I wondered if Sheila had saved Steffy from death yet, or her mother again, or Finn....or someone, anyone.  Then I read the recaps.  Yep, there it is.  Because.....ya gotta dumb down everything for Sheila.  

It's a shame Finn wasn't a more attentive parent.  Because he's only a doctor, he doesn't understand needing to put the phone away and tend to your children.  This is all very plausible.  That....you'd take your kid to the beach and pay little attention to them, especially with your deranged mother on the loose who has a long history of stealing things or people, stalking, murder accusations....definitely shot some people....and, need I say more?

I said months ago - it's only a matter of time until Finn can't "protect Steffi and the family" from his mother.  Then, Steffy and Finn will be done, kaput, etc.....and hopefully Sheila will really kill him off this time.  He's nice to look at, but a total throwaway character like Ivy, Flo, Shauna, et al.

Yeah Finn has been a character who has been front burner for 3 years now and is popular unlike the duds that were Ivy, Flo, and Shauna. 
 

Well I do have to appreciate Finn’s honesty and upfrontness about the beach incident whereas Liam & Steffy have been going behind everyone’s back and in Liam’s case underhanded tactics. Makes the Lame one even look worse. 
 

Maybe I can hold out for Sheila killing Liam?

Yep, so much so that when he "died" last year, there was as SAVE FINN movement going on on various social media sites, even BOLD Producer Casey was shocked by the backlash to Finn dying. SOD even commented their mail bag was full of "Save Finn" letters too

Shauna & Flo leave & no one bats an eye, and Ivy too

Plus SINN is the show's most popular couple, so yeah lol

It's funny that people think Finn is above what they're going to do to him.  They'll toss him to the Sheila wolves just like every other character.  The show at this point HAS to be about Sheila.  They're stuck.  So you will be getting more of stupidity.  Finn will be reduced to a screetching school girl.  Because why?  Sheila.

A lot of the manufactured and accelerated tension with SINN is directly tied to JMW's *annual* leave.

The other 3 existing shows currently include at least 2 characters each that have committed similar crimes, including murder. Yet, those characters have been incorporated into the fabric of the show. Most of those characters did spend time in jail as part of the road back.

If Thomas can 'put in the work' to be a cleansed man through two weeks of intensive therapy, give Sheila six weeks. Instead of burning through tons of story, have Sheila view this chance with Finn + Deacon as incentive to fight her demons. Have Finn meet his 5 siblings, etc. create that conflict with Steffy, but have them work through it as a couple - anything to avoid Steam!

Spiking Brooke's drink - like Quinn before her - shouldn't have gotten us to the alley.

Is he though?  What part of his character tells us that he would never turn his back on a kid at the beach?   It's almost like Finn fans can't accept that he is capable of doing something really stupid.  You want him to be perfect?  That's boring.   I've been enjoying these last couple of episodes because this is the most interesting Finn/Steffy have been.  I really like this conflict.  This is the type of family drama that's fun to watch, IMO.

    • I do agree that a revival of EON would work, if it doesn't fall into doing all of the typical soap opera tropes... which it became guilty of in the final few years of the show with the over abundance of Raven/Sky at the expense of the actual detectives, police, etc. And I know it was mentioned earlier that Raven had lost any true connections on the show with the death of her on screen mother, and the loss of April/Draper/Deborah.. and I do agree with that. I actually thought the show would have done something with the Shelley character that could have connected her to the Raven character.  There were a few scenes where the two would have scenes and size one another up before they would go their separate ways.. so I assumed perhaps they would have been revealed as half-siblings and/or perhaps cousins.  Alas.. not to be.
    • It definitely flowed beautifully. So much that I was annoyed when Vanessa/Doug because I wanted to get back to the party. I know it was intentional to build up tension and suspense. It worked. lol. I'm glad it was there in hingsight because it gave us that great conversation between Doug and Vanessa. Foreshadowing? And yesss!!! This episode was sooo old school soap giving beat after beat after beat leading up to the unveiling of Eva as Ted's daughter. And we still have plenty of fallout/aftereffects to work through.   Speaking of...Bill, Bill, Bill lol. Good to have confirmation HE was the scary lawyer.   I'm sure I will have a busy Monday, but I can't wait for it. I don't know what I'm looking forward to more. Probably Anita vs Silk Press Sheila tbh. And yes, I feel they will be matching each other 'blow for blow.' 
    • And if they go there, it could also be tied to Johnny completely cutting him off, possibly going to work for Titan, etc.
    • @AbcNbc247 maybe it is just that they've gone to that well too often, and I don't like when DAYS goes dark, but I'm OK with EJ abusing drugs, and just skipping the whole sobriety part. Side note: experiencing hallucinations of my son killing me would be enough for me to never want to take a pill again.

    • Part of the reason that Courtney worked at OLTL was because the show had an actual character for her to play.  One that was somewhat different than her character on AW, and after the way she was treated over at AW.. it had to have been nice to be courted onto a new soap that actually valued your contributions.  
    • I figured the "long" was already implied 
    • You'll be very impressed
