While it might almost seem impossible to picture life in "The Bold and the Beautiful's" fictional city of Los Angeles without Steffy Forrester, there was a time in which she was nowhere to be found. According to We Love Soaps, in 2013, some speculation suggested that Wood chose not to renew her contract with the hit CBS soap. However, there was some confusion about her status on the show as Soaps in Depth tweeted she was still filming future episodes but was also planning to take a break from the show. Soap Opera Digest managed to clear up some of the rumors by releasing a statement from her spokesperson that said Wood "is taking a short break, as she has done in the past, from 'B&B.' She remains as the character of Steffy Forrester and is continuing to tape, currently with episodes airing through July of 2013 and then beyond."

So, what exactly was Wood doing during that time? It turns out that she had filmed guest starring roles on "Castle" and "Anger Management," according to her IMDb page. She also hosted the E! aeries "Party On," where she got to literally party around the world. But this wasn't the only time that Wood had left the soap world.
