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.

These days, Steffy is facing danger from Sheila and Luna on The Bold and the Beautiful. But long before the two women entered the picture, Steffy’s life was always at risk. Here’s a look at some of her previous experiences with danger.

1. Kidnapped By Morgan

Steffy’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) brush with danger began when she was a toddler. During a family vacation, she was presumed dead after falling overboard on a boat. However, she was kidnapped by her father’s ex-girlfriend Morgan (Sarah Buxton). Morgan was obsessed with having Ridge’s (Thorsten Kaye) child and stole Steffy to raise as her own daughter. Her plan worked perfectly until Taylor (Rebecca Budig) visited Morgan’s home and discovered Steffy was alive. But before Taylor could alert anyone, Morgan knocked her out and held her captive. Ridge became suspicious of Morgan and after getting proof of her crimes, rescued his wife and daughter.

The Bold and the Beautiful recap is finally in for Thursday, June 26, 2025! In today’s episode, Deputy Chief Bradley Baker (Dan Martin) watches a wired Will Spencer (Crew Morrow).

Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) has to endure her boyfriend kissing Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada). Plus, Nick Marone (Jack Wagner) has a bombshell for Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang).

Nick Marone Eavesdrops

At Il Giardino, Nick continues spying on Tridge. Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) gushes about being engaged and her love. Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) echoes the compliments and they kiss.

Nick continues to listen as Taylor talks about being a “modern woman going after what she wants.” She kisses him again.

Tridge leaves the restaurant and goes back to Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) estate. Taylor wonders if she should have asked for permission to propose from Eric.

Taylor knows Eric has always been Team Bridge, will he be disappointed about their wedding?...

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.

"Wicked," released with enough green and pink merchandising to choke a horse, has been one of the rare musical extravaganzas to cross over from an audience of theater enthusiasts into the mainstream. Based on the popular Broadway musical starring Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth (which in turn was based on a Gregory Maguire novel of the same name), "Wicked" tells the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West from "The Wizard of Oz." Elphaba ends up becoming roommates with Glinda (Ariana Grande as the future good witch) while they're both studying magic at university. An unlikely friendship blossoms between the two total opposites -- until it's suddenly tested by the lure of the Wizard and his Emerald City. 

"Wicked" was a smash hit, earning over $700 million at the box office and 10 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Erivo), and Best Supporting Actress (Grande). It ultimately won...

The Bold and the Beautiful again has created controversy. The revelation that Poppy slept with her adopted nephew Finn, and possibly gotten pregnant by him, has sparked fan outrage. Yet, this isn’t the first time the show’s experimented with a taboo couple.

Ridge And Bridget

When it comes to B&b’s most controversial pairings, Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) and Bridget (Ashley Jones) top the list. During Bridget’s childhood, Ridge believed he was her father. However, a DNA test later revealed Eric (John McCook) was her dad, thus making Bridget and Ridge half-siblings.

When Bridget became an adult, the writers decided to retcon Ridge’s paternity, having him be Massimo’s (Joseph Mascolo) son. With Bridget and Ridge no longer blood-related siblings, they fell in love. The relationship was met with disapproval from their family and from fans. The new couple shared a few kisses but didn’t take it any further.

MacKenzie Mauzy is famous for her role as Phoebe on The Bold and the Beautiful. From 2006 to 2008, the actress played Ridge and Taylor’s daughter and Steffy’s twin sister. Following her departure from the show, Mauzy’s life has been busy, and there’s much for her to celebrate.

Mom-To-Be

After leaving B&b, Mauzy continued acting with roles in the film Into the Woods and shows like NCIS: New Orleans. Now, she’s preparing for her greatest role: mom.

The actress and her husband, Scott Ratliff, are expecting their first child. In October 2024, Mauzy revealed her pregnancy via an Instagram video. “Took a solo trip to connect with myself, some of my favorite places, and the little surprise shared here,” she captioned the video. The reel starts with Mauzy arriving at her cabin and then showing off her baby bump in front of a mirror.

The Bold And The Beautiful Recap Highlights

Over in a dark room somewhere in the world, Remy Pryce (Christian Weissmann) learns Electra is in Los Angeles.

The Bold And The Beautiful Recap – Ridge Forrester’s Discovery

B&b recap for Wednesday, November 13 reveals that Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) walks into the CEO office at Forrester Creations.

Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) greets Brooke and says he was trying to reach her. Brooke says she forgot to call him back. Brooke explains that she was with Steffy and getting an earful from Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig).

At the cliff house, Steffy and Taylor sit in the living room and sip coffee.

There’s no doubt that Rebecca Budig and Thorsten Kaye have sizzling on-screen chemistry. The two go all the way back to All My Children. The soap stars brought some of that magic back to The Bold and the Beautiful. Budig is fitting in nicely with her new role as Dr. Taylor Hayes. She brings a lightness to the character that’s never been done before, and Budig’s friendship with Kaye translates well on screen.

How Does Budig Feel About Kaye?

In a new interview with Soaps.com, Budig revealed what working with her AMC co-star on B&b is like. Greenlee Smythe and Zach Slater never had a romantic connection on the ABC soap. Greenlee was involved with Ryan Lavery (Cameron Mathison), while Zach’s one true love was Kendall Hart (Alicia Minshew).

Now, they get to test out their chemistry as Ridge and Taylor. B&b fans are...

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers and updates reveal Steffy Forrester’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) late twin sister Phoebe Forrester (MacKenzie Mauzy) has been mentioned a lot lately. Usually, when suspicious “anvils” like that are dropped, it means a character is returning-might Phoebe get a soapy resurrection?

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Nothing’s Impossible In Soapland

While Phoebe and Steffy began their journey as identical twins, the narrative took an unexpected turn, transforming them into fraternal twins through recasting. Tragically, Phoebe met her fate in a car accident in 2008, dying in the arms of Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) – or did she?

Given Sheila Sharpe’s (Kimberlin Brown) recent dramatic arcs and the chaos surrounding “Sugar” aka Janet Webber (Kimberlin Brown), it’s clear even a character’s death can be reversed with a dramatic twist.

The show could easily concoct a wild storyline where a Phoebe doppelgänger was who actually died,...

Phoebe has become a hot topic on The Bold and the Beautiful. Taylor and Ridge previously opened up about missing their late daughter. The psychiatrist on the go is struggling with broken heart syndrome. It might not be because of Ridge. Taylor hasn’t moved on from losing her daughter.

What Happened to Phoebe?

Let’s catch up on some brief history. Phoebe (MacKenzie Mauzy) tragically passed away in 2008 in a car accident. It was marked as one of the most painful moments in the daytime history. The crash occurred after Phoebe argued with Rick Forrester (Kyle Lowder).

She grabbed the steering wheel while he was driving. Rick lost control of the vehicle, causing an accident. Unfortunately, Phoebe was the victim of that crash. Her death forever changed the Forrester family. It became a major plot on the CBS show.

The fatal accident also caused tension between Rick and the Forrester family.

The Bold and the Beautiful recap for Wednesday, October 16, 2024, is finally here! In today’s episode, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) tries to seduce Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) with a chakra pose.

The Bold and the Beautiful (B&b) spoilers tease that Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) is back in LA stirring the pot by slamming the Logan family women and sidling up to Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).

Some fans think she’s been acting a bit melancholy and focused too much on her kids, the past, etc. Now we may have finally discovered why Taylor came back home, and it is grim.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Is Taylor Hayes Dying?

Taylor is eager to make up for lost time with her family and in the September 19 episode, Taylor dropped a curious statement. She and Ridge were talking when she brought up their deceased daughter, Phoebe (Mackenzie Mauzy).

Taylor cried and said she thinks of being back together with Phoebe one day. That statement got some fans to wondering about Taylor’s mindset—is she on death’s doorstep?

B&b Spoilers – Is Taylor Hayes Dying?...

Ridge returned to his waffling ways on The Bold and the Beautiful’s September 19th episode. He had an emotional conversation with Taylor that could leave Brooke reeling. Ridge admitted why he and Brooke haven’t tied the knot yet.

Emotional Conversation

Taylor (Rebecca Budig) revealed to Ridge (Thorsten Kaye) that she saw him in Monaco with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). She didn’t want to disturb them on their romantic trip, so Ridge asked Taylor why she hadn’t reached out to him.

He told her that he would always make time for her. Taylor didn’t want to be a distraction for Bridge in Monaco. She hinted that she was there for an important appointment.

Ridge believed seeing Taylor would’ve been nice, but he understands why she didn’t tell him. Taylor wanted to keep her distance at the time. However, after her appointment, she felt called...

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers document that Steffy Forrester Finnegan (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is upset that her rival is disrupting another marriage.

This time, instead of Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), Hope has eyes for John Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan). Longtime viewers will rightly point out that Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) was not the only person to blame in the triangle that once included her, Liam, and Steffy. Both ladies allowed Liam to rotate between them over many years.

A current twist has Hope unable to control the feelings she believes she’s developed for Steffy’s current husband. Finn has not reciprocated, but that won’t help him in the near term.

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – John Finn Finnegan Did Nothing Wrong

Finn has repeatedly told Hope to back off. He feels sorry for her and tries to rationalize her erratic behavior based on various factors.

The Bold and The Beautiful spoilers and updates reveal the latest buzz surrounding the soap has fans buzzing, especially the news of Rebecca Budig stepping into the role of Taylor Hayes.

While it’s clear that Budig is a talented actress with plenty of soap opera experience, many are left wondering about the choice to cast someone who appears significantly younger-why?

The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers: Some Feel Budig Would Make A Better Phoebe

Some fans remarked Budig looks so young she would have made a better Phoebe Forrester, (Mackenzie Mauzy) Steffy Forrester’s (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) late twin.

At 51, Budig seems like an unconventional choice to portray the mother of 37-year-old Steffy and Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson), especially given her vibrant, youthful appearance.

Yet, we must take a step back and consider the broader implications—could there be a deliberate strategy at play?

What if Budig’s youthful...

Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe star together on Outlander, and much like on the show, the two share a close bond off screen as well. While Sam and Caitriona are not dating in real life (Sam is currently romancing actress MacKenzie Mauzy, while Caitriona has been linked to a man named Tony McGill), the pair never miss the opportunity to gush about each other and talk about how much they love working together. Today, we're celebrating their friendship by taking a look back at some of the sweetest things they've said about each other. Related14 Devastatingly Sexy Sam Heughan GIFs That Might Just Turn You Into an Outlander Fan Caitriona on Sam On their close friendship: "I feel very lucky. Sam and I have an amazing bond, we're really great friends." On what Caitriona likes about Sam: "Sam's just so kind. He's a really good friend. He always checks in.

Sam Heughan is arguably one of the best things about Outlander, and not just because he's extremely good-looking. The 37-year-old actor, who is dating MacKenzie Mauzy, is also extremely talented. That shouldn't come as a surprise, though, given the fact that Sam graduated from Glasgow's Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (now the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland) in 2003. The native Scot studied the school's BA acting program before breaking into the entertainment industry and eventually landing the lead role of Jamie Fraser on Outlander.

Sam Heughan has popped up in our dreams more times than we care to admit (yes, there were kilts involved), but it looks as though being Mrs. Heughan is something that will only happen when we're fast asleep. The Outlander actor looked all sorts of fine when he was photographed talking a stroll in NYC with his girlfriend, MacKenzie Mauzy, on Thursday.

Musicals can be tough to adapt from the stage to film, but you'd think that Rob Marshall, who brought the genre into the 21st century with 2002's Oscar-winning Chicago, would be a safe pair of hands. Unfortunately, that's maybe too true of Into The Woods, a project that has flummoxed filmmakers for a good couple of decades.

The much anticipated film is based on Stephen Sondheim's play, mashing up a bunch of different fairytales to more subversive effect. In a magical kingdom by a great forest, a baker and his wife (James Corden and Emily Blunt) are desperate to have a child together. Alas, the baker is cursed with childlessness by the Witch who lives next door (Meryl Streep) over a quarrel with his deadbeat dad, (Simon Russell Beale.

Into the Woods is a modern twist on several beloved fairy tales, intertwining the plots of a few choice stories and exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. This humorous and heartfelt musical follows the classic tales of Cinderella (Anna Kendrick), Little Red Riding Hood (Lilla Crawford), Jack and the Beanstalk (Daniel Huttlestone), and Rapunzel (MacKenzie Mauzy), all tied together by an original story involving a Baker and his Wife (James Corden and Emily Blunt), their wish to begin a family and their interaction with the Witch (Meryl Streep), who has put a curse on them. Lou Lumenick, of the New York Post, has called the film “this century’s best musical.” Now you can explore some of the film’s musical highlights with a new featurette (see above).
