The Bold and the Beautiful: Grace Buckingham's history on the soap
Grace Buckingham, played by Cassandra Creech, landed on The Bold and the Beautiful storyline on January 10, 2022, surprising her daughter Paris Buckingham. As per the plot, Zende Forrester had arranged for the mother-daughter reunion as a gift for Paris. Grace promptly took to Zende and pushed her daughter to stick to him.
While Paris was not getting together with Zende at her mother's insistence, she nonetheless was happy to have Grace in her life. As such, when Grace announced she quit her previous hospital and was joining a hospital in LA, Paris was overjoyed. Grace is a morally straight doctor as against her husband, Reese Buckingham, who had stolen Hope's baby to sell it to Steffy.
When Grace saw Paris getting close to Carter Walton, she warned Carter against hurting her daughter. But, Zende did not propose to Paris, as Grace had hoped, but Carter did, which Paris accepted. However, Carter left Paris at her wedding and the dejected girl came to Grace for solace.
December 2023 on the soap saw Grace giving Katie health updates after her latest checkups. In September 2024, Taylor Hayes revealed to Li about having serious heart problems. When Ridge found her former wife unconscious, the information reached him. Just like Dr. Li, Ridge also urged Taylor to see a cardiologist in LA.
On the October 3, 2024, episode, Taylor is set to visit cardiologist Grace Buckingham. Whether Grace has innovative solutions to give Taylor some respite from imminent death remains to be seen.
