Two-time Daytime Emmy-winner, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy), brought the tears and the heartache to her last performance before her maternity leave on Thursday episode of The Bold and the Beautiful.

Unable to deal with Sheila’s (Kimberlin Brown) constant presence in Finn’s (Tanner Novlan) life, Steffy makes a shocking move and tells Finn, she loves him, but she cannot live like this anymore, nor will she put her kids through it.  Steffy comes to the realization that as long as she is with Finn, Sheila will always be looming and a threat to her and her family.

In a tearful goodbye, Steffy tells Finn, she has decided to go to Europe and she is taking Kelly and Hayes with her. Sobbing over her decision, Steffy explains to her husband, “Sheila’s never going to let you go.”  However, Finn vows to make sure Sheila stays away and never bothers them again. Steffy says he can’t make that promise.

Next, when Finn offers to come with Steffy and the kids, she is emphatic that no matter where in the world Finn is, Sheila will find him.  Finn asks Steffy to please keep their love alive while he finds a way to rid the earth of Sheila. Steffy tells Finn that he’ll always be in her heart. Finn vows they will be together again.

Later, Steffy drops by Liam’s office at Spencer Publications to inform him of her decision. She is leaving Los Angeles, and taking their daughter Kelly with her. Steffy’s decision is based on protecting her kids from Sheila and feeling like she has no other choice.  While Liam is gut-punched, that Steffy is leaving town, he is supportive, and thinks it’s a good idea to be as far away from Sheila as possible.

Steffy tells Liam that Finn is not coming with her, because if he did, Sheila would follow. As they say their goodbyes, Liam tells Steffy she’s a really good mom. He hints that he can come visit her and the kids, and ends his time with Steffy expressing, “I really love you and I always will.” The two exes then hug it out.

Meanwhile, Sheila was hoping that Steffy would go as far away from Finn as possible, and even go so far as to try to push her to go back to Liam, just so she has a clear pathway to Finn.  But with Steffy’s latest move, has Shelia won after all with her daughter-in-law out of the picture? Stay tuned.

The episode provided Steffy’s exit story while Jacqui goes on maternity leave.  Earlier this week, Wood revealed that she recently gave birth to her fourth son, Valor, back on August 27th,  No word on how long Jacqui will be gone from B&B, but when she does reappear, it looks like we will be getting “Finn vs. Liam for the love of Steffy” round 2, or will we?

What did you think of Steffy’s decision and her goodbyes to Liam and Finn? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.  But first watch, Steffy’s farewell to Liam.

Zzzzzzz. I’d rather watch more scenes between RJ & Eric. BTW, whatever happened to Quinn? Did she go up to the attic to fetch her skis? #AMC

Please have Stepffy kick Liam to the curb. He has always treated Stepffy like dirt. He only wants her back until he gets her and then he’ll go running back to Hope and break Steffys heart all over again. He certainly doesn’t know what he wants.

Agree. No Steffy and Liam. No Hope and Liam.

LIAM needs to stay away from Steffy! She is married to Finn! I can not Stand Liam waffling! Ironic he can’t forgive Hope? Interesting he was kissing A married women Steffy even After she told him she loved HER husband! Liam had become such a Creep! HOPE said there was always 3 in their marriage! Thomas has changed to be a good guy and really Loves only Hope! Let them be together as a real family, leave Liam totally out!

The Sheila stuff is a boring one-note broken record. And watching Liam/Puke whine EVERY day to poor Wyatt who deserves a real storyline of his own is getting unbearable. Thank heavens this show is only 30 minutes.

I agree with you Darla. I could never understand what the great attraction in Liam was or is. However you want to phrase it He is such a whimp. I hope they don’t shove him to Rome with Steffy. Fin ismuch more of a man. I am also enjoying Eric and RJ, even though RJ annoys me at times. I can’t stand the fact that Ridge is trying to kick Eric to the curb so he can take over He sickens me. They should have put Shelia in jail Enough is enough

Ridge and Bill let their Egos get in the way. They interferred and now Sheila is free “because of them” and they have no remorse about it. Ridge running to Liam is pathetic. Why would you want your daugther with Liam. They should have had better security that Sheila could not even show up at the beach house.

I fast forward Liam .. if I lived with him it would have been over long ago. I would not live with a waffler. Married 48 years to the same one wonderful person.

Ridiculous! They could have come up with a different way for her to take maternity leave instead of running every time things get tough in her marriages.

I agree with many comments get rid of sheila a reveal Lim’s@two faced. Dont let Steffy fall for his line let her see what he is trying to do hurt by Hope running back to steffy. Let steffy see that he will always be back a d forth if there are any problems in his marriage. He always runs from problems she .needs a man like finn that doesnt run stands and fight and fights becuz of his true undivided love for one woman not a shared love. Let hope stay with Thomas she deserves more than Liam. Let everyone see what he is doing and let steffy tell him she wants fiin not him and he needs to respect that and move on he is sickening and its sickrning to see anyone agree with him
Wyatt needs to tell him to back off steffy instead of agree. where are you going? its sickening to watch liam and sheila. Everyone should understand what zHope went thru with liam trying to hold on to her and steffy the nerve of him trying to lead both women lives making decisions for them

Thomas told him right.
He should be left alone.and just realize steffy is history and leave her in the past
He didnt think of her when he left her for Hope

Your need to find another way for steffy to go on leave. She souldnt haveeft finn like that . They should’ve come together and she left for a while and give finn a chance to work out a way to ger sheila out of his life and let liam know its only temporary. and he is not welcome to interfere. Becuz sheila can start following him if she wants to find out where steffy is. Everything sounds dumb.

Todays episode what was Brooke wearing ??? I hate that KA /Taylor got the treatment she did now I understand why HT said no thanks to coming back . Bill Bell loved the character of Taylor I hate how Brad destroyed her and sorry I won’t miss Steffy . Don Diamont is being wasted but yet he sings Brads praises so why should viewers care or sympathize

Liam is such awhimp and I can’t stand to watch. This entire show is full full.

Steffy needs to forget about Liam and be truthful to her husband and liam needs to go back to his wife or dissappear

I think steffy is taking this to FAR, I mean usually you can relocate with your family, I mean come on steffy be for real. Your sad!!!!

I don’t want to see Liam with Stefy ,Finn is a true partner who loves her. Liam is a big baby he belongs with Hope. Liam can’t make up his mind very immature. Please get Sheila out of the picture she is crazy as ever.

Steffy isn’t much of a woman if she will let Shelia dictate her life. For someone who was so “DEVESTATED” when she thought Fin died, she sure is throwing him to the curb!! Fin deserves a real woman someone who will fight for her marriage not run away all the time!! Then again she is Taylor’s daughter so!! And to see Fin & Liam fighting over horse faced Steffy is disgusting!! Hope might stay with Thomas. Or maybe she should go after FIN since Steffy throwing her man away over Shelia!!

This is awful. She is my favorite.

That was good stephy left as sick as Sheila is I’d leave for my kids but there stupid yelling everyone where she went you know Brooks big mouth will tell Deacon and he’ll tell Sheila that’s where the soaps crazy I would tell anyone. Stephy has 22 weeks maternity leave so now they need to kill Sheila off .
Sheila’s story line is the same old sick twisted story as well as whomp Liam story has really tan it’s course!
Another wedding for Brook gag me that’s become boring.
Find a new story line for Liam’s Dad and Brother need something new and fresh 39 mins of whining getting old……

so sick of Liam and Sheila. and far as steffy goes I thought she was suppose to be sooooooooo in love with finn. don’t look like it to me. she needs to get over herself.

No way I would have left my home and Finn running from Shelia. Carter doesn’t know how to put restraining orders on Shelia? Finn needs to get some blood test to see if Shelia really is his mother. Shelia is notorious for stealing babies and switching babies. Brooke is probably glad Steffy is gone. Hope is just like her mom. She’ll probably get with Thomas or some other man.

She need to tell Liam she love her husband

I’m so tired of the triangle between Liam hope + stuffy. Stop the madness already! Finn is an amazing change. I’m seriously debating leaving your show behind

Please get sheila off the show. The story is boring and it’s the same thing over and over with her. I fast forward when she comes on and I quit watch as much.

General Hospital

Could Kristen Vaganos and Josh Kelly Be Exiting ‘General Hospital?’

Published

Josh and Kristen

General Hospital fans took to social media following the airing of the Wednesday, October 21 episode of the ABC daytime drama series. In story, Molly (Kristen Vaganos) reveals to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) that she has received an offer to join the top law firm in Chicago that practices civil law. She says it’s her dream job.

The problem Molly says is relocating from Port Charles and uprooting her life and being away from her mother, Scout and boyfriend Cody Bell (Josh Kelly). Wistful that she may lose another daughter to a long-distance situation (Kristina left a few months back to go to medical school in California), Alexis urged Molly to get Cody to go with her.

Molly still seemed concerned and has trouble committing to the idea. Alexis tells her to talk it over with Cody. Meanwhile, Cody asked Tracy (Jane Elliot) is he can have Thanksgiving off because he and Molly planned to spend Thanksgiving together with their families. After initially balking, Tracy agrees.

WILL MOLLY AND CODY HEAD TO CHI-TOWN?

Later, Cody shows up at Miller & Davis and the conversation turned to Thanksgiving dinner that Alexis is hosting. Molly and Cody asked her not to cook anything. Cody hugged Molly reassuring Alexis that he and Molly would take care of whatever was needed on Turkey Day.

So, this raises the question, why out of nowhere are we learning that Molly received an amazing law offer in Chicago, if the character was not being written out? If Molly leaves the canvas, would the character of Cody make his exit too?

Kristen Vaganos joined GH as a recast Molly Lansing-Davis back in September of 2023 and went on contract in August of 2024. Josh Kelly began playing Cody Bell back in June of 2022. Initial reports were that Kelly joined the show on contract and then as of June 2025 went on recurring status with the show per his choice.

Do you see a world where GH is writing out Molly and Cody? Would you be sad to see Kristen and Josh exit the soap opera? If this is not what is going on, is this just a plot point for some other story that is upcoming? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Adam Delivers Sally’s Baby as Billy Reels from Jill’s Health Crisis in Tearjerker Episode

Published

Billy, Sally and Adam

The Tuesday, October 20 episode saw The Young and the Restless deliver some deeply-poignant moments in the aftermath of Billy (Jason Thompson) and Sally’s (Courtney Hope) wedding.

The scenes which will be talked about for some time to come, because of how they can impact longterm story, had Adam (Mark Grossman) being the one to deliver Billy and Sally’s baby, while Billy was gut-punched by a phone call from Snapper Foster that Jill had suffered a heart attack in London.

In story, while up in Sally’s room at the GCAC, wishing his ex all the happiness, (because Adam and Billy have no love lost, and he didn’t want to cause waves), Sally’s water broke. In true soapy fashion, all phones were dead. Sally’s phone was missing because it was with Audra (Zuleyka Silver), Adam’s battery ran out etc. Prior to that, Adam did try to call Billy, but Billy did not pick up his calls, as he was with Cane (Billy Flynn) coming to terms with the news on Jill.

TORN BETWEEN RUNNING TO HIS MOTHER OR HIS NEW WIFE AND BABY

Now in the perfect storm of circumstances, Adam is the one to help Sally deliver her baby when she begged him to stay with er screaming, “Please don’t make me do this alone!” Adam reminded Sally that he’d already delivered a baby twice before. She assured him that it will be OK, and not to be scared, because this isn’t the same set of circumstances when she lost their daughter, Ava, during childbirth.

Downstairs, Billy is in tears over his mother. So too is Cane. Cane speaks to Jill on the phone when Snapper holds the phone to her while at her hospital bed. He tells her he loves her. Billy cannot bring himself to talk to his mom.

Cane decides he will go to London. Billy doesn’t know what to do with a new wife and a baby on the way. It’s clear how much losing Jill would devastate Billy. Cane tells Lily (Christel Khalil) what has happened to Jill, and Billy informs Jack (Peter Bergman) before he tries to find his bride who is upstairs in her room.

A NEW ABBOTT

Back in Sally’s room, eventually Adam asks Sally (who is deep in labor), if she thought she was having a girl or boy, and she said a boy. But then, Adam introduced her to her “beautiful, perfect baby girl.” It was a moment laced with so much history for Adam and Sally and Adam and Billy, when you think of the deaths of Ava and Deliah.

As Sally cradled her newborn little bundle of joy, Adam went to go get Billy at her request, and as he made his way to the door, Billy was standing there. Billy is stunned to see his rival standing, but then Sally tells Billy to meet his daughter!

Billy rushes to the bedside to be my his new wife and daughter, with the heartbreaking final shot of Adam emotionally overcome thinking of the baby he has lost with Sally. and how he wishes things could have turned out differently in a bittersweet moment.

Steffy and Finn

On the Monday, October 19 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, after Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) stammering around and trying to find a way to couch her lie to her husband, Finn (Tanner Novlan), she finally admits what she has been dreading telling him.

But not before, Finn and Steffy rehash Monaco, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), and how it was turning point in their lives (that’s an understatement) with Finn reiterating, “Our marriage is precious. What we have is pure and true.”

Finn promises Sheila is out of their lives for good, and Steffy chokes back tears saying how she wished she hadn’t removed her ring and hightailed it out of Monaco. She says she wishes she could take that back, but she can’t.

Steffy tells Finn she has a lot to say. Finn tells her there is nothing they can’t overcome. Steffy says she made a significant decision while he was away. She goes to to say what a great friend Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) has been to her. Finn asks if Daphne and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) are still interviewing to find a surrogate? Steffy says they found someone and the process has begun, and its “me.”

Finn gulps, “What do you mean it’s you?” Steffy eeks out of her mouth, “I agreed to be Daphne and Carter’s surrogate.” Finn, who is a doctor no less says, “I don’t understand!” He explains he knows there is a list of medical and legal hurdles someone has to go through before a woman can become a surrogate for a couple. He also tells Steffy he knows she could never carry a child and give it up.

Next, Finn tells Steffy she’s wonderful for considering to do this for Carter and Daphne, but she’ll have to tell them no. Steffy says it’s too late. That while he was out of town they went ahead with the procedure. Finn asks, “What procedure?” Steffy responds, “The fertilization of the eggs.” Finn learns they used Steffy’s frozen eggs and did the implantation and loses it!

“I can’t believe you went and did that! This isn’t something a wife does when their husband is out of town on a business trip,” hollers Finn. He cannot believe what he is hearing and that his wife just went and did this without him! He pushes back on Steffy. demanding answers, “There’s more going on here. What is it? Steffy? Tell me!” We fade to black.

You can check out the pivotal scene between Finn and Steffy below.

Now weigh-in: are you glad Finn is as of now not being a doofus? That he is pushy back on Steffy? Do you think Steffy will continue with this lie or admit she slept with Carter and became pregnant? Either way, would Finn stay with his wife while she became a surrogate for Carter and Daphne? Let us know in the comment section.
