Over the last week, the reclusive former star of The Bold and the Beautiful, Hunter Tylo (ex-Taylor Hayes) has made two virtual interview appearances in short order on the Jersey + Coffee + Yeshua Show on The Unexpected Cosmology You Tube Channel.

Surrounded by her artwork, Tylo first chatted with hosts Noel Joshua Hadley and Jenna Rose in part one entitled, Hunter Tylo Unfiltered: She left Hollywood and now she’s back to talk about it live on August 1, and then on August 7, she returned to the channel again for part two called The Hunter Tylo Chronicles: Revealing the Dark Side of Hollywood.

Often the conversations go off track but sort of spans a myriad of subjects including: narcissistic relationships, toxic behavior, satanical forces, sexual abuse, christianity, religion, working in Hollywood, horror films, sexual exploitation, soap operas, working on The Bold and the Beautiful, the Queen of Drama reality show, Hunter’s relationship with her late ex-husband, soap star, Michael Tylo, the Melrose Place lawsuit where she was fired for being pregnant, why she didn’t return to B&B more recently, and so much more.

Tylo’s life has been very complex and traumatic most of her adult live; including losing her son, Mickey back on October 18, 2007, at 19 when he accidentally drowned in the family pool in Henderson, Nevada. The Clark County Coroner concluded that “the cause of death was drowning due to seizure disorder,” and was ruled accidental. In addition, in 1998, her daughter Katya was only 4-years-old when she was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer, and had to have her eye removed to save her life. Tylo wrote about that experience in her 2000 memoir, Making a Miracle.

‘MAKING A MIRACLE’ SEQUEL, MELROSE PLACE LAWSUIT, MICHAEL TYLO ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP

This week, when asked by fans in the live chat, if Tylo will write a follow-up book, Hunter shared, “Yes. I’ve always wanted to, because the first one, Making a Miracle, I didn’t even get to make up that title after I won with the lawsuit that I never got paid for again, like I don’t have $5 million everybody, so I don’t even think about it. That was just basically setting a precedent so women can’t be forced to have an abortion. So, the book was written by Simon and Schuster by an assigned author.”

Hunter went on to say, “And the guy was a ‘Churchian’ person who wrote it from his angle of his understanding, and he modified a lot of stuff. He candy-coded a lot of stuff, and he completely left out stuff that was about my husband that I think a lot of women need to know. They need to know what are the signs if you’re in a coercive or an abusive relationship. I would like to write it with all the truth this time, and even talk about what I went through in real-life with my family and losing a brother and then getting my stuff together, getting my life together, and just finding truth.”

DECISION TO NOT RETURN AS TAYLOR HAYES 

Fans of The Bold and the Beautiful remember Tylo as the original Dr. Taylor Hayes back in 1990, and she had played the role on and off for several decades. Then in 2021, Krista Allen took over the role till 2023, and then in 2024, Rebecca Budig took over the part.

However, there has been some rumors as to why Hunter decided not to return in 2021, she finally decided to come forward with her version of the story. “I’ve wanted to come back and talk to my fans for a long time,” she explained. Tylo shares she told the B&B brass, she did not want to come back to the show at that time, and “They said, ‘Well, if you don’t, then we are going to recast you.’ I said, ‘Okay, all right.’”

As it turned out, Hunter and Krista Allen shared the same talent manager and they were both friends. On Allen being cast as Taylor, Hunter remarked, “I don’t know if they thought that might make me mad. But it didn’t.”

TAYLOR VS. BROOKE

The popular actress did explain that her perspective came from that working on the show, and in soaps, it wasn’t always fun for her, elaborating, “You are nonstop expected to cry. You are in constant trauma when you’re doing these shows. You literally live end up living two lives and it’s very very stressful.”

Working in the genre, Tylo eventually shared that she did not like the repetitive storylines and “triangulations” as she called it for love triangles, adding, ‘All I do is cry, scream, yell, slap people across the face, wish them dead, say I hate your guts to people, shove them over a balcony, mow them down the car.” Hunter said she wanted to be a part of more positive stories as these did not align with who she is and her beliefs.

In addition, Hunter did bring up how she would be pitted against the Brooke Logan camp and actress Katherine Kelly Lang, by the fans online and that the discussions would inevitably dissolve into both factions hurling insults at each other and ultimately in insulting and hurting Hunter’s feelings in the process.

Tylo also talked about shared a story from 2015’s POP TV reality series, Queens of Drama in which she starred alongside, Knots Landing and GH Daytime Emmy winner, Donna Mills (ex-Abby, ex-Madeline, respectively). “So they tell us that we are going to be talking about which one of you has the best idea to pitch to the new network for the ultimate in soap opera, a new one,” she explains as the concept. “Like, you might be now the one that pitched the next new Dynasty or the next new Dallas or the next, Flamingo Road or whatever.”

Hunter went to explain the younger girls in the cast were pitted against Donna Mills and her as the older women in the cast for the purposes of the storyline arc. However, she then explains the producers asked to film at her house and wanted to know what kind of events go on there that they could film? Tylo explained,”Well, I am a believer. So, you know, sometimes we sit at home instead of going to church and we read scripture out loud.” And so they’re like,”Can we come film that?” I said, ‘Wow. Cool! Really? Alright.” I thought that could be a positive role model moment. But then, I started getting pages in my email that I start opening and going, “Huh? So they’re now going to direct me in what we’re going to talk about in a Bible study? We’re going be talking about being Born Again, just all these trite words, etc?”

If fans recall, Tylo ended up abruptly leaving the reality show, when during filming, she fell to the ground and shared that she felt she had dislocated her hips and her shoulder. You can check out Donna Mills talking with none other than Cameron Mathison (Drew, GH) on ET about the mishap and Tylo’s mysterious exit below.
