In the past she was pregnant with Ridge's child, but Steffy's grandmother Stephanie Forrester secretly convinced Morgan to have an abortion. Tormented ever since Morgan decided that she has to get pregnant by Ridge again to re-gain what she lost because of Stephanie. Morgan pretends to be Taylor's friend, but secretly schemes and fakes a message from Taylor to Ridge in which Taylor agrees that Ridge should impregnate Morgan. Ridge gives in believing his wife wants it and Morgan gets pregnant. Ridge hides that Morgan is pregnant with him for months, but ends up telling his wife the truth and Taylor is heartbroken. She doesn't want to forgive her husband and accuses Morgan of destroying her family. Morgan is pleading with Taylor and asks her to see her child as a blessing, but Taylor isn't having it. She tries to get away from Morgan, but the woman follows her upstairs. When Taylor refuses to listen to her and tells her to get out Morgan starts to struggle with Taylor and while Taylor tries to push her away Morgan falls over the balcony and loses her baby. Morgan blames Taylor for losing her baby and shortly after decides to kidnap Steffy from a boat during a storm with a help of her acquaintance that was working on a boat. Taylor and Ridge believe that their daughter fell into the ocean when they find Steffy's lifejacket bitten by the sharks, but Steffy has been hid from them and taken to Morgan where Morgan colored her hair red and asked her to call her mommy. Taylor and Ridge are grieving.One day Steffy manages to call her father when Morgan is not at home. He is shaken when he hears a child calling him "daddy", but Morgan is there and convinces him to ignore it. Taylor is inconsolable and makes a decision to take some time alone. Before she stops by at Morgan's home and hears Steffy calling "mommy". Morgan tries to stop her, but Taylor storms into the room and see's Steffy. Taylor and Steffy have a tearful reunion. When Taylor tries to call Ridge Morgan hits her head and leaves Taylor unconscious. Taylor becomes Morgans hostage. At one point Ridge finds Steffy's drawing in Morgan's purse and starts being suspicious. He confronts Morgan and she lies to him. He drives his car though the wall of Morgans home to get inside. He see's Taylor and Steffy being alive. Morgan has a gun and her friend Tim Reid encourages to kill Ridge so they don't end up in jail. Morgan isn't able to kill her ex boyfriend so she and Tim flee the scene. Taylor and Ridge bring Steffy at home where she is happily reunited with her siblings.

In 2002, Taylor was "killed" in an altercation with Sheila Carter. After a period of mourning, Ridge remarried Brooke Logan, Taylor's enemy and rival for Ridge's heart. They didn't know that Taylor's former husband, Prince Omar Rashid of Morocco replaced Taylor's body with a wax dummy and healed the real Taylor at his palace. When Taylor reappeared in 2005 she was shocked to see that Ridge re-married and that he has a son with Brooke, but she was very happy to see Steffy and her other two children again. The children wanted their parents back together. Another person that wanted it was Stephanie Forrester, Ridge's mother that always preferred Taylor over Brooke. Ridge was torn between Taylor and Brooke, but Stephanie fakes a heart attack and Ridge, wanting to make his mothers dream come true returns to Taylor. Ridge and Taylor make love and Ridge assures Taylor that he loves her, but soon the couple starts to have problems because Ridge misses Brooke. Heartbroken and insecure Taylor allows Hector Ramirez to kiss her. Brooke uncovers it and tells Taylor to tell Ridge or else she will. Taylor decides to be honest even if Stephanie tells her that she will lose Ridge if she does it. She also revealed that long ago she had slept with James Warwick, which torpedoed her marriage to Ridge. Ridge called her a hypocrite that constantly judged Brooke. Taylor was heartbroken. Steffy and Phoebe left to attend boarding school in London, although Phoebe returned by herself in 2006.

Return to L.A. in Adulthood[]

In 2008, Steffy arrived home determined to work her way up at Forrester Creations . She started in the shipping department, where she met Marcus Forrester. When Donna Logan took over at Forrester, Steffy dug up dirt and found out that Donna was Marcus' birth mother. Though Ridge disapproved of Steffy dating Donna's son, things went well until Rick Forrester got control of the company himself and sent Marcus to Forrester International so Steffy would be available.

Romance with Rick[]

Rick had been dating Phoebe, but after she broke up with him due to him cheating on her with Ashley Abbott Rick bonds with Phoebe's and Steffy's mother Taylor Hayes. Rick helps her to deal with her alcohol problem and the two end up in bed. Phoebe found out and became enraged because she still loved Rick and had hopes that they could re-kindle their flame. Taylor tried to calm her daughter and decided to stop seeing Rick. After some time Phoebe told Rick and Taylor that she gives them her blessing however Taylor leaves Rick because she's still in love with her ex husband Ridge. Phoebe heard from Steffy that Rick tried to kiss her. Phoebe was hurt that not only did Rick sleep with her mother, but not he also pursued her twin sister. Phoebe's rage lead to an angry confrontation in Rick's car. Phoebe lashed out at Rick and pushed the gas with her feet while she tried to push the stop pedal and the car crashed causing Phoebe's death. Ridge, who didn't like Rick from the beginning, was enraged and blamed Rick for Phoebe's death. Steffy also blamed Rick initially, but bonded with him over their shared grief eventually leading to a kiss. Marcus returned and wanted to marry Steffy who, by that time, was more interested in Rick. When the secret relationship was exposed, Ridge fumed because of Rick's part in Phoebe's death, and Steffy found the entire family against her including her brother Thomas who almost killed Rick in an explosion that was meant to scare him. Steffy agreed to marry Rick, but he resented Ridge's treatment of Brooke over the years and even though he claimed that he loves Steffy a part of him proposed to Steffy also to hurt Ridge and ruin his marriage to Brooke. Rick boasted about it to Ridge who was secretly recording the conversation. Steffy dumped Rick after hearing it but briefly took him back before finally realizing that their relationship would never withstand all the family opposition. Marcus later tried unsuccessfully to revive things with Steffy.

Attempts To End Bridge/Tridge Love Triangle[]

Steffy was thrilled when Ridge ended up going back to Taylor on his own after he and Brooke broke up after an argument about Rick and his involvement in Phoebe's death, but as their wedding approached, Steffy faked text messages to Brooke to make sure the marriage happened. She knew that Brooke suddenly wanted her father back and she was scared that they will get back together if they see each other and talk. Brooke found out and stopped the wedding, cementing her place as Steffy's enemy. Brooke and Ridge went back together and Steffy's mother ended up disappointed once again.

Pursuing Owen Knight[]

Steffy became attracted to Owen Knight after he saved her life, but he was married to Jackie Payne. Jackie thinks that Steffy could give Owen a child as she is young. Owen was tempted by Steffy's overtures, but remained faithful to Jackie and nothing more than a kiss happened between him and Steffy.

Uses Bill to get Forrester Back[]

Bill Spencer Jr. acquired Forrester Creations and Steffy became intrigued by the older man. Steffy earned a promotion to Head of Public Relations. Bill was engaged to Katie Logan, but had an undeniable attraction to Steffy and didn't mind when she kissed him. Steffy was disappointed when Bill married Katie and outraged when he made her CEO of Forrester. When Katie gave her sisters leadership positions in the company, Steffy launched an all out war against the entire Logan family. Using the attraction between herself and Bill she arranged a seduction and swiped Katie's engagement ring from Bill's bedroom before any lovemaking could take place. Steffy threatened to tell Katie how she got the ring if Bill didn't sign the company over to her. Steffy edged the Logans out by dividing the company's stock equally between Ridge, Stephanie, Eric Forrester and Taylor.

Exposing the "Broliver" Scandal and Rivalry with Hope[]

Stepping up her battle against the Logans, Steffy tried to seduce Oliver Jones, the boyfriend of her step-sister, Hope Logan. Oliver didn't bite, but Steffy did manage to publicly embarrass Hope at a showing for her Hope For The Future fashion line by rigging the sign to read "Ho" For The Future. When Oliver inadvertently videotaped Brooke's daughter, Bridget cheating on her husband, Steffy wanted to use the footage to hurt Brooke's family, but Oliver talked her out of it. Instead, Steffy went for the jugular after Brooke "accidentally" had sex with Oliver at Hope's graduation party, where everyone wore masks. Steffy told Brooke she wouldn't go public about the tryst if Brooke left Forrester and sent Hope away to college. Oliver also had to date Steffy. Brooke diffused Steffy's bomb by telling Ridge about Oliver herself. A forgiving Ridge forced Steffy to craft a video tribute to Brooke. Computer tech Liam Spencer mistakenly recorded Steffy talking to Ridge about Brooke's betrayal. Justin Barber, Liam's boss at Spencer Publications, coerced Liam into augmenting Steffy's video with the recording, betting that Brooke's latest scandal would help sell magazines. Ridge fired Steffy when the video went public, but Steffy got Liam to help clear her name. Taylor demonstrated her faith in her daughter by gifting her with her 25% share in Forrester. Angry with Ridge, Steffy momentarily considered selling her stock to Bill, who still wanted the company.

Thomas' interest in Brooke[]

Steffy transferred to Forrester International after making a few moves on Liam, who had started dating Hope. Steffy came home with Bill Spencer on her mind. She recalled their flirtations and declared that she was a better match for Bill than Katie. Steffy claimed to understand Bill's motivation after saving Amber Moore from Bill's murder plot, which prompted Katie to walk out. Later, she desperately asked Bill for help when Thomas went missing at sea. Bill declared his love for Steffy after the rescue brought them closer, but he refused to leave Katie. Steffy was overjoyed when Ridge divorced Brooke and planned to remarry Taylor upon learning that Thomas and Brooke had sex on a deserted island while hopped up on psychedelic berries. Ridge later returned to Brooke when it turned out Thomas lied about the encounter because Stephanie promised him her stock.

Affair with Bill Spencer Jr.[]

Steffy's and Bill's romance started to become more serious. At one point Bill wanted to leave his wife for Steffy. Bill and Steffy bonded because while Katie couldn't accept that Bill tried to murder Amber the Forrester girl showed him love and understanding. Bill saw Steffy as a "ride and die" girl. They almost made love, but Taylor caught them and stopped the two before they could consummate their affair. Steffy buys a loft so she and Bill can be intimate without interference, but Bill and Steffy never had sex in the loft because Steffy's mother Taylor decides to do the right thing by informing Katie about her husband's and Steffy's affair. Katie confronts Bill and he confesses. Katie has a heart attack. Bill vows to be there for Katie and he breaks things off with Steffy. Steffy tries to minimalize the importance of Katie's heart attack and doesn't want it to be the reason of why she and Bill can't have a life together, but Bill refuses to stay with her. Steffy is angry and starts breaking things at her loft. A heartbroken Steffy gets a visit from Hope. The Logan girl tells her off for trying to break her aunts marriage up which infuriates Steffy.

The Beginning of "Steam"[]

Steffy slipped in her bathtub and almost drowned. She was saved by Liam (who had stopped by to return his key) and developed an attraction to him. She kissed him right on the spot which shocked him. Steffy tried to win Liam over by seducing him and showing him that she can give him what Hope can't. She pointed out that Hope doesn't offer him sex and that she is more focused on her line than him. Liam is tempted by Steffy's attempts to win his heart, but he remained with Hope even if he was growing increasingly more sexually frustrated and he was attracted to Steffy. One day Steffy witnessed Liam proposing to Hope during a fashion show, but encouraged by her mother Taylor Hayes who said that "engaged isn't married" she continued to pursue Liam also when he was already engaged. One day Hope decided that she and Liam are so close that there is no reason to wait and she went to his house where she was a parked car and inside Steffy and Liam that were sharing a kiss that Steffy asked Liam for. It was supposed to be their goodbye kiss. Hope went to put her engagement ring on the mantle and when Liam saw it he was heartbroken and angry because he had no idea that Hope saw him cheating with Steffy. In the heat of the moment Liam put Hope's ring on Steffy's finger and they made love. Shortly after Steffy and Liam go to Aspen. Hope regrets overreacting and follows them after learning where the two went. She asks Liam to see her on the top on the mountain. Liam decides to see Hope on the mountain and waited there for her. Steffy and Bill found a way to stop the gondola that Hope was in on her way to the mountain. Hope saw Liam, but Liam didn't see her. Steffy walked towards Liam in a wedding dress and the two married while a devastated Hope had to watch them exchange their vows. After Liam and Steffy came back home a shocked Liam learned that Hope tried to go to the mountain top. Brooke told Liam that Hope went to his house and wanted to give herself to him, but saw him and Steffy kissing and she didn't break up with him for no reason. Liam tells Brooke that although he cares for his wife what he and Steffy have doesn't even come close to what he and Hope shared. Steffy does everything she can to keep her husband happy, but she can notice that he still cares for Hope. One say Steffy decides to confess to Liam that she took a part in stopping Hope's gondola and she excused it by her love for him. Liam goes straight to Hope, but Thomas stops him and reminds him who his wife is. Thomas and Hope flirt which drives Liam crazy even if he himself is married and sexually active with Steffy. Steffy makes a pact with Thomas. He is supposed to pursue Hope so she and Liam can have a peaceful marriage without Hope Logan in their lives. Steffy and Liam decide to go to Cabo. Thomas, not knowing to which resort Steffy and Liam went, decides to take Hope to the same resort. Steffy likes the reasort even if she learned that the name of the resort is "Hope" in Spanish. Her good mood ends when she spots Hope and Thomas. Steffy is angry with her brother, but he explains that he didn't know. The two decide to keep Hope and Liam apart. While Steffy thinks of ways to keep Liam and Hope in the dark that they are spending time in the same place Liam daydreams about Hope and occasionally wonders why his wife is always roaming around the resort instead of spending more time with him. Steffy and Bill organize an engagement ring so Thomas could propose to Hope. Hope declines. Steffy is determined to rush things between her rival and her brother so she starts buying drinks for them and asks the hotel staff to deliver the drinks to Hope and Thomas. Hope lets herself go and decides to enjoy the free drinks that are coming in while a concerned Steffy observes her brother and Hope from above. Liam shows up and notices Hope and Thomas. He realized that Steffy kept the truth about Hope being in the same resort from him and when Liam starts to call for Hope Steffy's hearts break and she starts crying. Thomas see's Liam and decides to take Hope away on a quad. Instead of staying with Steffy and talking it out Liam decides to follow Thomas and Hope. Steffy follows right after them, but unfortunately she has an accident on her way to catch her husband. Liam reaches Hope and Thomas and shares a kiss with Hope on the beach. Thomas informs Liam and Hope that Steffy got hurt. Steffy gets rushed to the hospital where Ridge demands Liam to stand by his wife. Hope and Liam are crushed when they realize that they can't be together when the doctor says that Steffy has a blood cloth and she might die if she has too much stress. In reality Bill covinced the doctor to say this to Steffy and her family to secure Liam's and Steffy's marriage. This time Bill schemes alone and unaware Steffy is convinced that she is in grave danger. Katie, Hope's aunt, discovers that Steffy's head scan is fake. Bill tries to stop her, but she manages to inform Liam and Hope. Liam is sure that Steffy knew and runs straight to Hope. Steffy begs him to stay with her, but he insist on being with Hope. Steffy confronts Bill for lying and not only destroying her marriage, but making her believe that she might die. Liam asks Steffy for an annulment because Hope wants to get married fast. Steffy doesn't agree and wants the 6 months waiting period and a normal divorce. Rick, Hope's brother, tries to convince Steffy to sign the annulment papers and offers her ro re-kindle their old flame but she tricks him and writers "loser" on the document instead of signing them. Rick thinks that he did it and informs Hope and Liam just to realize that Steffy tricked him. Hope tries to convince Steffy into signing the annulment papers a couple of times, but each time she refuses and once calls Hope Liam's rebound which infuriates Hope that initiated a chocolate fight with Steffy.

Steffy hopes that Liam will choose him but he chooses Hope[]

Back in LA Steffy confides in her grandmother Stephanie Forrester that Liam tore up their annulment papers and kissed her and she told her grandmother that Hope bumped into her while skiing and left her without mentioning that Hope didn't leave until she asked her if Steffy's was ok first and that she herself didn't know that she was hurt until she tried to stand up. Meanwhile Hope informs a surprised Liam that she will move out of the Malibu home and she won't live with him until they're married. She also asked him if he still wants to marry her and Liam replies that he loves her and is very much committed to her and he doesn't tell her that he kissed Steffy in Aspen. He admits that the accident horrified him and that she shouldn't go skiing after taking pills. Hope agrees that Liam is right and she swears that she will never take another pill again.

Steffy tells Ridge, Thomas and Taylor that she believes that she and Liam might go back together, but her family is cautious. Steffy thinks that the collision she had with Hope might be the best thing that happened to her and Liam. Ridge shares the story about the Aspen kiss with Ridge. She tells her dad that she feels that she and Liam belong together and her marriage is far from over.

Steffy and Hope meet at Brooke's house. Hope apologizes to Steffy for accidently hurting her and hugs her. Steffy says that Hope didn't mean to hurt her. Steffy notices that Hope came to Brooke with her bag and Steffy finds out that Hope moved out of Liam's home. Hope asks Steffy if she would like to come to her wedding. Steffy gives her a diplomatic answer to not set anything in stone until their plans are made. Hope reveals that the wedding will happen in the south of Italy.

Ridge doesn't agree to design Hope's wedding gown and tells Brooke that Steffy and Liam are already reconnecting while Hope asks Steffy if Liam said anything about changing his mind about marrying her. Steffy confirms that something happened between her husband and her and tells her that this divorce is never going to happen, but she doesn't tell Hope the details.

After her conversation with Liam Steffy paid Liam a visit. She tells Liam that what happened between in Aspen are their little secret. Liam invites her in and she says that she won't step a foot in that house until he tells her that she has to come back home. She tells Liam that Hope is secure that he is committed and it was hard to listen to Hope's wedding plans. She tells Liam that what happened between them in Aspen was the most romantic moment in her life. Steffy gives Liam a kiss and says goodbye to him.

Steffy visits Liam and Spencer Publications, but Hope happens to already be there. Hope mentions that Steffy said something happened between them in front of Liam. Liam gets nervous. Hope starts talking about their upcoming wedding in Italy and hugs Liam and Steffy leaves.

Steffy has a talk with her grandma again and Brooke overhears. She found out that her daughter's fiance, Liam tore up the annulment papers. Steffy calls him and tells him about it. Liam says maybe it's for the best and Stephanie reads Liam's words as he is making a decision that he is going back to Steffy. Liam asks Brooke to not reveal the truth about Aspen to Hope.

The last day of Steffy's marriage arrives. Steffy has a timer set and she waits for Liam to stop the divorce. Bill goes to Liam and encourages him to go back to Steffy. When Bill leaves, Ridge visits him too and reminds him that he needs to make a decision.

Liam calls Steffy and asks to see her. Steffy is very happy to receive that call and goes to the Malibu house. Steffy screamed out of joy and started getting ready. Stephanie hears the scream and she's super happy for Steffy and asks her to text her with news. Stephanie informs Taylor that Liam called Steffy. Taylor wonders if she will get a happy call from Steffy or a sad one. Steffy arrives at the cliff house and see's a romantic setting with candles and wine. Steffy and Liam drink wine together. She tells him that it would be hard for her if their marriage ended and she knows that it would be hard for him too. Liam reminds Steffy about all of their moments in Aspen and Cabo and says it was a hell of a ride and that he wouldn't trade it for anything. He tells her that she is the only person that understood his fascination with Bob Hope. He notices that Steffy didn't take the engagement ring off. Steffy replied that she will always treasure their time together and asks them if it's their end or a new beginning. Liam tells her that they will never end married or not. Steffy reminds Liam of the countdown till midnight that ends their marriage. Liam received a video chat from Hope where she shows him her wedding dress. Liam tells Hope she is so beautiful. Hope and Liam exchange "I love you's" in front of a sad Steffy. He apologized to Steffy for making her feel uncomfortable. Steffy tells Liam that a part of him wants to be with her and wants to call off the divorce. She said that she saw love in his eyes when he video chatted with Hope and he can't disappoint her or be with the both of them. Steffy and Liam both cry and Steffy takes off her ring and tells Liam to just hold her. Liam gives her a kiss right before the midnight comes and their divorce is final. Steffy thanks Liam for the memories and leaves.

Hope and Liam's Wedding in Italy[]

Having forged a tentative truce with Hope, Steffy hesitated accepting an invitation to Hope's wedding in Puglia, Italy Bill realized that Liam still had unresolved feelings, and hinted the tide could turn in Steffy's favor, so Steffy attended. Steffy was at Liam's side when he found a note that implied Hope had jilted him, so Liam kissed Steffy and prepared to go away with her on the Spencer jet. Hope later returned and explained that the appearance of her estranged father, Deacon Sharpe, had delayed her and that the goodbye note was from her father to her. Steffy heard everything from the bathroom and was heartbroken when Liam went to marry Hope. Steffy watched the ceremony from afar, but slipped and fell into the Adriatic Sea. She was furious when she discovered that Bill had sprung Deacon Sharpe from jail in an attempt to push Liam back toward Steffy. An iPad had accidentally recorded video of Liam and Steffy making out in Italy. Steffy deleted it but first e-mailed a copy to herself. One day Hope saw the video and declared she hated Steffy before insisting on a fresh wedding to Liam. The night before the ceremony Hope and Liam were supposed to be together, but Steffy's grandmother started feeling bad and Hope stayed with her instead., Liam hung out with Steffy, having followed her to a club, and had a great time dancing together. They woke on the roof of the club, and Liam was sporting dyed hair and a tattoo. Steffy dropped off the very late and hung-over Liam at the wedding venue. Hope heard the motorcycle and realized Steffy had delivered Liam, and then after seeing him, she called off the wedding and dumped him. Bill angrily advised Liam to forget her after Liam humiliated himself by begging Hope on his knees. Taylor spoke to a devastated, crying Liam, reminding him that Steffy still loved him. Later he sought out Steffy. Steffy took him to a bungalow on Brooke's property where she had spent time with Ridge as a child to talk. After talking, Steffy and Liam made love which Donna Logan saw and reported back to Bill and Brooke.

Steffy's Pregnancy[]

After Hope left Liam believing that Liam has cheated Steffy and Liam bonded and went back to each other and travelled together. Steffy and Liam's flight to Hawaii was diverted to Aspen when Bill and Brooke needed the Spencer jet to look for Katie, who had disappeared during a bout with postpartum depression. Steffy helped Liam look after his new baby brother, Will. When it was evident Katie wasn't in Aspen, Steffy and Liam found time to go parasailing together. Returning to Los Angeles, Liam asked Steffy to move in with him. Steffy agreed, but kept her penthouse loft in an effort to maintain some independence. Steffy was very hopeful and secure in her relationship, but meanwhile Hope found out that Liam didn't cheat on her with Steffy and that it was a lie fabricated by her brother Rick. The truth came out thanks toCaroline Spencer II, Liam's cousin and Rick's girlfriend at the time who pushed Hope's brother to confess. Hope ran straight to Liam and apologized to him. She kissed the shocked Spencer man and he went home and confessed what happened to Steffy. Steffy asked if that changed things, but Liam assured Steffy that he likes who they are together and that it's simple and fun, natural and that she is the one that makes him smile. Steffy then leaves Liam home and goes straight to Hope to asks her what she is planning and Hope says that she wants to win Liam back. Steffy tells Hope to not try because she had her chance and that she won't accept Hope interfering in her relationship with Liam. Hope tells Steffy that truth has changed everything, but Steffy thinks that the clock can't be turned around because she and Liam are connected. Hope asked Steffy if she wouldn't interfere if would be the other way around and Steffy admitted that she didn't play fair, but said that now it's different. Hope said that she won't use any games, but she won't back off. Steffy mentioned how Hope's mother flaunted her sexuality to get Steffy father Ridge, but Hope replies that she is not her mother. When Steffy left Hope's home Liam came by to see her and they embraced. He told Hope that he revealed the truth to Steffy, but Hope informed him that Steffy already came and informed her about it and said that she and Liam were in bed when he told her. Hope said that Steffy also told her to not interfere because nothing had changed. Hope asked Liam if that's true. Liam replied by saying that she believed Rick and Othello, Rick's friend instead of him. He said that he and Steffy grew closer since the time he and Hope broke things off. Hope says she knows that she will have to earn his trust back and asks Liam to not count her out. Liam smiles to Hope in response. Back at home Liam has a conversation with Steffy. Steffy tells Liam that she knows that Hope is on his mind, but it's her job to take her out of it and they kiss. Steffy flirtingly shows Liam a piece of sexy see through lingerie from the Intimates collection asking for Liam's "professional opinion". They joke around and kiss again. Steffy stars walking around in lingerie from her line and tells Liam that she cares only about him and making him happy. She reminds Liam that he is in a good place, relaxed and free and asks him to not go into all the Hope drama again. They toast and kiss again. Steffy tried to encourage Liam to stay with her instead of going to work, but Liam says he has to go. Liam arrived at work where he meets Hope that informs her that his father Bill accidentally pushed Caroline from the balcony during an argument. Bill wants Steffy and Liam to be together and he was upset that his niece worked to reveal the truth to Hope which might create problems for his son's relationship with the woman he wants for him. Hope again apologizes to Liam for being too proud and too selfish. Liam asks why is she doing this now and reminded her how he begged her in the past. He reminds Hope that he lives with Steffy now. He tells Hope to stop and comes to a conclusion that too much has already happened. Liam expresses his hate for Rick and tells Hope that maybe there is a guy out there that will live up to her expectations, but Hope says her expectations have changed and she doesn't want prince charming anymore. She says she will prove to him that they do still have a chance. Liam said that they would go through it if not for Bill and Rick. Hope wants Liam to remind himself all their great moments like the kiss in Cabo. While Hope and Liam talk at Spencer Publications Steffy informs her mother about Hope's new plan of winning Liam back. Steffy calls Liam's work and finds out that Liam talks with his ex fiance. Steffy tells her mom that apparently Hope didn't listen when she told her to respect her relationship with Liam. Liam goes to see his cousin Caroline and the hospital where he meets Rick in. He blames him for his role in an unfixable situation he has put him in and punches him. Meanwhile Steffy goes to talk with Hope at Forrester creations. She reminds Hope that she was the one that told him to move on because she believes the lie. Hope admits that this time Steffy is a victim too, but she wasn't always innocent. Steffy laughs it off. Hope reminds Steffy that her relationship was attacked by Bill and her from the start. Steffy says that she wants her to stay away from Liam. At home Steffy asks Liam why is Liam to upset with Hope's brother. He replies that he made their lives complicated, but Steffy says he didn't make their relationship more complicated. The same time Hope finds out that also Bill manipulated her life in Italy and that almost everyone, but her knew, but they didn't say it to her because Liam and Steffy already re-connected and the situation was complicated. That made Hope only more determinate to fight for Liam. She runs straight to Liam and tells him everything. Liam is devastated that his father lies to him again after manipulating his life so many times in the past. During that time Steffy tells her brother that she thinks that she and Liam are in a place that Hope just can't touch and she's not intimidated by her rival. Liam goes to confront his father and Hope says in the Malibu home.When Steffy gets home she see's that Hope is inside the house that she and Liam share. She is surprised that she see's her there and asks Hope why she is here. Hope told Steffy that now Liam know everything, including his dad's latest scheme. Steffy says she had no involvement in it even if she had her suspicions that Bill did something in Italy. Hope says that she and Liam would be married if not for outside forces and that she believes that one day they will be. Steffy tells Hope again that Liam moved on and this is their home and Hope can't just walk in and tear everything up. When Liam came back home he questioned her why she didn't tell her about her suspicions that Bill is scheming again and she replies by saying she didn't want to ruin their father/son relationship. Steffy informs Liam that her father invited her to Paris and she's going. The two make love. Liam says he will miss her and assures her that he is committed to her. Steffy goes to Forrester Creations before leaving to Paris and takes a pregnancy test. She cries tears of joy when she realized that she's expecting a child with Liam. At that time Hope tells Liam that she's taking him back because they were robbed. Hope says she knows that he cares for Steffy and that she changed for the better, but that doesn't erase what she did in the past and that she is glad that Steffy is on her way to Paris. Steffy starts packing up Steffy's clothers and wants to move her out of Liam's home and says that she is through with being nice. She wants to come back home. Liam tries to stop her, but when Hope screams that she loves him he says that he loves her too and they kiss passionately. They fall on the bed and start kissing on Steffy's clothes that Hope threw all around the bed. They didn't now that before leaving for France Steffy wanted to stop by and inform her boyfriend that she's pregnat. Steffy peeks thought the window and see's Hope and Liam making out on the bed. Steffy is heartbroken and caught off guard, but she decides not to confront them and leaves. At one point Liam stops the kiss and says it's not fair to Steffy. Liam makes it clear that if there is any future for them he needs time. Steffy arrives at FC where Taylor confronts her after finding her pregnancy test. She notices that Steffy is stressed and tries to find out more, but Steffy asks her mother to keep it between them and leaves. Steffy goes on the plane for Paris and cries on her way there. Steffy video calls Liam from Paris and pretends that she didn't see anything just as Liam doesn't tell her what he and Hope did behind her back. Steffy reminded Liam about the complications Hope brought to their relationship and said that manipulations waren't the only reason he and Hope were kept apart. Steffy says that she and him share something that he doesn't share with Hope, but she will give him some time with Hope because he needs to sort it out and get it out of his system. Steffy video chats also with Taylor and explains to her that she doesn't tell Liam about her pregnancy because she wants him to choose her over Hope and not because she's pregnant. With Steffy away Liam and Hope spend a lot of romantic time together. Taylor visits Liam and see's that Hope is with him. Taylor isn't pleased with Hope being there while Steffy is thousands of miles away and Hope asks her if she thinks that Steffy wouldn't do the same thing if the roles were reversed. Taylor is temped to reveal the news about Steffy's pregnancy, but she stays loyal to Steffy and doesn't. She gives Hope hints that there is a reason why Liam will end up with her daughter and she's going to get hurt and encourages her to bow out gracefully. Liam begins being very torn. Steffy comes back from Paris and she tells Liam what she saw before leaving. Liam tells Steffy that she has to move out so he can figure out with whom he should be. Steffy is heartbroken and leaves without telling Liam about their baby that's growing inside of her.

2nd Marriage to Liam[]

Steffy and Hope have a heated argument. When Steffy started yelling and insulting Hope's mother the Logan girl not knowing that Steffy is pregnant pushes her and she falls on the desk. Steffy and Taylor went to the sonogram and heard that fortunately Steffy's baby is unharmed. Brooke organizes a surprise wedding for Hope and Liam in Malibu to rush Liam's decision. She brings the priest from Puglia to re-create the Italian wedding Hope and Liam had in Polignano a mare. Liam is caught off guard, but decides to put a ring on Hope's finger and commit to her. Steffy and Taylor found out about Brooke's plans to marry Hope and Liam. Steffy changed plans and doesn't want to wait for Liam to make a decision without knowing about their child. She and Taylor go to Malibu and stop the wedding second before Hope and Liam would become husband and wife. Steffy whispered in Liam's ear that she's pregnant. Once Liam heard that Steffy is pregnant he told Hope that he won't take a possibility of a full family from his child. Soon after he and married Steffy in Eric's mansion. Steffy shocked the wedding guests by riding up the aisle on a motorcycle, wearing a black dress/suit ensemble that she had gotten Eric to design. Liam surprised her by having her "all-time favorite" singer, Julia Michaels, perform at the reception. Steffy then correctly guessed that Liam had arranged for their honeymoon to be in Aspen, and she and Liam even considered naming their child Aspen in honor of their favorite place. Steffy and Liam were very happy thinking about the future that they will have with their baby.

Tragic Miscarriage[]

Liam and Steffy gleefully bought baby clothes and picked out colors for the nursery. She then paid a visit to Thomas, who had moved into Taylor's old beach house with Oliver. Steffy told Thomas how happy she and Liam were, unaware that a tearful Hope was within earshot. She empathized with Hope and was so moved when Hope broke down and admitted she was happy for Steffy that she hugged her rival. Not wanting to keep Liam waiting, Steffy decided to dodge a traffic jam by riding her motorcycle home though she had promised Liam she wouldn't ride while pregnant. A car darted in front of her which caused her to wipe out. Having suffered another concussion (on top of the concussions she'd had before), Steffy didn't remember being pregnant. But with Liam's coaching, she put the pieces together and was horrified to learn she had lost their baby. As Steffy slid into a deep depression, Taylor begged her not to blame herself for riding the motorcycle. She took a baseball bat to the bike and latched on immediately when Taylor suggested that Steffy and Liam have another baby. What Steffy and Taylor don't know is that Liam is secretly furious with Steffy because before the accident that caused the death of baby Aspen he specifically told Steffy to not ride the motorcycle. Bill encourages Liam to scream at him and pretend that he is Steffy because he can take it and she won't be able. Liam also reveals to his father that he has thought about leaving steffy because of Hope and if not for the pregnancy he would marry her that day in Malibu when Brooke organized the surprise wedding. Liam didn't openly say "no" to the suggestion that he and Steffy should have another baby, but he complained to Hope that he is not ready for it. Hope expressed that she thinks that maybe the miscarriage was meant to be and encouraged Liam to go back to her. Despite everything Liam continued to support his grieving wife.

Infertility and moving to Paris[]

One day Katie Logan, Hope's aunt told Steffy that Liam was about to marry Hope and got married to her only because of the pregnancy. Steffy gets upset and passes out. Katie takes her to the hospital where Steffy hears that she's infertile. Steffy was told a botched D&C procedure had rendered her unable to have more children. She refused to tell Liam about her infertility and swore Katie to secrecy. After spending the night alone in her loft to think, Steffy announced she was moving to Paris and told Liam she wanted a divorce, cryptically insisting that Hope could give him something she couldn't. . Liam is confused. Hope is there and even though Liam considers a future with her he still wants to go to Steffy to get anwsers. In Paris, Steffy ignored Liam's voice mails and texts and was surprised weeks later when Liam showed up on her doorstep wanting answers. Steffy eventually broke down and admitted she couldn't conceive again, but rejected Liam's suggestions of adoption or surrogacy. Steffy stood her ground about him returning to Hope. As Liam left, Steffy thought better of it and tried to catch him in the hallway, but she was too late.

Later, she notified Liam by e-mail that she would only accept a divorce and not an annulment, meaning Liam (who had moved on with Hope) would have to wait six months before marrying her. Steffy continued to communicate with Liam, ultimately changing her mind and agreeing to his request for an annulment so he could wed Hope. Liam was over the moon when he received the annulment papers from Steffy because he was in a rush to marry Hope and the reason was because his new-found biological brother Wyatt Spencer became a rival for Hope's heart.

Liam, wanting to impress Hope created a romantic video using their photos. He was horrified when he realized that by mistake he sent it to Steffy. Steffy asked if he could make a romantic video for them too. Liam decided to accept his ex wife's request and made a video for Steffy as well. Hope accidentally saw it which opened a can of worms and brought an opportunity for Wyatt to steal Hope away.

Steffy's Procedures and Quinn's support[]

Steffy returned to L.A. for a doctors appointment and came to see her grandfather Eric again where she met Quinn. Quinn gets a smile to see Steffy. While Steffy was getting on her plane to fly back to Paris, Quinn told Eric she'd meet at Forrester International in Paris and catch the flight with Steffy. Quinn arrives on the jet and convinces Steffy to break up Hope and Liam. Quinn continues to persuade Steffy to go back to Los Angeles and reunite with Liam so Hope can be with Wyatt, but Steffy shows no interest of going back and Quinn is told of how Steffy tragically miscarried Liam's child after a motorcycle accident. Once settled in at Forrester International, Quinn overhears Steffy on the phone with Dr. Caspary in which she informs Steffy that after several medical procedures is finally able to conceive a child to full term. Quinn again tries to convince Steffy that she should go back and reunite with Liam as well as deliver the news that she is able to conceive again. Steffy once again shows no interest of going back to Los Angeles, but can't hide her feelings she still has for Liam. Liam also gave Hope an ultimatum and she chose to be with Liam and Liam made her cut ties with Wyatt and Quinn from Forrester. Eric disagreed with this after Quinn put her spin on the whole situation.

Quinn convinces Steffy to go back to L.A. and to meet with Liam in the cabin. Quinn leaves a note in Hope's bedroom before her wedding with Liam that Liam wanted her to meet him in the cabin despite tradition. Steffy backed away when Liam saw her through the window and he brought her in to talk. Steffy told Liam the great news in which he was happy for her. Hope trailed down and saw them talking and called off the wedding running off. Hope flew to Hawaii with Wyatt and rehired Quinn Artisans Jewelry. Hope remained loyal to Wyatt and Steffy flew back to Paris. Ridge and R.J. then moved back to L.A. shortly after. Hope later marries Wyatt in Milan, when Hope was supposed to marry Liam in Paris, but Quinn pushed Ivy Forrester into the Seine, forcing Liam to save her, and be too late in meeting Hope. Hope miscarried Wyatt's baby and said goodbye to Liam & telling him she would always love him & explaining she was not being able to stay in LA because of all the pain she had incurred there especially the miscarriage so she left for Milan to be with Brooke, and Wyatt later did the same but Hope told him to go back to LA which he did. Liam shortly thereafter started a relationship with Ivy.

Return to L.A. and Feud over control of Forrester Creations[]

Forrester Creations was at war with Rick as CEO after Caroline and Ridge's affair. Liam told Bill he wants to take over Forrester Creations. Bill asked Liam how is he going to do that and Liam stated he was married to her. Bill was thrilled Liam wanted to use Steffy and Liam stated she's in L.A. because he followed her online post. Liam called Steffy and explained he wanted to meet with her and Steffy stated at his house. Steffy appeared at Liam's remembering all the great memories they've shared. Steffy asked if he missed her and he stated how could he. Liam asked Steffy if her and Ridge are still talking and she didn't reply but stated she talked to Hope. Liam asked how she was and Steffy stated some topics don't come up. Steffy then stated she never replaced that motorcycle. Liam and Steffy continued to talk and laugh. Liam explained he wants to take over Forrester Creations with her. Bill owns part of the company and Steffy and Thomas own a part that combined equals 30%. Liam told Steffy together they can take over Forrester Creations. Steffy was hesitant. Steffy and Liam reminisced about all their memories and hugged on the couch when Ivy came home from shopping. Ivy was a bit jealous and Steffy excitedly greeted Ivy who was equally happy to see her. Before Steffy left, Liam told her to keep it in mind which she agreed to. Liam and Bill got Wyatt in on the plan but were shocked he quit after Rick gave him attitude. Liam and Bill explained the plan and made Wyatt ask Rick for his job back. Steffy told Liam she couldn't do it. Liam convinced her she's strong, and independent, and a fighter! Steffy admit she can't come to work seeing him every day with Ivy, and he's doing this for Ivy not her! Steffy admit she's still in love with him! Liam stated he's moved on to Ivy and Steffy refused to go through with it. Liam told Ivy about the plan and the fact that Steffy's still in love with him. Ivy supported the plan. Liam told Bill that Ivy's on the plan and Bill got enraged that Liam tell another Forrester. Ivy told Steffy she supports the plan and wants her to control Forrester Creations. Steffy stated her father might still want to run the company and Caroline and Ridge might even be enough to motivate her. Ivy asked if there was another roadblock. Steffy stated the fact that she's still in love with Liam. Steffy stated all their history and she left after the miscarriage. Steffy insisted if she comes back, she comes back to it all. Steffy then congratulated Rick on his CEO position. Bill convinced Liam to dump the plant and go back to Steffy, the woman he was always meant to be with. Steffy then warned him she likes that chair.

After Ivy left Liam's beach house, he called Steffy to meet him there. Steffy arrived at Liam's in a skimpy bikini and a towel around her waist which she took off. Liam was very attracted and Steffy stated she misses LA'S water so much. Paris only has one river, which nobody swims in, well except for Ivy. Steffy kept trying to convince Liam to go swimming in the ocean even when Liam stated how cold the temperature was but they decided to go have fun. They came back from their swim, Liam stated how much he misses her, and Steffy kissed Liam. Steffy explained if he wants to run Forrester with her, they have to be lovers. Liam tried explaining to Steffy he's in love with her cousin. Steffy explained she can't do this without their relationship and Liam stated any man would want to be with her. Steffy kissed Liam on the couch and then laid him down and made out with him on top of him when Ivy arrived in the doorway. Ivy hid to the side and eavesdropped. Liam turned her down because of Ivy. Steffy was adamant about the deal but Liam stated they can do this another way. Ivy talked to Liam about what she overheard and Liam stated he loves her. Ivy had words with Steffy. Steffy explaining she and Liam have history, and Ivy explaining she thought Steffy would be a fun person to hang out with coming back to L.A., but this was unbelievable. Ridge tells Steffy that Liam told him the plan about Forrester. Liam told Ridge that Bill would sell his shares to him, so Bill would have no part of the company. Ridge stated Steffy still loves Liam and she admit she does. Ridge's main concern was the plan would be putting Eric out of business. Steffy stated it's the only thing to do with Rick. ridge stated Eric loved him and treated him just like a son. Steffy stated Eric is favoring his brother now. Steffy was explaining to Ridge in his apartment that she is leaving for Paris, at least for now, when Caroline arrived home. Before Steffy left back for Paris, she civilly said goodbye to Ridge and Caroline.

After Eric wouldn't appoint Ridge as CEO, Ridge called Steffy on the phone to meet him at Forrester. Steffy arrived informed that Maya is transgender and Eric won't remove Rick as CEO. Ridge insisted he needed Steffy and him to be a team to take over Forrester and she agreed. Ridge insisted this is bigger than her getting Liam back and him getting CEO. Rick arrived in his office giving them a hard time. Ridge called Liam to meet him at Forrester. Liam was happy to see Steffy and she was also pleased. Ridge convinced Liam to use Steffy's, Thomas's, Bill's controlled by Liam, and Thomas's to overpower Eric. Steffy stated there are no conditions this time. Liam agreed and Ridge insisted to Eric that they're taking over while Eric insisted he's in charge which Ridge stated he's in charge now. Ridge was the new CEO, with Steffy president, and Liam vice president, which he is also at Spencer's. Steffy and Liam agreed they would make a great team. Liam stated Steffy's change like a cool mountain stream. They remembered their time in Aspen by a stream. Steffy stated she is not afraid to state that she loves him and will always love him with Ivy overhearing.

Rick and Eric were getting nervous that Steffy, Ridge, and Liam were going to use Ridge's, Steffy's, Thomas's, and Bill's shares to take over Forrester Creations. Rick came to Bill to make a business proposition. Rick tried convincing Bill to use his shares to his and Eric's advantage and he'll have more control around the company. In the middle of the meeting in Rick's office, Bill barged in explaining their deal and his predicament. Bill explained he doesn't like the way Ridge treats him. Bill asked Ridge and Rick to convince him why he should take their side. Bill commended Liam for protecting Caroline and Ivy. Ultimately, Bill chose to side with Rick under one condition, Maya, the face of Forrester Creations, has to go. Rick punched Bill and withdrew from the deal. Ridge became the new CEO with Steffy president and Liam vice president. Steffy and Liam were congratulating with champagne when Aly Forrester saw Steffy kiss Liam. Aly came by to confront Steffy about throwing herself at Liam. Steffy claimed it was a congratulatory kiss. Aly warned Steffy to leave Ivy and Liam's relationship alone. Aly claimed Ivy is a good model for Forrester Creations with morals. Meanwhile, Ivy told Liam she was encouraging Wyatt to ask Steffy out. Wyatt stated any man would fall in love with Steffy because she's incredibly intelligent and beautiful.

Wyatt was friendly with Steffy that they're both trying to get over similar situations. Wyatt started flirting with Steffy stating she's beautiful and intelligent and she should give him a chance. Wyatt kissed Steffy. Wyatt insisted he doesn't play second to his brother.

Quinn questions his love life and mentions Hope and Maya's little sister went south. Wyatt explained Nicole was fun but there might be a new woman in his life. Quinn was asking questions. Wyatt turned Steffy's picture around on Ridge's desk. Quinn was shocked but then stated "She's so hot!" Wyatt explained he told her to give them a chance, right after he kissed her.

Steffy stopped over at Liam's and explained that there might be another man in her life. Liam was bothered by this and asked who and Steffy stated he works at Forrester and has his last name. Liam was upset that out of all people it was Wyatt. Steffy stated that Wyatt kissed her and she just enjoyed it. Steffy stated there's only one person she wants to kiss, if he still wants her. Liam admit he has been feeling those feelings about Steffy again. Ivy walked in eavesdropping hearing Liam tell Steffy he'll help Ivy understand over dinner tonight. Ivy was heartbroken and ran out crying. Quinn convinced Ivy to ask Liam to marry her so she won't be deported. Liam told Ivy he wants to help her understand something but Ivy stated she already knows. Liam wants Steffy back and Ivy mentioned she's being deported. Liam was shocked and angered. Ivy informed him that her father filled out the paperwork incorrectly. She has a week to pack her bags for Australia. And she'd have to register for another passport which could take months or years if that. Liam stated he wished there was another way and Ivy stated maybe there is. Ivy asked him to marry her, to which he agreed. They were married on June 16, 2015. However, when Steffy found out about the marriage, she was furious because she felt that Liam had created a situation where they could never be together. Steffy said she's done with Liam because she won't share him with another woman again, especially not his wife! Steffy was enraged and rushed to the Forrester rooftop lounge where Wyatt comforted her and kissed her.

Agent McCaffrey returned to Liam and Ivy's to inform Ivy that they made a mistake. Ivy does indeed have dual citizenship, married to Liam or not. Ivy was worried about telling Liam he doesn't have to be married to her because of his feelings for Steffy. Quinn convinced Ivy not to tell him since he married her because he loves her. Ivy stated he doesn't love her the same way he loves Steffy. Ivy explained to Liam that he didn't have to marry her, she always had dual citizenship, and they made a huge mistake. Liam hugged Ivy. Liam rushed to Steffy with the information. Steffy didn't want him to explain anything at first but after he did she had mixed feelings. She was still mad that he married her in the first place. Ivy confronted Liam when Steffy questioned his intentions. Liam admits to Ivy he wants an annulment. Ivy explained she understands that they have history and she can't compete with memories. Steffy explained to Liam if he still feels anything for Ivy, she won't do this again.

Ivy confided in Aly who was uninformed about the surprise wedding. Aly went to confront Steffy who was having Liam feel her lingerie for the line. Aly snapped at Steffy claiming they replaced a tyrant with a slut. Liam stated Aly's out of line but Aly kept trying to convince Liam that he can't do this to Ivy and he married her because he loves her. Liam stated Aly's out of line. Liam left and Steffy changed back into her dress. Aly wouldn't drop it and Steffy mentioned Aly's "issues". Aly stated he issue is that Steffy's mother killed her mother. Steffy was shocked and stated Aly forgave her mother because she was there. Aly stated she was persuaded to say the words but she could never forgive Taylor for killing her mother. Steffy took the situation delicately and explained it was an accident. Aly blasted both of them by saying Taylor and Steffy are both sluts and use their sexuality to get whatever they want. As Steffy was trying to help Aly, Aly envisioned Aly saying the words "drunken mother" and "get rid of her". Steffy tried snapping Aly out of it. Steffy just figured they should stay away from each other. As Steffy was trying to work things out with Aly, Ridge stopped in to mention the meeting is in ten minutes. Aly asked if she could come and Ridge allowed her to. Ridge announced that Hope For The Future is over which offended Aly. Ridge announced to everybody the new line "California Freedom" which uses a lot of the morals and dignity of Hope For The Future but encourages women to be free with lines including lingerie and swimwear. Aly stated she'd expect this from Steffy but not Ridge. Aly asked if Steffy was going to model for the lingerie and Aly snapped at ridge for letting his daughter being viewed in underwear. Aly went off about the morals that her grandmother and grandfather instilled in this company and how they're being forgotten. Everybody else agreed it was a good idea and tried to placate Aly. Aly ended the meeting with irrelevantly bashing Steffy for killing Darla. Steffy tried to get through to Aly once again.

At the Forrester's Fourth of July party, Aly became hateful of Steffy and Maya for wearing bathing suits. Aly snapped at Oliver for allegedly checking out Steffy's body. Aly saw Darla tell Aly to get rid of Steffy again and her glow darkened into a sadistic looking dark glow. Aly snapped at Steffy for exploiting her sexuality in a public place. Steffy stated people wear bathing suits and their dad's grew up here, it's not even public. Steffy took Liam for a surprise. They left the mansion to run outside where Steffy held a message session. When Liam's head was down, Steffy got up and pretended to be the masseuse and felt lower and lower down his back and grabbed his butt cheeks much to his surprise and admitted liking. Steffy flirted, saying she hoped he was ok with a little pressure and kissed him. As they walked around, Liam stated he's still trying to sort out his feelings but his feelings for Steffy are coming back. Steffy licked her lips, saying they belonged together and pressed her large lips against him in a hungry kiss. Ivy asked Liam to schedule a date for them some time, just do nothing and be very boring, nothing special. Liam stated he would like that.

Caroline, Ridge, Steffy, Rick and Maya held another meeting for Forrester's new line, California Freedom which Aly attended. Aly was being very hostile towards Steffy and Maya for embracing their sexuality the way Maya and Rick treated her and upset that Ridge allowed a new line involving lingerie and swimsuits. Maya genuinely apologized for the past. Aly stated "No wonder. Maya doesn't want to talk about the past." Steffy stated if she's just going to criticize everything, maybe she should just go back to Thorne in Paris. Steffy told Aly "You're my cousin, and I love you, but why would we want you to stay?" Aly stated "Uncle Ridge said I could stay." Ridge explained he said she can stay if she behaved. Aly got teary eyed and stated if she feels something's wrong, she has to speak out and she wants to help with the shoe line. Ridge stated "Then you know what you have to do."

Attacked by Aly and Aly's Death[]

Aly watches the California Freedom fashion show in disgust of the transgendered women and the loose clothing. Steffy tries being nice to Aly and involving her but Aly is trying to hold back her hatred. Steffy tries to involve Aly by asking her to have a drink with Wyatt, Ivy, Liam, and her but Aly states she's not 21 yet. Steffy said she's sorry that she forgot but she tried. Darla appeared bashing Steffy and Taylor for alcohol and telling Aly she's glad she didn't accept and give in. Darla convinces Aly that she has to end this tonight.

Aly pops Steffy's tires to her car and lurks behind. At the after party, Ivy goes up to Aly's room to find her and is shocked to find the collage on Steffy and Maya pictures crossed out and scribbled on. Ivy shows Wyatt and Liam who are worried. Steffy gets in her car to go to the Forrester after party as Aly drives behind her and follows after. Steffy's car hits a flat and she can't believe it. Steffy gets out and gets her tire iron from her trunk and starts cranking at the tire. Aly is watching with her car parked behind her. Aly keeps hearing Darla's voice and has flashbacks of the accident. Aly pulls forward and drives close up to Steffy and Steffy yells in fear. Aly stops the car right in front of her. Steffy is scared and yells at her. Steffy pulls Aly out of her car and the two argue. Steffy realizes Aly was the one who popped her tire. Liam calls Steffy but her phone's in the car. Aly takes the tire iron and swings at Steffy who dodges the swings and tries to placate Aly. Steffy grabbed the tire iron from Aly. Steffy and Aly both fell to the ground. Aly picked up a rock and attempted to kill Steffy. Ivy was pulling up in her car and was shocked to see Aly and Steffy. As Aly tried to bash Steffy with the rock, Steffy swung the tire iron at Aly causing her to stumble and hit her head on a rock, rendering her seemingly unconscious. In shock, Steffy threw the tire iron away. Steffy cried of sorrow and Ivy came out of her car and cried and Steffy explains what happened and that Aly attacked her. The paramedics came and tried to revive Aly and presumed her dead when she had no pulse. Steffy told the police that Aly slipped and fell on a rock.

Steffy staggers into the Forrester Mansion very devastated. Liam rushes to her and comforted her. Steffy explains how her tires popped and she had to fix them with a tire iron and a car drives towards her and stops inches away. Liam asks what crazy idiot would do that. Steffy states it was Aly. Steffy informs him how she pulled Aly out of the car and Aly attacked her and she slipped and fell and died. Thorne comes downstairs, explaining he found out about the pictures and explains Aly's anger and hatred but she can be a good, happy person. Thorne asks where his daughter is. Steffy explains Aly tried to hit her with her car and attacked her. Thorne claims Aly isn't dangerous and didn't want to hear it. Thorne asks where she is and Steffy stated "She's gone". Thorne is devastated and leaves to find Aly.

Steffy feels guilty the day of Aly's funeral but Liam comforts her and the two show up at the funeral which her brother, Thomas, returns to L.A. for, but he couldn't get in contact with Steffy yet. After the members left, Ivy confronts Steffy about what really happened that night. Ivy believes Aly didn't just slip and fall and die. Steffy was upset for getting accused of something and explains she doesn't need to explain herself to anyone. Liam had a minute with Ivy and broke up with her at Aly's funeral which greatly upset her while Wyatt had a second with Steffy to guess that Liam's dropping the bomb on Ivy right now. Ivy had the video recording of Steffy hitting Aly with a tire iron but Wyatt convinced Ivy to keep it a secret. Ivy was still shaken up by this and Wyatt kissed her to distract her from her distress by Aly's death and Liam dropping her for Steffy. Liam continues to assure Steffy she has nothing to feel guilty about and that it's not her fault. Steffy and Liam slept in Liam's bed although Steffy still carries the guilt.

Thomas reunites with Steffy to comfort her. Steffy explains the details of what happened the night Aly died. Steffy admits to only Thomas that she remembers hitting Aly with a tire iron and that Aly didn't slip and fall. Steffy feels extremely guilty and Thomas assures her it's not her fault. Steffy thinks about telling the police but Thomas insists she keeps it a secret since she's not guilty and if she changes her story, she'll get arrested. Steffy admits to Thomas that Ivy witnessed the accident and she's been acting weird ever since. Thomas insists on confronting Ivy.

Ivy's blackmail and Steffy's guilt[]

At Forrester Creations, Liam supports Steffy, who is upset about the situation with Eric. She gets to thinking, and they start searching for the marriage certificate. Once they find it in an envelope, Steffy is surprised that Eric didn't sign the marriage license. Steffy tells Liam that Ridge is on his way. Quinn may not be Mrs. Forrester after all. In the hall, Carter chats with Pam about the stress of waiting. Carter is concerned that things are going to get more difficult, before they get better. In the office, Ridge arrives and Steffy shows him the unsigned, non filed marriage certificate. Liam pipes up, “Legally speaking, Quinn can’t be Mrs. Eric Forrester.” Ridge notes that he has Eric’s power-of-attorney, and with this news, he can make sure Quinn doesn’t hurt the company or family. Once alone, Liam and Steffy speculate on what Ridge will do next. Liam reflects on the misery Quinn has caused and they embrace.

Steffy explains that Thomas hasn't been in L.A. because he was in New York with Caroline. Thomas explains he was trying to raise a family with Caroline which didn't work out, resulting in his return.

Feud with Sally Spectra[]

Knowing Liam was becoming increasingly frustrated over Eric and Quinn pushing Wyatt on her, Steffy finally got her divorce from Wyatt, only to learn Liam had headed to the airport. Steffy stopped Liam from getting on a plane with her divorce news and happily accepted Liam's proposal. Steffy was intrigued by Ivy's suggestion that she and Liam marry in Australia in a double wedding with Ridge and Brooke, but butted heads with Rick and Thomas after she was asked to split her CEO duties with Ridge instead of one of them.

Steffy made an instant enemy in fledgling designer Sally Spectra, the namesake grandniece of infamous knockoff queen Sally Spectra. Goaded into a public food fight with Sally, Steffy was furious to learn that Sally, who was planning her first showing, had staged the altercation and uploaded a viral video of it to piggyback on Steffy's social media presence. Catching Sally masquerading as a caterer at the wedding of her cousin Zende Forrester Dominguez, Steffy got back at Sally by shoving her face into a cake but was further annoyed when that contretemps ended up online, too.

Wedding in Australia[]

With Ivy's help, Steffy zip-lined into her wedding Down Under and exchanged vows with Liam. Steffy was shocked to see that Thomas had invited Sally as his date; Steffy's argument with Sally during her beach reception ended with Sally falling into the water. Steffy stayed behind in Australia after the family went home and honeymooned with Liam. Steffy was furious when Sally stole Forrester designs by planting cameras in the jewelry of her sister, Forrester intern Coco Spectra; Steffy felt for Coco, but insisted that Sally be arrested.

After Thomas saved Sally from a prison sentence, Steffy was secretly relieved. Steffy felt conflicted when Liam discovered that Sally had only stolen from Forrester because Bill sabotaged her with a bad review of her original work, wanting to demolish Spectra and put up a skyscraper; Steffy ultimately told Thomas but had mixed feelings when Ridge fired Thomas for investing $100,000 in Spectra Fashions to stop Bill. Steffy also had her hands full with Zende, who felt snubbed when Steffy and Ridge informed the novice designer they didn't have time to train him; Steffy agreed to give Zende a shot in Thomas' absence, but asked Eric to intervene on Thomas' behalf. Steffy was thunderstruck when Thomas defected to Spectra and became its lead designer; Steffy wasted no time letting Sally know she thought Sally was only using Thomas to breathe new life into Spectra.

Steffy was pleasantly surprised when Katie joined Forrester in PR and suggested they mount a swimsuit fashion show at the Spencer Summit in Monte Carlo. But it was game on for Steffy when Thomas and Sally decided Spectra needed to get in on the event; Steffy vowed to best Spectra and modeled for a calendar teasing the showing. Still disapproving of Thomas' relationship with Sally, Steffy brought Thomas' ex-love and mother of his child, Caroline Spencer back from New York to lure him away from Sally.

Steffy became concerned when Eric took off after a fight with Quinn; learning that Eric was with Sheila Carter, his notorious criminal ex-wife who was responsible for Taylor's near-death, Steffy grabbed an old gun of Stephanie's and got Liam to track Eric's phone. Having been told by Quinn that Sheila might have a gun in her purse, Steffy shot Sheila when she thought Sheila was reaching for it, not knowing Sheila was trying to produce the electric razor Eric had sent her for. Steffy apologized for grazing Sheila's arm and was surprised when Sheila helped them lie to authorities about what went on. Steffy fumed when she learned the reason Eric was holed up in a hotel was because Ridge and Quinn had kissed on several occasions, blasting them both.

Steffy flew to Monte Carlo and declared the Forrester/Spectra swimsuit fashion duel was on, grudgingly admitting that Thomas and Sally had produced good designs. Spectra won the duel by popular vote, but Bill decided to call it a tie out of bitterness against Spectra. Steffy couldn't help being pleased when Thomas suddenly ditched Sally and moved back to New York with Caroline; however, Steffy was horrified when Liam revealed that Thomas had only done so because Bill had lied that Caroline was dying, even though she knew of Bill's plan beforehand. But yet both Liam and Steffy kept the secret and told no one about it.

Liam cheating by kissing Sally and Steffy cheating by sleeping with his father, Bill, behind Liam's back[]

Steffy convinced Liam to keep quiet, but felt bad for Sally when Spectra Fashions burned down. Steffy blanched when she learned from Liam that Bill had arranged the Spectra fire, and disapproved when Liam secretly recorded Bill's confession and used it to wrest control of Spectra Fashions from him. Steffy tried and failed to broker peace between Liam and Bill, lending Bill her support and spending more time with him when his new wife Brooke walked out on him.

Steffy objected when Liam took part in a sit-in with the Spectras to keep Bill from destroying Spectra Fashions, but risked her own life searching through the rubble when Bill unknowingly blew up the building with Liam and Sally inside; Steffy even pulled Sally from the wreckage first. Yet Steffy walked out on Liam when she discovered he had kissed Sally while trapped. Taking refuge at the Forrester guest house, Steffy let Bill in and ended up making love to him.

Steffy is shocked to see how big Kelly is after losing a big part of her memory

After overhearing Thomas on the phone a couple of times, Steffy becomes very suspicious of him & what he is hiding. After asking him about it and him denying that there was anything wrong, she follows him and ends up seeing him in an alley, in an intense conversation with none other, than Sheila. Steffy goes home and shares this with Finn immediately afterwards. Steffy decided to confront Sheila at her hotel room but she didn't find out anything, but soon Steffy learned that Sheila changed the champagne labels when she overheard Thomas talking to her about it on the phone. Steffy called Sheila and decided to talk with her. The two women met at il Giardino. After Steffy told Sheila once more that she will never be a part of her family and revealed that she knows about her manipulating Brooke's life, Sheila pulled out a gun and was about to shoot Steffy. Finn was worried that Steffy wasn't answering his calls and pinged her phone to see where she was and left work and went to il Giardino himself. He walked in just as Sheila was about to pull the trigger with her gun and he took the bullet for her. Sheila was horrified that she shot her own son. Finn opened his eyes for a moment and told Steffy that he loves her and also mentioned Hayes and then he closed his eyes again. Steffy started screaming and crying and wanted to call 911, but Sheila demanded from Steffy to put the phone down. In the end she decided to shoot Steffy also and then she stole their rings, wallets, and a few other things so it would look like a robbery. She left the two in the alley where Deacon Sharpe found them and called for help. After the paramedics get there, they tell Deacon that Finn didn't make it and he calls Ridge and tells him that Steffy and Finn have been shot and that Finn died. They take Steffy to the hospital and Bridget tells her parents, Ridge and Taylor and her brother Thomas, that she has been shot in the chest and is in critical condition. They gather by her bedside and beg her to fight and tell her that they love her. Soon after, Liam, Hope and Brooke come to the hospital as well. Sheila was also there and she was afraid that Steffy would wake up and tell everyone that she killed Finn and shot her. Tormented with guilt Sheila tried to take her own life by jumping of the roof, but Taylor stopped her. While Taylor was preventing Sheila from falling, she herself slipped and almost died. Sheila pulled her up and a grateful Taylor embraced Sheila and told Ridge about Sheila saving her life. Taylor even called Sheila one of them not knowing that Sheila almost killed her daughter and did kill her own son and Steffy's husband, Finn. When Steffy woke up everyone was overjoyed, but Sheila wasn't. Ridge asked Steffy who did this to her, but Steffy didn't remember. Sheila advised Ridge to not push Steffy for answers, all the while pretending that she's worried for Steffy's health. When Steffy saw Liam, she got emotional and started calling him her husband. When Liam informed everyone about Steffy's amnesia, Taylor and Bridget didn't recommend Liam telling Steffy the truth right away, much to Hope and Brooke's displeasure. During a conversation with Liam, Steffy remembered Kelly and said she wanted to go home to her. Liam was worried when he realized that Steffy does not remember her son Hayes. Steffy asked to see Kelly so after a conversation with Hope, Liam went to get her. When Hope went inside her room, Steffy was susprised because they didn't always get along. Hope asked Steffy if she remembers anything about the night she was shot or anything before it happened. Steffy said she remembers her home and her family with Liam and Kelly. Hope replied that her family is so much bigger and they will all support her. When Liam arrived with Kelly, Steffy was surprised by how big Kelly was. Steffy told Hope, she wanted some time alone with her daughter and husband. When Hope left Steffy's hospital room, Steffy told them that she loved them as Hope watched them from behind the door. Sheila, being scared that Steffy will remember, she tried to mess with her medical equipment when Taylor walked into the room and made Sheila's attempt to murder Steffy, impossible. Steffy was again questioned, this time by detective Bradley Baker, but she wasn't able to remember anything.

Bridget told Liam, Hope, Brooke, Thomas and Ridge that Steffy's test results are good enough for her to hear the truth. Liam, Ridge, Thomas, Taylor and Sheila gathered around Steffy. Liam revealed that he is not her husband and that she has a child with Finn, her husband. Steffy got emotional when she remembered Finn and Hayes. She wanted to see them and asked where Finn is. When she heard that her husband was dead, she was shocked and cried. When Steffy was sleeping, Sheila again came to her room and thought about killing her or messing with her medication because either way, her problem would be solved. Liam felt that something was off and he entered Steffy's room. When he saw Sheila he confronted her about being there. Sheila was angry because she was again stopped from killing/harming Steffy.

Steffy went home after Bridget said that there was no need for her to stay at the hospital. She was happy to be reunited with her children, but still sad about Finn being gone. She looked at Finn's photos and cried. Kelly called Liam and asked him to come over. When Liam came to the cliff house, after Kelly went to bed, Steffy begged him to not leave her alone for the night because it's her first night without Finn and she doesn't want to be alone. Liam agreed to stay with his ex wife which made Hope, his current wife very uncomfortable.

Remembering Sheila shot her and Finn[]

Sheila arrived at the cliff house and convinced Taylor to let her in using her grief over her son and wanting to see her grandson Hayes as an excuse. When Steffy saw Sheila, she became very irritated and nervous. While arguing with Sheila, Steffy's memory about the shooting started to come back to her. While she was still grappling with her memory, her father, Ridge came in to see Steffy, and he grew concerned about what was going on with her and especially after being told that Sheila had just left the cliff house. Finally Steffy started remembering more vividly. She then realized that Sheila was the one who shot her and killed her own son and her husband when he jumped in front of her to protect her from Sheila. After telling her parents about what she remembered, she asked them to get Sheila to come over. Taylor called Sheila and she came over thinking that she got a new chance to be in her grandson's life, but instead she was confronted by Steffy, Taylor and Ridge about what she has done. At first Sheila tried to pretend that she's innocent, but soon she confessed and tried to blame Steffy for Finn's death. She also confessed that she was the one that caused Brooke Logan's relapse and that Thomas Forrester knew about it. Taylor didn't want to believe that her son kept a secret from them, but Steffy confirmed that she remembers that too. What Sheila didn't know is that the police was listening to her confession the whole time. She has been captured and taken to jail. Steffy was satisfied to see Sheila being dragged away by the police, but she had a very hard time coping with her husband's death and she wanted to celebrate Finn's life by organizing a memorial service for him. Steffy invited Finn's adoptive mother Li Finnegan over but she didn't want to hear about organizing a memorial service for Finn and didn't tell Steffy where Finn's ashes are. Steffy was even more heartbroken when Li brushed her off. Steffy's mother told her that she should take her children and travel as it might help her to grieve far away from all the painful memories. Steffy was torn because to her it felt like leaving Finn, but eventually she decided to take Kelly and Hayes to France.

Reunion with Finn[]

Steffy traveled from Paris to Monaco where she searched for professional help. She couldn't handle the pain of losing Finn and admitted herself into a special facility specialized in helping people that are going through grief. When Taylor and Ridge found out, they decided to travel to Monaco and help Steffy. When they arrived in Monaco, they couldn't find Steffy and then they heard from the facility worker that Steffy went for a long walk. While they were waiting for Steffy, they received a call from Finn and were shocked to learn that he was alive. Finn arrived at the facility and reunited with his in laws, his son and step daughter. Steffy has no idea what was happening and she kept walking around the streets of Monaco. She was looking depressed and one woman advised her to visit the church so Steffy went there and burned a candle in Finn's memory. When she walked out of the church, Finn noticed her and called out to her. Steffy couldn't believe her eyes and they both started running towards each other. After their happy reunion, they went to celebrate Finn's return together with Steffy's parents and their children. Once in LA, Finn and Steffy were ecstatic to have their happy family life back however Steffy felt angry when she heard that Finn's adoptive mom Li Finnegan was hiding Finn from her all along. She confronted her mother in law, but Li refused to apologize and said that Finn was her only concern and that he was okay until he got to know her and the Forresters which basically brought Sheila Carter back to his life.

War with the Logans continues[]

Steffy knew that her parents shared a kiss in Monaco and she encouraged her parents to get back together, saying that it's obvious that they are still in love. Steffy didn't only want her father back with her mother, but also her nephew Douglas Forrester to be back with her brother Thomas Forrester on a full time basis so when she heard that Thomas wanted him back, she decided to take his side and she made it very clear to Hope where she stands. In Steffy's opinion, Hope had Douglas under her care long enough and despite her brother's troubled past and the abuse he put his son through, in her opinion, he was a changed man. Steffy wasn't the only person that believed it, as her mother Taylor Hayes did also and she encouraged Thomas to take Douglas back even before he came to this conclusion. Ridge also agreed with them which put him in a tough spot with his wife Brooke Logan Forrester. Steffy, Finn, Ridge, Thomas and Douglas all gathered in Eric Forreste's home to celebrate their Forrester legacy and Finn's return. Shortly after Steffy wanted to see her family back at her grandfather's mansion, but she wasn't pleased when she saw that Hope Logan also came by and she made it obvious that she's not happy about it. Steffy continued encouraging her mother to fight for Ridge and also encouraging her father to go back to Taylor. At one of their family gatherings, this time at Steffy's house, Steffy noticed that Brooke is calling Ridge so she secretly picked up the phone and wouldn't put her father on the phone and told Brooke that she won't be married to Ridge for long and that she can see how much her dad loves her mother. After that Steffy hung up on a shocked Brooke. Hope confronted Steffy about it, but the Steffy was unapologetic. When Taylor told Steffy that she doesn't want to wait for Ridge to make a decision and she wants to leave town, Steffy encouraged her mother to not give up. Bill Spencer Jr. called Steffy and said that he wants to sell his house in Aspen and told her that she is free to travel there and check it out. Steffy took him up on his offer and told her mother that they could go to Aspen together. Taylor told her that she wanted to get away from LA. Ridge was over at Eric's for a visit with Douglas. While there CPS showed up, wanting to check on Douglas, which angered Ridge.

After their visit, Thomas suggested that he should call a childhood friend to find out who had called CPS on him. The man came over and played the recording of the phone call. Ridge found out that supposedly Brooke called Child Protective Services on Thomas and he was angry with his wife. Steffy called Ridge and told him that Taylor wants to give up on them and leave town. Steffy and Thomas, both were pleased that Ridge was angry with Brooke and wants Ridge to be with Taylor once again and they are determined to make sure that it happens. What Steffy and everyone else didn't know is that Thomas himself made the CPS call and used the voice changing application to sound like his step mother.

Steffy's victory over Brooke[]

Steffy was comforting her depressed mother in Aspen while Ridge was heartbroken when he confronted Brooke and asked her if she made the CPS call on Thomas. Brooke denied which made Ridge angry so he told her that he left something at the office and left. When he was wondering why Brooke did this to him a pine fell on his head and he immediately thought of Aspen and Taylor so he flew Forrester private jet and appeared in front of Steffy's mom. Steffy saw that her parents talk and she informed Thomas. The two siblings became hopeful that it's a new start for their parents. Ridge managed to convince an initially unsure Taylor to be with him again, but he didn't tell her anything about the CPS call he believed Brooke made. Steffy was overjoyed that her parents are back together and they shared a family hug. After that all three called Thomas and confirmed what he was already expecting. Steffy's mood changed for the worse when she spotted Brooke and Ridge talking outside. She wanted to interfere, but Taylor stopped her and said that she wants to see how Ridge will handle her rival. The two women looked through the window and when Taylor started having slight doubts Steffy assured her. Taylor decided to take a walk and shortly after Ridge came inside the house and confirmed that he and his wife are done. When Ridge went looking for Taylor Steffy decided to talk to Brooke who was sitting outside the house. Steffy told Brooke that her mother's goodness and dignity finally paid off and that she can be sure that her relationship with her father is done. Steffy decided that she needs to go back to LA to give her parents some alone time in Aspen. She told Ridge that she's glad that he came back to his senses and she left. Before leaving, Steffy made sure to put up romantic candles in her parents bedroom to create a romantic atmosphere. It seemed to work because Taylor and Ridge soon made love in that bedroom while Steffy was on her way home. Back in LA, Steffy met with her brother, Thomas and expressed to him how happy she is about their parents reuniting. In Steffy's mind, Taylors's goodness finally paid off and she wanted to be more focused on her family's happiness right now. Back in LA Steffy and Thomas announced that their parents are back together in front of Donna, Eric, Katie, Carter and Paris. Katie was shocked as it was the first time she heard it. Eric started talking about Quinn Fuller. The Forrester man told everyone that she left LA and Forrester Creations. Carter explained that Quinn left him and how he feels about it. Steffy quickly changed the topic back to her parents reunion. When she was alone Hope went inside her office and told her that she knows how she and her mother operated to pull Ridge from her mother. Steffy said that her mother isn't a home wrecker and has integrity, but Hope reminded Steffy how flirty Taylor was with Ridge and that she saw it with her own eyes. Hope told Steffy that she and Taylor won't be the reason why her mother's marriage will get destroyed and she will do what she can to stop her.

He explained that Thomas framed Brooke by using a voice changing app. Steffy was furious with Thomas and she confronted him. Steffy's brother tried to talk her into keeping this between them for their parents sake, but the Forrester woman didn't listen to him and she revealed it to her shocked mother. Taylor was heartbroken and disappointed by her son's actions, but she decided to believe Ridge's words about choosing her not because of anything that Brooke did. When the time of vows arrived Steffy noticed that Taylor isn't telling Ridge the truth. Not wanting to see her parents marriage starting with a lie she exposed Thomas before her parents said their "I do's". Ridge was shocked and angry with Taylor and even more with Thomas. Ridge left to talk to Brooke. Steffy and her brother started arguing and Taylor was on Steffy's side agreeing that telling the truth was the right thing to do. Steffy hoped that her father will come back to the Forrester home and still marry her mother, but that didn't happen. After Ridge told Brooke about everything all hell broke loose. Everyone was angry with Thomas and he got fired from Forrester Creations. Soon Steffy found out that Taylor and Brooke became friends and that they both decided to not fight for her father's love any longer. Steffy was very surprised, but happy for her mother.
