It seems they can’t get Liam off their minds or out of their hearts.
That meant they were free to be together and Liam proposed.
When Liam saved Steffy after she slipped and fell in her bathtub, the rivalry was on.

Steffy wanted Hope’s fiance and was determined to have him (viaSoaps In Depth).
When Hope would, Steffy would be right there waiting.
Steffy managed to marry Liam before Hope did and she did this several times.

She told him to be with Hope because she could give him a family, according toSoaps In Depth.
However, Liam never married Hope because his brother Wyatt (Darin Brooks) managed to do so first.
She even got Liam to give up on Hope and want her.

Never fear, though, because Hope was near.
Still, the rivalry lived on in Liam.
This caused Steffy and Hope to fight over their parents, according toSoaps.com.

Poor Steffy was left in a coma while Finn didn’t survive (viaSoap Hub).
The gravity of it all made Hope realize just how much Steffy means to her.
She’s been a rival and a friend, and their feud has mainly centered around one man.

When Steffy’s life is on the line, it kind of puts their whole relationship into perspective.
