Steffy's mother was Taylor Hayes, a psychiatrist, introduced on The Bold and the Beautiful in 1990. She was married to Ridge Forrester and had three children from this marriage. Later, this relationship caused her long-standing friction with Ridge's other love, Brooke Logan. The tussle of the two ladies over Ridge made up an important thread in the storyline of the daily soap. She was last seen on the soap in November 2023.
The Bold and the Beautiful has had many characters who have joined and exited over the years. However, Taylor Hayes has had a significant part to play, initially as a heroine and later in a recurring role. Actor Hunter Tylo played the character from 1990 to 2019 and Krista Allen between 2021 and 2023.

Though portrayed as a doctor with a good heart, Taylor made mistakes like bickering with Brooke over Ridge to shooting Bill Spencer Jr. However, she was a dependable mother who supported Steffy in all her decisions.
The Bold and the Beautiful episodes airing in September 2023, found Steffy deciding to leave town with her children to escape her mother-in-law Sheila. She sought her mother's help when planning to raise her children away from Sheila.
Again, episodes from November 2023 showed Taylor confronting Sheila about her villainous moves, something a loving mother would do. For years, Steffy and Thomas have tried to get their mother back with their father. However, recent developments in The Bold and the Beautiful have seen Ridge and Brooke reuniting while Taylor has been missing in action for months now.
Who is Taylor Hayes of The Bold and the Beautiful?
Dr. Taylor Hayes first appeared in The Bold and the Beautiful in 1990 as a famous psychiatrist who was the counselor for Ridge Forrester and Caroline. She shared a romantic attachment with Ridge, which led to their marriage in 1992. She had three children from this marriage, Thomas and twins Steffy and Phoebe. Steffy's twin Phoebe died in 2008 and since then, Taylor has remained to support Steffy and Thomas.
Taylor and Brooke Logan's friction remained a major attraction for The Bold and the Beautiful viewers till they called a truce recently. Taylor's character development has also seen some changes over the years.
Taylor was a morally correct doctor who vied for Ridge's attention. However, she has had an eventful life filled with wrong moves and choices. She was romantically involved with Ridge's brother Thorne, Nick Marone, Whip Jones, and even Eric Forrester.
Some of her high-drama experiences include being kept in Prince Omar Rashid's palace, being shot by Sheila, coming back from the dead, running over Darla Forrester, and shooting Bill Spencer. Prince Omar saved her twice, once when her plane crashed and again when she presumably died after being shot by Sheila.
The two crimes that kept her in fear were running over and accidentally killing Thorne's wife, Darla, and shooting Bill in the back. However, Steffy and others have forgiven her mistakes.
Her last appearance on the soap saw her giving an earful to Sheila for causing difficulties for Steffy. She even threatened to come after her.
Is Taylor likely to be back on The Bold and the Beautiful?
As mentioned before, Taylor Hayes has been absent from the show since November 2023. She was last seen taking a stand supporting her daughter and having a faceoff with Sheila. As such, there is no word from the show owners about Steffy's mother continuing in the storyline. However, there has been no definite exit for the character either.
Watch The Bold and the Beautiful to know more about Steffy's story arc and her mother's involvement.
