When Steffy Forrester was a little girl, she spent years without her mother, Taylor Hayes (then played by Hunter Tylo). Steffy and her siblings, the late Phoebe and Thomas, believed Taylor was dead after Sheila Carter shot her during another one of her crazed tirades.
It turned out that Taylor was secretly nursed back to health, but Steffy always knew that Sheila had taken her mother from her during some of the most important years of her life, according to Soaps In Depth.
When Sheila reappeared in her life in 2021 by showing up at her wedding reception and announcing that she was the birth mother of her new husband, Finn, Steffy couldn’t believe her ears and warned Finn to stay away from this woman (via Soaps.com).
Eventually, Taylor (now played by Krista Allen) convinced Steffy to give Sheila a chance and invite her to Christmas dinner, but neither one of them knew what Sheila was really up to during the holiday season (via Soaps.com).
