Whipple Jones III is a fictional character from the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful, portrayed by Rick Hearst.
After a brief stint in 2002, it was announced in May 2009 that Hearst was returning, with his first return appearance being July 17, 2009. In 2011, however, the actor was bumped to recurring status, yet hasn't been seen since.
Two of his central storylines in the series revolve around a scheming relationship with Brooke Logan and marriage to her nemesis, Taylor Hayes.
Whip worked with Forrester Creations since 1990. However, as revealed in the series, he still lives in an apartment with his mother in a less than desirable part of Los Angeles.
Whip first appears when Ridge Forrester (Ron Moss) is attempting to take the Forrester Family Company away from his ex and CEO, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) while she is away dealing with a pregnancy, she later returns. It is revealed that Whip has spent over twelve years working as a promotional manager for the company, and has a very important position. After an attempt by Brooke to solidify family interests results in Whip being passed over in favor of Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) for the position of promotions manager, Whip feels resentment towards Brooke.
When Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery), Ridge's mother and Brooke's enemy humiliates Brooke at a press conference by revealing the untimely pregnancy, Whip quickly steps in and claims he was the father to stop romours about Brooke being born, and to subdue the paparazzi. This confuses Brooke's children, Bridget Forrester and Rick Forrester as they previously heard nothing about Whip being a part of Brooke's life. The real father of the baby is Deacon Sharpe, (who was married to Brooke's daughter, Bridget) and the child was conceived during an affair between him and Brooke. Whip blackmails Brooke using the information about the real paternity to buy him a car and a house to improve his own situation.
