Krista Allen Dropped at The Bold and the Beautiful
While Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Daytime Drama Series, Krista Allen (Taylor Hayes), was walking on the red carpet last night at the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards, earlier in the day the news had broke, that the reason viewers of CBS’s The Bold and the Beautiful had not seen her on-air, is that the show decided not to pick up the third year of her contract.
Allen told Deadline, that she was told back in October that her contract wouldn’t be renewed. Smart B&B viewers had noticed that she has not appeared in any episodes since November 8th. Given Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) failing health storyline, where her children Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) were greatly impacted, many were wondering where was Taylor?
Now the answers became clear: Krista was told the show opted out of her contract, but the events surrounding it didn’t initially add up to her. Allen expressed, “The craziest thing is right before I got dropped, I did the cast photo shoot, and then the next week they called and said, ‘We’re not going to keep your third year and thank you very much, you were wonderful and thank you, goodbye.’ And I was like, what?”’

Krista said it was very challenging for her to keep quiet about the whole situation: “I haven’t known what to say. And then when I got dropped, I was like, ‘oh, okay, is the show going to announce this?’ But they never did.”
When Allen checked out X (formerly Twitter) on December 10th, she realized it was the two-year anniversary of playing Taylor and many of her fans were posting messages to her about, but she didn’t know how to respond.

However, a source also told Deadline that Allen was offered to go recurring with the series, and turned that down. Krista’s rep shared that she had been offered three lines in an episode in late November, after “a couple of nothing months.”
No word yet if the role will be recast, but Allen shared that following the Daytime Emmys, she was moving to Atlanta, Georgia and out of Hollywood. nterestingly, Krista’s former leading man, Thorsten Kaye (Ridge Forrester), took home the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
What do you think of Krista confirming her exit from B&B? Share your thoughts on the situation via the comment section below.
I called this happening when she was cast, simply because it is Bradley Bell’s M.O. He hires you, uses you, demotes you (a.k.a. fires you) and then you’re OUT! She deserved more than a phone call saying “We’re not renewing you. Goodbye.” She’ll either return to Days of Our Lives as Billie, or go somewhere else. Maybe Josh Griffith will get inspired for 2.5 seconds and bring Taylor to Genoa City? Doubt it, LOL!
All I can say is the woman is pure class I heard what she said about Eddy winning the Emmy!! She was a breath of fresh air on that gosh awful show and she will do fine in the future.
Krista is fabulous and that show is so dumb for not keeping her.
The same thing that was done to Gina Tognoni. She got royally screwed over. In Mt opinion she did a great job as Taylor.
She played Phyllis on Y&R, was fabulous
How many times is this show going to hire actors and actresses, use them for awhile, then stop writing for them when Bill Bell gets bored and has to go back to Ridge and Brooke?
Krista Allen brought new life and fun to the character of Taylor and should have had a major story.
It’s really too bad BB is so short sighted and let this talented lady go.
I’ve been watching this show since day one and I think I’ve finally seen the writing on the wall and this show isn’t worth my time anymore.
Luke and Laura, the iconic soap super couple, broke up and went on to successful relationships that the fans supported. Ridge and Brooke can do the same and should have years ago.
I agree, there is more time to do other things than watch a show that keeps doing the same characters with these actors. Ridge with Brooke and Liam going after Steffy same old stuff. What are scared to do anything new? I am gree with you Shari, this show isn’t worth our time.
Amen!!! I am so sick of Ridge and Brooke. The two make me so frustrated. It’s the same fricken story over and over again for the last 25 years!! I have watched since day one and couldn’t be more bored with the primo couple!!
I’m so glad that Luna has made an appearance. It’s nice to see a splash of color. BB is so pasty white!
They recast Thorne with Ingo and did nothing with him so this doesn’t surprise me but it’s a huge disappointment. They’ll go back to Hope/Liam/Steffy/Thomas and tell one story at a time.
Wow, how awful, she was awesome, how dumb is Bradley Bell?
Word is (on X) that KKL (Brooke) made a big stink about KA getting too much of a storyline. Because of that, KKL went to Brad Bell and bitched about it. That ultimately lead to Krista being let go from the show. I was so blindsided by this news. I’m officially done with Bold and will no longer watch the show. I’ve also unfollowed any cast members, producers, writers and the show’s twitter handles on the social media platform. The only one that I will continue to follow is Krista.
It’s not surprising. Bradley Bell has only known how to write for Steffy, Liam & Hope for years. I stopped following the soap because it got so bad.
How can we imagine for a single moment that Kristen, Felicia & Rick are not near their father? Jacob W Young criticized the soap when he left and Tracy Lindsay Melchior is doing the same today. I agree with them. The characters leave without any explanation. Rick is the best example as he is the son of the two main characters.
Katie & Bill are still around only appearing in fifty episodes a year and counting.
The Sheila/Deacon couple doesn’t work. It would have been more interesting to see Deacon with Taylor.
Finn, Carter, Luna, Katie, Donna… have no charisma and are boring as hell.
The soap completely lost its splendor with the successive departures of Darlen Conley, Ronn Moss, Susan Flannery & Jacob W Young. The new Steffy/Hope rivalry never lived up to Taylor/Brooke. Liam is the worst character in B&B history and contributes to fans’ disenchantment.
It’s a real waste as the soap was so good in the 80s/90s.
Great news! Cannot act very well. How she got nominated is beyond me.
I have lost the glow of it all,all the actors and actresses have lost the spark.Its time to get some new people or quit the show.
As many have said, this no surprise from this show. They hit gold with how the fans accepted her so positively in the role. The added bonus was how well she worked social media and gained a lot of followers from the show, Her positivity was so great to see and she worked like an old school soap star. The next big name should have it written into their contract that they must have and exit scene. They should also realize they might get a good year but that’s about it.
That’s messed up. They told her thankyou but the Taylor is not needed. What a slap in the face to Krista Allen. She Is so talented. Hopefully GH or Days or even Y&R hire her then B&B can see what a gem they lost. Messed up!! I’ll miss Taylor.

Serena Scott Thomas to Days of our Lives, But What Role Will She Play?
Look who’s coming to Salem next? In a tease on their official Instagram account, Days of our Lives has revealed that Serena Scott Thomas has been on set and will debut in an upcoming role, leaving many fans guessing just who might she play.
The English actress and documentary producer has previously starred in Diana, Her Story as Diane Prince of Wales, Dr. Molly Warmflash in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and played the villainess ‘Watcher” in Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, and Bruce Willis’ wife in the film, Hostages among others.
Serena is the younger sister of Kristen Scott Thomas, best known for her Oscar-nominated role in The English Patient. Several DAYS fans are already weighing in that Serena will play Konstantine’s (John Kaeplos) wife.

However, NannyKat 63 may have it all figured out the best, when she posted, that not only will “Serena play Kostantine’s wife,” but the character “had an affair with Victor Kiriakis and got pregnant.” Thus, making Xander (Paul Telfer) her son. She went on to theorize, “Perhaps, And John and Steve will find her in the nick of time… and she’ll enter in time to stop the wedding of Maggie to him. Xander will find out his true identity then. The baby was given to Victor’s brother to be raised in Scotland.”

Sounds plausible to us! Another guess came from donnamoore_23 who said, “Ya’ll think he could be Bobberette ‘s mom or sister or .. SOMETHING to do with his story .. someone who can back up what trauma he went through to be so sick? 🤷🏼♀️ but I think y’all are right could be Katerina.”

Two DAYS stars, Tamara Braun (Ava) and Linsey Godfrey (Sarah) also shared comments on Serena Scott Thomas’ upcoming appearance on DAYS. Godfrey simply said, “YES!!!! while Braun add her guess, expressing, “Ava’s mum. Oh wait, her mom was killed by her dad. Or was she? 🤔”
So, what do you think? What role will Serena Scott Thomas play on Days of our Lives? Share your theories in the comment section below.
