‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers find that Zoe Buckingham isn’t being so much the model citizen these days. After trying to cheat on fiancé Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) with Zende Forrester Dominguez (Delon de Metz) then blaming her sister Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) when she was busted, Zoe hasn’t gained any new fans.
But Kiara Barnes, who portrays the woman viewers are beginning to despise is asking everyone not to judge Zoe just yet. Speaking to Soap Central Kiara said:
“I believe Zoe is incredibly insecure about marriage, love, and overall trust. Many of her relationships have come crashing down right when she becomes her most vulnerable.”
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Kiara Barnes claims her character, Zoe Buckingham isn’t bad, she’s just scared.
So…Zoe is just scared of seeing all her dreams come true? Self-saboteurs aren’t new to the world of B&B (how’s your baby mama drama going, Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton) ?) but does that truly excuse Zoe’s awful behavior?
Viewers were disappointed enough in her treatment of steadfast Carter. Now Zoe is taking her frustrations out on lil sis, Paris fans are out for blood! Does Kiara believe this is simple sibling rivalry on ‘roids or is there something in the Buckingham sisters’ past that is manifesting here?
Says Kiara: “There’s definitely a deeper issue going on with Zoe and Paris. Hopefully, soon we will be able to see what that is!”
Again, Bold fans have seen sibling rivalry at its worst play out on their screens (how’s all that groveling to Katie Logan (Heather Tom) going, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont)? Was it really worth making out with her big sister, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang)? Again?).
After all the Baby Beth drama that saw her father, Dr. Reece Buckingham (Wayne Brady) thrown in the slammer, you’d think Zoe would still be on a quest to redeem herself. Has Zoe learned nothing? Kiara isn’t so sure, saying:
“Honestly, I think toxic and damaging behavior always ends up recycling and repeating itself when not addressed. Unfortunately, Zoe hasn’t taken those steps to address her trauma from the past.”
Whichever way Zoe goes, either hightailing it down the highway to ‘Most Hated Woman at Forrester Creations’, or slogging it out on the road to redemption, Kiara is having a great time portraying the troubled woman.
“It’s been a lot of fun to explore these different sides of Zoe,” she said. “There’s been a lot of development for her, and we’re starting to find out what really makes her tick and so much more about her personal life.”
So, while fans are turning their back on Zoe, Kiara isn’t. “I think it’s always important to find redeeming qualities of your character so you can understand why they do what they do.” Yet she admits, “I, myself, don’t agree with how she’s handled her doubts and insecurities with Carter!” None of us do, Zoe, so get yourself together, girl!
