Have any new actors or actresses been cast on the show in contract, recurring, or day player roles? Are any well-remembered or beloved stars from other soaps, past or present, about to join The Bold and the Beautiful fold in surprise new parts? Here’s the latest casting news from the CBS soap.
The week of November 1, 2021
Dr. Taylor Hayes, Steffy Forrester Finnegan’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), and Thomas Forrester’s (Matthew Atkinson) long-missing mother will be heading back to the soap, next month. However, she won’t be portrayed by Hunter Tylo, who originated the character in 1990.
In a surprise move, the role has been recast with a Days of our Lives vet. Krista Allen, who played Billie Reed from 1996 to 1999, will begin appearing as Taylor in December. “If there was ever any type of role to come back to daytime with, it would be this one,” the actress told Soap Opera Digest. “I couldn’t have asked for a better role to step into — or bigger shoes to fill. I love a good challenge.”
B&B made its debut in 1987 and introduced glitz and glamour to daytime soap operas. It has outlasted other soaps to become a mainstay for many households. Needless to say, over three decades of storylines with the backdrop of the fashion world setting the stage for epic romances have kept viewers locked in and wanting more.
From the first decades with Stephanie Forrester’s (Susan Flannery) iron grip on her family to Sheila’s (Kimberlin Brown) evil schemes to the epic love story of Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) that continues to this day, The Bold and the Beautiful knows how to entertain and keep fans coming back for more.
It is one of four soap operas currently on the air. The other three daytime dramas include General Hospital (GH), Days of our Lives (DAYS), and The Young and the Restless (YR). The Bold and the Beautiful (BB) airs weekdays on CBS. Check local listings for air times.
