Steffy made her own bed.
Naah, she never really reformed herself. I was a bit baffled by that “retconning” of her character having a child and just giving him away, as that would’ve been a selfless act. That seemed way out of character for her, and more likely she would’ve used the kid to rope Finn’s father into marriage and dumping his Asian wife (they seemed to drop the storyline of what happened with his parents, as it seemed like the wife was headed to divorce court after learning the truth about Finn’s parentage).
It didn’t take much for Sheila to be pushed over the edge, anyhow. She may have switched Brooke’s drink from non-alcohol to alcohol in retaliation, but then Brooke deciding to flirt and smooch with Deacon was on Brooke, not Sheila (where Steffy was wrong). I don’t really care for Brooke and painting her as some paragon of love and virtue when she was, after all, rightfully nailed by Stephanie as “the slut from the valley.” Ridge going back to her time and time again made him an idiot. Even Eric fawning over her after what she did to him wasn’t much better. I also don’t know what all these other men (including Bill Spencer and Deacon Sharpe) see in her except for an “easy lay.” You’d think she was the only viable female in Los Angeles.
BTW, I’ve never adjusted to “NuRidge.” Ronn Moss was the quintessential laid-back California dude as Ridge. Thorsten Kaye is still playing his thuggish, emo jet-black Zach Slater role from “All My Children.” Way too intense and ready to just explode. Add to that, I don’t think he has much chemistry with Brooke. Always seemed forced. He had better chemistry with Quinn.
