Why is Ivy coming back? My 2 theories

"Poison Ivy" (as Quinn used to call her) was such an annoying character especially the last part. I was glad when she left.
But now I think her character is needed. Too many women left in the last 5 years (Caroline, Sally, Nicole, Maya, Sasha, Flo, Zoe, Quinn, Shauna, Paris, Taylor).
A woman in Steffy and Hope's age group is desperately needed.
If Ivy can shake things up, let her come back. Here are my 3 theories.

1) She wants Liam back and it'll be a catalyst that brings Steam closer.
I still believe the goal is to reunite them (I think so since the kiss in Rome). But it will take time. If they do reunite, it won't be before the end of this year.
Steffy and Finn will have a huge crisis when Sheila reappears and Steffy finds out Finn was looking for his mom with Deacon. Her marriage is fragile enough, but Sheila's return will make things worse.
His "friendship" with Hope will eventually cause major problems too.
Steffy sticking her nose in Liam and Ivy's business would add more fuel to the fire.
Steffy said more than once she was fine with Lope because "Hope is a decent woman" but she never felt the same way about Sally or Ivy.
I doubt Livy will make her indifferent especially if her own marriage is crumbling at the same time.
I think more and more they're setting up a Thomas-Hope-Finn triangle. Finn is developping feelings for Hope but they won't come out until after Steffy dumps him.
He won't cheat on Steffy, but if his marriage falls apart, he will chase after Hope.
Finn hates Thomas with passion, and these Finn/Thomas fighting scenes weren't put there for no reason.
If Steffy is no longer an option for him, do you really think he will quietly let Hope and Thomas be happy? I don't. He will want Hope for himself.
So this is my first and most likely theory. Ivy and Steffy's rivalry for Liam is resurrected, while Finn and Thomas battle for Hope.

2) Ivy and Thomas reconnect off screen.
Ivy laments that she never got over Liam but that he isn't interested in her. Thomas is still grieving his relationship with Hope.
They remember that they almost had an affair back then. They secretely reconnect in Paris and come back to LA together.
Maybe they have an agenda, and they agree to pretend they are together so they can see Liam and Hope's reaction. Or they are a legit (but short-term) couple.
Hope realizes what she's missed and starts to fight for Thomas. Beginning of a new rivalry and a new triangle with Hope and Ivy. Of course Hope wins in the end, Ivy wouldn't be more than angst.
Meanwhile Finn-Steffy-Liam goes on in a separate triangle.

There is a 3rd theory, Ivy hooking up with Finn. But that one is very unlikely and wouldn't bring much drama.
I don't see Steffy ever fighting another woman for Finn. On the contrary, if he shows interest in another woman, she will be done with him.
It would also mean return of Thomas-Hope-Liam's triangle and I can't see it.
If Hope stays with Thomas and Steffy goes back to Liam, Finn and Ivy could happen on the other hand. But it would happen much, much later down the road.

IMO, it's either Steam vs Livy + Thope vs Hinn OR Sinn vs Steam + Thope vs Tivy.
What do you think and what would you rather watch?

Finn is too much into Steffy that I haven't seen him developing feelings for Hope at all..he's made it clear many times that he's deeply in love with his wife.
I think Steffy will definitely fight for Finn if another woman becomes interested in him..she has shown no interest in Liam.
Ivy could potentially be back for Liam, but I think it's more likely she'll be for Thomas..given that the show has spent a whole year claiming Thomas is "changed" and is supposedly no longer obsessed with Hope, so I think he'll move on with Ivy.

Shown on screen, Steffy blackmailed Bill. Yet, she told Ivy (and Liam too) that “blackmail is a crime”. Per Steffy’s own words, she IS a criminal cuz she has blackmailed.
