Steffy Forrester owns Liam Spencer’s heart and he knows it. Since Steffy has returned to LA to help her father assume control of Forrester Creations, Liam has been unable to get thoughts of his ex-wife out of his mind. While Steffy makes advances towards him, Ivy is sensing a renewal of their attraction, and the love triangle is causing friction between her and Liam. When Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) gets upset about the “welcome to Forrester” kiss that Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) plants on Liam (Scott Clifton), his blasé attitude towards Ivy’s feelings heightens the tension between the pair, and Liam’s conflict over his two paramours. Under pressure from Bill (Don Diamont) to reunite with Steffy before he loses her to another man, Liam is tempted to extremes when Steffy shows…

* Amid all the confusion over Ivy and Liam’s marriage, Wyatt senses Steffy’s pain and decides he wants to be her knight in shining armour. Wyatt flirts with Steffy, promising to help her forget about his half-brother. Although Steffy is hesitant to jump into another relationship when she’s not over Liam, Wyatt (Darin Brooks) won’t be deterred and kisses his former sister-in-law. When he overhears Steffy telling Ridge that she just wants a normal guy in her life, Wyatt offers himself. Steffy may be impressed with Wyatt’s ardour but her heart belongs to Liam.

All hope seems lost for Steffy when Liam marries Ivy to secure her stay in the US. But with immigration revealing the Aussie is in fact a legitimate dual citizen and she can now stay in the US (plus Liam realising where his affections truly lie), it’s still open…

THE NEW FINALE * The show’s producer CHRIS MARTIN-JONES has indicated that the last six minutes of the new season two finale on Foxtel will be “completely different” to what was seen in last year’s finale on Channel 7. He says there will be different scenes and the characters’ storylines will change. * A major event also occurs at the very end of the episode with ramifications that Martin-Jones says will “reverberate” throughout season three. “The stakes are suddenly raised for all the characters,” he explains. * Two sneak peek images also reveal that REGINA (Jenni Baird) has a shotgun and SARAH (Marta Dusseldorp) is distressed about her situation with GEORGE (Brett Climo) and RENE (Ben Winspear) as she wanders outdoors.
