Taylor has played important roles on the soap in the past. She is the ex-wife of Ridge Forrester and the mother of their daughter Steffy. In the recent conflict between the Forresters and the Logans, Taylor has also been a pillar of support for Steffy, taking her daughter's side whenever possible.
However, many fans of the soap have been feeling that Taylor has not brought much to the storyline in the recent episode. A post on Facebook sparked a discussion among netizens who had opinions about Taylor and her impact on the show. A user named Elaine Mitchell posted on Facebook:

"If Taylor left B&B, what impact would it have on the show? Zero impact as her role has zero purpose."
Many fans agreed with the original post in the comments, speculating that Taylor's absence would not significantly change the current storyline other than the equation she shares with Ridge.
Some netizens took the debate further by speculating that the show might be better off if Taylor featured less.
However, a few viewers also sided with the character's presence on the show, pointing out that she might have a bigger storyline in future episodes.
What is Taylor Hayes' current storyline on The Bold and the Beautiful?
Taylor Hayes' character returned to The Bold and the Beautiful in 2024 and has been on the soap since her re-entry. She was initially diagnosed with a heart syndrome that made up most of her storyline. Currently, she resides in the Forrester Mansion with her daughter, Steffy, and her former husband, Ridge Forrester.
In the recent storyline on the soap, Taylor rekindled a romance with Ridge even though he has been with Brooke Logan long-term. This has led to much tension between Brooke and Ridge, with Brooke finally snapping and letting her anger against both of them loose. This has also impacted the power struggle between the Logan and Forrester families. It remains to be seen what role Taylor's presence on the show plays in the story ahead.
Audiences can watch The Bold and the Beautiful online via CBS and Paramount+. New episodes of the soap are released on all weekdays via the platforms.
