‘The Bold and the Beautiful’: Every Actor Who Has Played Steffy Forrester

Steffy Forrester has been around for years on The Bold and The Beautiful. However, it wasn’t until 2008 when she truly shone, and her character became a leading lady on the long-running soap.

While many know Jacqueline MacInnes Wood as Steffy, other actors have also brought the character to life in the past. Here’s every actor who has played Steffy over the years.

Steffy Forrester is known for her animosity toward Hope Logan

Steffy is one-half of a fraternal set of twins. She and her twin sister Phoebe were born to B&B‘s super couple Ridge Forrester and Taylor Hayes. Steffy is strong-willed and sometimes provocative and is shown as an emotionally starved rich kid. She is known for her relationships with the Spencer men, from Bill Spencer Jr. to Liam Spencer and Wyatt Spencer.

Her relationship with Liam brought forth her long-lasting animosity toward her former step-sister Hope Logan. Steffy, Liam, and Hope had a love triangle for years, with Liam going back and forth between the two women. However, Steffy found love with Dr. John Finnegan, thus retiring the love triangle storyline.

Steffy also hates her mother’s rival and Hope’s mom, Brooke Logan. She and her brother Thomas have made it their life’s mission to ensure their father, Ridge Forrester, leaves Brooke and settles with their mother, Taylor.
