■ Keeping A-list couples apart is Soaps 101, but the obstacle has to make sense.

■ A mother who shot you and your wife in an alley and left you for dead is a good one. B&B’s clueless Finn denied the danger when his psycho birth mother was released from prison, repeatedly telling Steffy that Sheila was “gone for good”. But there she was spying on Finn and Kelly at the beach, peeking in the window, lurking outside the back door, until Finn finally yanked the lunatic into the house to end it.

Finn: “We’re never going to forget what happened in the alley. Walk out that door and never come back.”

Sheila (pointing to Steffy): “You’re appeasing her? She’s controlling you!”

Finn: “If you love me, prove it. Say good-bye.”

Sheila left, vowing to return of course. Finn proved his unfitness as any kind of protector again by insisting they were safe, which was a joke.

Steffy: “I can’t do this anymore.”

She packed up the kids and hightailed it to Europe, leaving her hubby alone to stare at an empty living room and wonder where it all went wrong. Let’s start with when Liam shot a video of you hugging Sheila and go from there ...

Liam thinks he’s got the inside track with Steffy now, but after three failed marriages to her (seven weddings overall) he’s not exactly THE GOLDEN BACHELOR.

Wyatt (to Liam): “How you got Steffy and Hope is going to baffle me until the end of time.”

Me, too.
