The Bold and the Beautiful is a long-running American soap opera which has aired on CBS Daytime since March 23, 1987, and is the most-watched soap opera worldwide.
The following section comprises former, current and future secondary characters that have appeared on the show, by order of first appearance.
Rocco Carner was played by Bryan Genesse from 1987 to 1989. Prior to his exit, Rocco was involved in a love triangle with sisters Katie and Donna Logan, and bought a ring to propose to Donna. In 2009, Genesse returned to the series. Upon his return on March 12, 2009, it was revealed that Rocco stayed in contact with the Forresters.
Kristen Forrester Dominguez is the older daughter of Eric Forrester and Stephanie Forrester. At the show's beginning, she was portrayed by Beauty Queen Teri Ann Linn. People magazine reported the character to be a "rich bitch". Of her casting, Linn said, "This is an opportunity I had to take". Meridith Brown, an editor of Soap Opera Digest, predicted that Linn would be a "breakaway star" and nasty characters like Kristen "are ones that become very popular in daytime." Linn departed in 1990, with additional appearances on 1992 and 1994. Tracy Melchior has played Kristen on and off since 2001. The character resides in Florida, and only comes to Los Angeles for significant events. She last appeared at a Christmas party with the other Forresters in December 2013.
Beth Logan is the matriarch of the Logan family, and was a series regular when it began. She was originally portrayed by Judith Baldwin in 1987. After Baldwin left the role, Nancy Burnett began playing Beth from 1987, and left the role in 1989. However, in 1991, when Burnett was unable to reprise the role, Marla Adams briefly played Beth. Adams was known for her role as Dina Mergeron on The Young and the Restless; her casting for the part of Beth was announced on November 24, 1990. In 1994 Burnett returned, and had various guest appearances until 2001. Upon her 2008 return, Robin Riker played Beth, who arrived with a "new personality". Riker's portrayal was met with acclaim; Tommy Garrett Canyon News named her "Leading Lady" of the week ending August 29, 2009, along with Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester), for their "Epic Battle". Garret said Riker "showed viewers that she is capable of high drama".
