Daytime Confidential spoilers (Spoilers)

Maybe Ridge should find out if Hope is ready to take the relationship to the next level before he starts pushing Thomas to be bold. I wonder if this is going to be another case of where Brooke is right about Thomas and Ridge is wrong about his "boy" as Ridge calls him again. Brooke has been right about Thomas every time in the past while Ridge has pushed Brooke to accept that Thomas had changed.

Looking forward to seeing Finn lose his cool

If Luna keeps talking about it, who do you think will over hear and spill the beans??? She needs a rival someone who could really use it to her advantage as a competitor for RJs affection. Too bad there’s no one on the horizon

Douglas is usually the one that overhears a lot of secrets, but he hasn't been on screen lately. I think RJ will be the one that overhears while Luna, Poppy and Zende are talking about it in the office.

I am also looking forward to seeing Finn lose it. I wish they would have him bring up the times that Steffy went to Sheila's apartment to attack her. Even though it was self-defense, I wish they would have Finn and Deacon doubting it and keep bringing up to Steffy that she wished Sheila dead and Sheila died just hours later. To me, it would make good drama. They could decide to believe Steffy later on.

I know Deacon could believe that (and there's good drama in that), but why would Finn? He even acknowledged himself that Sheila was being Sheila right near the end. I think Finn is already constantly being accused of being stupid when it comes to Sheila (they always set him to look like the fool); they had him suspect that it was not self-defense and that his wife killed Sheila in cold blood, Finn would never live that down. And would the pairing even come from a husband thinking his wife and mother of his child is a murderer?

I don't think it would be smart for Finn to also be victim-blaming Steffy, considering what they went through under Sheila.

I think the fact that Steffy instigated the two most recent confrontations could be used as a reason to doubt her story. But I don't actually think that is the story they are telling. If they were I think the stabbing would have been more open for debate. Perhaps it would have taken place at Sheila's home. Most people would agree regardless of their feelings about Steffy that she was justified in the stabbing.

I understand, but Finn seemed to support the first punch and even found it amusing, describing it as a "badass" move by Steffy. During the second confrontation, while he thought Steffy shouldn't have provoked Sheila, he still defended her, insisting that Steffy only punched Sheila because she was pushed first. So, it wouldn't make much sense for him to suddenly believe Steffy is a vicious killer. Personally, I'm relieved they didn't take that route.

Overall, I believe this storyline is poorly written and contrived. I strongly feel that it would have been more effective if Finn had been the one to stab Sheila. His exaggerated reaction to her death, his sudden distance from Steffy (Finn would have NEVER left Steffy alone to deal with police and let her spend a night alone after she went through something traumatic; this was very much unlike him), and his nightmares/hallucinations about Sheila would have made more sense if he had committed the act. Having Steffy be the one to do it feels like a misstep; if they intended for her to be the perpetrator, she should have been the one experiencing the traumatic aftermath, not Finn

I don't for one moment believe that the person Steffy killed is Sheila, so with that in mind, I think it makes sense that it was Steffy and not Finn.
Your version would have been a riveting story, Finn being forced to choose and having all of these crazy emotions, but there would have been a larger buildup—a real story around it.

The more I watch this the more I feel like this is just a plot device. Finn looks bad for a minute, but then it turns out there is some explanation for his over-the-top reaction and this sudden connection to Sheila.
