Steffy Watch 2015! Yup, news today out of The Bold and the Beautiful is that a rep has confirmed to Soap Opera Digest that Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is on her way back to the CBS soap opera!
The last time viewers saw the character of Steffy Forrester was back in February of this year. MacInnes Wood has played the central role from 2008-20013 , previously. In addition, last reports had that the series and Wood could not come to an agreement for her to make a return to the show.
Now, look for Jacqui to appear on new episodes of B&B come late January, and she will be back on set next week to begin taping. Now the question: just how long is Jacqui back for?
So, happy to hear the news? With Kim Matula’s (Hope) exit from the show … is it possible for more Steffy? Share your thoughts below.
I look forward to seeing her. Hope it’s a long return. Ivy, watch out!
Looks like they threatened to recast her role with Kelly Thiebauld and that’s what scared her.
I hope Steffy never leaves this time!!
STEFFY RULES
Oh no, we’re finally getting rid of Hope and now we have her back. If
we’re having a Steffy, Liam, Ivy triangle for the next 5 years I’m done!
Did you make this exact comment on every news article that posted this? Lol…
Lol, here and facebook 🙂
OMG you are sooo right. Snooze fest is a comin.
Woohoooooo!!!!!!!! Please let her be staying for a long time. Let her channel her grandmother’s spirit and put those damned Logans (Brooke/Rick) in their place once and for all!
Awesome news!
I agree. I’m so sick of the Forester’s giving into the Logan’s. It’s suppose to be Forester creations. Before anyone says anything Ridge was adopted so he is legally a Forester. Hope/Donna/Katie are Logan’s and they just walk into Forester Creations like they own it. It really is sickening. Rick on the other hand is Eric & Brook’s son.,so he’s half Forester half Logan.
Ridge was raised as Eric’s son and thought to be Eric’s son. It was not until a few years ago, when Ridge was long since an adult, that it was discovered Eric was not biologically his father. He was not adopted.
Hi Mo ! I knew his father was Massimo but I thought Eric told him to keep the Forester name & since Ridge didn’t want Massimo as a father he filed all the papers?
EXCELLENT NEWS!!!!!
I’m glad she’s back to the series, even if for a short-term guest stint. It’s still a shame that Bell and CBS can’t come to terms of Jacqueline for a more permanent stay. But hearing she’s back in this stint kind of makes me feel like they might be putting plans to recast to rest, maybe? I never thought I’d miss the void left by Steffy with Jacqui revealed she was leaving. But I hope this is the beginning of the return of both Jacqui and Steffy to the soap.
B&B needs Steffy (in the form of Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) to come back, with Kim Matula gone.
We are scrambling to try to get our viewers back right Brad? JMW I hope you socked him for a huge pay increase!
lol true true
I am hearing JMW IS RETURNING TO BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL for just a short time
not for good.
#welcomebacksteffy
i am sure if she return then Kim Matula as HOPE will “only temporarily leave”and return too,so i am good with that.
This is great news! I love JMW and I really like Steffy. Yes, she’s a troublemaker, but Hope has gotten unbearable lately. Plus, I always liked Steffy and Liam together more than Hope and Liam. I’m thrilled with this news, and I hope she sticks around for a while!
I haven’t been watching BB very long so i’m curious to see how i’ll like it with her on there. I am glad that Hopes leaving though. The triangle between her/Liam and Ivy is old
You didn’t miss thing, just replace Wyatt with Steffy and it was years of the same thing.
Please let Steffy returned a changed woman. Strong, confident, maybe dangerous? With a new man? With a secret? She need not come home to instantly jump back into a love triangle with Liam again. (He is a boring character.)
I commented in another thread that I was 3 weeks behind on B&B and was not inspired to catch up quickly. Now I’m sure I’ll be taking my sweet time about it. The good thing is that I can usually get through an episode in about 10 mins. when you FF the incessant flashbacks & bad- music montages. I really want to like this show but they make it *so* hard to do anymore.
yey it about time!…. bye bye so long farewell to hope
I am thrilled to see her back, but not if the do the triangle mess again, that is so OLD!
Glad my girl is back, I loved Steffy and JMW playing the part. She’s been missed on the show so much a lot of fans are so happy and will watch the show again.
Like Taylo, JMW stated herself last week that she would never return to B&B yet here we are. Does the left hand know what the right is doing or are we just gaining publicity with the contradictions in statements? It will be refreshing to see the storyline of Steffy’s return never the less even if just for a small stint. One can only hope it is to see her help Liam go up against Quinn and all i can say is “watch out Quinn, you have no idea who your messing with when it comes to Steffy”.This would be, without any shadow of a doubt, the fight from hell with B&B’s most powerful woman set to rain hell upon anyone who messes with Liam. God help you Quinn if this is Bell’s plan.Bring it on.
IF IT WASN’T FOR QUINN GETTING STEFFY TO COME FROM PARIS ON HOPE AND LIAMS WEDDING DAY THEY WOULD BE TOGETHER AND QUINN WOULDN’T BE A PROBLEM. HOPE FELL TODAY AND LIAMS ON THE WAY BUT QUINNS THERE TOO AND I HOPE SHE GETS THE BLAME FOR IT. LIAM WOULDN’T HAVE STEFFY BACK ANYWAY WAIT UNTIL HE FINDS OUT IT’S HIS BABY UNLESS BELL DON’T DO LIKE I THINK HE IS AND HOPE OR THE SURVIVE THE FALL.
I couldn’t be more happier about this. My favorite female character on the show back to share the screen with my favorite male on the show (Liam)…It’s B&B gravy for me. I just hope she will get to go back on contract, and make this stay a lot longer. Us Steam fans are very thirsty over here. Lol
NOT IF BELL WANTS HIS RATINGS TO CONTINUE BECAUSE NOBODY WANTS HER BACK.
I so agree. I loved the love story created for Liam and Hope and have been waiting to finally see them get back together. It was a beautiful love story until the character of Steffy came along. With the departure of Kim Matula I don’t care to watch any longer. I couldn’t stand the character of Steffy and now I know I will never watch the B&B again with the return of her character. Just glad I started watching other soaps about a year ago that I find far more interesting and no triangles involved. I enjoy good s/l’s along with romance, but B&B is nothing but boring triangles.
For the love of God, dont start another triangle between those two dipsh*t Spencer brothers.
Steffie was always a favorite of mine. Could not have better news. Much better character than Hope.
NO I DON’T WANT HER TO COME BACK. THE FAN’S HAVE ASKED FOR HOPE AND LIAM BUT THE WRITERS LET US THINK OH YEAH FINALLY AND THEN JERK IT AWAY FROM US.KIM IS LEAVING WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH HOPE AND THE BABY, I GUESS SINCE SHE FELL TODAY THEN THERE WON’T BE A RECAST OF HOPE BECAUSE THE FALL WILL HAVE KILLED HER AND THE BABY RIGHT? I’VE WATCHED THIS SHOW FROM DAY ONE, DO YOU KNOW JUST HOW MANY WOMEN HAVE CRIED OVER HOPE AND LIAM? I’M DONE I’LL START WATCHING LAW AND ORDER!!!
So excited to hear this wonderful news! Steffy is back!! Happy dance!
Makes you wonder if there was a problem between those two!
well if Steffy comes back I will STOP watching the show, i was so glad when she left the show,not happy she is coming back. i have watched the show since day one,but i am so done…
glad she’s coming back will miss hope
I also am tired of the triangles in this show, move on with something else, Brook has always been just a pretty ho, glad she is gone. This show needs something good I it, or someone good. Hope’s almost as bad with two men. Tired of it!!!
I also have watched this show and Y & R since the day they both aired. 40 years for Y&R I have watched!!!! That is a long time, if I’m still living and it’s still on the air, I’ll probably still be watching it, don’t know so much about B & B.
I mean for the next 10 or 20 years.
God I hope not, I will NOT watch if she returns.
I wish she would have stayed gone for good!
Will love to see Steffy back. I hope she has grown and will not become another love triangle with Liam, and Ivy. So very tired of these Love Triangles. Come on writers, add other plots. Let’s have some wars between the Logans , Spencers, and Forresters, for takeovers of the businesses. Something other than these constant love triangles that only hurt and destroy. Loosing of babies is just wrong and not what people want to see.
I agree, I am very tired of the love triangles too. I am so glad Hope is gone, she was very boring and I do love that Steffy is back, she was live and spunky. Leave Liam with Ivy. And please stop this cry baby Rick and make him grow up. Tired of his crap already too. Ridge, got to lighten him up and have some fun…I love the man that plays the part, but man he is playing such an aweful boring part. Come B&B, you really need to spruce up the show and leave all these triangles alone, you done drove it in the ground.
I am thrilled to see Steffy back on B & B. Love to see her with Wyatt !!! They share the same love for life . Happy to see that Brooke & Brooke Jr are gone. They took up too much air time. Hate the Caroline / Ridge storyline. The whole mother/daughter saga makes me ill . B & B did a great job destroying the beautiful Katie & Ridge lovestory. Kaye is dull without Katie. Send him back to the East coast. Happy New Year !!!
Not another steffie love for liam please writer do something else anything but this same bull with sfeffie and liam she left him move on and let Ivy and liam stay together it’s like going back to same mess. Hate to see her come back and wanted liam.

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.
