Sounds like Steffy finally remembers Sheila's wine-label-switch plot.  And then later Thomas confesses that to Ridge that he knew.   And we're left with everything back the way it was before Brooke's drunken New Year's kiss with Deacon.  Except that Finn is dead.   And Ridge has been hanging out with Taylor. 
I am re-reading the SOD May sweeps article for B&B -- Ridge realizes he was an idiot and that Brooke was manipulated.
From the daily spoilers, it seems like Bill berates Ridge for dumping Brooke. 
So that's it?  All that nonsense as a way to kill off Finn?  Really?

And still, no shocking, never-been-done-before-on-daytime twist.

Based on the time when they announced this, maybe this event already happened, but it was so lame that no one noticed and now they are hoping people will forget about it and they won't mention it anymore lol

It boggles my mind that so many people ran with something a PR guy said. That's their job, to hype up nonsense.

The shocking twist was probably the fact Honeybear is sleeping with Donna again in some unknown location. 🤣

Has Li been on since that very bizarre appearance keeping Sheila away from Finn? Certainly, a grandmother/mother-in-law as caring as Li would check in on Hayes and Steffy.

Does Steffy know where Finn is buried? Was there an off-screen memorial service or one planned?

When Finn is revealed to have survived, could it be with a recast?

And if any of the above is close to what really happened, it's been done countless times on daytime.

What a waste. She will probably come back from this but she shouldn't. They realize that she shouldn't right? Her whole return was yet another dud. Why is it so hard to keep her on the edge of evil? They always make her go overboard every time she returns.

 

I truly wonder: do THEY think this is good? Do they sit back satisfied, put their feet up and say "Oh yeah that was a good denouement for that storyline?". I really wonder.
