Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Reveals How Steffy Really Feels About Firing Hope on Bold and the Beautiful

Steffy made a mistake by firing Hope on The Bold and the Beautiful. She didn’t give Hope time to explain herself. But Steffy was convinced that Hope was hitting on her man. She willingly gave her the pink slip and axed Hope for the future. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood spoke out about the controversial firing. She revealed whether Steffy is having any second thoughts and teased what she feels about her father’s unexpected support.

Post-Firing Regret?

In her interview with Soaps.com, MacInnes Wood weighed in on the matter. She believes that Steffy thinks the situation “totally justifies the means.” Her character won’t have any regrets, even when she eventually learns that Hope (Annika Noelle) wasn’t waiting for Finn (Tanner Novlan) in sexy lingerie. 

There will be a time when Steffy learns about Hope’s relationship with Carter (Lawrence-Saint Victor). She’ll finally put the pieces together and see why Carter has been a big fan of Hope for the Future.

MacInnes Wood teased that there will be a “big and very intense moment” that will be packed with “lots of twists,” some of which even Steffy don’t expect.

Father Knows Best

Steffy also wishes she could send Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) out the door. “I would be lying if I said no,” MacInnes Wood said. However, she should blame her father, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), for starting the Logan-Forrester war. But she willingly supports him no matter what. 

MacInnes Wood suggested that “deep down, Steffy only blames Brooke—for everything.” She also believes that her onscreen persona is over the moon about having her father’s support with the firing. She added, “She feels very grounded and very strong as co-CEO with Ridge’s support.”

Eric (John McCook) tried to convince Steffy to reconsider her decision. The B&B star explained that while Steffy respects her grandfather, she is still the spitting image of her grandmother and will never back down on her decisions.
