The Bold and the Beautiful’s Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) has been out of town for months, and it’s time for her to come back home.
After Luna (Lisa Yamada) nearly killed her again, Steffy needed a break from the Los Angeles chaos. However, recent events have made it clear that the character’s return is on the horizon.

Steffy’s The Bold and the Beautiful Return Is Happening
The good news for Steffy fans is that the actress is back on set filming. As Parade reported, Wood returned to filming the CBS soap in September.
Producer Casey Kasprzyk shared a photo of Steffy back with her husband Finn (Tanner Novlan), Hayes (Bryan David Garlick), and Kelly (Sophia Parras McKinley). It was a family photo to get The Bold and the Beautiful fans psyched for Steffy’s return.

Based on when Kasprzyk posted the picture on X, Steffy should be back on-screen any day, as The Bold and the Beautiful films anywhere from four to six weeks in advance.
Adding more fuel to the fire that Steffy will be seen soon, is her family learning that Luna is really alive.
Luna recently revealed her not-so-dead self to her bio dad Finn. There was also Taylor (Rebecca Budig) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) talking about Luna being alive and the impact it will have on Steffy.
In true soap fashion, Ridge and Taylor being grateful Steffy was away for the time being means she’ll likely mark her return soon.
Based on how far in advance the show films and what we’re seeing pan out on-screen, it’s likely Steffy will be back in the mix in the next week or two. However, The Bold and the Beautiful is keeping the date under wraps, though likely for storyline reasons.

Why Did Steffy Leave ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’?
The last time Steffy was seen on screen was on July 28, when the character said goodbye to Finn before she took off on an extended trip. There was a very good reason Steffy was temporarily written out the show.
In real life, Wood needed to go on maternity leave after revealing earlier this year that she was pregnant with her fifth child with Elan Ruspoli. The actress hasn’t shared any information about the baby, including the date of birth.
Life is going to look a lot different for Steffy when she returns to The Bold and the Beautiful. Li (Naomi Matsuda) keeping Luna alive has had a dramatic ripple effect, and neither Finn nor Steffy has found out what she did yet.
Along with the Luna drama waiting for her, Steffy will have to deal with the fact that Ridge not only dumped Taylor again, but he literally married Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) the same day.
It’s not going to be the welcome home Steffy wanted, but it sets the stage for an interesting storyline that’s for sure.
The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS.
