After spending the first two decades of the 20th century appearing in primetime series like "What About Brian?" and made-for-TV movies like "The Wrong Mr. Right" (via IMDb), Krista Allen is returning to her daytime roots on "The Bold and the Beautiful" and couldn't be more thrilled.
"I got a call that they were looking for a new Taylor, and I got so excited that they were recasting and that I was even in the mix that they were coming to me!" Allen told Soap Opera Digest. "If there was ever any type of role to come back to daytime with, it would be this one. I couldn't have asked for a better role to step into — or bigger shoes to fill."
According to TV Insider, "B&B" contacted Hunter Tylo to reprise the role she last played in 2019, but she declined the invitation. So, Allen got to jump into the part and slip into her shoes, saying she is up for "a good challenge."
"The day I was offered the role, I was bouncing off the wall," she told Soap Opera Digest. "I was just so excited and I felt so grateful and so blessed and just so lucky. Those are the three things I felt. I am really excited!"
With Taylor back in town, will she be the nail in the coffin of Brooke and Ridge's latest go at a toxic and troubled marriage? That remains to be seen.
