Daytime Confidential hailed the rivalry between Hope and Steffy as the show's "Next Generation" version of Brooke and Taylor. Prior to the introduction of Liam, "TV Soap" wrote: "After 23 years of being the main love triangle on "The Bold and The Beautiful", it looks like the Brooke/Ridge/Taylor saga is being pushed into the background by three new players – Steffy, Oliver and Hope", and noted that "diehard" fans of the show had begun recognizing the trio of Steffy, Oliver and Hope as "the new Brooke, Ridge and Taylor". "TV Week" called Steffy, Liam and Hope "one of "Bold"s classic love triangles". However, Michael Logan, writing for "TV Guide", observed in 2012 that the trio's saga was "heavily" played and had "taken over the show". In February 2013, "#Steffy" became a trending topic on Twitter during the scene where Steffy stopped Hope and Liam's impromptu wedding to reveal her pregnancy.
