The Bold and the Beautiful fans are not big strangers to the goodbye. We know it’s not possible for everyone who comes onto this show to stay forever and not make any sort of amends. They have to go their own way and do their own thing, but that doesn’t mean we can’t miss them when they go. This year has been a big one in terms of seeing faces we love so much on the show that aren’t sticking around. We have to learn to love that some of these people are leaving, and we have to do that with the hope that they will one day return to us. We love our favorite characters, but sometimes they have to go. And right now, these are the faces that make us so sad to see them depart.
Wayne Brady
We truly dislike and do not care for Dr. Reese Buckingham. But, we love Wayne Brady and the work he did on this show while he was there. He came in as the father of Zoe, which is ironic considering his actual real life daughter is playing Tiffany, and he came in to see if he could get her to listen to him and to come home to him. But that did not work out. Instead, he ended up in trouble, and he ended up causing more problems that he did anything good. His daughter’s life was in danger when he realized that he owed too much money to the people in his life who were willing to do unthinkable things to get it back from them, and that’s when he hatched a horrible plan to kidnap Hope’s baby and tell her that the baby died. He then “adopted” the baby to Steffy pretending the baby belonged to Flo. And that’s all coming to a head now. But, for now, we just miss him. He’s still there, but he did finish his filming, and we already miss him.
Ingo Rademacher
He’s the man who has captured our hearts for many years over on the set of General Hospital as Jax, and we just love him so much. But, we also have to face the facts. He is only Jax. He did a wonderful job on the show as Thorne, and we do love that. He came on to the show when they were in need of a new Thorne, and he killed every second of it. He did the thing that no one else can do. He came on and he was hateful, awful, mean, and deceptive. Then he was suddenly redeeming himself and becoming lovable and kind and wonderful, and we know that is amazing. We fell for him when he fell for Katie and young Will, and we wanted nothing more than their happiness and their love for one another to work out. And then he became a total jerk one more time, left his wife, told her their marriage was basically a mistaken joke, and he was out. But now he is Jax again, and how can we be mad at that?
Jacob Young
We still don’t really know what is up with the one and only (well, kind of) Rick Forrester, but we miss him. He and Maya have called an end to their marriage, but only through her return from Paris and her announcement. She’s not yet made it official, but she’s said it’s so. He’s not been back to argue with her, and we don’t know if he is back or not. He is gone, though, for some time as he is off contract and hard at work on a new Lifetime Movie that might just make us feel better about things. He’s not gone. He’s just recurring, though we have yet to see him ‘curing’ at all in the past few months. We have a nagging feeling that off contract might just mean “I can’t get to some kind of agreement with the show so I’m probably going to leave and make it official in some due time” and that’s what we are working with at the moment. Until then, though, we just miss him being around Los Angeles.
