his affair secret. Steffy shows immense support to her husband, as Finn struggles to come to terms with his father's deception, bonding the two deeper in their marriage. In March 2022, Wood spoke to Soaps.com, on the differences between the relationships between Steffy and Liam, and Steffy and Finn, and she stated that, for her character, "Finn brought out her softer, flirtatious side where as with Liam, things are usually a little more dark and twisted." In April 2022, Novlan vacated the role of Finn when executive producer and head writer Bradley Bell chose to kill off Finn, at the hands of Sheila, who shoots him after he takes a bullet meant for Steffy. Wood admitted she would miss working with Novlan, affirming that as "a screen partner he gave everything he had. It was a delight to work with him and I hope we get to work together again in the future." She expressed her feelings of sadness that the decision to write off Finn would signify that "a colleague, amazing screen partner and friend would be leaving." It was later revealed in late May that Finn had survived the shooting and was being nursed back to health by his mother Li, which signified that Novlan had never in fact exited the role. Unable to cope with the loss of Finn, Steffy leaves for Europe and unable to handle her grief, institutionalized herself into a mental health care facility. Wood describes that losing Finn was deeply agonizing for Steffy, as Finn is "her true love, the father of her baby, her Prince Charming, and her happily ever after." Finn who is able to escape from Sheila's clutches (who had discovered him being taken care of Li and attacked her, and proceeded to hold Finn's hostage), flew to Monaco, where the pair experienced an emotional reunion in the backdrop of the French Riviera located church. Wood describes the reunion as "romantic, [...] passionate and raw" and emphasizes that Steffy feels "utterly on top of the world" as "her true love has literally come back to life."
