The Monte-Carlo TV Festival is an annual event honoring the best of TV. Many celebrities come on the French Riviera to enjoy the idyllic and glamorous location. This year's festival will be held on Jun 9-13 at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco. Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) and Don Diamont (Bill) will represent B&B at the festival this year.

Per Heather's Facebook page, the show will air in June. Good luck to Heather and James on the new venture. (Apr 28, 2013)
Ashley told zap2it that she's happy about the return since it gives her "fun stuff" to do, and she felt Bridget is " too cool a character to come back and just sit in the background." The actress also said she'd be open for more appearances, since B&B is flexible enough to accomodate her doing other projects while working on the daytime drama. Bridget was mentioned in the recent episode where Bill was hurt in the car crash, but seeing her on-screen is even better. Look for her return to screen on Wednesday, May 22. (Apr 15, 2013)
With The Young & The Restless having recently launched a fashion story with cosmetics company Jabot starting a clothing line, the Abbotts will need a good shutterbug to take pics of their outfits. So they call on Forrester's ace shutterbug Oliver, with Zack Conroy reprising his (currently recurring) B&B role. Conroy tapes his Y&R episodes on April 17, which means they should air in late May.

CBS Soaps in Depth reports that Heather's son Zane Achor - Heather and husband James Achor had their first child late last year - will be playing Katie's son Will starting on Wednesday, April 17. This isn't the first time a B&B actress has had her real-life child playing her character's child, as Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) had her son, Jeremy Snider, playing young Eric Forrester Jr. from 1991-95, until Eric Jr. was SORAS'ed into Steven Hartman's adolescent Rick.

With Victor Newman (again) marrying on-and-off spouse Nikki for the umpteenth time, Eric will appear on Y&R on March 18 and 19 to design Nikki's wedding gown. TV Guide reports that in addition to sharing scenes with Eric Braeden (Victor) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki), McCook will also interact with Tracey E Bregman - who crossed over to B&B years ago as longtime Forrester friend (and Eric's squeeze for a time) Lauren Fenmore - and her on-screen hubby Christian LeBlanc (Michael Baldwin), and he'll also get to work with Kristoff St. John. St. John's character, Neil Winters, is helming the entry of Abbott family cosmetics business Jabot into the world of fashion; will Eric and Neil share some shop talk? Or maybe trash-talk between rivals now that Jabot is headed for the runways? Former Genoa City to L.A. transplant Eileen Davidson (Ashley Abbott) was also on the Y&R set for those episodes; Davidson now plays DAYS OF OUR LIVES Kristen, but she came back to reprise the role of Ashley on Y&R for the big occasion. Check out TV Guide's interview with McCook for more on Eric's visit to Genoa City, and also comments on his current B&B romance with Taylor.

A report on deadline.com states that the CBS Television Network is poised to renew B&B (which was last renewed by the network for two years in early 2011). The network's decision is likely based on ratings increases, as B&B currently averages 3.44 million total viewers (+6% from last year), 1.6/9 in women 25-54 (+14%) and 1.1/7 in women 18-49 (+10%). Other good news for daytime in the report is that ABC has no plans to cancel the long running soap GENERAL HOSPITAL. The soap is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary on the air in April, averages 3 million viewers (+16%), a 1.6/9 in women 25-54 (no change) and 1.2/7 in women 18-49 (+9%), despite being moved to a new time slot in September 2012 (to make room for the syndicated Katie Couric talk show). Young & The Restless, the highest-rated daytime drama, is two years into a three-year pickup, and DAYS OF OUR LIVES was recently renewed by NBC. So depite the gloom and doom of recent years, fans of those shows will still be watching them for the foreseeable future. (Jan 27, 2013)

The Las Vegas production of Rock of Ages opened in previews on Tuesday, December 18 at The Venetian, with Lowder playing the key role of rock star Stacee Jax. The show will have its official opening night on January 5, 2013, but Lowder told Soap Opera Digest that they are already pulling in packed crowds during previews. "The energy that I have from the experience is incredible. If you want to be entertained for the evening, and sing along to some epic '80s tunes, this is definitely the show for you," he told the magazine. The play Rock of Ages has another B&B connection since Constantine Maroulis, who originated the role of Drew in the Broadway and L.A. productions, played Constantine Parros on B&B in 2007, opposite Lowder and Mackenzie Mauzy. To get tickets to the Las Vegas production, visit the Rock of Ages web site. (Dec 23, 2012)

Karla Mosley and Lawrence Saint-Victor, who played husband and wife Christina and Remy Boudreau on the now-canceled daytime drama, have been cast in contract roles on B&B. Mosley debuts on January 17 as Maya Avant, a young woman from Dayzee's Skid Row past whose presence doesn't exactly thrill Dayzee, while Saint-Victor arrives on January 29 as Carter Walton, looking to reconnect with his adoptive brother, Marcus. A rep for B&B told TV Guide that the connection between the actors from their former show had nothing to do with their casting. "We went for the two best actors possible. These new characters are not connected, though they will arrive on the show in close proximity," the rep stated.

Ty had a romance with series main character Annie Wilson which ended after it came out that he got Adriana pregnant after a one-night stand. After the baby was born in the season finale, Ty was never seen again. Now the character is returning for one episode to air in December or January, a "What If" that shows how Ty would have turned out had Annie never moved to Beverly Hills. B&B often allows actors leeway to work in other projects, so the single episode of 90210 likely won't impact his work on the soap.

In addition, a touch of the Irish will be a part of the party, with the Irish all-female musical ensemble Celtic Woman attending (thanks to Eric) to serenade Stephanie. The group has included 11 women over the years, with the current touring ensemble of vocalists Chloë Agnew, Lisa Lambe, and Susan McFadden and Celtic Violinist Máiréad Nesbitt appearing on B&B. Celtic Woman will appear as themselves on November 12 and 13, when they perform their hit single, “The Parting Glass” - a song dedicated to Stephanie by her loving husband, Eric - and the classic Irish melody, “Danny Boy”. “I can’t think of a more beautiful way to pay tribute to the character of Stephanie Forrester and her Irish heritage than to bring in Celtic Woman to serenade her,” said B&B Executive Producer and Head Writer Bradley Bell. “Their distinctive voice and angelic melodies were the perfect accompaniment to this powerful and emotional storyline.” Also on November 13, Shannon Colvin, Melanie Kane, Kaitlyn Kelly and Maggie Fitzpatrick portray Irish Dancers, with Kate O’Connor as their choreographer. With this story paving the way for the exit of Susan Flannery as Stephanie, these episodes are sure to be special. (Oct 28, 2012)

Soap Opera Network first confirmed their own report, going back to representatives at Bold and Beautiful and to the actor's management. A B&B rep and Kanan's manager confirmed that Kanan was coming back, attributing the actor's comments in social media to the fact that he wasn't aware that B&B was releasing the information to the press. This was followed by tweets from Kanan as well as reports at other sites. CBS Soaps In Depth lists the actor's first airdate in this return stint as September 19. The exact duration of Deacon's return has not been disclosed, although Soap Opera Network states he will only be on for a few episodes.

While exact details were still unclear, an inside source told the entertainment magazine that the actor elected not to renew his contract over salary issues. Moss was not available for comment when the news broke, but as fans reacted across social media outlets, he eventually broke his silence on his Twitter account on Sunday with responses. When one fan asked if the fans mattered, Moss tweeted back, "You matter so much. More than you know. Will explain soon. Please be with us. We need you more than ever. All of you. Love." Another fan had tweeted Moss' longtime co-star Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) with questions about the news, and Moss replied, "Try not to be sad. Will explain in a couple days. Hang in there with us. We love you guys." Moss also added this tweet: "I can't even tell you all how much I LOVE YOU all so frickin' much. You're the best. The Best!!" A show representative confirmed the news of Moss departure to EW, offering the folling statement: "Ronn has spent an amazing 25 years with B&B. We will always consider him family, and we wish him only the best in all of his future endeavors." Although many cast members have come and gone over the years as roles were recast and new characters came on, Moss was one of the so-called "core four" who remained on B&B from day 1, along with Susan Flannery as Stephanie, John McCook as Eric and Katherine Kelly Lang as Brooke. Moss will shoot his final scenes for The Bold and the Beautiful this Tuesday, Aug. 14, and his last episode will air on a yet-to-be-determined date in September. What does the future hold for The Bold and the Beautiful without Ridge in the mix? Can the show rebound without the popular Moss in the cast? And what does the future hold for Moss as his status quo changes? Stay tuned as details are revealed. (Aug 13, 2012)

Ronn and I were in a horrible car accident yesterday that involved 8 cars and totaled our brand new truck. An old guy came out of no where and hit two cars before hitting us that caused us to spin a 360 and hit several other cars including a lamp post that fell on top of the truck. It was quite a scene and poor Ronn had a bad bump on his head that was bleeding along with a shoulder injury. I'm pretty sore and bruised. But we are so blessed to be alive and grateful no one else was hurt. Shows you how precious life is and how quickly something like this can change it. She then elaborated on the experience more on their blog. Based on subsequent posts on Facebook and Twitter tweets, the couple are still healing. Wishing them the best for a speedy recovery.

CBS Soaps in Depth reports that the actress has an understanding with B&B Executive Producer and Head Writer Brad Bell about scheduling around her production work, so Karen will take a break to accomodate her. "Unfortunately, Joanna's time is being taken up with this new show," a show spokesperson told the magazine. "Her storyline is not necessarily going away, but it's being refocused."

TV Guide's Michael Logan reports that Sean Kanan will reprise the role of Deacon on The Bold and the Beautiful, starting on May 24. Sean originated the role on B&B in 2000, when Rick sought Deacon out to derail Amber's impending marriage to CJ, and continued in the part until his involvement with Jackie got him hooked on alcohol again in 2005. The character was mentioned a few times after, but stayed off camera. In 2009, Deacon surfaced on B&B's sister show, The Young & the Restless, getting involved first with his former B&B paramour Amber before making his way into the lives of the Baldwin and Newman families in Genoa City. Sean was written off Y&R in early 2012 when Deacon's involvement in the Diane Jenkins murder case was exposed, although there were reports he might return to Y&R in the spring. Instead, he's coming back to B&B. B&B has not revealed a lot of details about Kanan's return, or about how long he will be in L.A., but TV Guide learned that Deacon will be working with Bill Spencer as part of Bill's plans to keep his son Liam and Deacon's daughter Hope apart. Stay tuned for more news as it develops, and welcome back to B&B, Mr. Kanan. (Apr 23, 2012)

In the episodes in May, Caroline will tell her Uncle Bill and her boyfriend Thomas that she actually has two mothers. Other soaps have told gay story lines, such as Chappell's story as Olivia Spencer when she was on Guiding Light, but this is a first for B&B. The World of B&B welcomes Ms. Chappell to the B&B canvas and wishes her luck with her new role. (Apr 12, 2012)

"Sooooooo I couldn't wait to share this news with you guys... after 4 auditions I report to THE BOLD & BEAUTIFUL 2mor!! Only God...#sograteful." The actress said she was not able to share what role she was playing, but CBS Soaps in Depth reports that she will be playing a model in an episode scheduled to air on Tuesday, May 8.

TV Guide reports that B&B is returning to Aspen the week of March 12 to tape a series of episodes that will air starting on April 20 and continuing into May. The week of March 12 is Aspen Fashion Week, so B&B will take advantage of the fashion related event and reflect that in the story. As with the last visit to Aspen, the events of the remote trip will focus on the triangle of Liam (played by Scott Clifton), Hope (Kim Matula) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood). When one member of the trio is involved in a life-threatening accident, the doctor who comes to the rescue may look familiar to fans of CBS Daytime, since he'll be played by Jon Hensley, formerly Holden Snyder on As The World Turns. The doctor has not been given a name yet, but he appears in two episodes that will air on May 1-2. Hensley was a fan-favorite on ATWT as Holden, so the World of B&B looks forward to seeing him appear on B&B for those two episodes. (Mar 12, 2012)
In an attempt to improve the voting system, a new nomination system was adopted this year based on input from the daytime drama community. Actors submitted their names in the category they felt appropriate for their work. A ballot containing a full list of entrants in each of the six actor categories was sent to registered, eligible peer judges. The ballot contained an unrevealed and randomized order of performers in each category, regardless of their show affiliation. Judges were required to view clips containing the work of each performer entry before selecting their top 10 performer choices in each category. The judges sent their ballots directly to Lutz & Carr, an independent accounting firm, who tabulated the results and selected the 10 candidates who received the most votes in each category as pre-nominees in that category. (The lead actor category, due to a tie, has 11 pre-nominees.) The Bold and the Beautiful was represented in pre-nominations by Susan Flannery (Stephanie) and Heather Tom (Katie) for Outstanding Lead Actress; Don Diamont (Bill) and John McCook (Eric) for Outstanding Lead Actor; Scott Clifton (Liam) for Outstanding Supporting Actor; Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy) and Kim Matula (Hope) for for Outstanding Younger Actress; and Adam Gregory for Outstanding Younger Actor. For a list of all pre-nominees in each category from all shows, click here. The pre-nominees now advance to the blue ribbon at-home screening round, scheduled to begin on March 27th, 2012, which will determine both nominees and winners. Congratulations and good luck to all the pre-nominees! (Mar 04, 2012)

In November, 2010, when Amber romanced Oliver to get access to Forrester designs, Oliver decided to dress up in a cowboy hat, boots and his briefs and serenade Ms. Moore while playing a guitar. Noting similarities to The Naked Cowboy, a New York City mainstay who wears that type of attire while playing his guitar in Times Square, CBS posted a clip on YouTube titled "The Bold and The Beautiful -- Naked Cowboy" and purchased adword advertising using the term "naked cowboy". But that didn't sit well with Robert Burck, the Times Square performer who created his trademarked persona as the Cowboy. Burck alleged that the scenes on the show infringed on his trademarked brand and tarnished his image, "confusing" people who watched the soap, so he filed a lawsuit against CBS demanding that the network pay him the show's $1.5 million in ad revenue. Last week, Judge Barbara Jones dismissed the case, saying that use of the trademarked "Naked Cowboy" name on YouTube only, and not on the show, was a non-trademark use that was used only to explain the content of the clip, not as a mark identifying the source of the video. She also noted several distinct elements of Burck's outfit that were not present in Oliver's. Burck's attorney stated that he and his client would review their options under the law. (Feb 27, 2012)

Ronn Moss (Ridge) shared photos of him with his on-screen partner, Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke) and of "the crew" - him with Katherine, John McCook (Eric), Susan Flannery (Stephanie) and Winsor Harmon (Thorne), while Katherine shared a photo of the show's 4 remaining original cast members (herself, Moss, McCook and Flannery). Adam Gregory (Thomas) added a montage of pictures from the day, including the cover of the episode script.

So what's the big Forrester family gathering about this time?

TV Guide reports that Joanna Johnson is returning to B&B on Tuesday, March 27 to reprise the role of Karen Spencer, Bill's sister. Longtime fans will recall that Johnson was an original cast member on B&B as Caroline Spencer, playing the role from the show's first episode until Caroline tragically passed in 1990. A year later, Johnson returned to the show as Caroline's twin sister Karen, who had been kidnapped as an infant and reunited with her father as an adult. Johnson played Karen from 1991-1995 and then reprised the role, first for a handful of episodes paving the way for the introduction of her brother Bill in 2009 and then later for several episodes in the summer of 2011. The big surprise, according to TV Guide, is that Karen won't be coming to L.A. alone this time. She'll be bringing along her never-before-seen, or even mentioned, daughter Caroline Spencer, named after Karen's late twin. Linsey Godfrey will play Caroline, a design student looking to land a job at Forrester Creations, with her mom bringing her to L.A. for the interview. Viewers will meet Caroline for the first time, but the characters on B&B will already know her, and When Caroline settles in, she'll accept an offer to live in one of Stephanie's guest houses on the grounds of the Forrester mansion. Godfrey is new to daytime, but she has appeared in prime time and cable on shows like WIZARDS OF WAVERLY PLACE, SUITE LIFE ON DECK, CSI: MIAMI and ONE TREE HILL. Adding to the buzz about the new character is a statement by a B&B rep to TV Guide's Michael Logan that Caroline "is not related by blood to anyone on B&B, which makes her available to all the show's young men." That begs the question, what about her Uncle Bill and Cousin Liam? Tune in on March 27 to meet the latest member of the Spencer clan. (Feb 12, 2012)
A statement on the actor's Wagner World website on Thursday stated: We have just learned that Jack Wagner's option on his two year contract has not been picked up with The Bold and the Beautiful. We do not know if he will be leaving the show or staying on recurring basis, but with his lack of storyline in recent years, we highly doubt we will be seeing much more of Nick Marone. With Leslie-Anne Down's [sic] contract also not renewed and Brandon Beemer's move to recurring, it looks like the ship has sailed on the Morone [sic] clan. Wagner signed a new contract with the show in September, but soap contracts work in cycles where the producers have the option to opt out at the end of a cycle. What will the future hold for Wagner? As the message states, recurring status is the possibility, but there may be other opportunities. Some have suggested Wagner might land back at General Hospital as Frisco Jones, since that show has been bringing back fan favorites from the 80s. Stay tuned for more news when it's available. (Feb 05, 2012)

When TV Guide asked about Pam's reaction when she's busted for her misdeeds, Mills responds: This could take her to a very dark place. It never occurred to her that she'd get caught. She doesn't have anybody left in her life. No friends. No men. This is bad. In addition, Mills also spills that she's heard from on-screen mom Betty White (whose character, Ann Douglas, passed on-screen in 2009) about a possible reprisal of her B&B role: Betty White told me they've asked her to return to the show even though her character is dead. I don't know how they can do that. She'll probably be haunting Pam in the mirror. Click here to read the full interview. (Jan 29, 2012)

Regarding her choice to join the B&B cast after OLTL was canceled, Smith shared: To be perfectly honest, what drew me to this role was the opportunity to work with [executive producer] Brad Bell… and that’s basically it. [Laughs] I also have a lot of friends that work on Bold and the Beautiful and [CBS sister soap] Young and the Restless, but I just have a great admiration for the Bell family and a great respect for Brad and what he does, and that for me was enough. I could have gone on that show as a janitor and I would have been happy to have the experience to work with him. [Laughs] As for what Dr. Stacy will be doing when she arrives on our screens, Smith added: Brad called and gave me a little thumbnail sketch of who I’d be working with and what I’d be doing. I’m going to be working very closely with a contract player and helping them deal with a crisis, so that works for me. Click here to read the full interview. (Jan 29, 2012)

TMZ reported on Thursday that the LAPD has prepared a file on the fight between the couple that occurred in late December at Jack's San Fernando Valley home. Police were called to the home after a heated argument between the couple allegedly got physical, with one law enforcement source saying, "She lost it on him and he retaliated." Neither Jack nor Heather wanted to press charges, but police were required to file a report with the City Attorney for review, and now the L.A. prosecutors will hold an informal meeting by the end of the month to decide if misdemeanor charges should be filed against either party or if the matter should be dropped.

Rodriguez has the title role in Filly Brown, a film co-directed by Youssef Delara and Michael Olmos about a budding young hip-hop artist from Los Angeles whose chance at stardom via a shady producer may mean leaving her true friends behind.

Despite his popularity as half of the "Jowen" couple, Brandon Beemer (Owen) has been taken off contract. The hunk joined B&B in 2008 as the investigator who hunted down Marcus' bio-mom Donna, only to later link up with the Marone crowd in 2009. More recently, Jackie let Owen go so he could raise his son Logan with Bridget, although episodes last week hinted at a possible Jowen reunion that now might not happen. In addition, Zack Conroy (Oliver) has also been taken off contract. Conroy joined the B&B cast in 2010 as Aggie Jones' brother and Whip's cousin who fell for Brooke's daughter Hope, but with Aggie and Whip both phased out and Hope linked to Liam, Oliver has recently done little more than day-player duty as the Forrester photographer and audio-visual guy. A rep for B&B told the magazine that both actors would appear on recurring status as needed, including scenes with Owen, Jackie and Bridget (played by Ashley Jones) playing into a February Sweeps storyline next month. (Jan 18, 2012)

This isn't the first time Wagner's soap role and musical career have overlapped. When he played Frisco Jones on General Hospital, Wagner scored a top 40 single in both real life and on the show in 1984 with "All I Need." Several other singles and albums followed. In 2004, a year after joining the B&B cast, Wagner started contributing music that he performed as Nick on the show, starting with Nick and Brooke's theme at the time, "Going Back Again." Nick continued to write music for the ladies in his life, Brooke, Felicia and Bridget.

On November 17, Wagner (who played Frisco Jones on General Hospital) performed in a concert on a Florida cruise ship with fellow GH alum Rick Springfield (ex-Noah). While they were backstage, Wagner was approached by a 23 year old young woman named Kerry who revealed that she's his daughter whom he'd given up for adoption in the late '80s. When Kerry showed him a photo of her biological mother, Wagner recognized the woman. The next night, Wagner invited Kerry on stage with him and revealed to the audience that he'd been with her mother years ago and learned nine months later that she was pregnant with his child and giving the baby up for adoption. Kerry was raised in a foster home, but had hired a private investigator to find her biological parents. Wagner also has two sons with ex-wife Kristina Wagner (ex-Felicia, GH), Peter, 21 and Harrison, 16. (Nov 23, 2011)
In a statement, Bell said, “I am pleased to announce that Michele Val Jean will be joining our writing team.

CBS Soaps In Depth reports that actress Gina Rodriguez has been cast in the recurring role of Beverly, a friend of Dayzee’s from the shelter.

A graduate of New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and a member of the Atlantic Theatre Company/Experimental Theatre Company, Rodriguez also has a background as a dancer, with 11 years experience.

Princess Theodora is the daughter of the former King Constantine II of Greece, and his wife, Anne-Marie of Denmark. In addition to being recognized as one of the world’s most eligible royals by Forbes magazine in 2008, the Princess also studied acting in the United States, receiving a BA in theater arts at Brown University. She currently lives in Los Angeles, where she has landed some acting roles under the name Theodora Greece. She also has a role in The Big Valley, the upcoming big screen reboot of the classic TV western. Around the same time, look for some other figures from sports and entertainment to have small roles on B&B. Former National Hockey League sensation Marty McSorley, known as a top enforcer on the ice, will appear – in a fitting role – as the head of security for Forrester Creations on December 5. Nicole Fox, winner of America’s Next Top Model’s thirteenth season, will appear as a Forrester model on December 1, 6 and 7. Also, look for a few of B&B’s familiar recurring faces to show up. With the Forresters putting on a fashion show, it’s no surprise that Todd McKee is back as tennis pro turned FC jack of all trades Jake Maclaine on December 5. And with Forrester and Jackie M getting busy, look for Ashley Jones to make another appearance as Bridget on Thursday, December 8. (Oct 18, 2011)
Earlier this year, cable network TNT announced a continuation of the saga of the Ewing family in a new Dallas series, starting in Summer, 2012, with Hagman, Duffy and Linda Gray (JR’s ex-wife Sue Ellen, also ex-Priscilla, B&B) reprising their roles. Filming began this week on the new series, on location in Dallas. Duffy will obviously be spending time in the show’s title city as production ramps up for the Summer, 2012 debut. But B&B reps have stated that the actor remains a recurring member of the B&B cast as Stephen, so the return to the iconic role does not mean Stephen will be completely missing from B&B.

No firm details have been disclosed, although one blogger from Pheto's hometown blogged that she would be sharing "screen time with B&B icons like Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang), Ridge (Ronn Moss) and Taylor (Hunter Tylo)." B&B is an extremely popular soap in South Africa, so the soap sought to cast a native actress from the country to cater to that audience. Pheto has appeared on numerous magazine covers and is a former face of L'Oreal Paris, and she also played the role of Miriam in the 2006 Oscar-winning best foreign language film, Tsotsi. "This is the opportunity of a lifetime and I look forward to sharing the screen with my soapie heroes Katherine Kelly Lang and Susan Flannery, while sinking my thespian teeth into a challenging role," Pheto told South African reporters. Local audiences are thrilled to have her on the show, even though her scenes won't even hit the screens in her country until 2012. (June 08, 2011)

Speculation started about the actress' status when previews of the new opening credits (which debuted on air on February 21) showed that she was not included. Early previews had several actors missing, but then the final version debuted on air without Sarah/Aggie. Some time after, B&B confirmed that the actress was now recurring. A rep for the show reports that the actress will continue to appear on a recurring basis.
The actor told the magazine, "Brad [Bell, executive producer/head writer] called this morning and said he felt terrible that they haven't been able to generate enough story for the character. He felt it was in everybody's best interest that we go in different directions. From my standpoint, it's an amicable situation. Obviously, it's their choice, but at the same time, the story has been slow for over a year-and-a-half, and like any professional in any line of work would do, you prepare yourself for the next step. So, it wasn't a surprise that it was going to happen, but it was handled in the most respectful way and I have huge respect for Brad. I had a great four years there and I thank him for the opportunity. And now, onto the next thing." The World of B&B thanks Kyle for his tenure as Rick and wishes him the best in his future projects.

Many fans speculated that Justin might be related to Olivia and her family when he first appeared on B&B in August, 2009, since his last name of Barber was the maiden name of Olivia and her presumed dead sister Drucilla. But that was never confirmed – until now. Williams tells the magazine: Apparently [B&B exec producer] Brad Bell had this idea back when he named Aaron’s character — he just didn’t let any of us know about it. We’re just actors. Who knows what goes on behind the veil of Oz? B&B is keeping mum about the details of the special event that brings Olivia to L.A., but they tell Logan that it’s a B&B first. (Jan 07, 2011)

The MTV series, DEATH VALLEY, casts Battle as an agent for the Undead Task Force who protects the world from zombies, werewolves and vampires. 12 episodes will be filmed starting in January, for airing in May or June.

When I do other things, I’ll tell people, ‘I’m appearing on this or that,’ but I’m on B&B. That’s my main thing, that I always come back to.” The actor also points out that Marcus has lots to do in early 2011 between his budding romance with Dayzee and his biological parents, Donna and Justin, becoming close. “It’s a good time for me on B&B,” Battle states.

The actress first appeared on B&B on October 7, 2010 on a recurring basis as the young homeless woman who worked her “magic” in Skid Row and inspired Stephanie Forrester to seek treatment for her cancer. Since then, she has continued to appear in that vein, but B&B Executive Producer and Head Writer felt it was time to move the character forward. “Kristolyn is a gifted young actress and I’m happy to have her as a permanent member of the B&B family,” said Bell. “As we moved forward in telling the story of the plight of the homeless, I realized that the character of ‘Dayzee’ had so much more to offer and needed to stick around to make sure that everyone kept their ‘new set of glasses’ on!” Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Lloyd graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Drama. She soon began booking roles in stage productions such as “Romeo and Juliet”, “As You Like It”, “Slide Glide the Slippery Slope”, “Hamlet”, “Hello Again”, “Urinetown”, and “Once on this Island”, a Reprise Theater Company production. She most recently starred in the Hollywood Bowl production of “Rent”, directed by Neil Patrick Harris. Her television credits include an appearance on the hit drama ER, starring alongside one of Lloyd’s acting idols, Angela Bassett. The World of B&B congratulates Kristolyn on her new status, and we look forward to seeing more of Dayzee’s story unfold. (Dec 20, 2010)

Rumblings started when Frantz reportedly stated that she was leaving Y&R. A report in CBS Soaps in Depth stated that sources at Y&R claimed the actress was due to tape her last episode of Y&R in April. Once those reports came out, speculation began that Frantz might take Amber back to B&B, especially since B&B Executive Producer and Head Writer Bradley Bell had said he would love to work with Frantz again given the opportunity. On April 6, Frantz updated her Facebook status to say, "I will be going back to B&B!! I AM VERY HAPPY!" Some took that to be official word that Frantz was returning to B&B, but then the MSN Soaps Superfan blog spoke to a B&B rep and got some more information. The rep said that Frantz's return to B&B was in the works, but no contracts were signed yet. And until a contract was signed, Frantz's return was not official. To add to the mystery, Soap Opera Digest reported in the April 20 issue that their source claimed Frantz, who also played Amber's twin April on B&B in 2003, might end up playing each sister on a different show. Lots of reports are out there. But what's the final word? Stay tuned! (Apr 09, 2010)

But even though they didn't come out in first place, the amount of work Ronn and Sara put into their dancing throughout the season is undeniable. Looking back through the videos over the 10 weeks, the progress Ronn made is evident. What makes his achievement that much more remarkable is the fact that after competing each Saturday for most of the competition, Ronn flew back to L.A., rested briefly, put in two days of hard work at B&B and then flew back to Rome in time to only get a day or so to learn his next dance. For more about the finale, check out the blog by Ronn's wife Devin at their blog site. The World of B&B congratulates Ronn on his second place standing in the competition and acknowledges all his hard work.

Betty's vast body of work includes her work on sitcoms like The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Golden Girls as well as her portrayal of Stephanie and Pam's mother Ann Douglas on B&B that ended on a high note when Ann passed away in November. And the actress might be busy again on the sitcom front in the future: TV Land recently announced a new pilot called "Hot in Cleveland" which would feature White. The pilot stars Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves and Wendie Malick as "three fabulous, LA women of a certain age and best friends" whose "lives are changed forever when their plane unexpectedly lands in Cleveland." The women then attempt to rediscover themselves in this new "promised land," moving in under under one roof and battling their sassy, property caretaker, played by White. Betty's role would be recurring if the pilot is picked up as a series.

It was officiated by the city's mayor, Sindaco Antonio Lo Presti, and attended by thousands of members of the public and numerous local press. A celebratory procession through the streets preceded the ceremony, with the Gareis family riding on an ornate horse-drawn Sicilian cart, accompanied by the music of a traditional Sicilian band and a medieval flag-waving troop. During the procession, Gareis and her family were besieged for autographs by the throng, and many handed their small children to Gareis to hold for photos. After the ceremony, Gareis saluted the crowd with cries of "Viva Militello!" as fireworks lit up the sky. (May 15, 2009)

Diamont is no stranger to the Bell Family daytime drama dynasty. He is best known for his 22-year stint as Brad Carlton on The Young and the Restless, which was created by B&B's co-creators, the late William J. Bell and his wife Lee Phillip Bell. A New York native, Diamont lives in Los Angeles with his fiancée, Cindy Ambuehl, and their children. When he is not working, he enjoys spending time with his family, cycling and playing basketball. After his niece, Alyssa, was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), he founded the Don Diamont/Alyssa Mazur Foundation at UCLA’s MS Research and Treatment Center to raise funds for MS research. Diamont was named "Ambassador of the Year" by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society for his devoted work and efforts to find a cure for this crippling disease.

B&B executive producer and head writer Bradley Bell included the following in a memo to the cast and crew of B&B: "Jerry was a close personal friend of mine and the best man at my parent's wedding. He has been and always will be an important part of our lives, our shows, and our family. He had a zest for life and lived his gloriously. A true ad man and writer, Jerry loved everyone and everything at Y&R and B&B, and was very proud to be a beloved member of our shows. Jerry's quick-wit and vibrant sense of humor will continue to resonate in our hallways, on our stages, and in our hearts. He is already greatly missed." Birn's wife, Patty Weaver Birn (Gina, Y&R), was by his side when he passed away on what was also the date of their 15th wedding anniversary. His daughter Laura Bryan Birn appeared as Y&R's Lynn from 1988 to 2004. A memorial service is being planned for January 2010. (Dec 10, 2009)
“Darlene understood better than anyone that each moment of airtime was precious”, said Bradley P. Bell, Executive Producer and Head Writer of The Bold and the Beautiful. “She constantly entertained us with every move, every breath, every inflection of her voice. Whether she was the villain, the damsel, the sexpot, or the comedienne, Darlene was brilliant. An extraordinary actress of film, radio, stage and television, my family had the privilege and honor of Darlene gracing our shows for three decades. She was truly one-of-a-kind. We will miss her beyond measure.” Born in Chicago, Illinois on July 18, 1934, of Irish-German heritage, she was discovered at age 15 by legendary Broadway impresario Jed Harris who cast her as the Irish maid in a touring production of the 19th century melodrama The Heiress, which starred Basil Rathbone. After graduating high school, she toured the country with classical theater companies before appearing in Shakespearean roles on Broadway with the Helen Hayes Repertory Theater. She later appeared in a Broadway revival of the Night of the Iguana, with Richard Chamberlain, and in David Merrick’s musical The Baker’s Wife. Her Los Angeles theater credits included Cyrano de Bergerac and Night of the Iguana (both with Chamberlain), The Time of the Cuckoo with Jean Stapleton and Ring Around the Moon with Michael York. A varied film career followed, starting with her being cast in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds." Daytime television became home to Conley, who once said “It (daytime) is really the best medium today for women of a certain age to do something really flashy; it’s where what we do well as actresses matters.” Conley portrayed Edith Baker on Days of Our Lives, Louie on Capitol and Trixie Monahan on General Hospital before being given the role of the nefarious Rose de Ville, by the late William J. Bell, on The Young and Restless. When Bell co-created The Bold and the Beautiful with his wife Lee Phillip-Bell, he envisioned a special role for Conley, the role of Sally Spectra. Conley showcased her dramatic range and abilities with the character, and over the years has portrayed an exotic repertoire of offbeat flamboyant characters within the role. As Sally, Conley was a master of disguises including Mae West, a German spy, an Italian gigolo, a nun, and even a rendition of another B&B character, Massimo Marone. For her portrayal of Sally Spectra on The Bold and the Beautiful, Conley was nominated for two Daytime Emmy Awards and six Soap Opera Digest Awards. Additionally, Conley has the distinction of being the only daytime star to be chosen by the world famous Madame Tussaud’s to have her character, Sally Spectra, displayed in their gallery of wax figures, in both Amsterdam and Las Vegas. Conley is survived by her son, Raymond Woodson, ex-husband Bill Woodson, sisters Carol Fontana and Sharon Mylan, a host of nieces and nephews, her long time friend and caretaker, Eva Hansen and her manager of 24 years, Sandra Siegal.
Bell began his career in television in 1956 writing for Guiding Light before co-creating Our Private World and Another World. He was also a writer on As the World Turns from 1957-1966 and later became the head writer of Days of Our Lives in 1966. In 1973, while Bell was still the head writer on Days of Our Lives, he and his wife, Lee Phillip Bell, created The Young and the Restless. The series has been the Number One daytime program week after week for more than 16 years and has received numerous Emmy Awards, including six for Outstanding Drama Series, most recently in 2004, three as a writer for The Young and the Restless, five as the show’s producer and one as a writer for Days of Our Lives. Bell received the Governor’s Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (ATAS).. In 1987, the Bells co-created the hit CBS daytime drama, The Bold and the Beautiful. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Emmy Award-winning broadcast journalist Lee Phillip Bell. He is also survived by their three children, Bill, the president of Bell Dramatic Serial Company and Bell-Phillip Television Productions, Inc.; Bradley, head writer and executive producer of The Bold and the Beautiful and Lauralee, an actress on The Young and the Restless, as well as his grandchildren, Liam, Sabrina, Chasen, Caroline, Charlotte and Oliver Bell, and Christian and Samantha Martin.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL received 15 nominations for the 40th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy® Awards.
But the news didn't stop there, since Monday brought the news that Susan Flannery would be leaving her role as Stephanie Forrester in the next few months. 
People Magazine reported that JACK WAGNER (Nick) is engaged to his longtime girlfriend (and former Melrose Place co-star) Heather Locklear. On August 3, the actress was spotted wearing a 6-carat diamond ring while she and Wagner were vacationing in London. This will be the third marriage for Locklear, who was wed to rockers Tommy Lee from 1986-93 and then Richie Sambora from 1994-2007, and the second for Wagner, who was married to his former General Hospital co-star Kristina Wagner from 1993-2006.
HEATHER TOM (Katie) recently told CBS Soaps in Depth that she and her boyfriend of almost 15 years, musician James Achor, will tie the knot in mid-September and honeymoon in the Polynesian paradise Bora Bora.
Todd McKee, who played Jake Maclaine from 1990-92 and then recurred on occasion since 2007, is back on the show on December 13. Jake was originally a tennis pro who was linked to Felicia, Donna and Macy, but he left town after his affair with Macy ended. Starting with the story of Stephanie's shooting in 2007, Jake returned as a "jack of all trades" at Forrester, doing technical and production work for fashion shows and media presentations, and he last appeared setting up the Men's Line showing that ended with Thomas kissing Brooke. There is no word on what brings him back this time, but it's likely that it's somehow tied to a presentation at Forrester. Tune in on the 13th to see.
Mick Cain, who played CJ Garrison and off from 1997-2004 and 2007, returns to the soap on December 21 and 22 to conduct some business with Stephanie involving his Insomnia Cafe.
