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

Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun Written Out of The Young and the Restless

It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.

Rosie O’Donnell Says She Will Return to ‘The View’ During its Season 30

Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
