Steffy Forrester is a fictional character on the daytime soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. Jacqueline MacInnes Wood stepped into the character in 2008 and has been portraying the role ever since. The character of Steffy Forrester has been at the centre of several major story arcs, from her complicated love life with John Finn and Liam Spencer to her business rivalry with Hope Logan.

Recently, on the soap opera, she was in a deadly story arc with Luna, who almost pulled the trigger on her. However, Liam came to her rescue and saved her. Sheila also intervened and got injured herself. This dramatic plotline laid the foundation for a plot-twisting storyline.

As seen in the previous episodes, everyone was upset because of Liam's deteriorating health, as he was diagnosed with a brain tumor that can not be operated on. However, during his recovery from the gunshot wounds, he magically also recovered from his brain tumor, thus leaving everyone in shock—especially Dr. John Finn, who handled the case with Dr. Grace Buckingham.

Steffy was relieved to find that Liam had recovered, and also that Luna couldn't make it through and is no more. This brought a sense of relief, and thus she exclaimed that she had decided to take a break, opting to spend time with her kids away from Los Angeles. On The Bold and the Beautiful episode on July 28, 2025, Steffy kissed her husband Finn goodbye and told him that she and the kids would miss him.
