Steffy is bound to leave The Bold and the Beautiful. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is pregnant with her fifth child and will take maternity leave. We can’t help but wonder what will drive her alter ego away from town.
Carrying The Show On Her Back
Steffy has been carrying the show on her back lately. She was involved in the storyline centered around the Forrester Creations coup attempted by Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) and Hope (Annika Noelle). Then, there was the whole Luna (Lisa Yamada) situation. Steffy learned that Finn (Tanner Novlan) is the cold-blooded killer’s biological father. We initially assumed this news would break up Sinn as we know it, but they’re still going strong.
Now, there’s a new storyline involving Liam (Scott Clifton). He lashed out at his father, Bill (Don Diamont), for releasing Luna onto the residents of Los Angeles. After Bill left his house, Liam fell and hit his head on the coffee table. Steffy found him and called 911 before it was too late. That’s when they learned there was blood in Liam’s brain and skull area.
But wait, there’s more. Liam is dying. One of the medical tests revealed a mass in his brain that’s both incurable and inoperable. On the Tuesday, April 22 episode, Steffy reveals this grim news to Liam. Once again, she’s enmeshed in another storyline. But how will her character escape the stress and pressures of L.A. life?
Reaches Breaking Point?
It’ll be time for MacInnes Wood to go on maternity leave. That makes us wonder about Steffy’s exit. (Find out more about Steffy’s B&B exit theories.) Whenever MacInnes Wood went on maternity leave in the past, they sent Steffy away on a trip. It was initially assumed that she would leave because of Finn’s relationship with Luna. But he’s remained true to his word by this point.
It’s possible that she could leave with Liam to help him get the medical help he needs. It’s also possible that he could need treatment in Europe, which would take place off-camera. There’s also speculation that Clifton could exit the soap. Steffy might not adjust to losing Liam forever, which could send her to a mental health facility in Europe.
What are your thoughts on Steffy’s potential exit? Do you think she’ll leave because of Finn or because of Liam? Or do you think something else will send her packing her bags? Let us know in the comments.
