The Bold and The Beautiful: Will Taylor Return? Why Did Krista Allen Leave?

The Bold and The Beautiful, having entered its 37th season, is progressing steadily and remains a much-awaited fixture for its dedicated fanbase. Many stars have exited the show during its prolonged run, passing the torch for their characters to another actor.

One such part was that of Taylor, portrayed by Hunter Tylo and Krista Allen. The character ultimately bid adieu to the show, making her last appearance in 2023. However, rumors regarding Taylor’s return have started to surface of late. But how credible are these speculations?

Here are all the available details regarding Taylor’s theorized return to The Bold and The Beautiful.

Is Taylor coming back in The Bold and The Beautiful Season 37?

At the time of writing, the showrunners have yet to officially confirm the return of Taylor to the Bold and Beautiful setup.

Rumors regarding the character’s reinstatement have been persistent ever since it was written off the series in 2023. Nevertheless, they have recently picked up momentum after a supposed casting call was put out by the creators. According to SoapHub, Bold and Beautiful executives are actively trying to recruit an actress between 45 and 50 years old. The report also describes the said character as “a strong, sophisticated leading lady.”

Interestingly, the aforementioned traits are very much in line with the characteristics showcased by Taylor in the show. Nevertheless, there has been no official announcement regarding Taylor’s return as of now.

Why did Krista Allen’s Taylor leave The Bold and The Beautiful?

Despite her immense popularity, Taylor was reportedly reduced to a recurring character by the showrunners. As a direct consequence of this decision, Emmy-nominated Krista Allen decided to part ways with The Bold and The Beautiful.

Allen was offered the chance to return for several brief appearances but the actress eventually settled on passing up on the opportunity. Her agent later revealed that the return of Taylor would have seen Allen getting limited lines in a single episode.

While talking to Soaps.com, the 53-year-old actress said, “This was the right move for me.” She also commented on the importance of Taylor’s return to the show, stating, “There’s a big fanbase that wants to see her be there for her kids, and who want to see this woman they’ve loved for decades find happiness.”

At the time of writing, it remains unclear if the fan-favorite character will ever make a comeback to The Bold and The Beautiful.
