Bold & Beautiful leading lady Jacqueline MacInnes Wood wasn’t kidding when she told Soaps.com that “Steffy completely loses it” over mom Taylor’s crush on Sheila’s husband, Deacon. Steffy has been beside herself and whatever comes after beside herself with worry over what the psycho might do if she caught wind of her spouse’s (so far just) emotional affair with his shrink. And the fit hasn’t even begun to hit the shan yet!
Steffy’s Dream Life… Ah, If Only!
Were it up to Steffy, she wouldn’t have to spend all day every day wringing her hands over her mom’s desire to put herself in Deacon’s arms even if it also means putting herself in harm’s way. “She’d love to sit on the couch next to Finn and just relax,” the Emmy winner says, “but that’s not Steffy’s way.”
It’s certainly not her luck, that’s for sure.
Steffy and Finn’s Singular Sticking Point
For a hot minute after Sheila protected Steffy from Luna, it appeared that Finn’s better half might be softening her stance on her monster-in-law. But now that Sheila could be put in the mood to kill Taylor — for a second time, it bears mentioning — Steffy’s hard line is harder than ever.
“If Steffy is anything, she is resolute on her take on Sheila,” Wood observes. “It’s one thing that she and Finn will bicker about, and Finn will always take Steffy’s side as torn as he is.

“One thing I’d love about Steffy is how she is able to see the truth about someone,” she adds, “and even though that someone is her mother-in-law, she stays true to herself.”
Could Sheila’s Madness Doom ‘Sinn’?
That being the case, Sheila’s marital drama could spill over into Steffy and Finn’s marriage. The only thing that could come between them, Wood reckons, “would ultimately be Sheila.” So if he perhaps embraced his mother anew out of sympathy for her crumbling union, his rock-solid relationship could start to crumble.

“Only then could Steffy be tempted by someone else,” Wood theorizes. “I think Finn would be tempted before Steffy. But I could be wrong.”
