The Famous Baby Beth Switch
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.
Beth’s Maternity Retconned
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?
