Ridge is the Nostradamus of The Bold and the Beautiful. He feared a feud between the Logans and the Forresters, and he was right. That feud goes back to the ’90s, during the soap’s heyday, and it just keeps getting worse. But Ridge doesn’t understand that he’s the reason for the feud. His waffling ways caused his children to fight. Ridge wants a resolution for Hope’s firing. What he needs to focus on is ending this thirty-year feud.

Logans vs. Forresters

In 1993, Ridge (then Ron Moss) told Taylor (then Hunter Tylo) that he didn’t want their children to end up in a feud. This happened around the time there was a conflict over the BeLieF formula, which was a collaboration between Ridge and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang).

At the time, he predicted their kids would end up in this long feud. Ridge also predicted the future of Forrester Creations,...

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers reveal that Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) will have an unexpected new target. The actress had an interview in which she teased that Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) better watch out.

So, let’s get started talking about Budig’s interview as well as what could happen next with the storyline.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Taylor Hayes’ Return & Recast

B&b spoilers reveal that the role of Taylor has been played by a few different faces. Hunter Tylo, then Krista Allen, now Rebecca Budig. When Taylor came back to Los Angeles, she was holding onto a secret – and still is.

So far, Taylor has only told Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) about her heart condition. Taylor swore Li to secrecy, but the good doctor is trying to get the psychiatrist to do the right thing.

B&b Spoilers – Heart Condition

The role of Taylor was literally just recast.

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&b) spoilers document that Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) knows that Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) loves her. This pairing ranks as the most resilient in this soap’s history.

However, Taylor Hayes’ (Rebecca Budig) purposeful return to Los Angeles, California, is significant. To say that she is Ridge’s main love of his life would be wrong. But it is arguable to claim that Brooke and Taylor are his two equal loves.

Viewers know that Ridge has married Brooke eight times but also recognize that Bridge has not remarried. Taylor is also well aware and may believe that an opening exists.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Haven’t We Been Down This Daytime Road?

Yes, Ridge has vacillated between Brooke and Taylor, including recently. The recast from Hunter Tylo to Krista Allen led to a reunion with Ridge, but he did not marry Taylor.

It would be easy to think that Taylor is still pining for Ridge on The Bold and the Beautiful. However, it could be a different Forrester man that she set her sights on with this recent return, and it would cause even more chaos.

Taylor’s Attraction to Eric

There was a time when Taylor (Rebecca Budig) was attracted to Eric (John McCook). Hunter Tylo famously portrayed Taylor. The two first flirted in 1995, and Taylor couldn’t resist him. She felt guilty because she knew his wife, Stephanie (Susan Flannery), wanted him back.

Taylor promised never to pursue him further, so the two kept their kiss a secret. In 1998, Taylor married Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and became Eric’s daughter-in-law. Ronn Moss portrayed Ridge at the time.

In 2013, Taylor had an affair with Eric. She learned that her daughter Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was pregnant with Liam’s (Scott Clifton) baby.

If you, like me, were suspicious of the reason Taylor gave Ridge for why she came back home, Sept. 20's episode of The Bold and the Beautiful confirmed we had a right to be wary. The way the good doctor has been talking lately has been setting off alarm bells, From her continued emphasis on her not wanting to miss anymore of her loved ones' lives to the passing comment she made about her heart, it seemed like something was wrong.

The episode opened with Taylor on the phone telling a mysterious person on the other end that she'd share when she has more information and she thanked them for checking in. She looked upset as she spoke though grateful for the person's concern. Brooke showed up just as Taylor was getting off the phone and the two launched into a discussion about their daughters and the need for Hope...

There is a lot of controversy around a current The Bold and The Beautiful storyline. This is the storyline that sees Rebecca Budig playing Taylor in the daytime soap opera. However, there is a huge age difference between Budig and the actress who played Taylor before, Hunter Tylo.

Here is what Budig had to say about this controversial casting.

Rebecca Budig Discusses Playing Taylor On The Bold and The Beautiful

Hunter Tylo played Taylor before Rebecca Budig joined The Bold and The Beautiful cast. Tylo is 62, which makes Taylor older than many other characters on the daytime soap. However, she left the series, and Rebecca Budig signed on to play Hunter. There is one problem, though. Budig is 51.

YouTube/State of Mind with Maurice Benard

That is an 11-year age difference between the two women. This is nothing really new, though, as many actors play characters that are very different...

Fans weren’t expecting to see Rebecca Budig step into the role of Taylor on the August 6 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful. But she’s been doing a great job so far as the fans have warmed up to her, shedding their notions that Krista Allen would return. Budig’s been a major part of the soap world, and she recently opened up about reuniting with her erstwhile castmate Thorsten Kaye, who appeared with her on All My Children.

Taylor Leads With Her Brain

Budig was excited to get the part and knew that it would be a recast of Taylor, she told The TV Watercooler, walking into a part with a long history. In 1990, Hunter Tylo first played the character, but in 2021, Krista Allen took over before being abruptly axed in December 2023.

There’s been a decades-long feud between Taylor and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), who fought...

Bold & Beautiful fans are sounding off about the recasting of Taylor Haynes. The beloved character has been played by more than one actress over the years, but viewers aren’t loving the latest recast. Many people are saying “It just doesn’t work.” Here is what led to Taylor’s recasting.

Recasting Taylor Haynes Over The Years

Taylor Haynes is known in the world of Bold & Beautiful as a popular psychiatrist. She first appeared on the soap opera in June of 1990 and was played by Hunter Tylo.

In 1994, Hunter Tylo left the soap but returned a few months later. Then, she left again after she was cast on Melrose Place. However, she came back to B&b before the character was killed off in October 2002.

Two years later, Hunter reprised the role on Bold & Beautiful as Taylor’s ghost. As often happens in the soap world, it was revealed that Taylor...

Although The Bold and the Beautiful storyline for Taylor has yet to kick into high gear, her latest portrayer, Rebecca Budig, has shown great promise and eased into the role. Considering Taylor first appeared in 1990 (then played by Hunter Tylo), there’s quite a bit of character history for Budig to bone up on, and she talked about what she did about the learning curve.

The Right Guidance

Soap star Rebecca Budig spoke with Soaps in Depth about moving over to B&b and becoming Dr. Taylor Hayes. With 34 years of character history to learn, Budig realized it was a daunting task and was able to break things down and take everything slowly. She spoke with executive producer and head writer Brad Bell, who gave it to her in a nutshell, explaining that “Ridge is the love of her life.” She further stated that he “Just gave me a lot of details about who Taylor is.

With soap star Rebecca Budig stepping into the role of Taylor on The Bold and the Beautiful, things are going to continue to heat up between the Forresters and the Logans. Originated by Hunter Tylo in 1990, who played the part for almost 20 years, and then taken over by Krista Allen from 2021 to 2023, Budig’s got some big shoes to fill. Here’s our take on how she’s doing so far.

Budig’s Taylor May Be Revenge Minded

The mother of Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson), Taylor’s been out of town ever since Allen was mysteriously let go in December 2023. Now, while General Hospital fans had been holding out hope that Budig would reprise her role as Hayden, she instead took on the role of Taylor, who was involved in a decades-long love triangle with Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). (Take a gander...

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers document that Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is upset that her rival is disrupting another marriage.

This time, instead of Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), Hope has eyes for John Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan). Longtime viewers will rightly point out that Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) was not the only person to blame in the triangle that once included her, Liam, and Steffy. Both ladies allowed Liam to rotate between them over many years.

A current twist has Hope unable to control the feelings she believes she’s developed for Steffy’s current husband. Finn has not reciprocated, but that won’t help him in the near term.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – John Finn Finnegan Did Nothing Wrong

Finn has repeatedly told Hope to back off. He feels sorry for her and tries to rationalize her erratic behavior based on various factors.

Hope...

This week on The Bold and the Beautiful, the Forrester Family will reunite with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig). Ridge Forrester’s (Thorsten Kaye) ex-wife skipped town over a year ago to mend her broken heart, and has finally returned.

One person won’t be popping any champagne when they see Taylor’s back though. Keep reading for all the details, here’s what’s coming up next on Bold and Beautiful.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers Spoilers – Taylor Hayes’s Epic Return

According to B&b spoilers, Brooke Logan will be reeling when she learns her frienemy is back in town. The Bridge marriage has been smooth sailing since Taylor left town, and all that is about to change.

Now that Brooke just returned to work at Forrester Creations and relaunched Brooke’s bedroom line, there’s a lot on the line.

General Hospital

Rick Hearst returns to General Hospital as Ric Lansing this week. The character resurfaces in Port Charles to support his daughter, Molly (Kristen Vaganos). Hearst was originally cast as Sonny’s (Maurice Benard) half-brother in 2002 and stayed with the soap until 2009. His last run was from 2014 to 2016.

The Deception crew – Jane Elliot’s Tracy, Lynn Herring’s Lucy, Kirsten Storms’ Maxie, and Eva Larue’s Natalia — is visiting Home & Heart.

The Bold and the Beautiful writers threw a twist at the end of Friday’s show that almost no one saw coming.

For months, things have bounced back and forth between Luna (Lisa Yamada) attempting to find out who her father is.

It was heavily hinted that it was Bill (Don Diamont) earlier this year. Then Tom (Clint Howard) came on the scene claiming to be her father, despite the DNA test administered by Li (Naomi Matsuda) revealing Bill was Luna’s dad.

Bill did his own test with Luna after Poppy (Romy Park) was arrested and learned she was not his daughter despite the first test proving she was.

And before the show went off for the weekend, Luna planted a kiss on Bill while they sat on the couch.

What is going on with The Bold and the Beautiful?

The Week of August 19, 2024

Rebecca Budig, who first appeared via a phone call on August 5 and then on last Friday’s episode, begins her full-time tenure as the new Dr. Taylor Hayes this week. Look for the actress to share her initial scenes with Jacqueline MacInnes Wood’s Steffy and Tanner Novlan’s Finn on Monday, August 19. She also airs on Wednesday, August 21 and Thursday, August 22. Budig previously played Greenlee Smythe on All My Children and Hayden Barnes on General Hospital. Hunter Tylo and Krista Allen previously portrayed Taylor.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers document that Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) did not call Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) to check-in. She contacted her beloved daughter to send a message. Returning to Los Angeles, California, after being out of the country since last year is significant. The revival of this legacy character is also momentous because of the recast of daytime veteran Budig.

The developing scenario likely reestablishes the type of war between the Forresters and Logans that Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) just said she would like to avoid.

Krista Allen was put in a challenging spot. She was recast to play Taylor after Hunter Tylo’s multiple runs on the show.

The Week of August 12, 2024

There’s another crossover happening between The Bold and the Beautiful and its sister soap, The Young and the Restless. Supercouple Lauralee Bell and Michael Damian, who play Christine Blair and Danny Romalotti on Y&r, pay a visit to the Los Angeles-based show this week. Look for the pair to air on Tuesday, August 13 and Wednesday, August 14.

Meanwhile, B&b has recast the role of Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) and Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) mother again. Soap vet Rebecca Budig, remembered as Greenlee Smythe on All My Children and Hayden Barnes on General Hospital, debuted as the new Dr. Taylor Hayes last week.

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers document that the Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) recast may do more than reignite one of this show’s classic triangles.

Sure, another rematch with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) for the heart of Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) can be projected. But savvy soap fans know that the return of a significant character can often mean the subtraction of another.

B&b is the last half-hour steamer standing. Its cast list is naturally shorter than that of the one-hour soap operas. Only nineteen headshots are seen on the show’s main cast page, with other side characters also known. With the Taylor character returning, it’s fair to wonder who might be destined to leave the cast.

The Bold and the Beautiful dropped a bomb on fans this week when Taylor Hayes made a shocking return. As Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) canoodled in Monte Carlo, a women cloaked in black spied on them from the bushes (in true Sheila Carter fashion).

The Bold and the Beautiful fans were shocked when the woman was revealed to be Ridge’s ex Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig).

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Rebbeca Budig Joins Bold And The Beautiful Cast

Hunter Tylo played the part of Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Thomas Forrester’s (Matthew Atkinson) mom for over a decade. Then Krista Allen took over the role, and exited last year.

According to The Bold and the Beautiful comings and goings, Ridge’s ex-wife Taylor is now being played by soap vet Rebecca Budig.

According to B&b spoilers, Taylor’s return to...

The time Krista Allen fans were dreading has finally come. Taylor Hayes has been recast on The Bold and the Beautiful. Rebecca Budig has stepped into the role. We haven't seen much of her interpretation of the beloved character, but we're sure the four time Daytime Emmy nominee will deliver. The chief concern, however, is whether or not viewers will feel the same magic we did when Allen took up the mantle.

Notably, there'd been push back when Allen joined. Longtime watchers of the soap had strong convictions about Hunter Tylo who originated the role and had played the character for nearly 20 years. But Allen won people over with her talent, her exceptional line delivery, her ability to imbue Taylor with both passion and vulnerability, and the spectacular chemistry she had with Thorsten Kaye. They were able to portray Tridge's friendship as well as their deep love and brought...

Fans of the The Bold and the Beautiful got a shock on the August 6 episode when soap alum Rebecca Budig made her surprise debut as Dr. Taylor Hayes. The role, originated by Hunter Tylo in 1990, and most recently portrayed by Krista Allen from 2021-23, was new territory for Budig, who previously toiled as Guiding Light’s Michelle Bauer, All My Children’s Greenlee Smythe and General Hospital’s Hayden Barnes. “I love soaps, but I don’t have time to follow anything because of my child [Charlotte, 9] and how time-consuming that is,” she tells TV Insider. “So, I really didn’t have a lot of familiarity with the part. I knew that Bold and Beautiful was a great place to be because people had always said, ‘Everyone’s such a family there.’ ” Fortunately, Bradley Bell, the show’s executive producer and head writer, filled in the gaps for the newcomer. “Brad...

Rebecca Budig is joining The Bold and the Beautiful as an older character, and she is very excited about it. The character is Dr. Taylor Hayes and she has been played by three different people before Budig. When asked about the role, Budig said that she is “iconic” and that she loves her “strength.”

Here is what you need to know about the returning Dr. Taylor Hayes.

Rebecca Budig Joining The Bold And The Beautiful

Rebecca Budig joins The Bold and the Beautiful as Dr. Taylor Hayes, and her first episode aired on August 6. This is a legacy character that she is playing. Previously, Hunter Tylo, Sherilyn Wolter, and Krista Allen played the character on the show.

Dr. Taylor Hayes is a psychiatrist, and this is the first time that Budig has played someone in the mental health profession. It has her very excited about the possibilities.

Rebecca Budig, best known for her portrayal as Greenlee Smythe of “All My Children” and Michelle Bauer on “Guiding Light,” is making a return to daytime television, taking over the role of Dr. Taylor Hayes on “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

Budig made her debut on the CBS daytime drama series during the tale end of the Tuesday, August 6 episode when viewers got to see the face of the mystery woman who had been watching Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) from afar while the two had been spending time together in Monaco celebrating the re-launch of Brooke’s Bedroom line.

In her first scenes, Taylor is seen calling her daughter Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), telling her that she’s heading home to Los Angeles as she looks on at Brooke and Ridge, who are shown embracing one another.

In speaking with People, Budig shares that she’s...

There’s a new Dr. Taylor Hayes in town! Longtime soap veteran Rebecca Budig is stepping into The Bold and the Beautiful role previously played by Krista Allen and Hunter Tylo. Budig made her first appearance as the character during the August 6 episode. Taylor is an integral part of The Bold and the Beautiful family. The psychiatrist is mother to Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson). She has a long history with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye), which will surely cause problems for Ridge’s relationship with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). Budig and Kaye will be reuniting onscreen after previously starring on All My Children together. The actress posted a clip of her first appearance on Instagram. Taylor called her daughter as she spied on Ridge and Brooke from a distance. “Momma’s coming home,” Taylor told Steffy. Following the August 6 episode, fans took to X (formerly...

For the second episode in a row, Brooke and Ridge ended the half-hour appreciating each other as they kissed against the beautiful backdrop of the South of France. But then the mystery woman popped up again. From afar, she watched Bridge bask in the success of Brooke’s Bedroom line. Suddenly, in the Tuesday, August 6 episode of The Bold and the Beautiful, an official voice interrupted saying: “The role of Dr. Taylor Hayes is now being played by Rebecca Budig.” There’s a new Taylor in town. Taking on the role is one of daytime’s most recognizable faces.

A Brand New Taylor

This week, the mystery woman who spied on Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) was none other than Dr. Taylor Hayes, Ridge’s ex-wife and the mother of Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) and Thomas (Matthew Atkinson). She’s also Brooke’s nemesis, her longtime rival for Ridge.

With Brooke and Ridge in Monte Carlo to promote her revitalized line of lingerie, things seemed hunky dory on The Bold and the Beautiful. However, as they had a moment alone so Ridge could continue to gush about how much he loves her, a strange female figure was lurking in the background, and it most likely means trouble is afoot.

They Were Being Watched

B&b had a unique situation going on when Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Taylor (Krista Allen) buried the hatchet after 30 years of fighting over Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) in early 2023. The decades-long back and forth, because Ridge could never decide which woman he truly wanted to be with, was absurd, and it seemed the two had finally evolved past that and were moving into a new era. The women had become besties which was both shocking and refreshing, however it was short-lived. During the infamous trip to Italy that year,...

Since its premiere in 1987, ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&b) spoilers has captivated audiences with its intense drama, intricate storylines, and unforgettable characters. Among these characters, the villains often stand out for their devious schemes and relentless pursuit of power, love, or revenge. Here’s an in-depth look at the top 10 biggest villains in the show’s history.

1. Sheila Carter

Portrayed by: Kimberlin Brown

Sheila Carter is arguably the most notorious villain in the history of “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Originally from “The Young and the Restless,” Sheila’s transition to “The Bold and the Beautiful” brought a new level of treachery. Known for her obsessive and psychotic tendencies, Sheila’s schemes included kidnapping, attempted murder, and endless manipulation. Her vendetta against the Forrester family, particularly her arch-nemesis Stephanie Forrester, provided some of the most gripping storylines on the show.

2. Bill Spencer, Jr.

Portrayed by: Don Diamont

Bill Spencer,...

The Real Housewives of Atlanta is seeing significant changes ahead of Season 16.

With Kandi Burruss announcing her exit before filming even begins, there is plenty of room for new blood on the show.

Kenya Moore is said to be back for another round, and her nemesis, Porsha Williams, is rumored to return after stepping away from the series.

Over 15 seasons, there have been plenty of exits and new faces, and it looks like the Rhoa casting directors are taking a page from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills’ book.

Earlier this week, former The Bold and the Beautiful star Krista Allen took to X (formerly Twitter) to reveal she received a “very cryptic call.” She then asked her followers whether they had watched Rhoa.

Krista also noted she was “intrigued,” hinting there could be a possibility of interest in the reality TV series.

Krista Allen teases her followers. Pic credit:...

Krista Allen has been axed from her role as Dr. Taylor Hayes on The Bold and the Beautiful. The news came just hours before The 2023 Daytime Emmys ceremony on Friday December 15, at which the actress was nominated for her first Emmy since stepping into the soap in 2021 as a replacement for Hunter Tylo, Allen received the news in October that her B&b contract was not being renewed and hasn’t been featured in an episode since November 8. “The craziest thing is right before I got dropped, I did the cast photo shoot, and then the next week they called and said, ‘we’re not going to keep your third year and thank you very much, you were wonderful and thank you, goodbye,” Allen told Deadline. “And I was like, what?” “I think the hardest thing for me has been trying to stay quiet. I haven’t known what to say.

Exclusive: Tonight’s Daytime Emmys ceremony will be bittersweet for Krista Allen, the actress who plays Dr. Taylor Hayes on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Up for her first Emmy after joining the sudser in 2021 as a replacement for Hunter Tylo, Hayes will be attending the ceremony as an out-of-work actress. That’s right, soap fans: Allen says she was told in October that her contract wouldn’t be renewed; she hasn’t appeared in an episode since Nov. 8.

“The craziest thing is right before I got dropped, I did the cast photo shoot, and then the next week they called and said, ‘we’re not going to keep your third year and thank you very much, you were wonderful and thank you, goodbye,” Allen tells Deadline. “And I was like, what?”

“I think the hardest thing for me has been trying to stay quiet. I haven’t known what to say.

As The Bold and the Beautiful viewers celebrated the two-year anniversary of Krista Allen‘s role as Taylor Hayes, the Mia actress returned to social media for the first time since June to respond to fans wondering where her character disappeared to. Allen joined the long-running soap in 2021, replacing Hunter Tylo in the iconic role of Taylor Hayes, the psychiatrist best known for her dramatic, decades-long love triangle with Ridge Forrester and Brooke Logan. But it’s been months since viewers have seen Allen on-screen. In March, Allen shared with her followers that she’d been absent from social media due to a “personal tragedy,” writing, “I miss y’all and haven’t checked my tweets in many weeks. I will soon. Had a personal tragedy and been dealing with that.” She added, “Trying to get back to normal now. Well, “normal” for me. (Never actually normal! ) Love you and sending belly laughs and smiles.

The Bold and the Beautiful has recast many characters throughout the decades. Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) and Thorne Forrester (Winsor Harmon) are a few characters with multiple portrayers. While some actors have difficulty taking over a role, it was no problem for these four stars.

Taylor Hayes (Krista Allen) is a beloved heroine on The Bold and the Beautiful. Yet, she’s far from perfect and has made mistakes. Her past with Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is returning to haunt her.

Like many of The Bold and the Beautiful leading ladies, Taylor has her flaws. Although she’s hailed as being pure, honest, and perfect; she’s committed a few misdeeds. One of Taylor’s biggest crimes was shooting Bill.

In 2018, the show wrote a whodunit mystery revolving around Bill. The Spencer Publications CEO had lots of enemies who wanted to see him dead. Everyone almost got their wish when a mystery assailant shot Bill.

Will justice be served?...

Dr. Taylor Hayes is making her way back to The Bold and the Beautiful, but there's a big catch.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Krista Allen (Days of Our Lives) is set to join the cast of the daytime soap, replacing Hunter Tylo in the role.

Allen's first episode is set to air on December 10, and it sounds like there will be a lot of soapy goodness on the horizon for longtime fans!

Tylo first appeared on The Bold and the Beautiful in 1990, and the actress exited for good in 2019.

But there was no big exit for the character of Taylor. The series explained her absence by saying she was doing missionary work in another country.

That was a low-key exit for a soap. These shows tend to have outlandish twists that shake things up when you least expect them.

Still, it's nice to know we'll be checking back in with the character,...

Dr. Taylor Hayes will look a little different the next time you see her on The Bold and the Beautiful: Krista Allen will succeed longtime cast member Hunter Tylo in the role on the CBS daytime soap, EW.com reports.

Allen will make her first appearance as Taylor in the Dec. 10 episode. Tylo originated the role in 1990, with Taylor battling Katherine Kelly Lang’s Brooke Logan for the affections of Ridge Forrester, played by Ronn Moss and later Thorsten Kaye. Tylo was a two-time Soap Opera Digest Award nominee for Hottest Female Star. She exited the soap for good...

The Daytime Emmys revived the category of Best Guest Performer in 2015 almost 30 years after it had last been handed out in 1987, but a new rule instituted this year could be highly consequential. In the last four years this award was restricted to actors playing newly created roles, but this year the academy opened it up to established characters as well. This year there are two returning roles in the running: Kate Mansi as Abigail Deveraux and Thaao Penghlis as Andre Dimera, both from “Days of Our Lives.” Both have been Emmy contenders before for these roles (and Mansi was a winner), so does that give them an advantage?

That depends on their Emmy reels. These awards are unique in that both the nominees and the winners were determined by blue ribbon panels viewing sample performance reels from the actors up for consideration. Those submissions tend to level the playing field,...

You can always count on plenty of plot twists when watching daytime soaps, and that’s also true of the Daytime Emmys, whose 2019 nominations were announced on March 20 live on CBS’s “The Talk.” Check out the full list of nominees here to see who made the cut, and scroll down to find out who didn’t.

These nominations were preceded by the pre-nominations, which were announced in January and included all the actors in each drama category whose work would then be evaluated by blue ribbon panels to decide the nominees and winners. The number-one show in those pre-nominations was “The Young and the Restless,” which had 21 actors cited across seven races. It was shocking then to see that only five of those actors made the final list of nominees.

Wayne Brady has been an Emmy darling for the better part of two decades, but drama is uncharted territory for him at these awards. That could change this year: he’s a Daytime Emmys pre-nominee for Best Guest Performer for his role on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Will he make the cut?

Brady’s first Emmy nominations were in primetime. where he earned three straight nominations in the now-defunct Best Individual Variety Performance category for the improv series “Whose Line is It Anyway?” (2001-2003). He won that prize on his third try.

2003 was also the year Brady made his first impact at the Daytime Emmys. His self-titled daytime talk show aired from 2002 until its cancellation in 2004, but in that time he won two straight prizes for Best Talk Show Host (2003-2004).
