The Bold and the Beautiful leaned into heavy, emotional drama in September, and no one carried it more powerfully than Heather Tom. As Katie Logan, she shouldered some of the most intense moments of the month, bringing heartache, fury, and fierce maternal instinct to the screen. For her layered, gut-wrenching performances, Soap Hub names Heather Tom our B&B Performer of the Month for September 2025.
A Mother’s Horror
Katie’s world shattered when she learned the truth about Will’s (Crew Morrow) night with Luna (Lisa Yamada). Believing he had been with Electra (Laneya Grace), Will was blindsided when the reality emerged — Luna had been alive the entire time and had taken advantage of him.
Tom’s performance in those scenes was raw and piercing. The way she reacted to Will’s confession, balancing heartbreak with searing anger, showed Katie’s unwavering love for her son and her desperate need to protect him from a trauma no one saw coming.
Fury and Resolve
Tom gave Katie fire in the follow-up, as she confronted Luna alongside Bill (Don Diamont) and Li (Naomi Matsuda). Her fury leapt off the screen, her voice trembling with rage and anguish as she demanded answers.
Yet Tom never allowed Katie’s grief to overshadow her strength. She embodied a woman determined to stand by her child no matter how painful the truth, and her commitment to that emotional honesty gave the scenes incredible depth.
Another Blow: The Pregnancy Reveal
Just as Katie tried to process the betrayal, another devastating twist landed — Luna was pregnant, presumably from that same night with Will. Tom captured Katie’s shock and disbelief with heartbreaking precision.
The anguish in her eyes, the subtle shift in her body language, and her quiet devastation elevated the moment beyond dialogue. She made Katie’s devastation palpable, ensuring viewers felt every ounce of her pain.

September gave Heather Tom some of her most powerful material in years, and she rose to meet it with unmatched skill.
