We couldn’t quite believe it when a core Forrester went MIA right in the middle of what was arguably his own storyline. But, happily, Bold & Beautiful is finally ready to bring the younger family member back to the canvas… albeit as a recast.

 

 

Lately, The Bold and the Beautiful has been beefing up its younger generation, quickly moving to fill the void left by Lisa Yamada’s Luna with the reappearance of Hayes’ summer art school teacher, Miss Dylan. We also have Remy and Deke, but he’s been moved on from Forrester, which is suddenly down one up-and-coming designer. In other words, it’s time for to bring another younger guy on the scene.

Luckily, there’s one waiting in the wings: Brooke and Ridge’s son, RJ! Last played by Joshua Hoffman, he vanished without explanation right after his girlfriend Luna was exposed as a crazy/villain. He barely got in a disgruntled look before he went MIA! We aren’t even sure “Bridge” noticed! Fans certainly did, however, questioning RJ not being more involved in something that so clearly would have a massive affect on him.

Luna, meanwhile, died, came back to life, and died again, and there’s still wasn’t a peep from the Forrester who brought her into the fold. But then a surprise glimpse of what could be, thanks to a photo posted on Instagram from the Bold & Beautiful holiday party. John McCook’s wife, Laurette Spang McCook shared the snap of Thorsten Kaye and her husband alongside handsome newcomer, Brayan Nicoletti, which kicked off the speculation.

Viewers were convinced that we were seeing three generations of Forrester men: Eric, Ridge and RJ… with a new face. And lo and behold, they were right!

Headwriter and executive producer Bradley Bell teased the coming year with TV Insider and confirmed that Nicoletti was, indeed, playing RJ. And apparently that’s just in time to set off “another Spencer/Forrester rivalry with Will and RJ,” Bell shared. “Years ago, when R.J. and Will were born, we thought, ‘Well, we’re never going to be around to see these guys acting as adults against one another,’ and here we are.”
