Brooke Logan returns to B&B

Katherine Kelly Lang tweeted a picture of her B&B scripts and welcome back flowers she received from the show. Katherine took a small break to do Dancing with the Stars Italy. She began filming in December and her episodes are set to air in February.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Returns to B&B January 2015

Steffy Forrester fans rejoice!! The two time emmy nominated Jacqueline MacInnes Wood is returning to B&B late January 2015!

This comes as a surprise to many since the actress recently posted on social media that she would not be returning to the show anytime soon due to scheduling conflicts, but would reprise her role in a heartbeat if the show called for Steffy to return. Shortly afterwards JMW’s opening credits on the show was also removed which seemed to have been the final nail in the coffin. Many are speculating that the actress is returning to help fill the void since Kim Matula is no longer on canvas. We know Brad Bell Jr. wants to recast the role of Hope Logan and he has stated that she is an integral character on the show. JMW is only on recurring status - so she may come and go in between storyline’s. We may not know yet how long JMW will be on our screens for, but at least we can get our Steffy fix! Cha cha cha!

Maybe the TPTB read my post rant about the many reasons why Steffy could and should come back to the show! 

March 2015 Update: JMW has said via Facebook that she will be returning back to B&B for a longer stay. She said, "I will be coming back in April for a much longer stay." She begins taping in April.  

How long do you think JMW will be back for? Do you think her return is a coincidence since Kim Matula has just left? What do you think Steffy’s story will be once she returns?

Kim Matula (Hope Logan) Has Left the Bold and the Beautiful

Well folks, Kim Matula has left the building. Kim announced on her official Facebook page that she has decided not to renew her contract with the Bold and the Beautiful:

"What can I say about today? I can officially confirm that I filmed my last scenes at The Bold and The Beautiful. For now. . It was a day full of love and laughter and reminiscing about the past 5 years. I made the incredibly difficult decision not to resign my contract so that I could spread my wings as an actor and see what this big beautiful world has to offer. But I can never put into words just how amazing and inspiring this show has been. What a huge part of my life. I do not see this as a "goodbye" but more of a "see you later." Thank you for giving me an unforgettable 5 years as Hope Logan and thank you to every single viewer who sat side by side with me on this journey. Cheers to the next adventure!!"

Who Will Be the Next Hope Logan?

The internet is buzzing with rumours and speculation on who will be the next Hope Logan on the Bold and the Beautiful. When Kim announced she would not be renewing her contract, Brad Bell Jr. said in November he would not be recasting the role. Since then an interview published in the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, reports “Hope Logan is a critical and central character to the show.” He added, “Hope will continue to be on the show. We’re losing Kim Matula, who is a brilliant actress, and I am hoping, at some point, she will return in the role — but the role will continue. I’ve lost so many actors and actresses in recent years that I’m excited about the challenge,” said Bell.

Best of luck to Kim Matula and her future endeavors. Kim's last air date on B&B was December 12th, 2014.

March 2015 Update: Kim Matula has returned in the beginning of March for one day of filming. Scott Clifton teased Hope's appearance may be a Skype call but he doesn't know with who. 

Who do you think would make a good Hope Logan recast??
