Steffy takes her responsibility as Douglas’ guardian, even if temporary, very seriously and John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) backs her up. If Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) can’t come and go as he pleases and spend all the time he wants with Douglas then neither should Hope, and certainly not Liam. Hope is the one with the adoption papers so Liam doesn’t even enter into this situation-he barely comes to see his own daughter Kelly Spencer (Sophia Paras McKinlay) anymore.
Steffy knows that Hope and Liam wouldn’t hurt Douglas, but he chose her instead of Hope or Thomas as his guardian for a reason. Letting either one of them have free reign to influence him one way or another would simply be wrong, and she knows they’d try.
Hope and Thomas lash out with the exact same words, only Hope adds Liam into the equation, telling Steffy and Finn they can’t keep THEM from seeing THEIR son. Steffy’s torqued, and she says how would Liam like it if she didn’t let him see Kelly anymore, not that he ever does anyway-it’s all about Douglas. Steffy expected flak from Thomas, but not from Hope and certainly not from Liam; she wonders if she will have to do something else drastic legally. The last thing Douglas needs is to be at the center of a family feud, that’s why he didn’t want to choose between Hope and Thomas to begin with.
Hope argues that she and Liam don’t need boundaries like Thomas does, because they have never done anything but love and support the little boy. Steffy tells her what Douglas told her, that he didn’t want to choose between her and Thomas and that is why he chose her to be his guardian. He knew if he chose one or the other, the one he didn’t choose would feel rejected and the one he did would keep him from the one he didn’t.
They must do what is in Douglas’ best interests, not what is in theirs, and Steffy has to protect him from all the dysfunctional drama. He sees her and Finn’s home as somewhere neutral, somewhere safe, and somewhere he doesn’t have to worry about making a choice.
