‘Bold and the Beautiful’ Fans React as Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Returns After Baby No. 5
Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is ready to step back into the shoes of heiress Steffy Forrester Finnegan as the actress returns to The Bold and the Beautiful after going on maternity leave earlier this year.
As revealed by supervising producer Casey Kaspryzk on X on Tuesday (September 9), Wood is now back on set and filming new episodes. “Excited to have Jacqueline MacInnes Wood back on set and taping her first scenes at our new studio!” Kaspryzk wrote alongside a photo of the Steffy and John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) family.
Wood has portrayed Steffy on and off since 2008 and will be returning to the soap amid a scandal for the Forrester and Spencer families. As reported by Parade, Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) is set to instigate a plan involving Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) that will significantly impact the lives of Steffy and Finn and others.
Fans flooded the comments section with excitement over Wood’s return, with one commenter writing, “She looks great. & it’s so good to see the Sinn Family all together again!”

She is going to fake being pregnant

Ya what is that? It's obvious that's what she wants but, checking to see if she's pregnant like 2 days after is ridiculous! Will should have strangled her right there and called the cops! Please stop this Luna sickness now. Dead or a jail far away!

Ridge is pathetic whatever Brooke does to hurt him he deserves it. What type of man accepts someone Proposal then breaks her heart again then goes back to brooke and propose to her. Ridge is a loser and him and Brooke deserves one another . She's also trash she doesn't care who she steps on as long as she gets her way. The writer is also pathetic why the back and forth? Taylor needs a real man not a wimp. She's a woman with morals she needs someone with integrity and who's a one woman man not a backstabber like Ridge. I only watches this show for Taylor, steffy, and thomas definitely not for the logans and Eric. Why are Katie and Donna on the show their roles are not wanted. Sorry steffy, Thomas, Taylor and Carter I can't support this soap no longer.

Taylor has no morals she slept with more men than Brooke. She slept with Brooke's father her brother and son and random men while drinking . Plus all the men Brooke was with except Deacon and Bill. Taylor knew this was going to happen again .don't feel sorry for her.

That’s what I said, remember how steffy went after Liam and didn’t care that he was hopes man? She had hope stuck in the gondola watching her marry him, and how she went after Bill knowing he was Katie’s man and want about Liam’s brother, who does that. .. Lol

Brook had the daddy and brothers too, also Nick Maroni, dollar bill and Bridget's Husband! Taylor's kids are older than Brooke kids, so how did she have Ridge first, Ija?

So, you just want a show about Taylor ( who everyone knows has slept with Brooks brother, SON , all the Foresters, several other members of the cast, the cameraman, the curtain hanger, the make-up man and the cleaner 🙄🤣🤣🤣 well if she didn't, she probably tried) shot Bill AND hid the fact her son covered up baby Beth, and Brooke's alcohol shuffle, the welfare call, tried to get Ridge to marry her without telling him this...
Steffy... who has so many gunshot wounds she must look like a serve... plays kissy with Liam at will, but doesn't tell Finn, but sacks Hope for falling on top of Finn's excuse for being on the desk 😆 and her list of covered up crimes.
And psycho Thomas... who has just returned without yet another partner. A lot of people disappear due to this aging bachelor. The doll abusing lunatic who manages to blend in with life after every sociopath criminal outburst his parents get him out of.
I think you missed the mark when you said Taylor has morals....define M o r a l s. You don't get it both ways - you can't put two milkshakes on the table and call one a glass of water, that is not what reality is.
Donna ad Katey are in the show because they are foundation members . Do you understand that... just as there is the Forrester family there is the Logan family and the Spencer ... if you have not realised there purpose then you have no concept of story development. So their roles are wanted and you do not speak for the viewing population.
What a selfish bitter post

This Taylor is pathetic so they picked a good one. She nauseates me. And, Luna can't someone just throw her over a prison railing?

I really don’t like Steffy at all. She is a bully. She and Hope recently came together to support Liam but a leopard doesn’t change her spots. JMW is a good actor but the role of Steffy is one I can do without. I can also do without Luna and her craziness!
