Steffy and Finn’s marriage is kaput on The Bold and the Beautiful. Once again Sheila is the source of the couple’s separation. While it’s easy to place the blame on Sheila and Finn, there’s someone else who could be to blame, Steffy’s mother Taylor.

Key Takeaways

  • Taylor had an affair with Sheila’s husband Deacon.
  • After her divorce from Deacon, a lonely Sheila wanted to reconnect with Finn.
  • Steffy ended her marriage after discovering Sheila crashed her and Finn’s trip.

Taylor’s Happiness Leads to Steffy’s Heartache

Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) hope for a romantic vacation with Finn (Tanner Novlan) was shattered because of Sheila (Kimberlin Brown). Steffy blew a gasket after discovering Sheila followed Finn to Monte Carlo.

When Finn tried to play peacemaker, Steffy’s fury increased. In a heated moment, Steffy took off her wedding ring and fled Monte Carlo.

With Steffy and Finn’s marriage over, fans are pointing the finger at who’s to blame for the couple’s demise. Of course, Finn and Sheila are getting their fair share along with Steffy. However, another person could be guilty as well, and that’s Taylor (Rebecca Budig).

Sheila was at peace and didn’t cause any trouble for Sinn while she was married to Deacon (Sean Kanan). Sheila was content because she’d finally found love and enjoyed her new life as Mrs. Sharpe. But when Deacon left her for Taylor, a lonely Sheila got the urge to reconnect with her son.

Taylor knew that Sheila was a threat to Sinn’s marriage when Ms. Carter blackmailed her by refusing to sign the divorce papers. The world-renowned psychiatrist had an opportunity to put a stop to Sheila’s shenanigans but didn’t do anything. Instead, Taylor was focused on saving her relationship with Deacon then her daughter’s happiness.

Sacrifices for Steffy

With Steffy’s marriage over, she’s going to need comfort from her mom. Taylor will do anything in her power to help save her daughter’s marriage. But will it come at her expense?

Taylor might try to bargain with Sheila to get her to leave Finn and Steffy alone. However, her gesture could cost Taylor her own happiness.

Sheila is still reeling from her divorce and carrying a torch for Deacon. For Sheila, Deacon is her true love, the one who saw the good in her when others didn’t. If Sheila wants Deacon back, she might use Taylor’s desperation as her bargaining chip.

Sheila could promise to stay away from Finn and Steffy if Taylor breaks it off with Deacon. If that happens, Taylor will have a heartbreaking choice to make.

Will she sacrifice her relationship with Deacon to save Sinn’s marriage? Or will Taylor and Deacon find a way around the Sheila situation?
