After That Jaw-Dropping Bold & Beautiful Episode, Scott Clifton and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Reflect On a ‘Heavy Week, to Say the Least’
The Emmy winners took a moment to respond to their fans’ responses.
As The Bold and the Beautiful brought Steffy’s drug addiction to a harrowing new peak with the September 25th episode — you can read the full recap here — viewers reacted in a big way. Cries of “Emmy! Emmy!” were heard around the Internet — metaphorically, anyway. Afterwards, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, who plays the pill popper at the heart of the storyline, and Scott Clifton, aka her ex-husband and babydaddy Liam, signed on to offer their reactions.

“Many thanks for all the kind words about today’s episode,” tweeted Clifton, a veteran of General Hospital (as Dillon) and One Life to Live (as Schuyler). “Opioid addiction touches so many lives that we know some of you may recognize yourself or a loved one in this story.
“We see you,” he added, “and appreciate you.”

During an impromptu Instagram Q&A session with her followers, Wood was asked how she’d prepared to tackle the daunting episode, in which a bedraggled Steffy demanded the return of daughter Kelly — and pulled a switchblade on her family to prove that she meant business. It was an “incredibly challenging day/week,” she wrote. “Researching addiction, emotional pain from the [Steffy/]Liam/Hope triangle, reopening old wounds.
“It was a heavy week, to say the least,” she continued. “But I’m glad you enjoyed it.”
