In the latest episode of The TV Watercooler Podcast, I catch up with Canadian actress Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, who plays Steffy Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood opens up about Steffy’s trauma and triumphs, including: 

-  Steffy’s recent kidnapping ordeal and how there’s always potential for her to explore these past traumas and their impact on her future

- Steffy’s fierce personality and protectiveness – not just for her family, but also at Forrester Creations

- How Steffy’s rivalry with Hope was re-ignited following Hope’s kiss with Finn and if she’ll be furious when she finds out about Hope and Carter

- How thrilled Steffy is to have her mom Taylor (now played by Rebecca Budig) home and how devastated she’ll be when she finds out about her illness

- How Steffy’s embracing her namesake and is finally comfortable with who she is

- If she’d ever rule out playing Phoebe!

- How Steffy is finally at peace with Finn and feels safe with him 

The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CTV and CBS. Canadians can also stream B&B on CTV.ca, and the CTV app.
