Kelly Sullivan is no stranger to soap operas. The actress is best known for her roles as Kate/Connie on General Hospital and Sage on The Young and the Restless. Now, she’s added The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Darcy to her resume. Although Sullivan is excited about her new role, she admits she was a bit nervous.
Key Takeaways
- Sullivan made her B&B debut as Darcy on Thursday, August 27th.
- Sullivan’s last soap appearance was on Y&R in April 2016.
- After a long absence from daytime TV, Sullivan worried about her B&B role.
Kelly Sullivan’s Fears About Return to the Soap World
The last time soap fans saw Sullivan was in 2016, when her Y&R character Sage died. After her Y&R tenure ended, the actress went on to star in primetime shows such as Too Close to Home and Never Have I Ever. Now, she’s returning to the soap world with her new role as B&B’s Darcy.
One would assume returning to daytime TV would be a breeze for Sullivan. However, the actress had some fears heading into her first day on set.
“I was nervous because I haven’t done a soap in over 10 years,” Sullivan revealed to TV Insider. “That’s a long time because it’s just a specific way of working, and I was like, ‘What if I can’t do it? Who do I think I am?'”
Sullivan admits to having a bit of “imposter syndrome,” but all that changed when she arrived at the studio. “As soon as I got there, and as soon as I walked on set for our rehearsal in the morning, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s like riding a bike.'”
Mama Dylan Brings The Drama
Sullivan’s transition back to the soap world has been easy, especially with her new castmate. The actress is enjoying working with Heather Tom (Katie), Crew Morrow (Will), and her onscreen daughter, Sydney Bullock (Dylan).
However, from what’s been seen with Darcy’s debut, it’s evident that Dylan doesn’t have a close relationship with her mom. Yet, Kylan needs her mom’s help to get Katie off her back.
Katie’s been vocal in her disapproval of Dylan and Will’s relationship. Sensing that Dylan can’t be trusted, Katie insisted that she meet Dylan’s mom. Upon receiving her daughter’s phone call, Darcy agreed to fly out to Los Angeles. But the mother-daughter reunion will be anything but pleasant.
Darcy’s arrival will surely add drama to Dylan and Will’s relationship and the Spencer family. It’ll also reveal more secrets about the Dylan family, including the possible identity of Dylan’s father.
