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: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?
We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!
B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.
On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.
At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.
When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.
So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.
What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.

THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Nick Confesses His Drug Problem to Victor; Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman, Eric Braeden Bring the Newman Bond
When The Young and the Restless can deliver an emotional side to their stories and their family dynamics, it usually makes for some great scenes delivered by their A-list cast.
Such was the case on the Friday, May 1 episode when Adam (Mark Grossman) and Nick (Joshua Morrow) returned to Genoa City and gave their father, Victor Newman (Eric Braeden), an update on what had gone down with Matt Clark (Roger Howarth) in Las Vegas.
As Victor questioned, “What the hell happened?” Nick piped up, “We both made mistakes along the way, but we’re here now and we’re sorry for giving you so much worry on top of everything else that you’re dealing with,” which was in reference to Victor trying to reclaim his company Newman Enterprises et al.

NICK’S CONFESSION
Next, Nick, explains one of the ways he messed up while trying to go after Matt Clark, when he admitted to this father with tears in his eyes, “That’s one of the ways I messed up … I took Fentanyl willingly. Some of it was because of Matt, but most of it was on me. I was in a lot of pain, dad, after my accident, I was burning through my prescription meds really quickly after I left the hospital. I could see that it was becoming a problem. But honestly, I thought that I could manage it. I was wrong. I was out in LA and Matt had taken Noah (Lucas Adams) and Sienna (Tamara Braun) and he gave me this bag of pills and said I could use it to trade for information. When I went out to that drug warehouse, he was trying to convince me and Sharon (Sharon Case) that Noah was a drug addict. I just put the pills in my pocket of my jacket and I came back to Genoa City and I was in a lot of pain, dad, and I was wearing that jacket. I put my hands in the pocket and the pills were there.”
Nick sadly added, “I was desperate. I couldn’t get anymore prescription meds, so I took the fentanyl I’m deeply ashamed that I was so weak, but all I can do is stand here and tell you the truth that I’m going to make this right and I’ll get better.”
BROTHER TO BROTHER
Adam stood up for his brother and reconfirmed to Victor the plan for help Nick through his pill addiction, “Nick is already on his way to doing that. Sharon has set up an appointment with an outpatient facility. He’s going to do the meetings and he’s going to push through this better than ever.”

Courtesy/CBS
“You should also know that the only reason I’m standing here is because of Adam,” Nick confessed to Victor. “Every time I fell, you were there to pick me up. You risked your life to save me, and that’s not something I will ever forget.”
In the climatic and emotional ending of the scene, Nick in tears admits his shame to his dad, who comes in to give him hug. Nick says, “I’m so sorry. I know that this is the last thing you or this family needs.”
All three actors, Joshua Morrow, Mark Grossman and Eric Braeden, were excellent in this exchange in their scenes, but at its epicenter continues to be the Emmy-worthy performances by Y&R MVP, Joshua Morrow. Nick’s heartbreaking journey and fall from grace with his pill addiction problem has finally shown the clinks in the armor of the man who is always on the ready to help others … now he needs to let others help him through this. Can we do it?
So, what did you think of the scenes between the Newman man featuring Joshua, Mark and Eric on the Friday episode of Y&R? And though who watched also know that at the very end, Matt Clark who clearly has been injured wakes up from being conked out, so there is more revenge to come on the Newman clan. Share your thoughts below, but take a look at these scenes from a Canadian viewers who saw them air yesterday.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.
