Bold and the Beautiful puts Steffy Forrester smack dab in the middle of the main storyline, with Liam Spencer having one foot in the grave on the CBS soap. So, to say she plays an important part in Liam’s fate is likely an understatement. But something is about to change for the Forrester daughter.

Bold and the Beautiful: Where Is Steffy Forrester Headed?

Bold and the Beautiful has painted Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) into a corner. She not only has a big part in Liam’s death watch, but she also has a potential role in shaking things up when it comes to Finn’s (Tanner Novlan) crazy daughter.

But soon Steffy Forrester will get plucked off the screen of The Bold and the Beautiful, so how is that going to look? Jacqueline is pregnant with her fifth child, and no matter what plot thickens, Steffy won’t be around to play her part in it.

So, how is the soap about to explain the disappearance of Steffy Forrester, especially in the middle of Liam supposedly checking out?

B&B Spoilers: Liam Spencer’s Support Person?

In the past, when Steffy took time off from Bold and the Beautiful, she usually headed overseas. Sometimes she works from the FC branch in Paris, and other times she hangs out, getting over some pain or trauma in her life.

While Bold and the Beautiful certainly has enough fuel to spark a fire that Steffy would need to flee, she couldn’t possibly leave Liam on his deathbed. So, maybe this time Steffy takes flight with Liam Spencer, but not for anything romantic. Instead, maybe that miracle that fans still think will happen… pops up.

It is always possible that Finn or one of his colleagues ends up finding a doctor who is willing to operate on his inoperable tumor. And with Finn’s blessing, Steffy Forrester could go along as Liam’s support person.

It is likely Steffy would be Liam’s first choice for a person to accompany him if a cure is half a world away. And since Finn has been the understanding husband through all of this, he could encourage Steffy to go be there for Liam.

Bold and the Beautiful: Steffy Needs to Think About Her Fate… Again?

Bold and the Beautiful could brew up a storm anytime now for Steffy with Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) hovering around Finn. Plus, Luna made it clear a few times when talking to her lunatic grandmother, Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown), that Steffy Forrester is in her way.

So it would take no time for the wicked grandmother and granddaughter to whip up a plan to fix Steffy, so she could flee for her safety. Or Finn can’t make up his mind at one point whether he can let Luna go after his murderous daughter hounds him enough. Then Steffy might take off to Paris to clear her head on Bold and Beautiful.

But the biggest problem with this is… Steffy wouldn’t leave while Liam is dying. So, this might mean Liam dies, and Steffy’s time off the screen may be explained by her going across the ocean to give both her and her daughter, Kelly Spencer (Sophia Paras McKinlay), time to heal from their horrific loss.

Then again, maybe that miracle fix for Liam comes soon, and the trip could be about Steffy Forrester getting away from some awful stuff going on with Luna and Sheila. This is Bold and the Beautiful, so anything can happen.

B&B: Running Out of Time for Steffy?

With Jacqueline announcing she was seven months pregnant back in March, it stands to reason (and math) that she’s about to give birth anytime now. Since she is out on maternity leave waiting for the birth, the CBS soap has likely already filmed the event that causes Steffy’s departure from the screen.

Some reports indicate that Bold and the Beautiful scripted an event to explain her departure, one that fans aren’t expecting. But they don’t go into detail. So all we can do until then is wonder if Steffy leaves in anger, fear, sadness, or as a companion to a dying ex who makes a last-ditch effort to save his life with a miracle cure overseas on this CBS soap.
