Thankfully, Steffy’s portrayer Jacqueline MacInnes Wood says that the situation offscreen is nothing like the drama onscreen.
She toldSoaps in Depthback in 2019, “We’re always laughing.
There’s so much drama in what we film, but there’s none in real life.”

The details surrounding exactly what happened were heartbreaking to say the least.
In 2019, she made it happen.
However, what was supposed to be a dream adoption ended up being a complete nightmare.

Zoe and Paris Buckingham’s dirt-dealing daddidn’t get away with this, of course.
He was arrested and taken into custody for his crimes.
And while giving up her adopted baby was difficult, Steffy did manage to rebuild her family.

She toldSoap Opera Digestthat she hadn’t had any previous experience with babies.
Wood said, “I realized they’re a lot more resilient than I thought.
I learned all of that through my show.”
Some girls just have all the luck, right?
