How B&B Sends Off Steffy For Jacqueline MacInnes Wood's Maternity Leave
Mia Smith Because Sheila Carter has done some truly despicable things on "The Bold and the Beautiful," it's understandable that pretty much everyone lives in fear now that she's been released from prison. She can't be charged with the crimes she copped to when Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) tricked her into confessing, and it all got thrown out of court because their tactics weren't completely legal. But it's also understandable that Finn is suddenly feeling compassion for Sheila. She is his birth mother, after all, and it stands to reason that despite his logical mind knowing how dangerous she is, his emotions have gotten the better of him.
A lot has been thrown at Steffy lately between her mother, Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen), telling her to work things out with Finn, and her father, Ridge, advising her to stay away from him. She's also got the whiny "little puke" Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) — as Finn called him — tattling on her husband's every move and trying to get back together with her, despite him denying it.
And Sheila's been following Finn, even saving Steffy's daughter Kelly Spencer (Sophia McKinlay) from drowning. Sheila poking her head into their house is most likely the final straw for Steffy, and a good excuse to have her exit the show while Jacqueline MacInnes Wood goes on maternity leave. Thankfully, Wood's real life is not quite so dramatic and dangerous!
