The Bold and the Beautiful
‘Big Brother’ Favorite, Rachel Reilly, Makes a Return to ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’
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.

Interviews
‘The Bold and the Beautiful’s’ Scott Clifton Talks His Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Nomination, and the Omission of His Scene Partner, Annika Noelle (Exclusive)

Less than two weeks ago, The Bold and the Beautiful’s Scott Clifton (Liam Spencer) received the news he was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in the Outstanding Lead Actor category at the upcoming 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
Clifton delivered what may have been the best work of his career in 2025; in a heartbreaking story arc where a believed-to-be-dying Liam tries to come to terms with his fate, and what his exit from the land of the living means, and what it would do to the daughters he leaves behind, the women he’s loved, and his father.
Going into this year’s Emmy race, Scott is already a three-time Daytime Emmy winner and a record holder for being the only actor to have won in the three acting categories throughout his career: the now defunct Younger Actor, Supporting Actor and Lead Actor.
Shortly after receiving the news of his latest nomination, Scott shared his reaction and what scenes he decided to include on his now Emmy-nominated reel when he participated in the Michael Fairman Channel’s Daytime Emmy Nominations Special 2026 Live!
During the conversation with Scott, it was very apparent that he feels his on-screen partnership with Annika Noelle (Hope) was a key to his success in 2025, and one of the reason for a key scene he chose. However, Annika’s name was left off the nomination list which disappointed Clifton as he shared below.

HOW SCOTT CLIFTON WENT ABOUT CRAFTING HIS LEAD ACTOR REEL
“They got a lot of reels to watch. So, I just picked three scenes. It’s important to create a context so that people aren’t completely lost,” explains Clifton on his best practices strategy. “I picked the scene where Liam found out the diagnosis (about his inoperable brain mass), where Finn (Tanner Novlan) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) tell him which sets the stage. And then, there is a scene where Liam is saying “don’t tell anyone.”
Next, there’s the scene at Il Giardino between myself and Don Diamont (Bill) where Liam is telling his father without telling him, by saying, ‘I just want you to know how much I love you, and how grateful I am to you.'”
Then, the final scene, and I owe it all to Annika, was between Liam and Hope. This is where Hope kind of says, ‘I know,’ and then they just have a conversation about their lives and their daughter. Liam also talks about his mom. It just seemed real to me and the best way to close it out. That was it. That was the whole reel about 11 minutes long.”

ANNIKA AND SCOTT’S BITTERSWEET EMMY MOMENT
When Scott connected with his on-screen wife, Annika Noelle, following the news of his nomination, which actually came on the Monday before the full nominations were revealed on Tuesday via Extra, there were a rollercoaster of emotions.
Scott detailed, “Annika sent the most beautiful congratulations, and I was trying to figure out if they had announced her category. However, it was in the middle of that conversation that she said. ‘no.’ And then, the conversation turned into my rage for her not being recognized because that whole story was just as much hers as it was mine.”
“My, God,” Clifton continued. “The way that she had to downplay so many things and keep the secret that she knew, that I knew, that she knew. The end of that scene, I couldn’t not include it. It’s more a scene about her and how hard this is for her than it was about Liam. It blew me away that she wasn’t recognized for it this year, but she will next year.”
You can check out Scott’s segment on the Daytime Emmy Nominations Special 2026 Live! below at roughly the 25:46 mark into the show.
So, were you happy to hear what scenes Scott submitted that earned him a Lead Actor Daytime Emmy nomination? Do you think he’s one of the frontrunners to take home the gold when the Daytime Emmys are handed out on October 30? Do you feel as Scott does that Annika Noelle should have been a nominee for her work in 2025? Let us know via the comment section.
