The Bold and the Beautiful is continuing to expand the on-screen family of Melissa Dylan played by Sydney Bullock. Now comes casting news that none other than two-time Daytime Emmy nominee Kelly Sullivan has been tapped to play Dylan’s mother, Darcy Dylan.

According to TV Insider, viewers can look for Sullivan’s B&B debut on the August 27 episode of the CBS daytime drama series. Sullivan has made quite the impression on soap opera fans in the past, so it will be intriguing to see just what Darcy Dylan is all about and how it has affected her daughter, who does not always seem on the up and up as she has set her sights on Will Spencer (Crew Morrow).

Kelly first appeared on the daytime scene as a recast for fashion editor, Kate Howard on General Hospital in 2011, after replacing Megan Ward in the role. However, she suffered from dissociative identity disorder and battled with her alter-ego, Connie Falconeri. Eventually in 2014, she was shot and killed by Ava Jerome (Maura West).

Next, Sullivan moved over to The Young and the Restless where she played Sage Warner from 2014-2016. In story, Sage was involved with both Adam and Nick Newman, then played by Justin Hartley and current long-running cast member, Joshua Morrow, respectively.

Sage was the biological mother to Adam’s son, Christian, and gave birth to him before she died, as part of an umbrella story involving Sharon (Sharon Case) and Dylan (Steve Burton) believing Christian was their child named “Sully” and the entire Adam/Nick saga of who is the real bio-dad to the child.

HOW WILL THE ARRIVAL OF DARCY DYLAN IMPACT MELISSA DYLAN?

The casting of Sullivan comes after it was revealed back in May that Remy Pryce was returning to the canvas, and Christian Weissman was on contract with the soap opera. In recent months, it was revealed that Remy is a cousin of Dylan’s.

Taking to her Instagram after the casting news broke on Thursday, Kelly shared her enthusiasm at her new soap gig and gave a shout out to her new boss, the executive producer and head writer of B&B, Brad Bell.

Kelly wrote, “I’m very excited to join the The Bold and the Beautiful family and bring this force of nature to life. Thank you Brad Bell, for this amazing character. I can’t wait to step into Darcy’s boots.”

When not acting, Sullivan has become an accomplished acting teacher. Kelly’s other previous credits include: The Morning Show, Never Have I Ever, The Winchesters, Chicago P.D. and many more. Kelly is also featured in the upcoming film Ethan Almighty: Ethan’s Law, with a cast that includes: Kelsey Grammer, Brandon Routh (ex-Seth Anderson, One Life to Live) and Trevor Donovan (ex-Jeremy Horton, Days of our Lives).

Sullivan was previously nominated for a Daytime Emmy for her role on General Hospital  in 2014 and The Young and the Restless in 2016.

So, what do you think of Kelly Sullivan being cast as Dylan’s mom? Do you think she will be a fine upstanding person or a bad girl? Will Darcy arrive with intentions to land one of the wealthy Forrester or Spencer men for herself? What do you think will happen? Weigh-in via the comment section.

This week on The Bold and the Beautiful, official spoilers for August 3-7, 2026, reveal that Electra (Laneya Grace) and Will (Crew Morrow) just can’t get past the machinations of everyone meddling with their lives and reach an impasse.

In addition, with Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) trying to gain access to her grandson Hayes and her son, Finn (Tanner Novlan), Steffy has already told her husband that his mother groveled to her knees in front of her pleading with her for another chance.

This week on all-new episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful, viewers will learn the upshot of the relationship between Will (Crew Morrow) and Electra (Laneya Grace) and Will and Dylan (Sydney Bullock). Last Friday’s cliffhanger saw Will giving in to Dylan’s seduction as she tries to “comfort” him from his latest break-up with Electra, thanks to the Forresters, no less.

Now in The Bold and the Beautiful video spoilers for the week of July 27-31, Dylan wakes up next to Will on the couch and she says, “Good morning.” But what actually happened? Did they have sex? According to the official B&B spoilers below, Electra will draw a firm line over Dylan’s relationship with Will.

Meanwhile, Sheila (Kimberlin Brown) is becoming more obsessed with trying to process why Steffy (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is blocking her from being in her son and grandson’s life. Clearly, she’s not remembering all the terror she brought to Steffy. But by the end of the week, will Finn (Tanner Novlan) have once again softened towards his mother as much as he told Steffy he would stand firm and keep her away from their family?
