The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Flo Fulton

Flo played by Katrina Bowden on Bold and the Beautiful


Flo Fulton played by Katrina Bowden

Flo is the daugher of the late Storm Logan, which she didn’t know, growing up. Storm and her mother Shauna had a brief encounter years ago in Vegas. Both Flo and Shauna are from Las Vegas.  Flo was good friends with Dr. Reese Buckingham, who convinced her to come to L.A. with him. He embroiled her in his baby-selling scheme. She was uneasy about helping him, but she trusted him because of their previous romantic involvement and long friendship. Once she met Hope, the baby’s real mother, she started feeling very guilty. Then she learned that Hope is her cousin, which made things worse. Hope and the Logans, as well as the Forresters, welcomed Flo and Shauna and offered Flo a job, which she accepted.  Flo is also Wyatt’s former girlfriend, and they became more than friends, even though he was with Sally.  Reese fled town, but his daughter, Zoe, found out what they’d done. She and Thomas kept pressuring Flo not to tell anyone about the baby switch, so they wouldn’t all go to jail.

Flo seems like a very nice, kind person, caught up in something that she didn’t expect. She was tortured with guilt. She grew up without much family, so she’s very grateful to know that she’s connected to the Logans.  Her tacky mother, Shauna, embarrasses her a little when they first were around the Forresters. Somehow Flu grew up with more manners and seems to be classier and have more style than her mother.  She worked in Las Vegas as a croupier at a craps table, and then she worked in L.A. at Bikini Bar as a bartender before taking the job at Forrester.  Flo doesn’t smile much, unless she’s around Wyatt.

The truth came out about Phoebe being Beth, so Flo was fired from Forrester and ostracized by both the Forresters and Logans. She went to jail but cut a deal, so she was released.  She gave one of her kidneys to Katie when she was sick. She didn’t want the Logans to know at first, but then her mother made sure they knew.  She and Wyatt reunited, thanks to Katie’s suggestions and pointing out how much Flo has redeemed herself.  Brooke and Sally were really the only ones that didn’t forgive Flo.

Sally pretended to be dying, so Wyatt let her move back in with him. Flo was supportive of the idea, but eventually she grew suspicious of Sally’s health and found out that she was faking.  Flo was hit over the head by Sally’s friend and doctor, Penny, just as Flo was about to tell Wyatt about Sally faking it.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Eric Forrester

Eric Forrester on Bold and Beautiful


Eric Forrester played by John McCook

Eric is the head of the Forrester family and their successful multinational business, Forrester Creations.  He and his late wife Stephanie started the business with a loan from her father.  Although they loved each other, Eric had a wandering eye and cheated on Stephanie many times (She had her own huge secrets). They have a huge, loving family, despite their problems. Eric was married to Brooke, Ridge’s wife, and they had two children.  He was also briefly married to Donna and Sheila.  Eric often seemed weak in comparison to Stephanie, but he’s actually a very strong person. He and Stephanie were married 4 times, and she died in 2012.

Eric is now a grandpa and dotes on both his children and grandchildren. He is retired from the business, and his son, Ridge, is CEO, along with Ridge’s daughter, Steffy. Eric appointed them, so he can change his mind any time.  He’s found a great love in Quinn Fuller. His family didn’t approve at first because Quinn has done some horrible things.  However, Eric’s love forced her to change, so now she’s a better person.  Eric also has a brother named John, who lives in Australia.

Every time there’s a family occasion, such as Christmas, or someone’s wedding, they have it at Eric’s beautiful mansion. Eric plays the piano and everyone loves to gather around it and sing.  A large painting of Stephanie used to hang in the living room, but now Quinn’s painting hangs there for all to see.

Recently, his wife Quinn and his ex-wife Brooke were fighting a lot, which made Eric very upset. He told them to knock it off, but they continued. He wasn’t pleased when Quinn made sure that Ridge and the rest of the family saw a video of Bill and Brooke making out, which killed her marriage to Ridge. He forgave  Quinn as he always does.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Emma Barber

Emma Barber on The Bold and the Beautifu


Emma Barber played by Nia Sioux

Emma came to L.A. in 2018 as an internet for Forrester Creations. Her uncle is Justin Barber, who works for Bill Spencer. She concealed this fact at first, and she got in trouble for a few mistakes. She idolizes Hope and the rest of the Forresters.  Distantly related to the Barbers of Y&R, she loves to dance and sing. She was briefly involved with Xander, but they broke up because she wasn’t ready for a serious relationship.  Now she works at Forrester part-time while going to school.  Emma is very kind and trusting (a bit naive), and she has a lot of enthusiasm.

In 2019, Emma found out that baby Phoebe was really Hope’s presumed-dead baby, Beth, and that Flo, Xander, Thomas and Zoe were keeping it a secret. She had an argument with Thomas about it, and then she jumped in her car and headed to Hope’s house to let her know what was going on. Thomas followed in his car and tail-gated her.  She tried to text Hope that she was on her way, but she was run off the road by Thomas.  Her car fell down a cliff, and she died.  The police concluded that she died because she was texting, and Thomas never paid for her death.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Donna Logan

Donna Logan on Bold and Beautiful


Donna Logan played by Jennifer Gareis (formerly played by Carrie Mitchum)

Donna was around when the show began, in 1987. She’s one of Brooke’s two sisters (the other being Katie). They and their brother, Storm, helped raise themselves after their dad took off.  She was convinced to take her clothes off for nude photos, which Bill Spencer (Sr.) was going to publish. She was able to get out of that using blackmail.

The character returned to Los Angeles regularly in 2006. Donna briefly went after Ridge, then Thorne, and Eric. Eric was still married to Stephanie, but he divorced her and married Donna. None of his family approved of their marriage, and Stephanie’s sister, Pam, really wanted her sister and Eric to get back together. Pam did some terrible things to Donna; she was revealed to have a tumor as well as being bipolar. Pam also poisoned Eric to keep him away from Donna.  Eventually, Pam was caught, but Eric reunited with Stephanie.

Felicia (Eric’s daughter) revealed that Donna had a child that she gave up for adoption years ago.  The boy was Marcus, who worked at Forrester, and Eric welcomed him into the family.  His father was revealed to be Justin Barber (Bill Spencer’s lawyer).  Donna and Justin married but later divorced.  Donna left town for a while to visit with her father, Stephen, in Dallas. She made several return visits during the holidays, but she stayed in late 2018. She and Pam are friends and co-workers at Forrester Creations. Donna is very close with her sisters and their families. She lives with Katie and Will sometimes.

Donna is a kind and caring person, but didn’t make wise choices when she was younger. Despite her beauty, she hasn’t been very lucky with the men she’s chosen.  Now she mostly just supports her sisters and has a slight friendship with Pam.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Charlie Webber

Charlie Webber on Bold and the Beautiful


Charlie Webber played by Dick Christie

Charlie arrived in 2013 while he was guarding the Hope For the Future Blue Diamond for Forrester Creations Boutique. While Charlie seems like a bumbling old fool, he’s really a pretty smart detective. He now heads up the security for the whole company. He and Pam, Stephanie’s sister, hit it off right away. They both love to bake (Pam is famous for her lemon bars), and they love getting dressed up and going to Medieval Times.

Whenever there’s a holiday or Forrester family special occasion, Pam and Charlie are in the kitchen to prepare the food. Whenever anyone is up to no good at Forrester, Charlie gets suspicious and roots them out.

Not much is known about Charlie’s history or family.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Carter Walton

Carter Walton of The Bold and the Beautiful


Carter Walton played by Lawrence Saint-Victor

Carter, a lawyer, came to town in 2013 to visit his brother Marcus. He was hired by Forrester Creations on Marcus’ recommendation. His legal specialty was said to be patents and copyrights. He also worked in child custody law for a time. Carter was interested in Maya, and they were engaged for a short time, but she only had eyes for Rick. Carter is legally licensed to perform weddings, so he has married many couples on the show.

Sadly, Carter is rarely seen these days, aside from officiating at weddings.  He really likes Zoe and has been talking to her a lot. She almost married Thomas.  Carter wasn’t happy to see that.  He was relieved when they called off the wedding and Thomas was shown to be obsessed with Hope. Carter seems interested in dating Zoe.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Bridget Forrester

Bridget Forrester


Bridget Forrester played by Ashley Jones (and formerly Jennifer Finnegan and 11 other actors!)

Bridget grew up on the show. Her mom is Brooke and her dad is Eric. She was always a very good person. Some might call her the moral compass of the family.  She was a victim many times, especially from her well-meaning mom.  Brooke slept with both of Bridget’s husbands, Deacon and Nick. Nick also cheated on her with her Aunt Katie. Nick was the love of her life, but also her Achilles’ Heel.  Bridget always wanted to be a mom, but she miscarried. She finally became one after sleeping with Owen. This is when she finally became more than just a victim or good girl.

Bridget is a doctor because she loves helping people.  For a time, she was also a fashion designer.  She left town with her little boy, Logan, but she visits often.  Rick is her brother and close friend. Owen helps her raise Logan. She now lives in New York City.  She was visiting L.A. when Ridge and Brooke celebrated their reunion in March, 2020. She was at their family gathering when it came out that Brooke and Bill were making out recently (via a video).  Bridget was shocked, like everyone else.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Bill Spencer

Bill Spencer of Bold and the Beautiful


Bill Spencer played by Don Diamont

Bill owns Spencer Publications, a powerful publishing house; half of it was left to him by his father (the other half went to his sister, Karen). A billionaire, he is ruthless in business and doesn’t let anyone get in his way.  He worships money and is very “macho,” i.e. manly in a very old-fashioned sort of way. He drinks a lot. His only real friend is his lawyer, Justin, although he is also close to his assistant, Alison. His nickname is “Dollar Bill” Spencer.

However, he has softened over the years due to meeting his two grown sons, Liam and Wyatt, and marrying Katie and Brooke, and having son Will with Katie.  Although he’s done some really terrible things, he turned over a new leaf to become a better person and get closer with his family.

Bill is always at odds with Ridge because the two of them have battled so much over Brooke.

Bill and Katie never remarried, although they were close and living together, raising Will. In March, 2020, when Brooke and Ridge were having problems because of Thomas, Bill was very supportive. He and Brooke kissed the night before Thomas’ wedding, and they made out a lot. They agreed that it was a mistake and to never speak of it again. However, they didn’t know that Shauna had caught it on video, so it came out and then destroyed both their marriages. Bill is currently trying to make up with Katie, who won’t forgive either of them.

Lt. Baker played by Dan Martin

Lt. Bradley Baker has been seen on the show since 1997. Whenever one of the Forresters, Logans or Spencers commits a crime, or is the victim of a crime, he’s there, sniffing around. He’s always very suspicious of these crazy rich folk (and with good reason).

Not much is known about him, except that he has a fondness of hot dogs, he doesn’t smile much, and he has a son named Charlie that worked with him for awhile. When Bill was shot, he also worked with a detective named Alex Sanchez.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Amelia

Amelia (Nicola Posener) from Bold and the Beautiful


Amelia played by Nicola Posener

Amelia is the nanny for babies Kelly and Phoebe. She works for Steffy. She first started working for Steffy and her husband, Liam, when they had Kelly. Liam and Steffy divorced, and then Steffy adopted Phoebe (not knowing that Phoebe is really Hope’s daughter, Beth). When Steffy saw that Hope was getting too attached to Phoebe, she took the opportunity to go to Paris for some Forrester business, and an extended stay. Amelia is there with her.

When Thomas worked to break up Hope and Liam, he used Amelia to help him with that. Amelia sent Thomas a video of the babies, so he could use to make Hope feel guilty. Amelia told Liam how much Steffy and the babies miss him.

So far, not much else is known about Amelia.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Alison Montgomery

Alison (played by Princess Theodora) of Bold and the Beautiful


Alison Montgomery played by Theodora Greece

Alison is a recurring, minor (but memorable) character.  She is Bill’s administrative assistant/receptionist as well as confidante.  She often serves as his conscience. Justin is now primarily Bill’s conscience or confidante instead. Alison is referred to but rarely seen. She has done some of Bill’s dirty work in the past. For instance, she helped him keep Hope and Liam apart, and helped him blackmail Maya to dump Rick. She helped him when he and Katie broke up. She assisted him (unsuccessfully) with keeping Ridge from breaking up his wedding to Brooke.  Alison frequently talks truth to Bill when he needs it.  He respects her opinion. She shared a passionate kiss with Deacon because she confessed to liking bad boys.

Not much else is known about Alison. The character was last seen in 2016, but we hope she’ll be back.  The actress (who’s a royal princess) was engaged in 2018.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Ridge Forrester

Ridge Forrester on Bold and the Beautiful


Ridge Forrester played by Thorsten Kaye (formerly Ronn Moss)

Ridge grew up in a rich family, with lots of love from his parents, who doted on him (especially his mother, Stephanie).  When played by Ronn Moss, Ridge was a very quiet but romantic guy. He was always torn between two women (one of them usually Brooke). He seemed to let his mother dictate his life. Eventually, he stood up to his mother, but it was clearly difficult for him.

Brooke is the love of Ridge’s life and always has been. He was also married to Taylor and the younger Caroline, and engaged to Katie, and the older Caroline, but Brooke is always where his heart has been. They’ve been married eight times. This last time seems to be the final marriage for both, but we’ll see.

Ridge sired twin daughters, Steffy and Phoebe, and son Thomas, with Taylor. Phoebe died in 2008 in a car accident. He and Brooke have R.J., who’s younger than the others.  Ridge, Taylor and Brooke are all grandparents now.

Ridge is a designer in his parents’ fashion firm, Forrester Creations.  Although he grew up in a rich family, he has a big, kind heart.  In 2014, Ridge (now played by Thorsten Kaye) fell out of a helicopter and almost died. He temporarily lost his memory and his design skills. Caroline helped him get these back.  His personality changed since then. He seems to get irritated more and speaks out more. He’s more ascerbic and has trouble controlling his temper. After some struggling with his new personality, he and Brooke married for “the last time.” They both seem to have grown up some and work out their problems rather than splitting up.

Ridge and his daughter Steffy are co-CEO of the family company.

In 2019, Thomas came back to town and started causing trouble for Brooke and Ridge.  Thomas became obsessed with Hope, and Brooke was an obstacle to that.  Ridge and Brooke almost divorced because he couldn’t believe that Thomas was up to no good, and Brooke wouldn’t allow Thomas in their house. They were separated.  Ridge moved back to the Forrester mansion.  Quinn’s friend, Shauna, was living in their guest house, so she and Ridge grew close. They even kissed a few times. Once Thomas’ was shown up to be the psycho that Brooke kept saying he was, then Ridge begged forgiveness and moved back home.

Unfortunately, Bill and Brooke had been making out the night before Thomas’ wedding (where he was exposed), and Shauna got a video of it. Quinn sent the video to Brooke’s digital picture frame (which was a gift from Ridge), so everyone saw it.  Ridge was heartbroken by Brooke’s betrayal, especially with Bill.  He ran off and spent a wild drunken night with Shauna. Brooke came to find him, and it looks like they may be on the road to reuniting, but it’s unclear.

The Bold and the Beautiful Character Description: Brooke Logan Forrester

Brooke played by Katherine Kelly Lang


Brooke Logan played by Katherine Kelly Lang

Brooke has a degree in chemistry, yet she was working for her mother’s catering company when she met Ridge, the love of her life, in 1987. They both fell in love, but Ridge was engaged to Caroline Spencer. Ridge’s mother, Stephanie, didn’t approve of Brooke, so she did everything she could, for years, to keep them apart or break them up.  Brooke also did some scheming of her own to win and keep Ridge.  Later, Stephanie admitted that she recognized Brooke as a younger version of herself.

Brooke fights hard for the man she loves, but she has fallen in love with many others as well, including Eric, Ridge’s father (with whom she had two children), and his brother Thorne, as well as Nick and Bill.  She’s very loyal to her family (two sisters and one brother) and helped raise her younger sisters. She’s also very devoted to her two daughters and her son, but she has, in the past, slept with her daughters’ boyfriends/husbands, which caused some problems.

Brooke seems to have grown up quite a bit since her younger years. She mostly concentrates on her children and husband, and working at Forrester Creations.  She and Taylor have feuded for many years, but Taylor seems more interested in carrying on the feud than does Brooke.  They have a lot in common. Not only did they both love Ridge for many years and have children with him, they both interfere in their own children’s lives (just as Stephanie did) and are fiercely protective of them.  Taylor seems a little more unhinged than Brooke, though.

Just like anyone else, Brooke can be jealous, or self-righteous, or nosy; but generally, she’s a good person with a big heart.

Brooke loves having family around her all of the time, so many of her children and their spouses either live in her house, or in the guest house.  None of the Logan sisters can cook, but they love the holidays and always gather with the Forresters to celebrate.

Brooke and Ridge had a terrible time in 2019 and 2020. They separated and almost divorced. Thomas worked hard to break them up, so that he could have Hope. Quinn and Shauna also had a hand in their marriage breaking up.  Ridge has been involved with Shauna, and Brooke was briefly involved with Bill.
