Great news Taylor Hayes fans! Hunter Tylo is returning to The Bold and the Beautiful for a May Sweeps storyline arc! The news broke over the weekend through Hunter’s fan pages, but now has been confirmed by a show rep via Soap Opera Digest.
According to reports, Hunter will be returning for around three weeks of story that begins to play out on-air on April 25th and goes through part of May.
What brings Taylor back to the B&B fold? Perhaps, the continuation of the storyline with Aly Forrester (Ashlyn Pearce) who is struggling to come to terms with the death of her mother Darla (Schae Harrison) who was in fact, struck down and killed by a then drunken Taylor!
So, glad to hear there is more Hunter on B&B? What will happen when Taylor returns this time? Comment below!

‘General Hospital’s’ Steve Burton Shares Reaction to His Lead Actor Daytime Emmy Nomination, ‘It Was to Honor Leslie Charleson’
The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Award nominations kicked-off on Monday with the announcements of four major categories including, Outstanding Lead Performer in a Daytime Drama Series — Actor, and among the nominees is General Hospital’s Steve Burton (Jason Morgan).
Burton is already a two-time Daytime Emmy winner in the Supporting Actor category for his roles as GH’s Jason and his turn as Dylan McAvoy on Y&R. However, Steve is yet to win in the Lead Actor category and he has received 11 nominations along the way in his daytime career.
Following the reveal that he is a 2026 Daytime Emmy nominee, he and his GH co-star, podcast co-host and comedy show partner, Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) taped a special edition of their That’s Awesome podcast just featuring Burton’s reaction to the news.

FOR LESLIE CHARLESON
Steve expressed, “I know it’s such a cliche to say, ‘I’m just so honored to be nominated.’ But truly, I’m so grateful to be nominated, so grateful to just be on the show off and on for 30 plus years and to be nominated with the guys in my category. Just to get the opportunity. Frank (Valentini, executive producer, GH) texted me right away. I was just like, ‘Thank you for the opportunity to get to do what I do.'”
Taking in the moment, Burton thanked those who helped him select the material for his nominated reel. “Unless you win, you don’t get to say things. So. I’m going just say a few things: Elizabeth Korte (co-head writer, GH) helped me a lot with the material, (as did) Michelle Henry, who’s a producer on the show, Laura Wright (Carly, GH), and then my wife Michelle (Lundstrom). I believe it was Jill Phelps who told me that when A Martinez felt like he had a great show or great scenes, he would mark it down. So, when Emmy time comes, you have all the show numbers written down, and you don’t have to think about it, because that’s half the battle (finding the material).
Burton explained how meaningful this nomination is for him, because of playing the scenes of Jason losing Monica, and his closeness with the late, great Leslie Charleson.
“The nomination’s an amazing thing, and it’s beautiful, but really it’s to honor Leslie Charleson. A lot of my material was because of her, and how I started on the show as a Quartermaine, it just means a ton,” shared Burton. “Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH) has obviously has been instrumental, and I’ve said it from day one and I’ll shout it from the rooftops. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t be here, and to be working with the people that we work with is incredible.”

SHOULD JOHN OLIVER BE NAMED HOST OF THE DAYTIME EMMYS?
During the end of his conversation with Anderson, Steve suggested that the host of the Daytime Emmy should be Last Week Tonight’s John Oliver, who recently guest starred as the head of the WSB named Z on General Hospital, and is soon to show up on Days of Our Lives in a mystery role in August.
Thus far, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has not revealed their host for the upcoming ceremony to be held on October 30 in a venue to be named in Hollywood, California.
You can watch Steve sharing his reaction to receiving his 2026 Lead Actor Daytime Emmy nomination below on a special segment on the That’s Awesome podcast.
Now let us know, are you glad that Steve chose scenes surrounding Jason mourning the loss of the woman that raised him, Monica Quartermaine for his Emmy reel? What do you think of John Oliver as a suggestion to host the Daytime Emmys? Weigh-in via the comment section below.
Monday on Entertainment Tonight, the second set of nominations for the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced which included the highly-coveted Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series – Actress and Outstanding Daytime Talk Series.
ET followed suit after Extra announced the nominees, as previously reported, in the Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series – Actor and Outstanding Daytime Talk Host.
Now, five leading ladies of the soaps are vying for the gold for Lead Actress and the category marked the first-ever nominations for CBS daytime’s Beyond the Gates when two actresses made the final cut. Only General Hospital is not represented among the actresses this year after Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) took home the trophy last year.

THE FIVE LEADING LADIES OF THE SOAPS ARE …
The 2026 Lead Actress nominees are: Stacy Haiduk (Kristen DiMera), Days of Our Lives, Karla Mosley (Dani Dupree), Beyond the Gates, Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Summers), The Young and the Restless, Heather Tom (Katie Logan), The Bold and the Beautiful, and Tamara Tunie (Anita Dupree), Beyond the Gates.
This marks the first Daytime Emmy nominations for Karla Mosley and Tamara Tunie. In addition, this marks the first-time in her career that Stacy Haiduk had received a Lead Actress nod after two Supporting Actress nominations.
Meanwhile, Michelle Stafford had previously won 3 Emmys – 2 for Lead Actress and 1 for Supporting, but this recognition makes it her 11th overall nomination.
Heather Tom currently is tied for the most all-time Daytime Emmy wins with One Life to Live alum and General Hospital guest star, Erika Slezak. The B&B star has 19 nominations throughout her career.

Well it would be nice to see her back of course but why at such a crucial time is it a bait for the fans to help with ratings???
Why not give her a credible good storyline too she can do it
Great news; so happy to see her return. I am looking forward to seeing the focus taken off all the Logans for a change.
I would love to see Hunter back as Taylor, however, NOT if histroy is going to be re-written once again by Bell,Jr. FYI, Taylor was not drunk the night Darla was killed. The proof is in the video as well as the transcripts from 2006 (July).
Taylor was too drunk she even admitted to drinking 2 to 3 glasses of wine. That’s is the transcripts as well.
Taylor NEVER admitted to being drunk. She admitting she had been drinking (BIG difference) ON-SCREEN it showed her drinking one glass of wine and pouring the rest of the bottle out. This was hours before Phoebe called. I just completed 4 articles recently for BBUNIVERSE from the transcripts, video and archives, so all of this is fresh in my memomry
She was DRUNK during her Nick scenes on the boat. That was DRUNK!
Having 1-3 drinks of wine for someone who has a tolerance is much different than being slobbering drunk like Brooke recently was. Taylor had all her faculties in tact, had no slurred speech, she took control, had Phoebe call 911, assessed Darla for shock and accurately performed CPR. Someone DRUNK would have sat there, drool and go ?Duh?
More accurately, she was under the influence which is quite distinct from DRUNK.
Many of us won’t overlook the fact that Darla, dressed in black, DID fly directly into the path of Taylor’s car. Taylor was not weaving like some claim, she was driving in her lane where she should have been on that dark foggy night.
Thank you so much! I hope HT does not agree to come back for Brad Bell to bring her down just to prop up KKL. Enough! I know HT she is a lovely person and never once has she bad mouthed Brad Bell. Watching Katie & Fake Ridge carry on in the house he bought for Taylor makes me sick. I hope she mops the floor with that nut case Ally. Darla literally changed a tire and threw herself out into the Highway she was not called Einstein for no reason. Please do not rewrite story it was a tragic accident. By the way was Rick not responsible for Phoebe’s death? You know the daughter we all forget about!
I sincerely hope it’s better than her last appearance, that was pointless
YAY!
I love seeing Hunter on my screen, but I have my doubts bout watching this incest garbage. Bell has spit at loyal viewers once to many times.
Her fans want to see her back where she belongs ON CONTRACT AND ON FRONT BURNER. Nothing less than that.
I will watch for Hunter but when she goes I go again. I suspect Brad is only bringing her back to completely destroy her character once and for all but I will tune in and see how it goes. I will always love and support Hunter but I will not watch the character I have loved for 25 years rewritten and destroyed and then booted to the curb again. Bell has pulled the rug from underneath this viewer one too many times.
He’ll really lose sleep over that!
I hope Taylor and Ridge have scenes together and he starts to remember when he, you know, had children not named “R.J.” It’s as if all of his history before Thorsten Kaye took over was tossed in a garbage pail. I hate it.
I love the new Ridge. The last one (Ron Moss) was to much like a female for my taste. This one is manly. I don’t like the way Katie is acting lately. She went from a spoiled cry baby to acting like a bully. She keeps saying Brook took her husband but she seems to forget plotting them together every time. Sending them on a wild goose chase,now crying its because she was sick. In the long run he’ll only hurt Brook again but he wont stay with that cry-baby for long. I think Ridge is going to pretend to want Brook back just in order to get the President job from Eric, then he’ll fire Rick and a few others along with the end of Hope for the future, he’ll try to bring Katie back once he has the company & he’s already designed her a dress. He designed a wedding gown for Brook how many times? He also designed a dress for Brook, Caroline and Taylor now Katie hopefully they put it on display with the others. He called it Katie it could stand in there store beside the other 3!!
Try as hard as they want to convince some of us otherwise, the character is once again being used to lure the viewers that have left since ‘Taylor’ was #notworthy enough of a contract.
Why not have the wanna-be Forrester ‘matriarch’ help with Aly’s healing? Isn’t she capable? Didn’t Brooke herself admit she was responsible for the deaths of Macy and a truckdriver while SOBER? It might be something different for Brooke, seeing it’s likely that she won’t hop into bed with Aly to accomplish that.
It’s been well established to the viewers that there’s NO ROOM for Taylor or any of her family on this show. The Logans from the Valley are the only important ones now.
This former viewer got the message loud and clear and I won’t be back to watch Taylor being used as a prop again; nor will I be biting any ratings carrots, either.
Taylor’s guest 2 min. of screen time last time wasn’t worth it.
I accurately remember how the SL went down in 2006 and certainly don’t need to watch it be rewritten.
Maybe Hunter does not want a contract! I love Steffy but she does not want a contract right now either. I would like to see more of Donna. I’m also tired of seeing Liam hanging around like a sad sack.
So glad to hear Hunter’s coming back! I stopped watching a while ago as the show became all about Logans and ‘youngins’. FINALLY an actress is coming back to the canvas and let’s hope Brad Bell can write for her. Taylor was and will always be the decent, reasonable character on this show. Currently, there aren’t ANY!
welcome back FINALLY ,
I for one, CANNOT wait!!!!! I hope there are some Brooke/Taylor scenes, bc Brooke never got to beat her down for that disaster of a bday party!!! The feud is one of the best in daytime and they need to milk it while they can!!! She also needs to have scenes with Ridge, although I wish it was the old Ridge….Kridge is a complete joke and disgusting. I am friends with Winsor Harmon and he filled me in and told me about some MAJOR Taylor/Aly Scenes ahead. And for ppl who call it the Logan Show…..JMW chose to leave and explore other options, so u can’t blame Brad Bell for that. And the charter of Thomas has never been written effectively. They totally forgot about Amber claiming his virginity back in the day and they had a missed opportunity last time amber Moore was in town. But to have HT back on full-time would be awesome. She could give Quinn some counseling!! Haha!!!
I will be watching for a change! At last.
It’s not surprising that HT fans always so quick to blame KKL for HT not being offered a contract.. As I recalled when her departure was announced last year they said she was better off leaving .. But the show is doing just find without HT one liner .. I think Rena Sofer was a good replacement for HT.. A lot more entertaining!
Well of course you do in pure Brooke lover fashion. Hunter has a huge fanbase. The show has not done well without her or JMW! That is why Bell has to keep bringing her back. I like Rena but she is hardly a replacement for Hunter Tylo and the character of Taylor. You have to have someone on this show who is not a complete tramp or sleeping with relatives.
I see your point but Hunter is so boring I would like to see someone different be the good guy. Someone with a little spunk & excitement.
Let me hurry up and set my DVR to record another eppy of “The Logan Show”, where the talented, classy and stunning Taylor is brought back for just enough eppys, to rewrite history, in another lame attempt, to diminish Brooke’s latest familial sexual affair.
Apparently Bell Jr. is under the impression that we are all senile if we can’t remember what occurred in that storyline 8 years ago.
What I want to know is when the truck driver’s kids, are going to come back and try to shank Brooke for causing their mother’s death….or will there be a rewrite on that too….in Brooke’s favor, of course?
That is just a bait. I will be back watching when Hunter Tylo and hopefully JMW or any other good actor is back. A storyline which does not declare the viewers as idiots would also help. TK , HT and Scott are good, the rest is more than mediocre.
I’m glad to see Hunter back worried that Bell is only bringing her back for another terrible storyline. Like others here, I’m reasonably sure we are in for a re-writing of history where Bell will declare Taylor as a falling down drunk the night of the accident. He hopes the audience has forgotten that on screen through out the months following the accident and the entire trial the accident was NEVER portrayed that way. Thank goodness for us long time viewers with good memories and Youtube videos—the truth of that storyline will never be compromised for us!
Well I knw she wont be there for long the Logan fans don’t want her arnd as they seem to ONLY care to see one character…..how boring .Either way BnB is now Blocked on my Cable feed not tht I care either who wants to see the same women fite over one man anyweys
She has the same name as an actress that appeared on DAYS, but they don’t look alike.
Nope same lady– she had some plastic surgery done on her face, which might explain the change in her looks, but this Hunter is the same Hunter who played Marina Toscano on Days in 89-90.
Hunter Tylo and her character, Taylor, were the reason I watched B&B for over 20 years. They are also the reason I am not watching now because without them, B&B is nothing to me. I would love to see Hunter return as long as it is not done in order to destroy her character. Taylor was drunk when she hit Darla? Who watched those scenes with me? Taylor was in total control while talking to Phoebe, no evidence of even being “high”, much less drunk. Over the years, there were a few scenes in which Taylor was drunk and we got to see those scenes; therefore, it was very easy to be able to determine when she was drunk and when she was not drunk. We did not have to guess and she was definitely not drunk when Darla went flying into the air and hit her car. Also, she and Ally got along just fine the Christmas show of 2008. I guess we did not see that happen either.
