The Bold and The Beautiful, set in Los Angeles, California, revolves around the powerful Forrester family. The show often brings back much-loved characters after their exit and fans may soon receive a huge surprise involving Taylor Hayes, a psychiatrist deeply embedded in several plotlines. The character, last played by Krista Allen, has not featured in the soap since November 2023. Speaking to Deadline, the actress spoke about being dropped and said:
"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.' And I was like, what?"
According to World of BB, The Bold and The Beautiful allegedly issued a casting call for a character similar to Taylor, which sparked speculations about her return. Taylor's significant romantic history with Ridge Forrester led to dramatic love triangles in the series. Fans now wonder how the relationships and dynamics in the show will change if the character returns to The Bold and The Beautiful.
Is The Bold and The Beautiful getting Taylor back?
With the longstanding feud between the Logans and the Forrester family intensifying, many viewers have noticed the absence of Steffy's mother, Taylor Hayes. Steffy has had to navigate some tumultuous waters alone and that could change if her mother returns to the show as her support system.
According to World of BB and SoapHub, The Bold and The Beautiful released a casting call for "Sabrina," described as a "strong, sophisticated leading lady" aged between 45 and 50. As the names of characters are not revealed during casting calls online, The Bold and the Beautiful fans may wonder if Taylor Hayes is set to return since the description seems to match hers.
Taylor's potential comeback would mark a massive shift in the storyline, adding another layer to the Logan-Forrester rivalry.
