Great news for Jacqui M. fans!  Fan favorite, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) is headed back to the CBS soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful and this time its on contract, according to TV Guide Magazine’s Michael Logan.

Recently, Jacqui’s Steffy Forrester made a brief return to Los Angeles and then left but not before starting the pot brewing before her exit! Now she is back and ready to do as only Steffy can!  In her chat with Logan, Woods shared that it’s true that Steffy may be perhaps a little unbalanced!

Wood weighed-in and related:  “A lot of unfortunate things have happened to this girl—her sister’s death, the time she stupidly got on that motorcycle and had a miscarriage, which Liam has never forgiven her for. She’s been hurt a thousand times, not to mention the insane stuff that happened when she was young, like being kidnapped, like seeing her father leave her mother over and over again. I hold this character close to me like I would a best friend. I want to slap some sense into her whenever I see her heading in the wrong direction, which happens so often. So, yes, she’s a mess. But a very strong mess. Steffy will always have her feelings for Liam, but now she’s coming back to fight on a much bigger scale. And it’s going to be bloody.”

Now the questions remain … Will Steffy come between Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer) and Liam (Scott Clifton)? Will she get Liam and Forrester Creations to become hers, and hers exclusively?

Let us know what you hope will happen now that Steffy is back in the equation, and the news that viewers will see more of Jacqueline MacInnes Wood in the months to come!

This is fantastic news, I love Steffy and I think JMW is a great actress. Can’t wait for Steffy to return, and I hope she brings Thomas and Taylor with her!

Yay! Happy to see her back!

Love her!

She may call herself a mess but she’s a beautiful actress and I hope she gets Liam back and takes Forester away from Rick. I can just see her reaction to Myia. Rick will never live this down but after the way he’s treated everyone I would like to see him and Brook have a breakdown. I’m sick of her snapping her fingers. I really don’t want to see her back with Ridge and I was so happy today when he told her he works better alone. In other words (Get out Brook).

She deserves a better storyline than the all too inevitable triangle romance story they’ll give her.

Maybe they’ll pair her with Wyatt and drive Liam up the wall with another one of his exes hooking up with his brother.

I was always a Hope fan, but JMW def holds my attn when she is onscreen!!! I am so giddy I cannot wait for this!!!!! Ivy better watchout!! But I hope Bell utilizes her talents and doesn’t relegate her to only being in a triangle or being a manchaser!!! She needs some new arenas to play in but I cannot wait to see Steffy Forrester Spencer back on screen and causing trouble!!! Brooke’s time as a temptress has passed(i love KKL, though) time for the next generation of sexy!! Come on Steffy and watchout LA!!!!!!

Heres hoping this keeps Hope away

I like ivy and liam together hope they don;t screw it up

Oh please let her be the one to expose Myra on the runway at a fashion show saying here is Myron. That is what Grandma Stephanie would do such delicious soapy fun that would be.She has to come back and not be lovesick over the loser Liam.

I’m pretty sure the truth will come out about Myra long before Steffy shows up on May 26. At least it had better!!

Bring her back but not in triangle…I want Hope with LiamSteffie and wyatt would have great chemistry…..now bring back Kim ( Hope) and get the show back on track!!

Love her!! Best talent on the show!!! But please don’t have her run after liam. He us a waste of air!! Her and Wyatt could be nice!! But whatever she does it will be amazing as she is the best!!!

Best news ever,Lets just pray they don’t put her in a triangle with loser Liam and boring ass Ivy..
Steffy is Stephanie name sake so she should have a leading storyline and not stuck in a over down triangle..no one is buying steffy a woman like steffy still hang up on loser boy (Liam) so we want that chapter close, new storyline with new love interest.. Let liam stay with Ivy ,honestly they are worse than liam and hope (Boring) with nothing to talk about except rick… Welcome back JMW we missed you dearly

I love JacMac and i am a Forresterfan for life! She should forget Liam and fall for Carter! It is so overboring, this show only writes Triangles and Logan & Forrester sharing ex-partners! Let Steffy be the next Forrester Matriarch, strong and family loyal like her namesake, Stephanie Forrester, Sr. was and the same way the blondes Logan always got the men, it is now time for STEFFY FORRESTER always having “Dolla” Bill Spencer and Liam on her side, but she should run FC with Carter! Let them have a sweet Baby and be happy! The show needs after all the lovestorys and their mess a Couple, which is strong AND total in love with each other AND with Power over the LOgans! STOP the LOgan ERA, for godsake. its so long overdue, that this show turns into more balance and not only Logans on top again and again. No drama more since years! Bridge is dead and done, but still Forresters lose it all. And now this Myrona mess. Time for a total change, Bell!

Never thought I’d be happy to see her come back, but anything is better than having to listen to that actress playing Ivy work her, no chemistry with Liam whatsoever, lines.

THIS IS WHAT STEFFY FANS , HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. STEFFY TO COME BACK ” WITH A FORRESTER / SPENCER , ATTITUDE. SURE STEFFY & LIAM FANS , WOULD LOVE TO SEE THEM GET BACK TOGETHER. I DO NOT, WANT STEFFY , RUNNING AFTER LIAM. I WANT LIAM , ON ” HIS HANDS & KNEES ” , BEGGING STEFFY TO TAKE HIM BACK. STEFFY WILL DO FINE WITHOUT LIAM. SHE IS A VERY , STRONG WILLED LADY . SHE ” DOES NOT NEED, ANY MAN ” TO MAKE HER A SUCCESSFUL C.E.O OF F C . IT’S ABOUT TIME THAT A FORRESTER, WITHOUT ANY LOGAN BLOOD, TAKES OVER AS THE HEAD HONCHO OF F C . ERIC MAY NOT HAVE ANY LOGAN BLOOD , IN HIM, BUT HE IS NO LESS A LOGAN LOVER.

Love Jacqueline and Steffy! Her presence will definitely make me tune in again! Just PLEASE writers, PLEASE stop making Steffy put her life on hold for Liam! She’s much better than this. He’s moved on and been happy since their marriage ended why can’t she!? Steffy is too much of a bright, fiery and fun personality to spend any more time crying over what was! If Liam doesn’t want her, let her bring a sexy Frenchman back from Paris with her who wants to make her happy! Enough of the sad, depressed Steffy! Time for the old funny, spicy, fearless Steffy to return with a vengeance!!

Let’s only pray they don’t have Steffy proping up slutty brook! I love Steffy and can’t wait for her return! Bell use JWM with all the great acting she can do on her own!

The best news ever! I love her all the time. welcome back, you are the best!

Cant wait to se if she can get Rick out please.

I hope Liam stays with Ivy let the underdog win this time. Ivy is a good girl an Liam has feelings for her let us see something different this time other than the villain cause that what she is a spoil rich brat

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.
