Will we ever move on from Sheila/Finn/Steffy's drama? (General)

Pausini, 4/22/2024, 8:52AM (12 days ago)

- In Italy, we are currently seeing the part when Sheila cut her toes and faked her death. Steffy catches her near the toilets of Il-Giardino and frantically tells Finn that Sheila is alive.
- In the USA I see that we are seeing more of the same,... with nearly 1 year and a half of interval. Once again, Sheila is presumed dead but she is not, and Steffy and Finn talk about Sheila 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

How boring is this? 1 year was enough, now we're entering the 4th consecutive year of this Sheila-Finn-Steffy drama. Sheila has terrorized so many characters over the decades, not just Steffy and Finn. Isn't it time to try a new angle for this trio? The Sheila from the 1990s and 2000s was way more entertaining. Her rivalries with Lauren, Maggie, Amber, Brooke, Stephanie and Quinn all worked better than Steffy. Either let Sheila move on from Steffy and Finn, or let Steffy and Finn themselves move on from each other. This couple was refreshing at the beginning, now they don't make much sense anymore. There is no romance since their entire world revolves Sheila. Finn should be able to build a relationship with his mother because deep down it's what he wants, no matter how many times he promises Steffy the opposite. Steffy should finally move on from Sheila and start a new chapter. If the writers still want to keep Steffy with Finn, then they need to give them other things to do. Thomas and Hope have more emotional diversified storylines in comparison. In less than 1 year together, they have already dealt with more complex issues and overcome more objections than Steffy and Finn in 3 years with Sheila. The repetitiveness of the drama (and the dialogs) between Sheila-Finn-Steffy is the most tiresome part of this serial.

As a Sinn fan, I completely agree that the storyline needs to explore more creative forms of angst beyond Sheila. In fact, the Sinn versus Sheila's arc should have concluded after she held Finn hostage and Sinn reunited in Monaco. This would have been the perfect opportunity to shift Sheila's obsession away from Finn and introduce a different obstacle for Sinn. No more Sheila, and definitely no more Liam. It's time for something new—perhaps bringing in an ex-girlfriend or fiancée of Finn's who wants him back to shake things up.

Finn should not be building any sort of relationship with Sheila; it would be a disservice to his character. Entertaining Sheila's presence would only make Finn seem foolish. He already has a great mother figure in Li; he doesn't need Sheila, who has caused him nothing but grief. Finn shouldn't bond with someone who shot him and his wife, left them to die without offering aid, held him hostage, attempted to kill his real mother Li (who risked her life and career to bring him back to life), and Sheila who faked her own death. Finn should be allowed to loathe Sheila consistently. The conflicted feelings may have worked before the shooting, but they don't make sense now.

It's worth noting that TN and KN do not have the same mother-child dynamic on screen as Tanner has with Naomi, in my opinion. The chemistry between Finn and Li as mother and son is much stronger. Tanner and Kimberlin excel in rivalrous and confrontational scenes, which is why the hostage storyline showcased some of Tanner's best performance moments.

Thomas and Hope are also currently broken up and have reached an impassé, so that is not a good comparison to Steffy and Finn. What have they "overcome"? Finn and Steffy continue to overcome things and stick by each other.

I agree with you.... When you get to see the rest of the year, you will see how Shelia is the one who has tried to move on from STEFFY. Yes, she wants a relationship with Finn, but she has left Finn and Steffy alone. Shelia has not even had contact with Finn. She did view him from afar and that is when she saw Kelly was drowning and saved her life. The last year they have made Shelia the town punching bag and she has tried to create a life with Deacon.

I am like you, I believe Finn wants to get to know Shelia. He feels a bond with her that he does not understand. He should be allowed to have a relationship with Shelia if that is what he wants. That relationship does not have to include Steffy. At this point, Finn is Steffy's purse holder. He is forced to do what she says, think the way she thinks, and do not cross her.

Angel was viewing him from afar….after following him from the hospital to the beach. That’s stalking. She also didn’t need to talk to/remind Kelly of who she was at the restaurant. Finn doesn’t need to accept Steffy’s view of Sheila, nor does she need to accept his. They can move on together or separately, I really don’t care as long as they move on from Sheila.

I want Steffy and her children free from that PSYCHO Sheila.
Finn can stick with "mommy", I don't care about him anymore.
Having a mother figure like Li, who gave him everything, he is a sorry excuse of a son /to Li/.
If the writers think that ignoring the chracter of Li makes a better presence of Finn's character, they couldn't be more wrong.

Steffy and her kids were free of Sheila. Sheila wasn’t bothering at all. Steffy is the one coming to Sheila and striking her. What happened was all on Steffy. Sheila was the innocent party that should have laid Steffy on her azz

I think Sheila adds excitement but not with the same old stories. Steffy has every right to hate Sheila forever. It would be fake to forgive and forget that Sheila shot and left for dead Steffy and there in her family. But I’m tired of the same old stories. There’s got to be something new. I would love to see Sheila become rehabilitated without losing her edge. If she’s going to be wicked and evil and criminally insane she has got to do more than deal with Steffy.

This drama with Sheila and Sinn is just getting super old and beyond ridiculous after this many years. And the most frustrating part for me is the fact that Steffy hogged my sceen for way too many years..this charcter has been in every single major storyline for YEARS now! IMO, time to back burn this violent bully..she IS insufferable! Let others that's been backburned for so long have a major storyline!

--
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.

I am praying they move on from this after this story. Steffy and Sheila are not great TV together. The other rivalries worked because Sheila could fight back. In this scenario, she is forced to stand there and allow Steffy to say whatever she wants.

Sinn needs their own story, and Sheacon needs theirs. And there are many possibilities. Sinn fans don't like it, and neither do Sheila fans. Long-lost child retcons are tough for long-term audiences to take, and they have done such an awful job with this one. I don't care anymore.
