Taylor came to surprise and meet daughter Steffy Forrester Finnegan, revealing that she went to Africa to stay away from Ridge, as she still loved him. She said it was hard seeing Ridge with Brooke, so she decided to leave the country. Later, during the Christmas season, when the news about John's (Steffy's husband) biological mother came out, Taylor suggested that Steffy invite her for dinner.

However, during the dinner, Taylor warned Sheila (John's biological mother) to be grateful that she let her in and to never show up unannounced. Taylor, who was still in love with her ex-husband Ridge, then found some crucial information; when Ridge was out on a business trip, Brooke's ex Deacon had shown up at their place and Brooke had spent a night with him.
