Bradley Bell, The Bold and the Beautiful’s executive producer and lead writer, announced that Brayan Nicoletti will be playing R.J. Forrester, played by Josh Hoffman from 2023 to 2024. He also revealed that Sydney Bullock will be playing Miss Dylan.

“We have a new group of young characters being featured,” Bell told TV Insider. “We’ve signed Sydney Bullock as Miss Dylan and Brayan Nicoletti playing R.J. Forrester. We’re at a great time in the show where you have that next generation to play with their core family members.”

The Daytime Emmy-winning writer also provided some details on the storyline surrounding Miss Dylan and R.J. “Now that Luna is dead, it’s smooth sailing for Will and Electra, but that begins to see some bumps in the road,” Bell explained. “They know Miss Dylan is living in her car, so they’re going to find a little place for her to stay at the beach house until she gets her footing and finds that next teaching job.”

Bell continued, “We will have another Spencer/Forrester rivalry with Will and RJ, so that’s going to be some fun. 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.”

In addition to the new actors, the writer also revealed that the show will be filmed on new sets. “We had a handful of sets at our old stage, and now we have three times the size,” Bell said. “I would have to choose to write in certain sets. And now, at any time, I could write 12 sets in an episode. I don’t have to think of what’s on the floor and what needs to be trucked in or trucked out, and the turnover days. It’s just really, really wonderful,” he explained.

The year 2025 has just wrapped, and things are heating up between style juggernaut Forrester Creations and up-and-coming fashion house Logan on The Bold and the Beautiful. Fans eager to see how two sisters (and on-again nemeses) will wage war on the catwalk are in luck! TV Insider got the skinny on what’s to come on the soap in 2026 from showrunner Brad Bell, and there’s plenty of drama to go with those glam gowns.

A lot of last year was taken up with Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) wreaking havoc on the Spencer and Forrester families. No more: Bell confirmed that the ex-Forrester intern is, indeed, dead. But the high-stakes, high-fashion storylines that B&B is known for will continue; it’s a battle of Spencer vs. Forrester, and who knows which wealthy clan will come out on top?
