Stephanie “Steffy” Forrester on the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful is played by Jacqueline MacInnes Wood who took over the role in 2008. Steffy was introduced on the show on September 21, 1999, as the daughter of Ridge Forrester and Taylor Hayes. The character was first played by several twin child artists until 2002.

In 2002, Cameryn McNabb took over the role until 2003, followed by Jordan Mella, Kylie Rae Tyndall, and Alex Hoover between 2004 and 2006. For a brief period in 2020-2021, Kayla Ewell played the role of Steffy Forrester. Steffy is a regular character on The Bold and the Beautiful but recently rumors have been circulating that she might exit the show. Jacqueline Wood, who plays the role of Steffy on The Bold and the Beautiful, is expecting her fifth child, due to which fans on the internet have started to speculate about the actor and her character leaving the show.

However, there is no official confirmation made by the show or actress about an exit. Additionally, looking at the storylines as per the spoilers, it is safe to say that Steffy will not be leaving Los Angeles anytime soon.


What led to speculations about Steffy leaving The Bold and the Beautiful?

Steffy Forrester is a known socialite in Los Angeles, who gets into trouble because of her fame and power. The current storyline of Steffy Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful shows that the character has a lot to take care of and is involved in several plotlines that are crucial to the show. Then what exactly led to the rumors of the character leaving the show?

The speculations started with the fact that actress Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, who plays Steffy, is pregnant with her fifth child, leading to speculation that she might decide to take a break from the show, leaving the fate of the character hanging.

The spoilers from the show for the next two weeks indicate that neither Steffy nor Wood will be going anywhere as she is currently involved in the plotlines of Tom and Hollis's murder, still believing that Sheila is the murderer and the story track of resolving the love triangle with Finn and Hope. There is an additional storyline of the recent entry of Steffy's mother Taylor Hayes, for whom she has been waiting for the last two weeks.

Steffy also gets to know that Hope kissed Finn, who told her about it himself, escalating the feud that has been running for a long time between the two women. However, Steffy blames Finn for it and might also make a crucial decision that will define her marriage.

Throughout the actress's journey on the show, she has only taken a long break once - between 2013 and 2015, and has remained a regular cast member for the last 16 years.

According to The Sun, Wood went on a brief break in September 2023, after giving birth to her son in August. After her maternity leave, she has made a total of 120 appearances on The Bold and the Beautiful in 2024 so far.

As far as the question of whether Wood is leaving the show is concerned it can be expected that she will continue to play her role and isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
