CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers reveal that star Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy Forrester) is opening up about her character’s addiction to pain killers. Here’s what she has to say.
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Jacqueline makes it clear that she wouldn’t have been able to tackle such a difficult subject without the support of her amazing co-stars. While she’s definitely been knocking her scenes out of the park, Jacqueline credits her on-screen father for his help and work, too.
CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Opens Up About Steffy’s Pain Pill Addiction
The actress said, “Honestly, I couldn’t have done any of this without my co-stars — especially Thorsten [Kaye, Ridge]. Being able to examine that father/daughter relationship — and the fact that we’re very close in real-life — helped me get to those emotional places. We film so quickly so you’ve got to get there and with the amount of dialogue we’re doing, these are long scenes.”
Jacqueline also says that while the subject matter sure is a sensitive one, she and her co-stars have been putting in a lot of work behind the scenes, too. She continued, “We had, like, eight-to-10 page scenes and surprisingly, we were doing it all in one take — and with the dance of Covid restrictions, it was challenging in so many ways. But we were able to get it down in one take, and I truly believe it was because everyone involved was doing such a phenomenal job. We were all as present as we could possibly be and everyone just really brought it.”
Jacqui also admits that her story slowly but then quickly accelerated to where it is today. “Right? It did. It felt like just yesterday that Steffy was taking some pills to numb her physical pain, and then it just went to emotional, and then a full-blown addict. But I loved diving into it and seeing what else there was to explore,” she added.
