Taylor is so insincere

I'm not seeing insincerity from Brooke when it comes to concern over Steffy. In conversations she's had with Hope, Hope and Liam together, and when she confronted Sheila at the jail, she has consistently brought up Steffy and her suffering. When she was at the jail with Sheila, she even made it clear that her pain paled in comparison to Steffy's pain, and once again, she put Sheila on notice about going after Steffy and the Forresters. She didn't just tell Sheila to stay away from her, when she easily could have.

Brooke has been more protective over Steffy than Taylor has, especially when it comes to Sheila. Brooke was the one who wanted to close ranks to keep Sheila away because she rightly believed the woman was a threat. Taylor was the one who opened the flood gates and let Sheila get way too comfortable with the family. Brooke was in line with Steffy and Ridge's wishes about Sheila; Taylor was not, because she thought her so-called expertise as a "world-renowned psychiatrist" gave her infallible judgment when it came to a psychopath like Sheila. Brooke was the one who stood by Steffy's side on her wedding day when Sheila crashed it and expressed interest in having access to Hayes. Taylor, as usual, was absent, and once she did return, she promptly overrode Steffy's wishes by suggesting that Steffy allow Sheila to come to the cliff house for Christmas, so she could observe her and tell if she was reformed or not. That single act put the pieces in place for Brooke being targeted and having her marriage implode, and Steffy and Finn getting shot. Because had it not been for that, Brooke and Ridge would have eventually worked through their differences over Deacon, and Finn wouldn't have gone looking for Steffy, who herself wouldn't have confronted Sheila over what she did to Brooke.

And I do believe Brooke has every right to know that Thomas was in on Sheila's secret and didn't tell -- Steffy was the one who told the truth once she got her memory back, and it's heavily implied from her own confrontation with Sheila before she was shot that she was going to blow the whistle on Sheila when she finished with her. Thomas, though conflicted, ultimately chose to keep what he knew to himself, so that Taylor and Ridge could continue getting closer. Not only was it not his call to make regarding his parents' relationship, but he was in possession of information that he knew could make a difference in the lives of everyone. Especially for Steffy, Finn, and Brooke. Steffy would have been vindicated about her concerns that Sheila was still the same person she's always been, which would bolster the efforts for the family to stick together against Sheila. Finn would have finally seen Sheila for what she is by knowing about her underhanded and unprovoked attack on another person, which means he would have likely cut her out of his life for good. And Brooke would have gotten answers about what led to her compromised sobriety, which is crucial for her road back to sobriety. Once again, Thomas put what he wanted ahead of what was in the best interests of other people.
