Steffy lashes out at Finn while Taylor has a chat with Ridge in recap for August 20, 2024. We begin today at the Malibu house where Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is reeling from the news that Hope (Annika Noelle) kissed Finn (Tanner Novan). At Forrester Creations, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) is shocked to hear that Hope kissed Finn.

"What would possess you to do such a thing?" Brooke asks. Taylor (Rebecca Budig) appears in Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) doorway. She loves watching him sketch.

When he says it has been too long, she tells him that she’s back. He’s always happy to see her. Brooke demands to know why Hope would kiss Finn, and Hope says that something came over her.

She asks her daughter for details on what happened. Finn tells Steffy that he’s so sorry for what happened. Steffy thinks he let Hope kiss him, and he insists that it wasn’t like that.

She warned him over and over about her, but he didn’t listen. And now Hope kissed him. She’s disgusted.

Taylor shows Ridge all of the pictures she has of Douglas in Paris. He asks if Douglas and Thomas really like it over there, and she thinks they truly are. He’s momentarily upset that Taylor knew about the engagement before he did.

Taylor says she is glad to be there for Steffy now after all she’s been through the past few months. Ridge asks if she had a chance to see Hayes and Kelly, but the grandkids weren’t home. She missed them, and she’s missed Ridge, too.
