After rumors began this week that none other than Hunter Tylo would be making a guest return visit to CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful as Taylor Hayes next month, came word today from the popular star’s official facebook page that that news of a return are false at this time.
According to Hunter Tylo – The Huntress caught on camera facebook page, this statement was offered up: “Rumors are out there, that Hunter Tylo is in talks with The Bold and the Beautiful, to reprise her role as Dr. Taylor Hayes, beginning next month. There is no truth to those Rumors, no talks are in place between Hunter and The Bold and the Beautiful. We thank you all for the love and support you are showing Hunter, XO Team Hunter.”
So, are you disappointed that according to the facebook post that there are no talks going on at this time between B&B and Tylo? Do you want her to return to the series now, especially in light of Ridge as played by Thorsten Kaye in the mix in storyline? Let us know!
Hunter’s perormance on B&B, IMO, really lacked the last few years she was on contract with the soap. I always loved Taylor, but Hunter lost her joy in playing her or at least I feel that way. I would take a recast. Lisa Rinna? Lisa Peluso?
I think it is more about the story she had to play.
LOL
Lisa Rinna would be a hoot, just to have her back on our screens
she’d still have time to keep her star out of our reach
she’s so ms. Hollywood
I’m glad “fans” even mention her
Dean…YES!!!!! I think that Lisa Peluso would make an AWESOME Taylor Hayes…HELL TO THE YEAH!!!!!
NOOOOOO. Terrible character and so so actress. Leave it alone.
I like B&B without Hunter Tylo. With all due respect, I find all the cosmetic procedures to be distracting.
I miss Miss Tylo as Taylor and hope the absence of actor and character can allow writers to restore the character to the strong assertive positive woman Taylor once was. Seems beginning with that awful embryo switch storyline — where are you Jack? and why doesn;t either mother seem to be concerned about you, despite the custody battle? — Taylor was made into a Brooke clone. Instead of playing against Brooke in the ongoing rivalry for Ridge’s affections, she stooped to her level with random relationships and games that sometimes seemed an afterthought. The endgame could never be Ridge and Taylor but she is the mother of his three children. And Thomas and Steffi remain vital characters. My fear is they, too, will fade intot he woodwork with Thorne, Felicia and other Forresters in favor of the Logans… and that would be a shame.
I am delighted she is not returning, because I am sick of the tired threesomes on B&b.
It has been replaced by the tired threesome/foursome of Hope/Wyatt/Steffi/Liam!
LOL… you overlooked my comment was plural. I guess that’s because I had temporarily forgotten about Steffi. 😉
I DO NOT want the character of Taylor returning to B&B anytime soon. No. I’m sorry but I was SO GLAD when Hunter Tylo left B&B. More and more, Taylor kept getting on my nerves…self-righteous, preachy, overly-moral, nosy, meddlesome…No Thank You. As far as I’m concerned, the B&B canvas is full enough already.
Peace.
Yikes!
right now… that could sound like:
Robin on GH
Sami on DAYS
as well
We don’t need another person in this mess of triangles—there is nothing this character could add to story as it at the moment. I for one am glad it was just a rumor.
Disappointed? No. They could always recast the part. Steven Tyler would be great.
Steven Tyler, huh??? HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Good one, Harry. LOL!!!!!
LOL– you made me spit out my soda with that one— thanks for the laugh it made my day.
LMFAO!!! That’s funny!
No I am not why should she go back and say one or two lines every week this is the Brooke & Hope show.
Why bother? Brad Bell only knows how to write for literally one handful of characters. It was the “all about Brooke” show for 20 years, and now it’s the “all about Brooke and her daughter Hope whom she conceived with her other daughter’s boyfriend” show.
I do not miss Hope in this show at all- I think Stephanie and Wyatt would be very exciting together as a couple- Love Liam but he is too passive and boring when he gets with Stephanie- this is the only soap opera I tape and watch anymore
Daytime Confidential has confirmed her return and called you out Michael. Let’s have a food fight!
I would love to see Hunter Tylo return to B&B. Maybe we would see a little less of Brooke for awhile.
B&B bring back hunter and make a storyline beter then ever before ..you have 2 make her fans that watching something 2 talk about..
I only wish it were true that she is NOT returning to B & B! Other sources claim she is definitely coming back and reprising her role as Taylor Hayes. No offense to the actress, but her character is the most lackluster of all. “Taylor” is a hypocrite, back-stabber, neurotic, alcoholic moron who can’t even recognize or help her own daughter with problems, much less any clients who seek her out for psychological aid. For a psychiatrist to carry a torch for nearly 30 years over a man who very obviously prefers another woman, is just plain INSANE!
Everything you said about Taylor except for the alcoholic can be said about Brooke. Brooke is still the same tramp she has been for the past 26 years. She hasn’t shown any growth at all.
I would like to see Taylor return but only if she has a decent s/l. Bell and his team can’t seem to write anything but triangles and they are written poorly at that. With one exception, I loving what they are doing with Quinn.

Małgosia continued, “Stacy was not only a legendary actor, admired and loved by audiences the world over, but also my beloved husband, my companion and the heart of our family.

Beyond the Gates
‘Beyond the Gates’ Emmy Winner Ambyr Michelle Wants to Compete on ‘Dancing with the Stars’: ‘Pick Me’ (Exclusive)
Soap opera fans are always clamoring for when Dancing with the Stars reveals their cast each season, that they would include a familiar face from daytime drama, but it rarely happens, if ever, anymore.
Over the last several years, the series has leaned heavily into casting celebrities with massive TikTok or Instagram followers, which in turn, have helped this season and last have their best ratings numbers in years.
But, how about for next season’s cast of Dancing with the Stars, that it could include newly-awarded Daytime Emmy winner, Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas) of Beyond the Gates?

LOVE OF DANCE TO LOVE OF ACTING
Michael Fairman TV spoke to Michelle about her dance background and if she would love a shot at lifting the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy during Wednesday’s November 11, livestream chat on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Ambyr explained to fans (who joined in on the live chat), how she began her show business career. “I started off as a dancer, first and foremost. Acting wasn’t really something I wanted to go after. I did plays when I was younger, but it was just something we did in school, but I really wanted to be a dancer. I moved out to LA to dance, and I fell out of love with dance, which was so weird.”
This year’s Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series winner, added, “I was like, ‘What is going on?’ I moved all the way out here for dance. I found I was forcing myself to go to dance class, and I just didn’t have the passion for it. I was working at this restaurant at the time, and one of my coworker was like, ‘What about taking an acting class out here?'”
Next, Ambyr took the coworker up on the idea. “So, I took an acting class and I fell in love with it that day,” shared Michelle. “I was like, ‘I want to do this for the rest of my life.’ I thought, I would love to book a role, of course, as a dancer, but I think acting has a little bit more longevity.”

A SHOT AT THE LEN GOODMAN MIRRORBALL TROPHY
When the talked turned to if Ambyr would consider or be interested in appearing on the ballroom dance competition series, she piped up with, “I would love to do Dancing with the Stars! Pick me!”
As those in the live chat rallied around this idea, it made us think, Ambyr could be the first contestant from Beyond the Gates, and someone representing the soaps. It checks off so many boxes! To which Ambyr replied, “That would be beautiful.”
You can check out the full conversation with Ambyr below.
So, what do you think soap fans? Can we make sure Ambyr’s name gets in front of the producers and casting director for next season’s Dancing with the Stars? Would you like to see her in the competition? If so, who would be your dream pro professional dance partner for her? Let us know in the comment section.
The latest ratings are out for the week of October 26-30, 2026 and the big takeaways include: that CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates was separated by only 23,000 viewers behind third place (of the soaps) General Hospital! For the last several weeks, Beyond the Gates has been closing the gap on this year’s winner for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and continuing to best GH in the key demos.
According to the latest Nielsen ratings breakdown from Soap Opera Network, the final week of October brought Beyond the Gates 1.790 million on average tuning-in and the show set a season high in total viewers. Meanwhile, General Hospital hit a new season low! The long-running ABC soap had 1.813 million for the week, and once again the series did not go over the 2 million mark.
Meanwhile, in the key Women 18-49 demo, Beyond the Gates was firmly ahead of GH with a rating share of 0.21, while General Hospital had 0.17 rating share.Then, in the key Women 25-54 demo, Beyond the Gates was once again ahead of the ABC soap with a ratings share for that demo at 0.30 while GH came in with 0.26.

MORE BY THE NUMBERS
In addition and comparatively, Beyond the Gates +22,000 viewers week-to-week, and had the largest gains in viewership year-to-year in daytime TV with +267,000 from this in 2025.. However, General Hospital seems to be going in reverse. The show was down -56,000 viewers week-over-week and down -22,000 year-over-year .
BEYOND THE GATES
Let’s take a look at some of the storylines that had people tuning-in to Beyond the Gates during the ratings week:
Hayley (Marquita Goings) attempted a massive shocker regarding her pregnancy and tried to use it to extract money from Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett). Although, Bill saw right through her game, he demanded a paternity test, and made it clear he has no intention of raising the child—planning instead to pay her off to take the baby and leave. Meanwhile, Hayley confided her plan to her cousin Randy (Maurice P. Kerry).
Jacob Hawthorne (Jibre Hordges) and Naomi Hamilton (Arielle Prepetit) clashed over Jacob’s ongoing investigation into The Impaler, causing significant strain in their marriage. At the same time, Smitty (Mike Manning) considered taking matters into his own hands—including potentially heading to Mexico for evidence—while Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon) worried about what comes next.

GENERAL HOSPITAL
Over at General Hospital for the ratings period, the story served up included:
Carly (Laura Wright) and Valentin (James Patrick Stuart) teamed up to investigate what really happened to Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna). Later, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) leads them to Jack’s dead body.
Jude (Wil Traval) dropped a bombshell claim to Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn); that he is Phoebe’s father, while Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Chase (Josh Swickard) signed their divorce papers.
Then, Danny caught Rocco (Finn Carr) and Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarski) sharing a kiss, plus the shocking return of Heather Webber (Alley Mills) capped the week.
Now the questions become; without having much promotional synergy in the ABC day-part to draw more eyeballs it is not helping but hurting General Hospital. It seems Beyond the Gates is also a benefactor of a one-two-three punch of CBS soaps (Y&R, B&B and BTG) and promotion.
However, that still doesn’t take away the fact that Beyond the Gates is close to besting GH in all ratings category as they go head-to-head in some markets across the country.
So, are you excited to see Beyond the Gates climb in the ratings? Are you concerned for General Hospital? Do you think they can stave off Beyond the Gates in total viewers or will the upstart soap overtake them in the next ratings report? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
