Liz Lemon’s former assistant on 30 Rock, Cerie Xerox, is making a move to daytime. Not really! But the actress who played her, Katrina Bowden is on her way to be a series regular on CBS’s The Bold and the Beautiful!
According to TV Line who broke the casting news, Bowden will be a woman who shares a past with Dr. Buckingham (Wayne Brady).
Look for the character named, Flo, to hit the canvas on January 14th.
Could this be a triangle on its way involving Taylor/Buckingham/Flo?
This isn’t Bowden’s first soap turn. She previously got her career started on One Life to Live in a multi-episode story arc back in 2006.
In addition to appearing in all seven seasons of 30 Rock, she has also appeared in Psych, Ugly Betty, New Girl and several Lifetime Movies.
So, intrigued by the addition of Bowden to B&B? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.
I remember when OLTL did those arcs back then. Wasn’t it Michael Malone? Whoever it was it was over-hyped and weird LOL. She looks like a Brigitte recast.
The absolute last thing B&B needs right now is another new series regular. Just a few months ago, B&B introduced Zoe, a newbie who has not exactly become an established character yet. Just last week, they introduced her father, who is brand new to the show and who we know nothing about. Now they’re bringing in a woman from his past? This is all too much, too soon. Y&R is dealing with the same issue with the Rosales family.
Characters should be well-established on their own before being inserted into a ready-made love triangle. And with everything Taylor is dealing with right now in terms of mental health, is ANOTHER love triangle really the best thing for her?
B&B has too much going on right now. Too many new characters that don’t add anything to the show, while characters like Wyatt, Sally, Rick, Maya and Justin languish on the back-burner. I’d much rather see any of these characters as opposed to Reese, Zoe or this new woman.
Also, “Flo”? They really couldn’t have picked a better name?
Usually when they introduce new characters, it means that SLs are coming to a climax, but I can’t see that happening anytime soon. There is still so much ongoing with Hope, Liam, Steffy, Brooke, Bill, etc. Too much for a half hour, and now more? It was so boring the other day, I didn’t even watch it all.
Why are they adding story to peripheral characters? Don’t really understand.
Whomever she is, I hope she takes the good Dr. back with her. I love Wayne Brady, but not in this role, and certainly not as a love interest for Taylor.
I agree 100%

In shocking news to so many, This Is Us star Justin Hartley (Kevin Pearson) has filed for divorce after two years of marriage from former Days of our Lives’and Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause (Jordan Ridgeway).
According to court documents on Friday via TMZ, Justin is citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of the split.
The date of their separation is listed as July 8, 2019, which has perplexed those in the media when the pair have been seen together in recent months at Hollywood events and sharing posts of one another on their social media accounts.
Justin and Chrishell were last seen together in public last week on November 14th at a Hollywood Reporter-sponsored pre-Golden Globes party. Reps for both actors have you to share statements or make a comment.
Hartley and Stause tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Malibu’s Calamigos Ranch back in October 28th, 201, which was four years to the day after they met.
As daytime fans know, Justin and Chrishell met when they were both part of the soap opera community. Justin was last on daytime as Adam Newman on The Young and the Restless. Hartley has one child, Isabella, from a previous marriage to another soap actress, Lindsay Korman, who he met when they both were on the defunct NBC soap Passions. Justin and Lindsay were married for 8 years.
We will update you as they warrant in this developing story. And on personal note: we wish nothing but the best for both Justin and Chrishell.
