The Bold and the Beautiful’s Maya (Karla Mosley) has gotten an on-screen younger sister in the form of actress Reign Edwards, who started work today on the CBS Daytime soap opera! And today also happens to be the 18th birthday for the actress … what a great way to celebrate!
Reign plays the contract role of Nicole Avant, and will debut sometime in January!
According to a chit chat with Soap Opera Digest, Reign revealed this about the character of Nicole: “I think Nicole is going to bring something pretty cool to the table for everybody. She’s Maya’s little sister, so they’re going to have some similarities but they’ll also have their differences, too. You’ll really get to see that.”
So will Reign be a little troublemaker like her big sis Maya? How will she play into the current storylines on the canvas? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!
For me, a Maya is enough !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m no fan of her big sis, but if she had plenty of differences from Maya, I could come to like her. We’ll see.
Put her in a love triangle with Ally and Oliver…i read a lot of BBs fans love triangles…lol
Oh yeah, because 3 years of the Hope/Liam/Steffy madness and a year and half of Hope/Liam/Wyatt isn’t nearly enough to satisfy us. Especially since decades of Brooke/Ridge/Taylor didn’t precede the kiddie squad. Good lord, enough with the love triangles! But that seems like all Brad Bell knows what to write about.
I see her being put in Aly’s orbit and she might cause some trouble for Caroline (to help her big sister).
B&B put out a casting call for what sounded like RJ Forrester, so either they will pair them up, or this sounds like a rival for Aly, so we’ll be seeing a Nicole/Oliver/Aly triangle….she’s very pretty!!!!! uggh guess this means Maya is sticking around…..they need to get rid of her and bring back Kimberly Fairchild or Amber!!! I loved Rick and Kimberly back in the day!!!!!
Well if Maya is in the Rick/Caroline age bracket, then Nicole is in the Aly/Oliver/Ivy/Liam/Wyatt bracket.
With Hope supposedly exiting the series, it could be a Aly/Oliver diversion and then later a new direction for Wyatt or Liam.
Hoping she’s trouble. We need a good new young villainess to stir it up. And I am glad Maya’s family will be explored and expanded. She’s got a checkered past and I’m glad they are allowing cast members of color to grow beyond the token role and be real and vibrant (not always sainted or sexless) characters. Y&R has been better at this for years, but B&B I don’t think has ever been able to get it right before.
I was hoping for less Maya, not more and not her family. I wish they had explored more with her ex, but that turned up to be a big dud.
Yes! I agree! Why would they hire Ricky Paul Goldin, a great actor with a past on daytime, as Maya’s ex for only two or three episodes?! They should have factored him in to current stories and kept him around. Terrible wasted opportunity.
Yes, this is exactly what we need, another Avant. Seriously, I don’t know when Maya became such a gold digger, but I’ve just about had it with her. I really hope her sister isn’t like her at all, or at least a milder version of her.
But to be honest, the last thing B&B needs right now is a new character, especially when Thorne, Taylor, Steffy, Thomas, Bridget, Nick, Jackie, Owen, and many others are on the sidelines. I would take the Marones back over Maya and her sister any day.
I soooooo agree Jimmy. They should be using core characters more including a new Hope, not a new character connected to Maya who needs to shut up! The show is only a half hour. Don’t need so see more Maya/sister scenes, LOL
Looking forward to seeing this beautiful young lady in her BB debut, hopefully she’s given some good material to work with. She might not have a fair shot, as you can tell by some of the comments, no matter what type of material they give her.
Good point Penny. It all depends on the material she is given. I do agree with the other comments, I have had enough of My a, but I am looking forward to her sister checking in.
I want to see Maya and her sister, this is a good thing to see more young diverse characters on the show It’s set in LA for goodness sakes.
Totally agree! A lot of those comments sound personal, almost as if they don’t understand someone is writing Maya the actresses material.
let hope go(should’ve been gone long ago!) I agree bring back the marones! funny how quin’s character gets to stay after crime incidents with liam and ivy had that been a diverse character they would have been gone by now!! ridge talks smack about maya but he’s done more bed hopping than a rabbit on crack!! hope they don’t make nicole’s character from only down and out begginings like dayzee and maya!! where’s marcus and justin? and steffie? c’mon writers! !!!
While Finn (Tanner Novlan) is unaware that his wife Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is pregnant and that she is supposedly carrying Carter Walton’s (Lawrence Saint-Victor) child on The Bold and the Beautiful, Tanner Novlan is keeping busy, not only on the CBS soap, but in an upcoming new feature for the streamer Roku entitled Cowboy Hearts.
Laguna Beach star Kristen Cavallari is the lead opposite Novlan. The log lines of the story tease, “When a no-nonsense reality TV producer (Cavallari) is sent to Georgia to oversee the reboot of the hit dating show ‘Cowboy Hearts,’ she expects chaos behind the scenes, not romantic sparks with the cowboy himself (Novlan). Now, with the cameras rolling and her job on the line, she’ll have to decide if love is worth going off script.”
Taking to his Instagram to confirm his casting, Tanner Novlan shared, “Cowboy Hearts coming to @therokuchannel early ‘27!” The caption was posted alongside two photos of Tanner in the film wearing a cowboy hat, and a video with Tanner shirtless in said cowboy hat, but riding a horse. Tanner’s wife, former B&B actress, Kayla Ewell (ex-Caitlin Ramirez) joked in the comment thread, “Can you bring the cowboy hat home?”

KRISTEN CAVALLARI RETURNS TO ACTING AFTER 15 YEARS
Cavallari also recently starred as herself in an episode of ABC’s 9-1-1: Nashville, but Cowboy Hearts marks her first acting role in 15 years since she appeared in an episode of ABC comedy series, The Middle. Earlier in her career, Kristen appeared in the Laguna Beach spinoff, The Hills (as herself), plus episodes of Veronica Mars and CSI: NY.
The partnership of Roku and Cavallari comes from her having the biggest unscripted launch ever on the Roku platform with The Reunion: Laguna Beach. Now, Cowboy Hearts will launch sometime next year with Cavallari saying in a statement to Deadline, “I’m so excited to be stepping back into acting and getting to do something completely different with a rom-com. After such a great experience working with Roku on The Reunion: Laguna Beach, it feels especially exciting to be working with their team again — but this time for a scripted film. I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
MORE THAN JUST BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL
As for Tanner Novlan, he has been playing Dr. John Finn Finnegan since July of 2020 on the CBS daytime drama series. He’s also well known for his role as the bad actor/ spokesperson in the Liberty Biberty commercial spots for Liberty Mutual, and his recurring role on Roswell, New Mexico.
Novlan is no stranger as a leading man in rom-coms, too. He previously appeared in 2019’s My Best Friend’s Christmas, 2022’s Christmas Class Reunion, and 2024’s Debbie Macomber’s Joyful Mrs. Miracle.
So, intrigued to see Tanner in Cowboy Hearts when it comes out next year? On B&B, do you think Finn is really the baby-daddy to Steffy’s unborn baby that will be revealed later down the road? Let us know via the comment section.

Longtime General Hospital favorite, Kelly Monaco (ex-Sam McCall), took to her Instagram on Tuesday, September 15 and shared that she is six months, seven days sober from alcohol. Monaco played Sam for 21 years on the ABC soap opera.
Accompanied by a screenshot from the I Am Sober app that tracks the progress of anyone struggling with or trying to not drink, Monaco wrote, “Now the whole 6/7 thing makes sense! #duces.”
Monaco has kept a very low profile since her final episode on General Hospital aired back on October 30, 2024, when Sam had a shocking heart attack and died. It was later revealed that Daytime Emmy nominee, Jeff Kober (ex-Cyrus Renault) injected Sam’s IV with a fatal dose of digitalis.

Jumping into the comment thread on Kelly announcing her sobriety were several of her former GH co-stars including Brandon Barash (ex-Johnny, GH) who shared, “Love this. Congrats! 👏👏👏,” Ingo Rademacher (ex-Jax, GH) who just posted the hands up and heart emojis, and Lexi Ainsworth (ex-Kristina, GH) who wrote, “So proud of you 👏 badass.”

DANCING WITH THE STARS BEGINS NEW SEASON; KELLY WAS THE SEASON ONE CHAMP
With this season’s Dancing with the Stars about to kick-off tonight, in which Kelly was the first-ever celebrity winner in season one and returned for an All-Star version, might we hear from her on her picks or thoughts on this year’s batch of contestants?
