They made Steffy insufferable since her return from ML

I've never liked her character (too many reasons to list, the main one was probably her decade long obsession with Liam and her vendettas against the Logans). Although there were times I could tolerate her and even defend some of her choices (when Wyatt and Quinn manipulated her for ex). But right now? She is easily the most hostile, unfriendly, vile character on canvas for me. Even her appearance... she looks so dark and spiteful in most of her scenes.

I think it started when she left town. The reasons why she left her husband never made sense to begin with. She was going to move back in after weeks of separation. She threw a tantrum, blamed all her problems on Finn and punished him just because of 1 interaction with Sheila at the cliff house. But it got worse after her return from maternity leave.

I hate to defend characters I normally despise (Sheila, Deacon, Thomas) but she is making them look nice in comparison. The recent feuds with Sheila were all initiated by Steffy. Sheila was leaving her and her family alone. She had no right to barge into Deacon's place like this and assault Sheila multiple times in her own home. I could understand her more when she slapped Quinn in Monte-Carlo but in this case, she lit the fire for no valid reason. No matter what Sheila did in the past, nothing justifies all these physical assaults against her.

How does "resurrecting" Sheila redeem Steffy? Someone died that night anyway. In fact it makes Steffy look even worse if the person she killed wasn't Sheila Carter. The whole "Sheila is dangerous" argument falls flat if it was Shugar (or whoever it was). She still grabbed a knife, stabbed someone, witheld informations from the police and obstructed the investigation. And showed little remorse for her actions. I don't care if it was self-defense at this point, just like with Aly. She took 2 lives and lied in both cases. She'll always look bad for how she handled things, even if she never meant to murder anyone on purpose. The lack of remorse is mind-boggling.

She looks too hypocritical in her situation with Liam. How is she not a waffler since the Rome scenes? She blamed Brooke for her 1 drunken kiss with Deacon and declared "Brooke never loved Ridge" because she witheld that kiss from him. She blames Hope for not being honest with Thomas even after they told her to mind her own business. She punished Finn for months because he wasn't honest with her about the hugs with Sheila. All she does is judging other people and demanding the truth, but in the meantime she broke her vows and is lying to Finn on a daily basis. Not just talking about the 2 kisses here. She had numerous daydreams about these kisses. She continuously lets Liam interfere in her marriage (still doing it now). She spends unnecessary time with him knowing he wants her back. She repeatedly lied to Finn about Liam's romantic overtures towards her. She straight-up told Liam that she will always love him and then told Finn the opposite. And stayed quiet when he said they would end up together sooner or later. Her heart is clearly divided (even JMW said so) yet she continues to lecture everyone for not being honest.

Her interferences against Hope's love life aren't helping. She has been downright nasty to her. Constantly comparing her to her mother, reminding her of how she cheated on Liam, telling Liam and Thomas they deserve better, accusing her of corrupting and using Thomas. I immensely hate the tone she uses when she talks to her... the smug, the condescending judgement in her voice. They even made me feel sorry for Thomas after her last scene with him. No matter how messy his history with Hope is, nothing justifies Steffy's manipulative tactics. I can never forget the way she bragged and basked when she learnt Thomas broke up. This is gonna backfire sooner or later.

She is looking just as unlikable with Deacon. She has no empathy, no mercy for his grief. She should know better than anyone what it's like to lose your partner. Now she is basically saying Deacon is crazy... even deep down, a part of her isn't 100% sure Sheila is dead. Deacon is the person who saved her life yet she acts like he is the scum of the Earth. I don't like Deacon myself, but he doesn't deserve this.

I really need someone to slap her and teach her a lesson. Uncover the truth about the 2 kisses and her divided heart and blab it to Finn and then he spends the night with another woman (like she and Bill when Liam kissed Sally). Her marriage needs to come to an end. When she goes running back to Liam, she finds him on a date with Ivy and he says no thanks. Then Finn decides to take Hayes and visits Sheila and tells her he will never let her bark orders again. She deserves this kind of karma


I disagree with a couple of points raised in this post. All I will say is, if Steffy goes down, she can go down by herself. There's no need to sink Finn to her level. Let her be the one who messes up and has to fight for Finn and their marriage.

Finn does not need to cheat on her or sleep with another woman. After they separate, Finn can move on to someone like Bridget or Amber.

Finn does not need to bond with Sheila or take Hayes to her. That would just be foolish on his part. Let's not make Finn dumb or unlikeable just because of the way Steffy is acting.

If every other character on the show can be made to be dum and unlikeable why not Finn why is he immune. ?
