When Does Steffy Forrester Return?

The character of Steffy Forrester is badly needed on The Bold and the Beautiful.

There is no better time than now to bring back Steffy.

It has been a year since we last saw Steffy regularly on the show. After her motorcycle accident that led to the loss of her baby with Liam, we last saw a broken hearted Steffy fly off to Paris. Since then so much has changed:

• New characters Wyatt and his crazy mother Quinn Fuller have been added to the canvas to stir things up 
• Thorne’s daughter, Aly Forrester, has also been added to the show
• It is discovered that Wyatt is actually a Spencer and thus Liam’s half-brother
• Brooke and Bill’s affair become public knowledge
• Taylor, Thorne, Thomas, and Steffy are all living in Paris
• Ridge returns from Paris to LA 
• Ridge is now with Katie and Brooke is now with Bill

Now would be the perfect time to bring back Steffy. Her father is lost at sea, so naturally this would be a perfect reason for her to finally leave Paris. So much has changed within a year that if she were to be brought back she could differently shake things around and stir up some trouble. Some ideas that come to mind: 

• Steffy will always love Liam and has sacrificed her happiness so he could be with Hope and have children with her (at the time this was when Steffy was still unable to conceive). Steffy will always be a threat to Hope because Liam can’t help but gravitate towards Steffy. I’m pretty sure I can speak for everyone and say we’re all sick of Steffy/Liam/Hope triangle, but now there can be a new twist – Wyatt. Steffy could purposely pursue Wyatt thus enabling Liam and Hope being together; this would still cause conflict because Hope was already involved with Wyatt and still cares about him. I think it’s safe to say Hope wouldn’t want Liam or Wyatt with Steffy! I can already hear the Steffy haters saying Steffy always goes after Hope’s sloppy seconds; Oliver, Liam, and Wyatt

• Everyone is already mad at Quinn for sending Ridge the picture of herself and Bill in bed, thus Ridge going after Brooke in Abu Dhabi to stop the wedding which led to him falling out of the helicopter. Quinn was also the driving force of bringing Steffy back to LA, when she wasn’t ready to, in order to share the news with Liam that she can now have children again. Quinn hoped this would make Liam want to go back to Steffy but it did not. Steffy should be no fan of Quinn, for good reason, and if she wanted to she could get back at Quinn for causing her so much pain

•  Brooke is now with Bill. It is no secret that Steffy is no fan of Brooke – If Steffy still has any underlying feelings for Bill (which I believe she always will) she could stir up some trouble for Brill. Besides, who wouldn’t love seeing Steffy and Bill again!

• Her father Ridge, is now with Katie. Everyone knows Katie and Steffy have never been best friends. If Steffy is unhappy with her father being with Katie because of the way Katie has treated her over the years, she could definitely stir up some trouble for them as well. However one of Steffy’s last scenes was with Katie in the hospital where Katie was supporting Steffy over the loss of her child. They seem to have been in a better place so this point may not be possible anymore

• Steffy’s dad is lost at sea. Steffy is incredibly loyal to her family and there is no better reason to bring her back than her concern and fear over losing her dad

• Steffy and the other Forrester’s have taken a back seat in the business world while working at International in Paris. Bringing Steffy back could stir up some much needed competition at Forrester; she could re-launch her Intimates line and be a competitor for Hope For The Future. She could also be a force to be reckoned with in business and show Rick how things are suppose to be run

Writers if you’re reading this please bring back Steffy Forrester! She is terribly missed and needed on this show. She has a huge loyal fan base, and even the non-Steffy fans are incredibly vocal and opinionated on their feelings towards Steffy. Love or hate Steffy, she brings in controversy AND ratings. Give her a knock-out storyline to do with business and romance and it will definitely get people talking. There are way too many Logans on the show and it is making the show off balanced and biased. I am tired of seeing Hope, Brooke, and Katie every day. We miss Steffy, Taylor, and Thomas. Bring back the Forresters!

We know Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is off contract and on recurring status. Work out a deal with her and give her 1 or 2 really good storylines where she can come back for a little bit. We know the actress can deliver on any material she is given. It will be worth it!

Do you think Steffy Forrester is needed on B&B or is the show doing fine without her? If Steffy returned what storyline would you like to see her in? Would love to hear your opinion on the matter!
