Since coming to The Bold and the Beautiful, both the characters of Shauna Fulton (Denise Richards) and her daughter, Flo (Katrina Bowden) have certainly stirred the pot for the Logan, Spencer, and Forrester clans.

Now comes word via Soap Opera Digest, that ‘Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star and current cast member of B&B, Denise Richards has decided to sign-on for more episodes of the CBS Daytime soap.

Richards revealed she has originally only signed on for three months, but after speaking with B&B’s executive producer and head writer, Brad Bell on how much she loved working on the show, things worked itself out and now you can look for more Shauna. As viewers know, she currently has her eye on Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye).

As for Richards B&B TV daughter, Katrina Bowden, the actress took to her Instagram to reveal some photos from down under. Seems she is currently filming a movie in Australia and has taken a break from the sudser but will be back.

In her posts, Bowden expressed she is on hiatus taking 6 and half weeks off to film the movie, but fielded a comment in the post on her status with B&B. Obviously, this will take Bowden off the shooting schedule at B&B for now, so Flo will be off the canvas for a bit, but Katrina will be returning to the daytime drama when filming is completed in Australia.

So, glad to know Denise Richards and Katrina Bowden will both be continuing on at B&B? Comment below.

Do not care for Denise Richards. Katrina Bowden can stay in Australia! Let Sally and Wyatt have a happy love story. Flo is not good for Wyatt. She is too shifty and needy.

I Love her! Denise Richards spices up the whole place. It’s a very nice change. And Flo too is a welcome relief. Tired of the same old grind.

I would rather watch some good old fashioned soap opera cat fights, than the useless story of Hope trying to get custody of Douglas. I am not saying that Thomas is father of the year, but of all people she should know what it feels like to be without your child. With all the complaint she has done about missing time with Beth, she is losing more time by focusing on Thomas and Douglas. It is not as if Douglas is living in a shelter. And I know Thomas keeps messing with his head, but enough is enough. And I… Read more »

True. I also had read they were killing off Flo, due to kidney problem, but she says above that she’ll be back, and they keep saying that someone dies, so what goes?

Will miss Flo, but glad she’ll return.

Please let this be a short extension and give Ridge a brain!!! Nothing against Denise Richards, I just can’t stand the character.

Guest

Violet Lemm2

Oh, he’s got a brain, it just isn’t where it’s supposed to be! Maybe he and Brooke need a break anyway.

I just wish they would let Denise Richards go. I really am not liking her character and her acting is over the top.

Fultons need to go. Sick of Ridge too. We need some better storylines.

As the World Turns and Guiding Light Favorite, Lisa Brown, Passes Away at 67

November 26, 2021

(UPDATED) In just more heartbreaking news in the soap world in 2021, we have lost another beloved performer. Lisa Brown, who was so noteworthy for her spunky and emotional turns as Guiding Light’s Nola Reardon from 1980-1985, and later as Iva Snyder on As the World Turns from 1986-1994, has died.

Brown passed away this week on November 24th at the age of 67 following a brief illness. The news came via the As the World Turns Facebook Fan Group and Soap Opera Digest.

This comes just two months later following the death of her former on-screen love interest Michael Tylo (Ex-Quinton, Guiding Light), who passed away in late September.

Those that followed Lisa’s career know she also starred in the Broadway Musical 42nd Street, while still playing Nola each and every day on Guiding Light.

She is survived by her children: James “Buddy” Nielsen, and daughter Victoria from her first husband Tom Nielsen (Ex-Floyd, GL) in addition to her two grandchildren, Penelope Ruiz-Nielsen and Brayden Hopf, and her second husband Brian Neary.

Brown’s on-screen ATWT daughter, Martha Byrne (Ex-Lily) simply tweeted, “My heart is broken.”

On Friday, Lisa’s son, Buddy Nielsen, posted a touching tribute to his mother, where he revealed that she passed away due to cancer.

Buddy shared: “My Mom passed away the day before Thanksgiving after a very quick battle with cancer. This all happened really fast and wasn’t expecting it. I’ve been MIA as I’ve been back and forth between LA and NJ as she has been in and out of the hospital the last couple weeks. This dream we live, we are all subject to the suffering, aging and death. It’s not to be morose but to understand that we have finite time and must take care with what we do and how we do it. To be able to be with someone at their last breath is truly beautiful. We must not fear death as without it we would never be born and experience the 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows. Our existence is both small and vast all at the same time. We are tiny but immense. I know she is here but no longer in her physical form, what we do in love we leave in death. My beautiful daughter and unborn son are her legacy.”

Share your condolences to Lisa’s family, and let us know of your remembrances of this wonderful actress who gave us so many memorable moments throughout her career via the comment section below. But first, watch Lisa in some of her classic scenes from ATWT and GL.
