Bold and the beautiful - alternative version.

Taking sides.

Steffy: Did anyone even thought about asking me first?

Hope: Well, that is my line and... Brittany is your cousin so I thought that...

Steffy: You thought wrong!

Thorne: Steffy! This is not only your family's company.

Steffy: It happens that I am CO-CEO... 

Thorne shakes his head.

Hope looks scared.

Next scene: Brooke and Ridge are in the other office. 

Brooke: I am happy that your dad is on the beautiful island... Think about it... If he feels good enough to travel... He must be getting better. The doctors must have had it all wrong. 

Ridge: We will take him to the doctors again once he comes back.

Brooke: It would be amazing if he would get better. 

Ridge: Yes. We are having such an amazing time Logan. RJ is a great designer, Thorne has a child again and a life purpose... Steffy and Hope aren't arguing.

Hope walks in.

Hope: I am not so sure about that.

Brooke: What happened?

Hope: I just had an argument with Steffy.

Ridge: What about?

Hope: Thorne's daughter... Actually Thorne, Brittany and Steffy are still probably arguing. 

Next scene: Steffy, Brittany and Thorne talk.

Steffy: What would you to in my place? 

Brittany: I don't know...

Steffy: Exactly... You say this because you know that you wouldn't be happy. 

Brittany: Steffy... I love Finn.

Steffy: Here we go!

Brittany: But I am at peace leaving him behind me. 

Steffy: I will need time to believe it... In the meantime please just... Stay away from me.

Ridge walks into the office.

Ridge: Everything ok?

Thorne: I hope that your daughter will accept my daughter. 

Ridge: Steffy? What is going on?

Steffy: Dad, Brittany is Finn's ex that was scheming with Finn's mom to tear us apart.

Brittany: Scheming?! I wasn't scheming! He was angry at you and yes... I wanted to take advantage of it, but it didn't work... He is yours... End of story. Get over it already! 

Ridge: My daughter will get over it in her own time... 

Thorne: We are all sinners here... Why can't my daughter be forgiven? 

Next scene: Hope and Brooke talk.

Hope: Steffy was screaming at me and Brittany and at Thorne... Because apparently Brittany is Finn's ex. 

Brooke: Oh my god...

Hope: I didn't know mom... 

Brooke: I know. Well... Steffy will have to accept this girl in the end.  She is here to stay as Thorne's daughter... Honey, you are able to see Steffy everyday after so many horrible things she has done to you... 

Hope: Mom, it's all in the past.

Brooke: Finn and Thorne's daughter are also in the past.

Hope: It was recent past.
