In The Bold and The Beautiful, Paul "Hollis" Hollister, was portrayed by actor Hollis W. Chambers. He was first introduced on The Bold and the Beautiful in December 2021 as a waiter at Il Giardino. Over time, his character became entangled in the lives of major players, most notably Deacon Sharpe and Brooke Logan.

Initially a supporting character on The Bold and The Beautiful, he developed a romantic interest in Brooke. Despite some playful flirtation and a date, Brooke ultimately decided not to pursue a relationship with him. In 2024, Hollis was still working at Il Giardino, now deeply involved in the restaurant’s daily operations alongside Deacon.

After Deacon hired Sheila Carter under suspicious circumstances, Hollis became increasingly wary. His instincts heightened after a tragic incident involving Tom Starr, a homeless man Deacon had hired.

Hollis discovered mysterious letters in Tom’s possession, which piqued his curiosity about the true nature of the man’s death. Despite being warned by Sheila to drop the matter, Hollis persisted in investigating the contents of the letters.

This investigation ultimately led to his tragic demise. One night, while the power was out at the restaurant, Hollis attempted to retrieve the letters and find someone to share his discovery with. The next morning, when Deacon and Sheila arrived at work, they found Hollis dead. His murder left many questions unanswered.


Hollis' storyline on The Bold and The Beautiful

Introduced to Brooke through their casual interactions at Il Giardino, Hollis made a bold move, asking her out on a date on The Bold and The Beautiful. While Brooke initially accepted his offer and the two shared a romantic evening, she soon made it clear that she wasn't ready to pursue a serious relationship.

Though Hollis tried again a few months later, even sharing a heated kiss with Brooke, she ultimately turned him down. Brooke’s rejection of Hollis came at a time when she was navigating her complex relationship with Ridge Forrester.

Though Taylor Hayes, her longtime rival, had encouraged the match between Brooke and Hollis, it became evident that Brooke was still emotionally tied to Ridge. Hollis, while disappointed, continued to focus on his job at Il Giardino, subtly remaining in the background as the romantic drama surrounding Brooke and Ridge played out.

Despite his minor role, Hollis’ attention toward Brooke Logan added another layer to her story. As Brooke struggled with her feelings, Hollis provided a temporary distraction, though it became clear she wasn’t ready to move on from her past relationships. This left Hollis in a vulnerable position, which ultimately set the stage for his deeper involvement in other aspects of the storyline at Il Giardino.

What was the mystery behind Hollis' death on The Bold and The Beautiful?

The mystery behind Hollis’ death was directly tied to the arrival of Luna, a woman with a complicated past. Initially, Hollis’ murder appeared to be random, but as the investigation unfolded, it became clear that there were deeper motives at play.

Hollis had stumbled upon incriminating information while investigating the death of Tom Starr. His discovery of the letters in Tom’s backpack put him in danger. Despite warnings from Sheila to drop the matter, Hollis was determined to uncover the truth, which tragically led to his demise.

In a recent development, Luna, who had been harboring secrets of her own, was revealed as the culprit behind Hollis’ murder. The police investigation discovered that Luna had killed not only Hollis but also her father, Tom, further complicating the already tangled web of relationships on the show.

Luna's actions were driven by her desire to protect her life with Bill Spencer. She manipulated events to make it look like Poppy was committing murders. The truth of Luna's motives and that she had killed to keep her way of life was a shocking blow to the characters on The Bold and the Beautiful.

This really hits Poppy particularly hard now that it has finally come out that Luna framed her to cover her crimes. The facts were further compounded because Bill had been involved in the situation, as Luna had kissed Bill twice.
