Pamela Douglas is a fictional character from the CBS soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful, portrayed by Alley Mills. She made her first appearance during the episode broadcast on December 1, 2006. Pam was introduced as the sister of established character Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery). She is a receptionist at Forrester Creations.
On November 30, 2006, Joel Keller from The Huffington Post reported that former Wonder Years actress Alley Mills had been cast in the "limited role" of Stephanie Forrester's (Susan Flannery) sister, Pamela Douglas. Mills made her first screen appearance as Pam on December 1, 2006. The following year, executive producer Bradley Bell announced that Mills had signed a new contract with the show, making her a full-time member of the cast. Pam returned on January 11, 2007, after Stephanie invited her to LA and asked her to keep an eye on her husband Eric (John McCook), while she was away.
When Flannery quit her role as Pam's sister Stephanie in 2012, Mills became worried that she too would have to leave the show. She explained "Stephanie was Pam's link to that world and so when Susan left, I wondered if I was going to go. Stephanie was the function of Pam's life – she was always defending her and looking after her when she got sick." Mills was asked to stay with the show and she confirmed in 2014 that she had no plans to leave in the immediate future.
Mills believed Pam had "found a new lease on life at Forrester Creations" with her job as a receptionist. She also thought Pam had become stronger and felt the 2014 Thanksgiving scenes showed that Pam had finally become "part of the fabric of the clan". Mills added that Pam would continue to be a "busybody" and an "oddball who roams around".
Pamela Douglas and her sister, Stephanie, were raised by John and Ann Douglas in a suburb of Chicago. Stephanie married Eric Forrester and moved to Los Angeles, rarely mentioning her sister and telling everyone that her parents were dead. In reality, John had abused Stephanie as a child, which Ann had ignored. When Stephanie's controlling behavior got out hand, she sought therapy with Taylor Hayes, who suggested that Stephanie go to Chicago and confront Ann. With Eric at her side, Stephanie found Pam taking care of a widowed Ann, who was still in denial. Mousy Pam finally spoke up and confirmed the abuse, admitting she was too scared as a child to help her older sister.
