THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Sheila Gaslights Steffy as Jacqueline MacInnes Woods On-Air Maternity Leave to Begin
Friday’s cliffhanger and recap of The Bold and the Beautiful, sets the stage of Jacqueline MacInnes Woods (Steffy) exit story. The actress is going on her maternity leave from the show.
Here’s where we are and went down: At the cliff house, Steffy tells Finn (Tanner Novlan) she wants to come back home. The couple are reconciling after Steffy lost trust in Finn, for not being able to protect her, or her children, from his mother, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown). Finn’s so sorry he lost her trust, but assures that their little family comes first.
Elsewhere, Sheila tells Deacon (Sean Kanan), she’s tired of feeling like her life is on hold and she’s going to do something to change that stating, “I’m going to make it happen today!” That comment puts the fear of God in Deacon.
Back at the cliff house, Finn tells Steffy what a hell it was without her. He goes on to ensure Steffy that he can protect her and the kids and vows that she’ll never have to deal with Sheila, ever, ever, ever again. (Right?) The two start to have ‘sexy time’ with each other, but as they make out, Steffy notices a shadowy figure outside the patio doors. Steffy gasps that it’s Sheila. Steffy screams, “She’s here! She’s here! Sheila’s here!” We fade to black.
Now, in their latest issue, Soap Opera Digest is reporting that next Thursday, September 7th will mark the last airdate Jacquline MacInnes Wood will be seen in upcoming episodes for awhile. The actress will be on her scheduled maternity leave from that point on – meaning Steffy will be temporarily off-screen.

However, Steffy won’t leave before a major confrontation with Sheila goes down. But once she’s spotted stalking Steffy, Woods told SOD to look for Finn to go after his mother.
Woods detailed, “Steffy is in disbelief at Finn’s decision to confront Sheila when she tries to flee. Finn says, ‘he’ going to put an end to this once and for all.'” That is when Steffy and Sheila face-off.
So, what do you think about this temporary exit story for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood? Are you rooting for Finn. or Liam, to be the hero or are you Team Sheila? Share your thoughts in the comment section, but first check out the final moments from Friday’s B&B cliffhanger.
Enough of Liam PLEASE
I think a perfect storyline would be that Finn turns out to be just like Sheila. I thought we were getting a hint of it when he couldn’t take responsibility with his connection with Sheila.
Please get rid of Sheila & two-faced Liam. Sick of both of them. Keep Steffy with Finn. Please!!!
I think it would be better find out that Finns mother is lauren from young and the restless and that his father is Lauren’s husband. A fantastic Lawyer
Lauren wasn’t with Michael when she was popping out babies.
Finn should start to show he has some of Sheila character in him . Tanner is a terrible actor they need to give him a storyline.
I give up this whole storyline has been a mess since it began how long ago. Sheila was in jail out of their lives then Bill and Ridge concoct this stupid plot. We all know this was a rewrite on Brads part now Taylor is no where to be seen and Ridge is back on the blame game. Reading about how bad the writing is awfully painful .
Yet here you are commenting and still watching. Its the best soap on tv!
Sick of Luke warm Liam I’m team Steffy & Finn. Finn needs to confront Sheila once & for all & Sheila needs to exit B&B
Story lines are exactly as they should be. Kudos to B&B writers. Curious though, while Steffy is away, what will Finn do (about Sheila)?? Something BIG is going to happen. One thing though…Sheila “whispers” too much…speak up girl, sort of annoying (lol)
I wish The B&B had one hour air time too
Really? Why do you keep trying to put Liam back with Stephie. The storyline is getting ridiculous and who wants to watch the same old thing over and over again keep Stephie with Finn keep Leann with hope you get tired of the bed hopping Samo Samo. If you want to stay number one better make better storylines so many of my friends have said they had giving up watching.
Get rid of Liam and Sheila
They both need metal health treatment
I’m Done ☑️ Liam is a crapshoot, Steffy deserve a real Man that would be Finn. Please get Rid of Sheila already I am sick and tired of being sick and tired I hate your storyline, The Bold & Beautiful is better than this ✌
Your not sick n tired. You keep watching because its an awesome soap. It’s number 1. The show doesn’t revolve around you, or anyone.
I can’t understand why people think it’s “awesome”, or even good. I watch out of habit but find myself fast-forwarding most of B&B lately since it’s so repetitive.
I agree that getting rid of Liam and Sheila would greatly improve the soap.
Rooting for Finn, Liam has become a pain in the ass

After taking a second pregnancy test on the Friday, September 12 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) freaks out ever more when it come back positive, too. Leading her to shriek, multiple times over, “Oh my God! Oh my God! I’m pregnant!”
As previously reported, CBS and The Bold and the Beautiful have already confirmed that in the story, the baby Steffy is carrying is Carter’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) which kicks-off their 40th season of storytelling.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason and Britt Reach an Impasse; Is This the End of Their Relationship?

On the Friday, September 11 episode of General Hospital, Jason (Steve Burton) and Britt’s (Kelly Thiebaud) relationship becomes strained to potentially the point of no return.
Things take a turn when an unglued Britt having been traumatized by almost being killed by Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) asks Jason to back her up with the PCPD when she reports Anna for attempted murder.
However, Jason told Britt, he can’t. Jason shares that he does not believe Anna would have gone through with shooting her. Therefore, Britt was not in any real imminent danger. Britt is flabbergasted and hurt that Jason is refusing to tell the police what he actually witnessed for himself on Mount Emerson.

BRITT WANTS BACK UP FROM JASON
Jason counters that he can’t believe that Britt would want Anna punished. or sent to prison, or a mental facility after the trauma she endured while being locked up and mentally tortured while at Wyndemere.
He asks Britt, “How could you even say that you want her locked up or prosecuted for what she did when you knew she was being held prisoner and you did nothing to save her?” Britt is stunned by Jason’s response.
Coming up, official General Hospital spoilers share that on the upcoming Monday, September 14 episode, Jason confides in Carly (Laura Wright), while Britt is stung. In the video preview that aired at the end of the Friday, September 11 episode for this coming Monday, Britt says to Jason, “You don’t believe me. Do you?”
General Hospital head scribes, Chris Van Etten and Elizabeth Korte previously teased in their fall preview of the soap, “Britt and Jason have come a long way and fought a lot of enemies to be together. But the most stubborn obstacle to their happiness isn’t without, it’s within. Decisions Britt made to stay alive while under Cullum’s thumb will come back to haunt her and may prove too difficult for this unlikely couple to survive.”
So, what do you think will happen? Will Jason and Britt break-up over Britt’s lies and Jason’s unwillingness to report Anna’s crime against her? Do you want Jason and Britt to go their separate ways? If they do, will Britt become romantically involved with Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) ? If so, who do you pair Jason with? Anyone? Weigh-in via the comment section.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy is Shaken to the Core, ‘Oh My God! I’m Pregnant!’

On today’s Thursday, September 10 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) discovers she’s pregnant, after taking a home pregnancy test, that will launch a new story arc that will remain front and center for the show in the months ahead.
The life-changing story kicks off the B&B’s 40th season which officially began on September 8. In it, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is the biological father of Steffy’s unborn child from their drunken night together when both endured turbulent times in their marriages.
Previously, Carter had trouble with Daphne (Murielle Hilaire), when she initially walked out on him, because she could not carrying his child. Meanwhile, Steffy broke up with Finn (Tanner Novlan) while in Monaco over Finn’s mother Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) showing up, who once tried to kill her.

Fast-forward, Carter and Steffy made a pact that no one will ever need to know about their drunken night together, but now with Steffy becoming pregnant it changes everything. Making matters all the worse, Daphne views Steffy as her best friend, in fact, Daphne and Carter have been talking about having a child via surrogacy. While Finn had showed the couple how to start the process of finding a surrogate, Daphne felt just choosing a random person to carry Carter’s child is so impersonal. She would rather have it be someone she knows.
It does not take a scientist to predict … that somehow Steffy will carry the baby pretending to be the surrogate, when she its biological mother, and along the way, the questions become, does she keep the whole thing somehow a secret to herself? Doe Carter find out at some point? Stay tuned to see how this story reveals itself.
At its root, this is a major storyline for Wood, who has already won three Daytime Emmy Lead Actress Awards in her 18 years with The Bold and the Beautiful. In that time, her character of Steffy has experienced multiple pregnancies, given birth to two children, Kelly with Liam (Scott Clifton) as the father, and Hayes with Finn as the father, and endured a miscarriage.
So, what did you think of Steffy getting confirmation she is pregnant and looking mortified when she found out? What will she do next? Will she tell Carter? Will Daphne come to Steffy to ask her to be her surrogate, which Steffy may think will be the answers to her prayers, only for the truth to come out later, or falling in love with the baby since its hers to be begin with?
