Why isn’t Jacqueline MacInnes Wood on ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ right now?

The Bold and the Beautiful fans miss seeing Steffy onscreen. Her recent absence is because Wood is on maternity leave. The actor gave birth to her third son Brando on May 24; six days later, on May 30, Steffy’s exit was aired.

Steffy’s departure comes amid a massive storyline. Unbeknownst to the grieving widow, her husband Finn is still alive. Fans eagerly await Sinn’s reunion with Finn awake and trying to escape captivity from Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown).

The walls are closing in on Sheila, and it’s a matter of time before Finn’s rescued. As for when he’ll be reunited with Steffy, well, it might be sooner than everyone thinks.

When is Steffy Forrester returning to ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’?

Steffy has been gone for over a month on The Bold and the Beautiful. While fans understand her absence, they’re also eager for her to return. Wood’s maternity leave is almost up, so when can viewers expect the actor back?

According to Soaps.com, the show’s supervising producer Casey Kasprzyk gave fans a clue about Steffy’s return. During the July 8 episode of Bold Live with Katherin Kelly Lang, he revealed when Steffy’s would appear back onscreen. “The end of July,” Kasprzyk said during a Q&A session. Lang then inquired about Wood’s schedule asking, “Isn’t she back?”

It appears Wood is back from maternity leave and ready to give fans a dose of Steffy.
