The Bold and the Beautiful<\/strong>\u2018s favorite doctor Taylor Hayes<\/strong> (Krista Allen), is coming back.<\/p>\n The beloved heroine has been missing in action in recent years, but now she\u2019s returning to reunite with her family. However, there\u2019s one slight change to the character.<\/p>\n Hunter Tylo<\/strong>, who played the character for 29 years, won\u2019t be returning to the role, much to fans\u2019 disappointment. Allen being cast as Taylor received mixed reactions. The actor knows she has a challenge but prepares properly as she gears up for her debut.<\/p>\n Allen is no stranger to daytime; she played Billie Reed on Days of Our Lives from 1996 to 1999. Now\u2019s she returning to her soap opera roots with her new job on The Bold and the Beautiful. Taking over a significant role like Taylor is a challenge, but Allen\u2019s been doing her homework.<\/p>\n In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, the actor watched old Taylor episodes to prepare for her debut. \u201cSo right now, I\u2019m studying up and trying to understand what these different relationships have been through the years so I can make this Taylor as authentic as possible,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n Any actor would be nervous about joining a new show, but Allen enjoys The Bold and the Beautiful family. The actor is already bonding with her new castmates, including her onscreen family. Allen will be sharing a lot of scenes with Thorsten Kaye, who plays Taylor\u2019s ex-husband Ridge Forrester. Allen called him a \u201chandsome and funny guy when talking about Kaye.\u201d<\/p>\n As for the rest of her onscreen family, Allen had kind words for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood. \u201cJacqui is a ray of sunshine, and I couldn\u2019t be luckier to have her as my TV daughter,\u201d the actor gushed. Wood\u2019s character, Steffy Forrester, will be happy to have her mother back. Steffy may also stir up trouble when she tries to reunite her parents.<\/p>\n The Bold and the Beautiful fans will get to see Allen\u2019s debut on Dec. 10. Taylor\u2019s return comes amid Ridge and Brooke Logan\u2019s (Katherine Kelly Lang) latest marital issues. The Taylor, Ridge, and Brooke triangle was one of the show\u2019s biggest storylines in the 90s,\u2019 and another round is coming.<\/p>\n Ridge will be seeking Taylor\u2019s help as tension grows in his and Brooke\u2019s relationship. As Taylor and Ridge spend more time together, old sparks will reignite. After his recent talk with Steffy and Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson), Ridge may be thinking it was a mistake leaving Taylor for Brooke.<\/p>\n Although a Tridge reunion is on the horizon, fans know Brooke isn\u2019t going down without a fight. She\u2019s not going to let anyone, including Taylor, steal Ridge from her. In the past, Brooke may have been able to push Taylor around. But now she\u2019s in for a challenge with the new Taylor.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n It premiered on March 23, 1987, as a sister show to the Bells’ other soap opera The Young and the Restless; several characters from each of the two shows have crossed over to the other since the early 1990s.

Steffy is sure she\u2019s dying to see the kids, who are napping. Taylor will peek in on them. They hug again. but if they\u2019re upset about not having their family together they only need to look to their mother. Taylor didn\u2019t even show up for Steffy\u2019s wedding!

Hope walk in just in time to hear. Ridge insists they\u2019re going to get hurt and urges Brooke to step up and tell her daughter who this man really is. \u201cWhy aren\u2019t you two listening to me?\u201d<\/p>\n At Il Giardino, Paul tells Deacon everything has to be spotless before the inspector gets there\u2026 and he has a visitor.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Sheila walks in and muses, \u201cWell, well, well. This is where you\u2019re living. In a storage closet.\u201d She smirks and chuckles as Deacon insists it\u2019s just temporary, until he gets back on his feet. Sheila brandishes the mop and says this is ridiculous \u2014 he should just come back to her hotel room. Deacon doesn\u2019t want to let Hope and Brooke down. Hope, Sheila can understand, but not Brooke.<\/p>\n Later, out by the bar, Deacon is asked to serve some beer and Sheila questions if it\u2019s a wise decision for him to be working around temptation. Deacon\u2019s avoiding the bottle, but he can\u2019t return to Sheila\u2019s room or he\u2019ll never have a place in his daughter\u2019s life. Sheila thinks he\u2019s nervous about the sexual tension between them and invites him to come back to the hotel and see what happens. Deacon scoffs, \u201cYou got me.\u201d Sheila doesn\u2019t think the future he envisions is going to happen.
