Krista Allen Dropped at The Bold and the Beautiful
While Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Daytime Drama Series, Krista Allen (Taylor Hayes), was walking on the red carpet last night at the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards, earlier in the day the news had broke, that the reason viewers of CBS’s The Bold and the Beautiful had not seen her on-air, is that the show decided not to pick up the third year of her contract.
Allen told Deadline, that she was told back in October that her contract wouldn’t be renewed. Smart B&B viewers had noticed that she has not appeared in any episodes since November 8th. Given Eric Forrester’s (John McCook) failing health storyline, where her children Thomas (Matthew Atkinson) and Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) were greatly impacted, many were wondering where was Taylor?
Now the answers became clear: Krista was told the show opted out of her contract, but the events surrounding it didn’t initially add up to her. Allen expressed, “The craziest thing is right before I got dropped, I did the cast photo shoot, and then the next week they called and said, ‘We’re not going to keep your third year and thank you very much, you were wonderful and thank you, goodbye.’ And I was like, what?”’

Krista said it was very challenging for her to keep quiet about the whole situation: “I haven’t known what to say. And then when I got dropped, I was like, ‘oh, okay, is the show going to announce this?’ But they never did.”
When Allen checked out X (formerly Twitter) on December 10th, she realized it was the two-year anniversary of playing Taylor and many of her fans were posting messages to her about, but she didn’t know how to respond.

However, a source also told Deadline that Allen was offered to go recurring with the series, and turned that down. Krista’s rep shared that she had been offered three lines in an episode in late November, after “a couple of nothing months.”
No word yet if the role will be recast, but Allen shared that following the Daytime Emmys, she was moving to Atlanta, Georgia and out of Hollywood. nterestingly, Krista’s former leading man, Thorsten Kaye (Ridge Forrester), took home the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series
What do you think of Krista confirming her exit from B&B? Share your thoughts on the situation via the comment section below.
I called this happening when she was cast, simply because it is Bradley Bell’s M.O. He hires you, uses you, demotes you (a.k.a. fires you) and then you’re OUT! She deserved more than a phone call saying “We’re not renewing you. Goodbye.” She’ll either return to Days of Our Lives as Billie, or go somewhere else. Maybe Josh Griffith will get inspired for 2.5 seconds and bring Taylor to Genoa City? Doubt it, LOL!
All I can say is the woman is pure class I heard what she said about Eddy winning the Emmy!! She was a breath of fresh air on that gosh awful show and she will do fine in the future.
Krista is fabulous and that show is so dumb for not keeping her.
The same thing that was done to Gina Tognoni. She got royally screwed over. In Mt opinion she did a great job as Taylor.
She played Phyllis on Y&R, was fabulous
How many times is this show going to hire actors and actresses, use them for awhile, then stop writing for them when Bill Bell gets bored and has to go back to Ridge and Brooke?
Krista Allen brought new life and fun to the character of Taylor and should have had a major story.
It’s really too bad BB is so short sighted and let this talented lady go.
I’ve been watching this show since day one and I think I’ve finally seen the writing on the wall and this show isn’t worth my time anymore.
Luke and Laura, the iconic soap super couple, broke up and went on to successful relationships that the fans supported. Ridge and Brooke can do the same and should have years ago.
I agree, there is more time to do other things than watch a show that keeps doing the same characters with these actors. Ridge with Brooke and Liam going after Steffy same old stuff. What are scared to do anything new? I am gree with you Shari, this show isn’t worth our time.
Amen!!! I am so sick of Ridge and Brooke. The two make me so frustrated. It’s the same fricken story over and over again for the last 25 years!! I have watched since day one and couldn’t be more bored with the primo couple!!
I’m so glad that Luna has made an appearance. It’s nice to see a splash of color. BB is so pasty white!
They recast Thorne with Ingo and did nothing with him so this doesn’t surprise me but it’s a huge disappointment. They’ll go back to Hope/Liam/Steffy/Thomas and tell one story at a time.
Wow, how awful, she was awesome, how dumb is Bradley Bell?
Word is (on X) that KKL (Brooke) made a big stink about KA getting too much of a storyline. Because of that, KKL went to Brad Bell and bitched about it. That ultimately lead to Krista being let go from the show. I was so blindsided by this news. I’m officially done with Bold and will no longer watch the show. I’ve also unfollowed any cast members, producers, writers and the show’s twitter handles on the social media platform. The only one that I will continue to follow is Krista.
It’s not surprising. Bradley Bell has only known how to write for Steffy, Liam & Hope for years. I stopped following the soap because it got so bad.
How can we imagine for a single moment that Kristen, Felicia & Rick are not near their father? Jacob W Young criticized the soap when he left and Tracy Lindsay Melchior is doing the same today. I agree with them. The characters leave without any explanation. Rick is the best example as he is the son of the two main characters.
Katie & Bill are still around only appearing in fifty episodes a year and counting.
The Sheila/Deacon couple doesn’t work. It would have been more interesting to see Deacon with Taylor.
Finn, Carter, Luna, Katie, Donna… have no charisma and are boring as hell.
The soap completely lost its splendor with the successive departures of Darlen Conley, Ronn Moss, Susan Flannery & Jacob W Young. The new Steffy/Hope rivalry never lived up to Taylor/Brooke. Liam is the worst character in B&B history and contributes to fans’ disenchantment.
It’s a real waste as the soap was so good in the 80s/90s.
Great news! Cannot act very well. How she got nominated is beyond me.
I have lost the glow of it all,all the actors and actresses have lost the spark.Its time to get some new people or quit the show.
As many have said, this no surprise from this show. They hit gold with how the fans accepted her so positively in the role. The added bonus was how well she worked social media and gained a lot of followers from the show, Her positivity was so great to see and she worked like an old school soap star. The next big name should have it written into their contract that they must have and exit scene. They should also realize they might get a good year but that’s about it.
That’s messed up. They told her thankyou but the Taylor is not needed. What a slap in the face to Krista Allen. She Is so talented. Hopefully GH or Days or even Y&R hire her then B&B can see what a gem they lost. Messed up!! I’ll miss Taylor.
It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
