TL;DR: Los Angeles, September 10, 2025 — It’s official: Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) has returned to The Bold and the Beautiful after maternity leave.

The actress, who has portrayed the resilient fashionista since 2008, is back in front of the camera—and in the hot seat of daytime drama—just in time for the show’s 39th season launch, filming now in the brand-new Sunset Las Palmas studio.

A Growing Cast Off-Screen

Off-screen, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood has been busy building her own little dynasty. She and husband Elan Ruspoli are already parents to four sons—Rise (2019), Lenix (2021), Brando (2022), and Valor (2023)—and welcomed baby No. 5 earlier this year. While she has kept the newest arrival under wraps, fans are guessing: is baby No. 5 yet another boy…or maybe the first girl?

Drama Returns with Steffy Forrester

Showrunner Casey Kasprzyk took to X to share the news and an updated picture of the Finnegan family. “Excited to have Jacqueline MacInnes Wood back on set and taping her first scenes at our new studio!”

Steffy’s on-screen absence followed a tense showdown involving Luna’s (Lisa Yamada) violent attack and Liam’s (Scott Clifton) hospital arc. Now, as she returns home, viewers can expect fireworks—especially as Finn (Tanner Novlan) tries to hold the fort, and Liam edges closer to Hope (Annika Noelle).

New Studio, New Season, New Steffy

Behind the scenes, B&B has made a significant move—literally. The cast is filming in a shiny new studio at Sunset Las Palmas, a symbolic fresh start for the long-running soap. With Steffy Forrester back at the center of the action, early to mid-October episodes are sure to be must-see television.

Get ready, Bold and Beautiful fans—Steffy’s return brings romance, rebellion, and chic revenge, all wrapped up in couture and heartfelt chaos.
