Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is ready to step back into the shoes of heiress Steffy Forrester Finnegan as the actress returns to The Bold and the Beautiful after going on maternity leave earlier this year.
As revealed by supervising producer Casey Kaspryzk on X on Tuesday (September 9), Wood is now back on set and filming new episodes. “Excited to have Jacqueline MacInnes Wood back on set and taping her first scenes at our new studio!” Kaspryzk wrote alongside a photo of the Steffy and John “Finn” Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) family.
Wood has portrayed Steffy on and off since 2008 and will be returning to the soap amid a scandal for the Forrester and Spencer families. As reported by Parade, Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) is set to instigate a plan involving Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) that will significantly impact the lives of Steffy and Finn and others.
Fans flooded the comments section with excitement over Wood’s return, with one commenter writing, “She looks great. & it’s so good to see the Sinn Family all together again!”
