THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy Decides to Leave Finn and Liam Behind; Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Makes Her Exit
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.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Steffy Tells Carter She’s Pregnant, But He Has a Way ‘Out of This Situation For All of Us’
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. However, could there be a twist down the line that it’s really Finn’s (Tanner Novlan)?
On Friday’s episode, Carter gets a text from his wife, Daphne (Murielle Hilaire) telling him she wants to talk more about surrogacy later, since she cannot carry Carter’s child, and the couple was exploring ways for them to have a baby. Suddenly, Carter flashes back to waking up next to Steffy on the couch in the office after they had sex the night before in their drunken stupor.

CARTER DEVISES A PLAN
Then, Steffy comes whirling into the office demanding to talk to Carter right away. Steffy is informing Carter that she has to tell Finn about their night together more than ever! A confused Carter asked her what changed, when they agreed to keep their one night together a secret? Carter tells her if she reveals what happened between them, it will tear about all of their lives.
Carter thinks nothing will come of their “mistake” if they keep their mouth shut. Steffy responds, “You’re wrong.” She goes on to explain that she’s pregnant! That declaration stuns Carter and we fade to black.
However, it was the preview for the action next week on The Bold and the Beautiful, that aired at the end of Friday’s episode and is now all over B&B’s social media that is the real tell-tale sign of where this story is heading.
B&B SPOILERS
In a scene airing next week, Carter says to Steffy, “I have a way out of the situation for all of us!” This comes on the heels of Daphne telling Carter she wishes she knew someone who would be their surrogate. So, putting two and two together, it looks like Carter will come up with the idea to pass Steffy and his baby off as the surrogate child of Carter and Daphne.
Look no further than the official B&B spoilers for episodes airing Monday, September 14- Friday, September 18 and the teaser lines of the Steffy/Carter baby drama to back that up below.

On Wednesday, September 16, Carter makes a passionate plea. and by Thursday, September 17, Daphne can’t believe Carter’s suggestion. Then come Cliffhanger Friday, September 18, Steffy is caught off guard.

General Hospital
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.
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?
