Longtime Big Brother favorite and winner, and in more recent years, reality show casting director, Rachel Reilly, is coming o her old soap opera stomping grounds, when she returns to CBS daytime’s The Bold and the Beautiful and reprises her role of “Rachel.”

In previous years, “Rachel” has been a server at the Bikini Bar server. However in 2025, there is a twist! It seems her character has a side hustle as an “energy healer and spiritual cleanser,” who has had “experiences with toxic houses,” according to Entertainment Weekly.

Reilly is also coming off a return to the Big Brother house this summer, where she competed in season 27 of the hit reality-competition series franchise. Rachel taped today at B&B’s new studios her upcoming scenes. They are currently set to air on Thursday, November 13, and Friday, November 14. Look for Reilly to be sharing scenes with Don Diamont (who plays Bill Spencer), Heather Tom (Katie Logan), and Scott Clifton (Liam Spencer).

This will mark Reilly’s 30th and 31st appearance on The Bold and the Beautiful since back in 2010, when she was on for a string of episodes through 2014. So, what’s new this time out? Rachel explains, “I shook the Big Brother 27 house with boldness, beauty, and a touch of betrayal. So naturally, I’m stepping back into the Forrester world — where drama meets couture. As an icon, I serve both and couldn’t be more excited to be back.”

In what has been a ‘Bold and Beautiful’ tradition since 2004, the soap opera has always brought over contestants from the just completed season of Big Brother in crossover appearances, which began with Season 5 winner, Drew Daniel, playing a press conference reporter.

Reilly’s husband and another Big Brother alum, Brendon Villegas and her sister, Elissa Reilly Slater, have also appeared alongside her on The Bold and the Beautiful. However, its Villegas who holds the number #2 slot having appeared on The Bold and the Beautiful 18 times, in what will be just 13 shy of his wife. Rachel and Brendon met on Big Brother and were married in 2012. The couple have two children, Adora and Adler.

So, looking forward to seeing Rachel Reilly back for a continued record-setting 30th and 31st time as “Rachel” on The Bold and the Beautiful? Is Big Brother’s “Brenchel” one of your favorite all-time duos? Let us know via the comment section. But first, we went back through our MFTV archives and yes, indeed we interviewed Rachel and Brandon twice during their visits to The Bold and the Beautiful in 2010 and 2011. Take a look below!

If I was still watching #Bold, I would skip these episodes. So, having not watched the show for over 2 years now, just reinforces my belief that toxic personalities like Rachel do NOT deserve my two eyeballs.

THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: Has Dylan’s Mystery Caller/Stalker Been Revealed to Be an Alive Luna Nozawa?

Published

We have another scream machine on her hands at The Bold and the Beautiful after the dramatic ending of the May 1 episode, and that would be Dylan (Sydney Bullock)!

B&B is finally making some headway on just who was the person behind the mystery call that Dylan received telling her they have some “unfinished business.” At the time of the mysterious call, it was clear that the voice was altered to disguise the true identify of the person on the the other line.

On today’s show, after Dylan and Electra (Laneya Grace) exchange words in the wardrobe room about Dylan wanting to rebuild their trust and friendship and how Electra has issues stemming from way back trusting anyone after what Remy (Christian Weissmanm) did to her by befriending her and then plastering deep fake nude photos of her across social media.

The timing of Electra bringing up Remy is also interesting to us, as we had previously reported now that Christian Weissmann is back and on on contract with The Bold and the Beautiful, he’s already teased that Remy has another connection to someone on the canvas, which many are still believing its Dylan.

At the end of the episode, after Electra leaves the room, Dylan hears noises coming from behind the dress rack. She asks, “Jamie” is that with you? After no answer and a bit more hangar and dress ruffling, a figure steps out behind it, while Dylan is looking down at her tablet trying to get back to work.

When Dylan looks up, she lets out a scream that could be heard to Nebraska, as viewers see partial view of what looks to be a woman with long dark hair from the back. Dylan in shock, says, “It’s you!” We fade to black.

So, what’s going on here? Is the reason the caller said to her that we have “unfinished business” because on Monday, it will be revealed to actually be an alive and well, Luna (Lisa Yamada)? Did the two strikes some sort of deal, that allowed Dylan to help Luna escape after Luna supposedly died after Dylan ran her down with her car, which was all off-screen? Another theory, is the mystery caller is Remy and he is doing some sort of Luna fakeout on Dylan for a yet to be revealed reason.

What do you think is going on? Did Lisa Yamada just make an on-screen return to The Bold and the Beautiful? Share your thoughts and theories below, but first check out our recent interview from back in March on the Michael Fairman Channel when Lisa who attended the BBTV app launch party.
