‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) Spoilers tells us that, since 1990, Dr. Taylor Hayes has been played by one actress, and that is famed Hunter Tylo. However, she left the soap in 2019 and has not been back since.
Now, in-canon this has been explained away as her doing missionary work in another country, but she’s missed some pretty big milestones in her kids lives. Like Thomas Forrester’s (Matthew Atkinson) brain surgery and the birth of Steffy Forrester’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) son.
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Recasts Dr. Taylor Hayes
It had fans wondering just where on earth she was, even had a few of us speculating on whether or not it was actually missionary work or ‘rehab’ from plastic surgery. (The theory made sense at the time, her character had been dating a doctor.)
As it turns out, B&B did try and reach out to Tylo about reprising her role but they were unsuccessful in doing so. Tylo’s kept mum about going back on the show so far, so she could just be done with playing Taylor Hayes, perhaps she feels she has brought everything she needs to to the character and sbe’a ready to move on.
This is where Krista Allen steps in. You may recognize Allen from her former role on DOOL as Billie Reed from 1996-1999. She’s also done other prime time shows like CSI, Two and a Half Men, Baywatch, and the X-Files. Still, it seems its been a minute since she was active on the daytime scene.
She starts taping episodes on Oct. 28th, and her first scene will be with none other than former flame Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). Considering all the trouble he has had with wifey Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) over the past year and a half, could the love triangle be starting all over again?
We already had a failed love triangle with Shawna Fulton (Denise Richards), but there’s something to be said about Taylor – she managed to captivate Ridge’s heart for a long time and gave Brooke a legitimate run for her money.
She’s also the Mother of Ridge’s children, and that has to hold some power as much as Brooke would literally hate to admit it. We’ll see who has the last laugh. Stay tuned!!!
