The episode Jacqueline MacInnes Wood does oh so well

In the April 26th, 2022 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, a bed-ridden Steffy Forrester finally gets the news about Finn. Soaps Spoilers describes how the episode unfolds, including why no one wanted Steffy to know the truth about Finn in her fragile state.

But when they finally break the news to Steffy about Finn dying, the impact is substantial. Steffy breaks into flashes of Finn and Ridge. As the memories about the shooting flood back to her, she shouts, “Finn! Finn!” And the sobbing ensues.

It’s this pivotal realization that showcases just how incredible of an actor Jacqueline MacInnes Wood really is. Her portrayal is so realistic that fans flood social media with accolades. Fans on Twitter discussed how they think this scene alone should be submitted for a 2023 Emmy Award because of Wood’s performance. It’s obvious this acting performance deserves some kind of recognition.
