Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Don't let her come between us

Steffy: She wants you back?

Finn: That's what she told me. 

Steffy: So you saw her?

Finn: I did. Today.

Steffy: So it changed anything between us?

Finn: No! God no... Absolutely not! 

Steffy: So why are you telling me?

Finn: Look... There are many things you should know about her... 

Next scene: Hope and Liam are in their home talking.

Liam: So Flo was visiting you again?

Hope: Yes.

Liam: How did you find forgiveness?

Hope: I don't know... A part of this is empathy...I feel for her. She lost a child. I know exactly how much it hurts because I believed that Beth is dead for so many months... But also the fact that she is my cousin. Liam, I had to forgive so many people in my life... 

Liam: You always find it in your heart. Even for Thomas.

Hope: Thomas won't be a problem for us anymore. Him and Caroline are solid... I believe that his issues disappeared the moment Caroline came back to his life.

Liam: He seemed fine with Sally.

Hope: Yes, but now he has his family back. I still grief losing Douglas, but I can see him often and... What's best for him is his biological mother. 

Liam: True. Caroline is his mom.

Hope: It's not her fault that she was in a coma... I am still a bit angry with her mom for all the secrets and that she allowed me to bond with Douglas for so many months, but honestly... I would do it all over again.

Liam hugs Hope.

Hope: So... Did you talk to Steffy?

Liam: Why do you ask?

Hope: I wonder how she is holding up. She was very sad about Massimo.

Liam: She probably still is.

Hope: True... 

Next scene: Finn told Steffy the story about Brittany.

Steffy: Wow... She sounds...

Finn: Troubled.

Steffy: Yeah you can use that word. She's clearly insecure... 

Finn: I guess.

Steffy: When is she going back?

Finn: I have no idea. 

Steffy: And your mom really likes her?

Finn: I didn't tell my mom about Brittany's crazy behaviors.

Steffy: Well maybe you should?

Finn: I don't know... I wish she could move on and all the embarrassing information could stay between me and her. 

Steffy: Finn you are a gentleman, but your mother loves her and dislikes me. Do something about it. God, I just thought that it will be better now because my grandpa finally has his treatment... I thought I'd rest from all the drama and now your mother hates me and your crazy ex is in town. 

Finn looks sad.

Next scene: Hope and Liam continue talking.

Hope: You know what Flo told me? Her mother has a crush on Nick Marone.
