like Finn sometimes needs a second to catch his breath. Yet it’s this dynamic—her intensity matched by his compassion—that forms the backbone of their relationship and fuels their bond.

The second “ick” revolved around Finn’s uncontrollable need to “doctor” every situation, whether the moment calls for medical expertise or not. Jacqueline laughed about how Steffy can’t get away with even the smallest complaint—like a finger paper cut or a headache—without Finn launching into diagnostic mode. He means well, but his protective instincts sometimes transform simple moments into mini medical consultations. Fans found this incredibly endearing because it mirrors Finn’s on-screen persona precisely: nurturing, cautious, and endlessly devoted. The video reminded viewers that while his doctorly concern can be overwhelming, it is also a fundamental part of what makes Finn such a reliable and loving partner.

The third “ick” touched on Steffy’s famous Forrester confidence—specifically how she occasionally dominates decision-making without realizing it. Jacqueline admitted that Steffy can sometimes “steamroll” through plans, certain she knows the best option. Tanner jokingly added that Finn often ends up going along with her ideas not because he’s weak, but because he genuinely admires her boldness, even when it exasperates him. This moment resonated with fans who have watched Steffy build her legacy through determination and charisma. The gentle teasing showed that even Steffy’s strongest qualities can lead to endearing tension, proving once again that soap couples are just like real couples—flawed, funny, and learning as they go.

The fourth “ick” involved Finn’s intense competitiveness, something fans rarely get to see on the show. Jacqueline revealed that Finn has a secret “competitive streak” in everything from card games to fitness challenges. Tanner played along, laughing about how Finn hates to lose even when the stakes are as small as who can fold laundry the fastest. This sparked a wave of fan reactions on social media, with viewers loving the idea of a playful rivalry between two characters who are usually battling life-or-death crises. Seeing Finn portrayed as not just a calm, centered doctor but also a spirited competitor added a charming new layer to his personality. It also highlighted how their relationship thrives not only in emotional moments but also in the everyday silliness of domestic life.

The fifth and final “ick” highlighted Steffy’s dramatic flair—something that has become iconic in B&B. Jacqueline joked that Steffy cannot simply enter a room; she must make an entrance. Whether it’s tossing her hair, offering a bold one-liner, or delivering an emotionally charged speech, Steffy’s flair for drama occasionally catches Finn off guard. Tanner laughed that Finn sometimes wishes for a quiet moment, only to be swept into a whirlwind of Forrester theatrics. But this revelation was more sweet than critical, because it reminded fans that Steffy’s passion and intensity—so central to her character—are part of what Finn loves most about her, even if they occasionally overwhelm him.

As the video continued, the playful chemistry between Jacqueline and Tanner became a highlight in itself. Their natural rapport served as a refreshing contrast to the dramatic and often emotional scenes they portray as Finn and Steffy. Fans commented that the video showcased not only the fun dynamic between the actors but also why the supercouple works so well on-screen. Their real-life humor, trust, and ease with one another translate into powerful emotional scenes in the series, giving their characters’ romance depth and authenticity.

The response from B&B fans was overwhelming. Social media filled with comments celebrating the adorable dynamic, with viewers saying the video made them love Finn and Steffy even more. Many noted that the “icks” weren’t really flaws but charming quirks that strengthened the couple’s relatability. The video unintentionally reminded fans why Finn and Steffy have become one of the show’s most beloved modern pairings—they bring together passion, vulnerability, humor, and resilience in a way that feels refreshing compared to the show’s historically turbulent relationships.

Additionally, the playful format allowed fans to see Finn and Steffy outside of constant life-or-death threats, family conflicts, and emotional struggles. Instead of focusing on danger or betrayal, the video emphasized the joy and shared humor that often anchors a strong relationship. It also gave fans a break from the darker storylines that have filled recent episodes, offering a warm, wholesome moment that highlighted love’s softer side.

By the end of the 1000-word reveal and reflection, it became clear that the “Five Dating Icks” were much more than humorous quirks—they were windows into the chemistry and depth that make Finn and Steffy a true supercouple. Through laughter, teasing, and affectionate honesty, Jacqueline and Tanner reminded fans that love is not just about perfection. It’s about embracing the imperfections that make a relationship real, meaningful, and endlessly compelling.
