Steffy is very protective of her mother, Taylor, on The Bold and the Beautiful. So, when Ridge broke Taylor’s heart again, fans expected Steffy to lash out at her dad. Yet, they were left disappointed in their scenes.

Key Takeaways

• Steffy warned Ridge not to hurt Taylor when the couple got back together.
• Ridge dumped Taylor to reunite with Brooke.
• When Steffy returned, she expressed her disappointment in her father’s decision.
• Fans think Ridge deserved a severe admonishment from Steffy.

No Consequences For Ridge

Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is Tridge’s biggest supporter. When Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor (Rebecca Budig) got back together, Steffy was thrilled. However, she was also concerned because of Ridge’s history of breaking Taylor’s heart.

Steffy warned her dad not to hurt her mom again, yet Ridge did it anyway. He broke off his engagement to Taylor, then married Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) hours later. Steffy was out of town when the Tridge and Bridge drama went down. When she returned, fans were anxious to see the father-daughter confrontation.

Many assumed Steffy would lay into her father, but instead, all Steffy did was say she was “disappointed.” The lack of drama between Steffy and Ridge didn’t go over well with viewers. On a soap opera forum, fans felt Ridge got off too easily.

“Thomas and Steffy are never allowed to cuss out Eric or Ridge, but at least other characters are allowed to talk crap about and to Ridge,” wrote one user.

“I wished Steffy had at least got to admonish Ridge for breaking his promise to her to not hurt her mom again. I also wanted her to light him up for marrying Brooke in a nanosecond after breaking up with Taylor,” replied one viewer.

While Steffy didn’t get to tell off her father, some people think the damage is already done. “When Ridge reached out to hug Steffy, she hesitated and started to act like she wanted to punch him instead,” one fan wrote.

Taylor Will Need Steffy’s Support

Steffy will always have her mom’s back, and Taylor will need Steffy more than ever. With Taylor and Deacon (Sean Kanan) growing closer, it’s going to spark Sheila’s (Kimberlin Brown) rage.

Sheila is determined to save her marriage to Deacon, even if it means killing Taylor. With Taylor’s life at risk, Steffy’s going to do whatever it takes to protect her mom. Sheila might be dangerous, but Steffy’s a strong person who isn’t afraid of anyone.

Steffy and Sheila have had many battles before. But with Sheila threatening Taylor, it’s time for Steffy to put an end to her mother-in-law’s reign of terror.
