There’s never a dull moment on Bold and the Beautiful, but lately, some of our favorite players have been pushed to the background. While the drama rages on with familiar favorites, we can’t help but wonder, where are the sparkplugs who used to stir the pot, warm our hearts, and drop the most unexpected one-liners? It’s time to switch things up and put THESE players back front and center.
Poison Ivy
Let’s start with Ivy (Ashleigh Brewer). Once the Aussie heartthrob who made our screens sizzle, Ivy’s been off the radar for far too long. She’s the kind of romantic who makes you believe in love again. With Liam’s (Scott Clifton) health spiraling, Ivy could be the breath of fresh air (and deep emotional connection) he desperately needs. Imagine her by his side – grieving, hoping, loving him through the unthinkable. If that doesn’t scream soap gold, we don’t know what does.

The Big Boss
Now, we need to talk about Eric (John McCook). The patriarch, the legend, the man who practically built this show from the ground up. Eric and Donna’s (Jennifer Gareis) love story had all the makings of a classic, and then…it just faded. Where’s the fire? Where’s the passion? Eric should be on the frontburner, running Forrester Creations like the boss he is and reminding us why he and Donna are couple goals. We need to see them living, laughing, and loving – with a sprinkle of office drama, too!

The Sweetest Man Of All
And let’s not forget Charlie (Dick Christie). This loveable security chief has been comic relief, but it’s time he gets his shot at real romance. He and Pam (Alley Mills) had potential, but their road to marriage didn’t stick. And don’t get us started on the could-have-been spark with Genoa City resident Esther (Kate Linder). Charlie deserves his own romantic arc! Something juicy, sweet, and just a little messy. Give him love, give him heartbreak, give him something.
