Monopoly || The reason these B&B stars left – What are they doing in 2024?
The soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful” (B&B) has seen many stars come and go over the years. Fans often wonder what happened to their favorite characters and why the actors left the show. Here, we dive into the reasons behind the departures of some beloved B&B stars and what they are up to now.
Susan Flannery
Susan Flannery, known for her role as Stephanie Forrester, left B&B in 2012 after a poignant cancer storyline for her character. Flannery, a Daytime Emmy Award-winning actress, has embraced retirement and enjoys spending time with her adopted daughter Blaze and their family in Australia. When asked if she missed her B&B days, Flannery candidly shared with TV Guide that she had a wonderful time but felt it was time to move on and has no regrets.
Ron Moss
Ron Moss, who played Ridge Forrester for 25 years, left the show in 2012. Initially, it was reported that salary disputes led to his departure, but Moss later clarified that a serious car accident in 2012, which affected his memory, was a significant factor. Since leaving B&B, Moss has focused on his music career, touring with his band Player and releasing solo music. He continues to engage in musical projects, charity work, and even has his own brand of wine. Additionally, Moss is a producer on the Emmy Award-winning series “The Bay.”
Windsor Harmon
Windsor Harmon, who portrayed Thorne Forrester for about 20 years, was replaced in 2017. Harmon was blindsided by the decision, as he had been told a storyline for Thorne was in the works just a month before his replacement. Despite the shock, Harmon remained grateful for his time on the show, expressing no bitterness. After his departure, Harmon faced some legal troubles but has since turned his life around, focusing on fitness and celebrating milestones with fans on social media.
Lindsay Godfrey
Lindsay Godfrey, who played Caroline Spencer from 2012 until her character’s off-screen death in 2019, transitioned to “Days of Our Lives” after leaving B&B. She shared her appreciation for the B&B family and expressed that she enjoyed playing the character. Godfrey remains active on social media, although she took a break in late 2020 to focus on her mental health and spend time with loved ones.
Hunter Tylo
Hunter Tylo, beloved for her role as Taylor Hayes, has been absent from the show for over two years. Tylo, who has generally stayed out of the spotlight and social media, has dedicated herself to raising awareness about retinoblastoma, a rare eye cancer her daughter battled.
Jack Wagner
Jack Wagner, who played Nick Marone from 2003 to 2012, left the show around the same time he appeared on “Dancing with the Stars.” While there were rumors of salary disputes, his representatives indicated a lack of storyline was the primary reason for his departure. Wagner continues to act, notably reprising his role on “General Hospital” and starring in “When Calls the Heart” on the Hallmark Channel. He is also active on Instagram, keeping fans updated on his current projects.
Kim Matula
Kim Matula, who gained fame as Hope Logan, left B&B in 2015 to explore other acting opportunities. Since then, she has appeared in various TV shows, including “UnREAL” and “LA to Vegas,” and had a role in the film “Fighting with My Family.” Matula remains on good terms with the B&B team, having left to pursue new roles and challenges in her acting career.
Jacob Young
Jacob Young, who played Rick Forrester, left B&B in 2018 to seek other acting roles. He has since appeared in the Lifetime movie “A Wedding to Die For” and has been experimenting with different roles. Young also hosts “The Jacob Young Show” on YouTube, connecting with fans through weekly uploads and live shows. Although he is open to returning to daytime drama, he isn’t currently seeking a contract with B&B but is willing to wrap up Rick and Maya’s storyline if asked.
These stars have left lasting impressions on B&B fans, and while they have moved on to new chapters in their lives, their contributions to the show are fondly remembered.
