Ronn Moss, aka Ridge Forrester, Was Betrayed By Show Creator(Photo Credit –Instagram)

Ronn Moss, aka Ridge Forrester, was part of viewers’ lives for over 25 years after joining Daytime Soap Opera on The Bold and the Beautiful in 1987. His departure from the show in 2012 shocked audiences, who were bereft that the face of the longest-running soap opera would never walk the streets of Beverly Hills again.

From Soap Star to Chart-Topper: Why Ronn Moss Never Returned to The Bold & The Beautiful

While fans still held hope Moss might return to The Bold & The Beautiful, in 2014, the star revealed he felt betrayed by the show creator and vowed never to return to the soap that launched his career.

The actor, who began his career as a singer with the group Player, has kept busy since departing The Bold & The Beautiful in 2012. Moss appeared on the digital soap “The Bay...

It’s been a hot minute since The Bold and the Beautiful’s Ridge was played by Ronn Moss. The front man for the beloved rock band, Player, who also does solo tours as Ronn Moss’ Player, left the soap in 2012 after playing the character for 25 years. He’s been very active ever since, and has kept in touch with his adoring fans. Recently, he revealed his decision to change his look, surprising everyone.

Moss Makes Grey Matter

Moss shared a few photos of himself on Instagram with the caption, “Since I let my natural grey hair go wild recently for the western movie I shot in May, I’ve been loving it. What do you guys think, should I let it stay this way, or should I go back to a salt and pepper style? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.”

The Bold and The Beautiful spoilers and updates reveal Hunter Tylo finally speaks out, and tells the real reason she stepped away from playing the original Taylor Hayes on the CBS soap. Read on to see what she says after a rare interview on You Tube.

Hunter Originated The Role Of Taylor Hayes

Hunter originated the role of Taylor Hayes in 1990, with her last appearance having been in 2019. She also appeared in other soap operas over the years, but is best known for the role of Taylor, married to Ridge Forrester.

As Taylor, she and Ridge originally had three children, Steffy Forrester (now Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) her late twin Phoebe Forrester (MacKenzie Mauzy) and Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson).

Taylor was married to Ridge twice and had four other husbands; Blake Hayes, (Peter Brown) Nick Marone (Jack Wagner) Whip Jones (Rick Hearst) and Prince Omar Rashid (Kabir Bedi). However, she only had children with Ridge.

Thorsten Kaye had big shoes to fill as Ridge on The Bold and the Beautiful. But the actor’s made the role his own and is still going strong after a decade. As he nears his 12th anniversary with the show, Kaye is still having a blast.

His Longest Role

Kaye is no stranger to the soap opera world. His previous roles include Ian on One Life to Live, Ian on Port Charles, and Zach on All My Children. But in 2013, he landed his biggest role to date.

When Ronn Moss left B&b in 2012, the show needed a big name for the new Ridge. They found him in Kaye, who debuted in December 2013. Kaye had his work cut out taking over for Moss, but fans soon warmed up to the new Ridge.

Now, 12 years and 2 Daytime Emmys later, Kaye has become a leading man of B&b. And as he told TV Insider,...

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers say that for years, fans have been wondering why Hunter Tyler left the show so suddenly when she did back in 2013. Well, we’ve got the answer for it.

This Is The Real Reason Why Hunter Tylo Left The Show

Apparently, the actress, who was best known for her role as Taylor Hayes, believed that her character wasn’t being given the respect that she believed she deserved at the time. And she’s not wrong about it, either.

In an interview with French TV Guide Telestar back in 2013, Hunter made it clear that she was none too pleased with the direction that her character was going in at the time. And let’s just say that she didn’t hold back at all.

She said, “My contract ended. The show completely changed after Ronn Moss and Susan Flannery left. I was happy that...

Filmmaker Andy Sidaris – whose work I first encountered back in the days when Joe Bob Briggs had a show on The Movie Channel – made movies that have been boiled down to descriptions like “bullets, bombs, and babes” and “girls, guns, and g-strings,” and now the folks at Encyclopocalypse Publications have set out to give not just one or two Sidaris movies the novelization treatment; they intend to publish novels based on “the whole damn catalog”! They’re starting out with two novelizations that are set to be released on July 29th, with author Brad Carter taking on the task of turning Sidaris’s 1985 film Malibu Express and his 1987 film Hard Ticket to Hawaii into novels.

Encyclopocalypse Publications notes that this Sidaris novelization endeavor is being carried out in collaboration with the filmmaker’s widow Arlene Sidaris, and “it’s all about keeping Andy’s legacy alive in the loudest, sleaziest,...

Many fans of soaps lament the fact that it’s not very easy to check out older episodes. In the past, there was a cable and satellite channel called SoapNet that provided evening showings of all soaps that aired on a given day. Sadly, it only dabbled in past episodes and is no more. But now, fans of The Bold and the Beautiful can rejoice. Classic episodes are being served up on a new streaming platform, and it could open the floodgates for other shows to do the same.

Shout It to the Mountaintops

Shout! Factory is a video distribution company that releases cult and classic film and TV shows, often with restored, high-quality versions, appealing to fans everywhere. Now, they’ve got a deal that will definitely appeal to B&b fans. Its television arm, Shout! TV, has taken its Free Ad-supported Streaming Television channel, aka Fast, and AVOD,...

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers tease a tough time for Liam ahead, but does that mean it’s really the end of Waffler Jr. or will he somehow pull through?

Liam’s Plight Seems Familiar

While many newer B&b fans have been comparing Liam Spencer’s (Scott Clifton) tumor story to Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) mystery illness at the end of 2023, there might be another story that is even more familiar to longtime fans.

In the end, John ‘Finn’ Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) and Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) found a cure for Eric and he is now stronger than ever. However, back in the 1990s, another young character unexpectedly did succumb to cancer.

Liam’s Aunt Caroline Spencer (Joanna Johnson) lost her life to cancer when she was a young newlywed married to Ridge Forrester (then played by Ronn Moss).

She also didn’t want anyone to know she was dying,...

MacKenzie Mauzy is famous to soap fans for playing Phoebe on The Bold and the Beautiful. After leaving the show in 2008, she went on to land many other roles. However, her latest role is one that holds a special place in her heart.

Baby Makes Three

Mauzy played Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Taylor’s (Rebecca Budig) daughter, and Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) twin sister from 2006 to 2008. After her departure from B&b, a lot has changed for the actress. She continued her acting career with roles in TV shows and films such as Into the Woods and The Good Fight.

Aside from success in her professional life, she found love with Lacrosse player Scott Ratliff. The couple married in 2022, and now they’ve added a new addition to their family.

The actress gave birth to the couple’s first child, a daughter, on March 1, 2005. Mauzy shared the good news on her Instagram page.

Earlier this month, Shout!TV announced that it had launched a new Fast (free ad-supported television) channel dedicated to “The Bold and the Beautiful. ” The channel features full episodes from the show’s first season that you can watch in progress or On Demand.

“‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ now has its own streaming channel! Watch as the show dives into the high society world of Los Angeles fashion as the Forrester family navigates spellbinding stories of mystery, romance, and the power of family legacy,” the streaming service said.

In September 2021, Bell-Phillip Television Productions, owner of the daytime drama series, released episodes from the show’s first season on YouTube, marking the first time classic episodes from a U.S. soap opera had been available on the service for free (with ads).

The first season of “The Bold and the Beautiful...

History is repeating itself on The Bold and the Beautiful. Nearly 25 years ago, there was a scene where Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) was demanding that Ridge Forrester (then Ronn Moss) choose between her and Taylor Hayes (then Hunter Tylo) on the spot.

His initial response was to look like a jovial deer caught in headlights, unsure of what to say, but also loving the rush of the situation.

Fast-forward to now, and a similar situation is playing out between Brooke, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye), and Taylor (Rebecca Budig), but it is even more ridiculous now, and not just because both of these women are smart and beautiful.

Brooke Insists That Ridge Is Her Destiny

After their most recent reunion a few years ago, Ridge and Brooke swore to each other that this was it, for life.

They had been through enough, with each other and with other loves, and now...

Absent from “The Young and the Restless” since the show’s Thursday, January 2, 2025 episode, Lauralee Bell (Christine Blair) is set to return to Genoa City later this spring when she begins taping all-new episodes of the daytime drama series in late April, set to air in early June.

In an interview with Deadline, Bell revealed that in the interim, she’ll be making a three-episode return appearance on sister soap “The Bold and the Beautiful,” airing Thursday, April 24; Friday, April 25 and Monday, April 28.

“You never know when Brad Bell [executive producer/head writer of ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’] calls, if I’m going to be asked a question or if I can come to ‘B&b’ for a couple of days,” Bell said to the outlet about her return, and speaking of her brother. “He established this collaboration. Years ago I represented Ridge [then played by Ronn Moss] on a court case, and then several months ago, Danny...

The Bold and The Beautiful (B&b) spoilers and updates reveal fan favorite Ronn Moss is known for his 25-year run playing Ridge Forrester, and also appeared in in the streaming soap “The Bay”.

He’s also just as well-known as being a singer in the rock band Player, whose song ‘Baby Come Back’ shot to the top of the charts in 1978.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Ronn Moss And His Wife Interviewed

ReMIND Magazine spoke with Ronn and his wife, Devin DeVasquez, at The Hollywood Show, taking place on Friday, January 10, and Saturday, January 11, at the Los Angeles Marriott Burbank Airport Hotel.

The couple splits their time between their home in Arizona and Italy, where Moss is very popular due to the show Bold and the Beautiful (B&b), a favorite in the country. Moss expresses his love for living in Italy, describing it as if he is in another time period.

On a recent episode of ABC’s 911, Bold and the Beautiful alum Jennifer Finnigan guest starred with a familiar face—her real-life husband, Jonathan Silverman. They have been together for 20 years and married for roughly 17 years. So, it was a lot of fun to see them play a contentious couple on the hit Ryan Murphy series that moved from Fox to ABC this season.

Divorce 2024 Style

What was fun about this particular guest star appearance was knowing that Finnigan and Silverman were married in real life. In the episode of 911 titled “Confessions,” they were a husband and wife negotiating a tricky divorce. And, of course, it was messy, toxic, and chaotic.

Silverman’s character had hooked up with his attorney. On top of that, every time he sneezed, Finnigan’s character knew he was lying. That was his big tell. Unfortunately, for the husband, that would be his undoing.

The current corporate chaos at Forrester Creations on The Bold and the Beautiful has raised questions about the company’s hierarchy. Currently, Ridge and his daughter Steffy are co-CEOs. Ridge wanted to step back and focus on design, so he assigned Brooke senior responsibilities. But that doesn’t mean she gets the final say on her daughter’s collection.

This also raises questions about Massimo Marone’s former role in Forrester Creations. He wanted to help Stephanie Forrester reclaim the company from her husband, Eric. Years ago, this led to a similar corporate shakeup. Find out how Massimo’s shares could help Steffy and her brother, Thomas.

Who Was Massimo Marone?

Massimo (Joseph Mascolo) worked for Forrester Creations from 2001 to 2006. When he first arrived in Los Angeles, he wanted to reconnect with Stephanie (Susan Flannery). The two stayed in touch without Eric’s (John McCook) knowledge. They schemed to take over Forrester Creations.

The Logans and Forresters are again at odds on The Bold and the Beautiful. While Brooke’s Bedroom is hot, Hope for the Future is not. The couture collection is currently up in the air. But there was a time when the Logans had their own fashion house that rivaled Forrester Creations.

About Logan Designs

Logan Designs had many names. It went by Jackie M. Designs and Spectra Couture by Sally Spectra (Darlene Conley). Logan Designs had a brief stint in 2003 when Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) was removed from her role as CEO of Forrester Creations.

Ridge (then Ronn Moss) gifted Spectra Couture to Sally. She was in a feud with Brooke at the time. Brooke ended up with the fashion brand and then renamed it Logan Designs. The fashion company didn’t last and was affected by the death of Storm (Ethan Wayne), who accidentally shot his sister Katie (Heather Tom).

Soap Hub looks at the Hits and Misses for the week of October 7-11 in the worlds of Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful, and The Young and the Restless.

Hits and Misses

What we think worked and didn’t work.

The Young and the Restless

Hit: Traci and Alan are back. Traci (Beth Maitland) and Alan (Christopher Cousins) traveled to the United States and back to France. They’ve returned to Genoa City and are already talking about moving in together. Welcome back.

Miss/Hit: Jack and Diane have a huge shouting match while Victor overhears. Jack (Peter Bergman) and Diane (Susan Walters) are better than that. But they will all be forgiven, and this miss will become a hit if they’re setting up Victor (Eric Braeden) and the public argument was a ruse.

Miss: Lily’s instinct was to trust Victor and Nikki.

It would be easy to think that Taylor is still pining for Ridge on The Bold and the Beautiful. However, it could be a different Forrester man that she set her sights on with this recent return, and it would cause even more chaos.

Taylor’s Attraction to Eric

There was a time when Taylor (Rebecca Budig) was attracted to Eric (John McCook). Hunter Tylo famously portrayed Taylor. The two first flirted in 1995, and Taylor couldn’t resist him. She felt guilty because she knew his wife, Stephanie (Susan Flannery), wanted him back.

Taylor promised never to pursue him further, so the two kept their kiss a secret. In 1998, Taylor married Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and became Eric’s daughter-in-law. Ronn Moss portrayed Ridge at the time.

In 2013, Taylor had an affair with Eric. She learned that her daughter Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) was pregnant with Liam’s (Scott Clifton) baby.

2012 will go down as one of the most devastating year in soap opera history. After 25 years of playing daytime TV heartthrob Ridge Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful, Ronn Moss shocked fans by announcing his exit from the show.

Ronn Moss’ exit came weeks after reports alleged that he was holding off on signing The Bold and The Beautiful contract after he was being asked to take a significant pay cut. According to an interview in 2012 with Michael Fairman TV, the pay cut didn’t sit well with the iconic soap star who helped put the daytime drama The Bold and The Beautiful on the map, drawing worldwide viewers.

In the interview, Ronn Moss revealed he felt the pay cut was unnecessary, noting the show’s decision to low-ball him for the...

Soap fans were given a delightful surprise, particularly those devoted to The Bold and the Beautiful and the beloved pairing of Ridge and Brooke, as Katherine Kelly Lang and original Ridge, Ronn Moss, reunited. This heartwarming reunion occurred during Lang’s joint trip with Ashley Jones (Bridget), as they enjoyed the scenic beauty of Italy. Sharing […]

Kris made the revelation during the recent episode of The Kardashians, where her children and partner got to learn about her diagnosis along with the viewers. The businesswoman has found support from her family in this difficult time.

Kris Jenner Diagnosed with Tumor, To Get Ovaries Removed

On the July 4th episode of The Kardashians, Kris Jenner disclosed that she had gone to see a doctor, and after getting a scan, a cyst was found in her ovary. She got all emotional as she broke the news to her daughters Kim and Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner, and partner Corey Gamble.

Ronn Moss, who is best known for starring in one of the longest-running soap operas, The Bold And The Beautiful, was once accused of going under the knife. The plastic surgery rumors got so out of control that the now 72-year-old actor was prompted to deny the allegations.

The TV hunk Ronn Moss is most famous for portraying dashing designer Ridge Forrester for 25 years on The Bold & The Beautiful. Moss exited the show in 2012 after he was asked to take a pay cut for his role. His decision to leave was also spurred by a horrible accident that prevented him from memorizing lines.

Seven years after Moss left The Bold & The Beautiful, Ronn Moss made waves after his appearance appeared to have undergone a slight change in photos, giving him a youthful look. As the speculation intensified,...

The Bold & The Beautiful’s always fashionable, headstrong matriarch, Stephanie Forrester, aka Susan Flannery, shocked fans after her abrupt departure from the longest-running soap opera. The daytime television icon was part of the main cast for 25 years until her character, Stephanie Forrester, died in 2012. Given that death is not definitive in the soap opera world, with many characters returning from the grave, fans still held onto the hope that Susasn Flannery might make a fashionable comeback.

Fans will remember Susan Flannery, aka Stephanie Forrester, is known to fake her death to get her former TV son Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss) to surrender to her will. She even faked a heart attack in hopes that her son would get back with his psychiatrist wife, Taylor Hayes.

So when Susan Flannery announced her exit alongside Ron Moss,...

Davies played the black-sheep son of the wealthy Capwell family from 1984 through 1989. The actor first reunited with former Sb costar Grahn on General Hospital over two decades ago in 2002 when he starred as Dr. Cameron Lewis. Davies departed the ABC soap in 2004.

Antonio Sabato Jr and Robert Rabiah.

Antonio Sabato Jr. was one of the few American actors who supported Donald Trump in the 2016 election and soon found he was virtually blacklisted in Hollywood.

His agents and manager deserted him and work dried up so after a 30-year-career he decided to move to Florida and get a job in construction.

Now he plans a comeback, producing, co-writing, directing and starring in Trail Blazers, a Western about a band of brothers who were once outlaws and decide to turn their back on their old ways to fulfill their father’s dying wish.

Safe Harbour and Secret City star Robert Rabiah, who has been a mate of Sabato since they worked in Crawford Productions’ Queensland-shot series Tribe in 1999, will play Gabriel, his younger brother.

The brothers take refuge near a small town in Utah and quickly lock horns with the local Sheriff and his deputies.
