‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) spoilers find that Kiara Barnes made her debut on FOX’s primetime Fantasy Island last night, yet as she promoted the show, fans still wanted to know about her days of working with the fashion house, Forrester Creations as fulltime model and part-time trouble maker, Zoe Buckingham.
In particular, soap fans wanted to know how she felt about the widely panned exit of her character and if she felt as dissatisfied as viewers that there was no blow-up between Zoe, Quinn Forrester (Rena Sofer) and Carter Walton (Lawrence St. Victor).
‘The Bold & Beautiful’ Spoilers: What did Kiara Barnes really think about Zoe Buckingham’s Exit?
Said Kiara, “Zoe had already had so many of those big dramatic moments beforehand with Thomas and all that. I actually enjoyed this perspective of where all of that intensity totally fell on Rena and Lawrence and their characters of Carter and Quinn like, ‘Where do we go from here?’ They did all of the messing around, so I think it was only [right] for the fans to see what happens on their end.”
Hmm, that’s a perspective we hadn’t thought of before.
However, soaps aren’t usually about the subtle, wouldn’t it have been better for Zoe to have been at Quinn and Eric Forrester’s (Eric McCook) ill-fated vow renewal to hear the secret come out first hand?
“I thought that Paris Buckingham [Diamond White] being the one to tell me was also sweet because they had gone through so much. It was a lot of ups and downs through Zoe and Paris’ relationship, so I thought it was kind of a sweet ending and it showed that connection of Zoe and Paris becoming sisters again.”
Well, okay, there’s that…but still, didn’t Kiara feel like Zoe deserved a more memorable exit?
“I thought that the ending was pretty good.”
Weeeeel, that makes one of us.
What was good, was Kiara as Ruby in last night’s premier of Fantasy Island. Ruby is an elderly guest of the island with terminal cancer. After walking through a waterfall with her husband Mell, she becomes young and healthy (and Kiara) again.
In a completely coincidental moment from the casting gods- Adain Bradley who played Zoe’s ex-boyfriend Xander Avant on The Bold portrayed the post-waterfall young version of Ruby’s!
“I was so, so happy.” Kiara gushed about learning she’d be playing opposite Adain again. “We already have that easygoing chemistry — we worked together, obviously, on B&B — so we already knew how we act with each other within scenes. He’s one of my favorite actors to work with. He makes work not feel like work. That was a really fun reunion, I missed working with him.”
It was a fun nod to Bold fans out there who tuned in to see Kiara make her primetime debut last night. Here’s hoping Adain will return in future episodes!
