THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: What's Up With Maya's Baby Sis Nicole & The Secret That She Carries?
Courtesy/CBS
Nicole Avant (Reign Edwards) recently showed up in town and moved right into the Forrester Mansion with Rick (Jacob Young) and her sister Maya (Karla Mosley).
Now, Maya is doing everything she can do to clearly get the girl out of the house and away from her and Rick … but why? Looks like we may get some answers, or begin to, next week on upcoming episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful! In this new CBS Daytime promo, it teases that Nicole holds a secret, and it clearly is something she is about to hold over Maya’s head.
So, why do you think Nicole came to LA? Does she want to become part of the high fashion world and move and shake with people who have plenty of dollars? Is Maya and Nicole’s relationship not what it may seem?
Watch the promo after the jump, and then share your thoughts! What do you think is the secret that Nicole has about Maya?
I had no idea, then it just popped into my head – what if lil’ sis isn’t lil’ sis but daughter? Looked up the age of the actress who plays Maya; she’s 33. It’s a slight stretch, but it could be, especially if she’s playing just a little older. And how old is lil’ sis supposed to be? 18? That would mean Maya was 15 when “sis” was born; happens every day.
Good one!
Thinking the same.
Maya needs to go bye bye.
I agree!
I agree and Maya should just tell Rick the truth. he already knows Maya was in Jail and lost a baby anyway. So what if she made mistakes . I would hate t see her fall. She won Rick, Caroline stole him back and she won him back while making something out of a tuff time. There are no other women of color in the show in a high power position what’s wrong with it being Maya. Again Rick is the one picking on his staff Maya did not ask for that foot rub.
I racked my brain all night thinking what secret could Maya have that would shock Rick? Rick Forrester whose family has seen/done it all. What could shock him & for some reason I thought like at 3 a.m., Maya is a guy! Or was. My mother called me today after the show screaming (I was at work & had not seen the show yet) She said you won’t believe the secret-have never seen it on a soap before-I said DO NOT TELL ME, then I said Maya is a guy but she hung up, ha. I saw it later tonight & had a fit, screaming, I mean, Myron, my brother! OMG. This is over the top!
Wow!!! I am loving Nicole on the show. She is mouthy and puts Maya in her place. I bet she is Maya’s
daughter and not her little sister. I hope she stays on the show and compete with her mother for the lead model position
Oh I would love it. I think Maya is beautiful but I am so sick of her & her attitude. She & Rick make it sound like Caroline & Ridge are to blame but really it was two kisses what about her constantly putting Caroline down to Rick & planning her little escapade in the steam-room with Rick?
No one ever explains how Maya had a baby before she went to prison!! If she’s transgender then did she adopt the baby she gave up!
No one cares who she is more then likely Maya’s daughter! Another waste of money we could have good solid actors back on this show with history and we get stuck with this!
I think this is the twist the Rick/Maya in the Manor story needs.
I do too! IMO it’s much more interesting than a boozy Brooke, a useless Gwen/Deacon, a washed up Ridge and silly Caroline and most definitely the annoying Ivy who needs to go back to wherever she came from.
I agree.This girl is just what the show needed & it’s perfect the way it is. She is perfect for the role as well and plays it great.
I think Nicole might be Mya sister she may have had as a very early teen, I know Mya had a kid she lost while in jail but she could have had her first child at 13, 14, 15 but was raise as her sister instead of her daughter just a thought.
I think baby sis, is really Maya’s daughter! My theory is Maya had her when she was maybe 14 or 15 and the family pretend that Maya’s mother gave birth to her. That would explain why there seems to be so much tension between Maya and her parents and it sounds like they had issues long before Maya went to prison.
Could it be they have the same daddy? Father/stepfather molested Maya, gets pregnant with Nicole?
My guess the boyfriend that sent her to jail was pimping her out as a prostitute before she did time.
Or maybe married & divorced before?
I agree. I thought that maybe the ex boyfriend had her prostituting. Or maybe had her doing nude modeling which is why Nicole is so impressed with Maya’s fashion modeling career.
I thought that Maya had a baby lkng ago and gave it up. Does Rick know this
She did have a little girl was put in foster home, Maya thought she would get her back when she was found innocent and got out of jail. A couple had just adopted her and was in a car accident , the little girl died.
That sounds right, and she told rick that so does the girl think Maya didn’t tell rick that
Well my top three choices would be she was either a hooker, in a porn movie, or married to some low life she never divorced—-or maybe all three– LOL.
She’s Maya’s daughter-duh!!!
Maya is Nicoles Brother…
LMAO, she is he, they asr sister and brother, who ever saw this coming was right!
I don’t think she knows Maya’s secret. I think it’s a bluff, and I hope Maya doesn’t fall for it.
Could Maya possibly be Nicole’s mother? Maya could have become pregnant with her as a young teen, and had her parents raise the baby. Most likely, Nicole just found out this news and is hellbent to make Maya pay.
Mya is really MYRON………….lol.
Maybe Maya was on the stroll?
I think she may be Maya’s daughter.
I think Nicole is Maya’s daughter!!!!!!!!
Well since all of B&B women always end up victims, needy, or weak, I’m guessing prostitution.
I thought it would be contemporary and cool if it turned out that Maya was actually born male and went through gender reassignment surgery years ago–and there was no baby. Rick has fallen in love with a transgendered woman–and it won’t matter. What WILL matter is that Forrester’s lead model was born a man and is involved with the CEO. A chance to EDUCATE the characters AND viewers about what it means to be transgendered and to be involved with someone trans. The “sister-as-secret-daughter” or “Maya used to be a hooker” things, while understandable to guess as soap viewers, are kinda tired and trite for the 21st century. Let’s think about the world TODAY…!
No offense…if you want education…turn to PBS. Soaps have never been a reliable form of “education” but at least some of them used to try, often with ground breaking and award winning results. Think of GH the Claire Labine era. But Bold and the Beautiful, of all the soaps, is just campy fluff and on its brief sojourns into anything socially relevant, it is most often presented as a special episode, plays like an after school special, and then Brooke goes back to sleeping with everyone. Thats the formula that has apparently worked for this show for 28 years. Tossing in a transgender just for the sake of it would reek of stunting…and would be filled with stilted wooden dialogue…fairy tale and rainbows aceptance by everyone…and a lot of bad acting. No thanks!
I agree although I’m not opposed to a Transgender in the soaps , its long overdue. I would prefer to have it known from the Start so the person would have there own ID and style. If Maya is destroyed this way then so is a Transgender person due to haters. Let there be a Ru Paul/ Transgender like person on the show and more women of color as it could be good for F.C under Rick and Maya’s term in office and good period
That would be a mind blowing.
I was thinking the same. Maya a man.
That’s exactly what I’m thinking! None of the other reasons are that threatening to her relationship/status.
I hope that’s not the case the stories are already weak and boring we really don’t need that shoved down our throats like they tried to do on the guiding light or as the world turns. TV really has gone too far
Please watch today’s episode!
Well unfortunately they decided to take to low road and go with the Mya is a Man story line.
Not really feeling this storyline yet. Would love to see Aly or any other member of Maya’s Fan Club find out the secret and use it before Nicole has a chance to, LOL! Just hope this secret and the storyline is somewhat fresh and original instead of the same old/same old.
I can’t stand her….so many people have been saying she’s Maya’s daughter….a little stretch age wise but nothing soaps haven’t done before…..& maybe it was the circumstances that she was conceived that made Maya leave….
Yeah, Nicole is Maya’s child.
DIDNT NEED ANOTHER NEW ACTOR ON THE SHOW…ENOUGH OF MIA AND RICK…LETS GET SOME OF THE REAL ACTORS BACK AND SOME FRESH STORYLINES,
There ain’t nothing fresh about Brooke. LOL.
I like Nicole – she’s cool!
Loved the dance she did to that song my Sherlock Tones. You go girl!
I doubt Rick would care that Maya had a kid when she was younger unless the circumstances/father were sketchy.
Glad to see there is someone who can bring Maya to heel.
yeah, because this story isn’t ludicrous enough already. Even by B&B standards.
Who cares….she needs to change her tone with maya…or maya should put her ungrateful behind out…
I agree with you. I would also just tell Rick and take my chances before Nicole does. If Mays goes down so should Nicole. I thought Maya was a bad girl Nicole is rotten.
I think that is Maya daughter.
I was a fan of Mya and Rick re-connecting ever since Caroline broke them up but now I’m soooo tired of them. I do like them together but can’t the writers send them on a vacation?
I agree with you and unless I missed something Maya is just happy to be happy it’s rick who continues to be nasty to others.
If Nicole is Maya’s daughter, then she’s aged awfully fast, as Maya stated she lost her daughter in an accident a couple years before she met Rick. I don’t think she’s her daughter; I think she is her sister, but there’s something that Maya is hiding. My first thought was that Maya was born a male and is transgendered. Wouldn’t that be a kick to actually have on air in a soap!
wolfy
Storyline-wise and all, I’m kinda thrilled by this. I mean…for once, this seems to be a storyline that DOES N-O-T involve that needy and man-hungry Brooke…L-O-L!!!!! I’m just saying……….
Im Maya has done some porn in her past….
I think Nicole is maya daughter. Maya looks like a mother to Nicole.
I think that she is Mia’s daughter. I think she lied to Rick about her daughter dying and instead left the child with her parents to raise and they raised her. Can’t wait to find out.
I thought the same ever since Nicole showed up on the show I felt she was Mayas daughter. Also feel there was family abuse going on and Maya went to prison for murder and not what she told Rick.
My first thought was that Maya was born male. I don’t think Maya having a baby at a young age would make Rick not forgive her. It has to be something bigger than that. I think the story she told about losing her baby was a rouse to help cover up her true identity.
That was my thought too. She’s transsexual. Bring awareness to the issue.
I don’t think Nicole is Maya’s daughter.
Maya is supposed to be mid-late 20’s. She came on the show having given up a baby who was killed in an accident.
Nicole is in college, so that would put her at 19-20 at least.
No matter how you stretch it, the mother/daughter thing doesn’t work.
That being said, and knowing how ridiculous the soaps can be and how far they try to push the envelope, they will probably try to sell that load of crap and expect us to buy it. Ain’t happening for me!
Todays episode said Nicole wasn’t an UCLA student she was taking extension Scorsese but dropped out, she came to Maya for an answer and I feel she wants to know how her mother could leave her in a cruel family instead of taking her with to raise her ina better environment so now she’s going to make her mother/Maya pay for the wrong choice she made.there are girls as young as 12 years old getting pant. I think Maya murdered her rapest, went to prison and fled when she got out leaving her daughter/Nicole behide.
I am watching this show right now I am at the part where Nicole sad she wanted to be a model what happens next
I like the program and why doesn’t Rick know that Caroline set up Maya in those steamy acting scenes
I agree with many of you. I can’t stand Nicole. Other than this so called secret, she doesn’t bring anything to the show. She can’t act. As far as Brooke, i am so sick of the Drama Queen. She can’t be alone! Give me a break. She’s been with every man on the show and has kids and sisters that love her. That’s more than most people. Enough of poor Brooke! And I am so sick of Rick and Maya kissing and making out every minute. What time does he have to be CEO? What time do they have to run the company when they are either in bed or she’s on his lap. Can’t the writers make them at least seem professional? I do hope Caroline and Ridge stay together. They make a great couple and they do work once in a while. I can go on and on about everyone but getting back to this big secret. I just have a feeling that this secret isn’t that big a deal but it’s keeping everyone watching the show. I just hope the writers make this secret worth all the hipe it’s getting and they don’ let us down.
If you recall Mya was with Rick first. Caroline stepped in. Her past is her past. It’s a reason why Mya parents raised Nicole as their daughter. But at this point Mya should tell Rick. His family same way look at Brooke and her daughter
Hi everyone, I think that Nicole is Maya’s daughter. Maya’s parents raised her as a sibling.
Yes, I also believe that Maya is Nicole’s mom, but the transgender storyline is a better and new age one. I’m 55 and when Erica Kane on all my children had an abortion, I learned a lot then, too.
I think Nicole is Maya’s daughter good story line!!
I’m anxious to know what everyone thought of today’s story. All I could think of was Bruce Jenner!!!
I don’t think I’m gonna like where this is going why not turn that weak lawyer of the foresters into a bisexual person
How is Mya a man she had a baby????
She was very young and before she had the surgery for the sex change.
OMG!!!!! Miya. Really Marion born the little sisters brother?????
I think going transgender is going to far. What’s wrong with making rick and Maya a power couple. Educate the world on accepting modern biracial couple first and then you can work on transgender relationships.
I agree
I agree with you see my comments above . There is plenty of room for a Transgender story without destroying Maya and Rick also making it worse for transgender people. Let them be a power couple because its rare to see on TV . Glad to see more real life issues that people can relate too instead of watching wealthy people screw up while the rest of us wish we had it so good.
Biracial is very common now a days this is not. Just look at the numbers they expect to tune into Jenner’s surgery!
Really, really writers! You could have at least picked someone who looked a little less like a shapely woman! I’ve seen transgenders and they do not look like maya. My sister and I watch the show and after that came out we both laughed our you know what off. I called her and we laughed for the first minute of our conversation! This is ridiculous!!!
Mia was a man!
OMG I just finished watching it today and there is no way in Heaven or hell I would have guessed this. I just laughed & laughed YUCK so Rick’s been making out with a male turned female and so did Carter.
Well today’s show said Maya was born a man. Myran!
Wow now that’s something to keep from
Rick! Question is that is true how did
She have a baby???
Maya is a man, oh my god! Definitely didn’t expect that!
Not Mya but Myron whoa!
Apparently Maya is Myron, her brother -not sister. Obviously she had a sex change! Can’t wait to see Rick’s reaction to that-what a story line! What next! Sure exciting lately!
I guess the secrets out….
B&B is thinking outside the box with a box!
It was revealed that Maya was born a man, but how do they then explain she had a baby? Can transgender male to female have children? I do not think so.
I hope lil sis got her facts wrong and Maya is not her brother. Maybe Maya left home due to rape or incest.

Beyond the Gates
‘Beyond the Gates’ Emmy Winner Ambyr Michelle Wants to Compete on ‘Dancing with the Stars’: ‘Pick Me’ (Exclusive)
Soap opera fans are always clamoring for when Dancing with the Stars reveals their cast each season, that they would include a familiar face from daytime drama, but it rarely happens, if ever, anymore.
Over the last several years, the series has leaned heavily into casting celebrities with massive TikTok or Instagram followers, which in turn, have helped this season and last have their best ratings numbers in years.
But, how about for next season’s cast of Dancing with the Stars, that it could include newly-awarded Daytime Emmy winner, Ambyr Michelle (Eva Thomas) of Beyond the Gates?

LOVE OF DANCE TO LOVE OF ACTING
Michael Fairman TV spoke to Michelle about her dance background and if she would love a shot at lifting the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy during Wednesday’s November 11, livestream chat on the Michael Fairman Channel.
Ambyr explained to fans (who joined in on the live chat), how she began her show business career. “I started off as a dancer, first and foremost. Acting wasn’t really something I wanted to go after. I did plays when I was younger, but it was just something we did in school, but I really wanted to be a dancer. I moved out to LA to dance, and I fell out of love with dance, which was so weird.”
This year’s Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series winner, added, “I was like, ‘What is going on?’ I moved all the way out here for dance. I found I was forcing myself to go to dance class, and I just didn’t have the passion for it. I was working at this restaurant at the time, and one of my coworker was like, ‘What about taking an acting class out here?'”
Next, Ambyr took the coworker up on the idea. “So, I took an acting class and I fell in love with it that day,” shared Michelle. “I was like, ‘I want to do this for the rest of my life.’ I thought, I would love to book a role, of course, as a dancer, but I think acting has a little bit more longevity.”

A SHOT AT THE LEN GOODMAN MIRRORBALL TROPHY
When the talked turned to if Ambyr would consider or be interested in appearing on the ballroom dance competition series, she piped up with, “I would love to do Dancing with the Stars! Pick me!”
As those in the live chat rallied around this idea, it made us think, Ambyr could be the first contestant from Beyond the Gates, and someone representing the soaps. It checks off so many boxes! To which Ambyr replied, “That would be beautiful.”
You can check out the full conversation with Ambyr below.
So, what do you think soap fans? Can we make sure Ambyr’s name gets in front of the producers and casting director for next season’s Dancing with the Stars? Would you like to see her in the competition? If so, who would be your dream pro professional dance partner for her? Let us know in the comment section.
