Why the pretense? Leffy/Stem (General)
Perhaps I have watched a different soap off and on since the beginning. Is it not true that Liam and Steffy have experienced significant betrayals in their relationship? Why pretend it was a fairytale? There is and was no happily ever after for Hope, Liam, Steffy or her “formerly” wacko brother Thomas. That’s the history the show created not the fans. Why gaslight the fans with pretense? Even if they want to reunite Leffy/Steam, there is a much easier way of doing it than undermining Finn or using Sheila. Make Hayes Liam’s son which I doubt they will do as long as they are committed to Sheila as a character. What they should have done is put Li with Bill and make Kelly Bill’s daughter and have Poppy be the femme fatale Li says she is and have her try to pursue Bill. With RJ hating anything messy that would have been more fun to see navigate rather than this over emphasis on the word virgin or first time. It would have been one big soapy mess. Soaps should be messy but sparingly creepy. If wish the show would just use the situations they created to expand the stories and stop playing let’s pretend.
