Taylor Hayes is a fictional character from the American CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. The character was created by William J. Bell and originated by Hunter Tylo during the episode dated June 6, 1990. Tylo exited the series in 1994 but returned several months later. She exited again in 1996 after being cast on Melrose Place, but returned shortly after being fired from that show for being pregnant. After Tylo grew dissatisfied with her character's direction and agreed with executive producer Bradley Bell that Taylor was "played out", the character was subsequently killed off and last appeared in October 2002. Tylo reprised Taylor as a ghost in 2004 before returning as a regular in April 2005, with the character revealed to be alive. Tylo exited The Bold and the Beautiful again in July 2013, but returned for guest appearances in 2014. She returned again from April 2018 to March 2019 on a recurring basis. The character was later recast with Krista Allen, who appeared as Taylor from December 2021 to November 2023.

Described as a world-renowned psychiatrist, Taylor was introduced to facilitate social issues and act as a romantic lead. In her early years, Taylor was characterized as "no-nonsense" and the "good girl" of the show. Most of her history has revolved around her relationship with love interest

Whip Jones. The character relocated to Paris after a brief relationship with Ridge's father Eric. Upon her 2018 return, she was revealed as Bill Spencer Jr.
's shooter. From 2022 to 2023, Taylor shared a reunion with Ridge, which sparked a further rivalry with Brooke.

Taylor has been described as iconic by Entertainment Weekly, and Tylo emerged as a fan favorite in the 1990s. Ridge and Taylor are considered a soap opera supercouple, while the rivalry between Brooke and Taylor has generated considerable fan attention and divided audience opinions.

Casting and creation

Hunter Tylo originated the role of Taylor, portraying the character for three decades; from 1990 until her departure in 2019.

Show creator

Spelling Productions for millions of US dollars, and won her case.[12] It was immediately reported that she would return to The Bold and the Beautiful, with head writer and executive producer Bradley Bell issuing the statement: "I am certain that Hunter's talent and ability will continue to be an asset to the show."[11]

In October 2001, reports surfaced that Tylo was to exit the series again following unsuccessful contract negotiations,

Macy Alexander (Bobbie Eakes) or Taylor would be returning.[19] Taylor was revealed to be alive, with Tylo returning on-screen during the April 25, 2005, episode.[20] She was said to be "having fun surprising her castmates" with her reappearance on set.[19] The show's producers wanted to keep her on-screen return a secret, with Tylo wearing a wig when travelling to the set, and the character's name being changed on scripts.[19]

In May 2013, Tylo announced online that she was exiting the soap, possibly for good.

May sweeps story arc which revisited Taylor's accidental killing of Darla years earlier, with Darla's now teen daughter Aly (Ashlyn Pearce) struggling to deal with the issue of her mother's death.[26] Tylo appeared again on November 5, 12 and 24, 2014.[27] Tylo made a surprise return to The Bold and the Beautiful during the final moments of the April 12, 2018, episode. Tylo said her return was "so out of the blue" and revealed that it was kept secret: "They had me hidden away...I had a code name...They kept it quiet from everybody."[28]

Entertainment Weekly exclusively announced on October 27, 2021, that the role of Taylor has been recast with Krista Allen.[29] The series had reportedly reached out to Tylo to return, but she was unavailable.[30] Allen, who previously played Billie Reed on the soap opera Days of Our Lives, said: "If there was ever any type of role to come back to daytime with, it would be this one. I couldn’t have asked for a better role to step into — or bigger shoes to fill. I love a good challenge."[31] Allen wore a wig when auditioning for the role, explaining that she wanted to "lock in the look of Taylor Hayes as best I could", and prepared by watching Tylo's last episodes.[32] Allen began filming on October 28, 2021, and made her first appearance on December 10.[29] In an exclusive interview with Deadline Hollywood published on December 15, 2023, Allen revealed in October of the same year she was notified she had been dismissed from the role,[33] with her last appearance on the show being on November 10.[34]

Character development

Characterization

A promotional still of Taylor (Tylo) during her first episode in 1990.

Taylor is a globally renowned psychiatrist and works at the

Morgan DeWitt (Sarah G. Buxton), who becomes pregnant with his child.[18] She said: "I just wish that Taylor would get a clue, period! I wish that her psychiatric expertise would kick in already. I mean, she's retarded!", also observing that the character can be absentminded.[39]

In the years following Taylor's 2005 return, her storylines changed significantly. After Ridge leaves Taylor, she becomes depressed and struggles with alcoholism. Tylo explained how this affected the character: "The love of her life throws her away after she struggled so hard to come back to him. It was painful and humiliating. That made her more real and now, after everything she's been through, Taylor gets to be a little manipulative spiteful and even resentful."

tailspin: accidentally killing Darla Forrester (Schae Harrison) in a hit and run accident and lying about it, later being arrested for driving under the influence. Tylo confessed, "These were the kinds of stories I was begging for", as she thought "it was very believable".[38] The actress also wanted to portray Taylor as less "serious".[38]

Taylor often loses out to Brooke, as Thorne (Ridge's brother) loses out to Ridge.[41] When asked in 2011 where she would like her storyline to go, Tylo said: "I think we should see Thorne and Taylor get strong and stand up to these people who mowed them down."[41] In March 2012, Tylo said that Taylor is finally learning to pursue what she wants instead of always putting others first. She said, "In psychology, they tell you to be true to yourself. Maybe she is finally doing that, even though in her moral compass she knows that it is better to put other people first. She has been going after what she wants instead. It is a very good growing place for Taylor to go back to reality and realize that she is not perfect and that she needs to try not looking so perfect so much."[42]

Between 2014 and 2018, the character was off-screen, said to be living in Paris, where Tylo felt that she was "declining", noting: "I think with all she’s been through, she would probably have no choice but to deteriorate."[43] Reflecting on Taylor being revealed as Bill Spencer Jr.'s (Don Diamont) shooter, Tylo loved "the idea of a crazy psychiatrist", "I’ve always said that Taylor is the good doc who can’t take her medicine; that’s how I’ve always described her, and this story just gives her so many things to do."[43]

Relationships

Ridge Forrester

Rodney King riots in Los Angeles.[44]

The love triangle between Taylor, Ridge and Brooke continued into Ridge and Taylor's first marriage. When Brooke has Ridge's child, Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones), Taylor helps raise the baby[5] (although it was later revealed in 1996 that Bridget was fathered by Ridge's father Eric, not him).[47][48] Speaking on Ridge's decision to remain married to Taylor, Tylo said that the actors were "so sick of this triangle" and revealed: "One of the things Bradley's going to do is have Ridge pick Taylor over Brooke. For a change, instead of women breaking couples up or getting pregnant to trap a man, we're going to see how couples work through their problems."[5] After Taylor is presumed dead in a plane crash in 1994 only to return months later, Tylo felt that Taylor would be feeling "quite cheated" by Ridge marrying Brooke, and joked that "Taylor wasn't even cold yet".[8] Ridge and Taylor divorce, although soon become involved once more, and get back together when Ridge finds out that he fathered Taylor's son, Thomas Forrester (Adam Gregory).[49] Ridge and Taylor remarry on June 24, 1998.[50]

Despite Ridge and Taylor's remarriage, Brooke continues her attempts at winning Ridge back. Stephanie encourages Taylor to see Brooke's intent, with Tylo observing: "It was so obvious she was going after Ridge. How can you explain away that she always kept ending up in the elevator in her bra and underwear over and over again? Stephanie’s whole mission was to get Taylor to smell the coffee and [realize] that not everybody has as altruistic an agenda as she does."[42] Ridge and Taylor's twins, Stephanie ("Steffy") and Phoebe, are born in 1999. During the pregnancy Taylor experiences tuberculosis after interacting with a man who has it.[51][52] Her pregnancy becomes high risk and she refuses treatment to protect the babies.[53][54][55] Tylo said that this was "a great way to bring awareness about the disease and the threat it poses to pregnant women".[4]

When Taylor dies in 2002, supervising producer Rhonda Friedman noted that Ridge refuses to accept the "horrible reality", saying: "He begs Taylor to come back to him. He just doesn't want to let go of this woman who he has loved for so many years, someone he say himself growing old with." Devin Owens of Soap Opera Digest called Taylor Ridge's

Daytime Confidential's Jamey Giddens noted that Steffy and Thomas "grew up watching their daddy basically climb out of their mom's bed and right into the sack with Rick (Jacob Young) and Hope's (Kimberly Matula) mom, over and over again."[60]

Other relationships

Taylor has been romantically linked to Ridge's half-brother Thorne (Winsor Harmon) multiple times. They were briefly involved from 1997 to 1998, when Ridge is in jail and urges Taylor to forget about him.

Alexandria Forrester learning that Taylor killed Darla.[38] Of working with Tylo, Harmon said, "I am so comfortable with Hunter. We have that [comfort] around each other, and when that happens as an artist, you are allowed to open up more and there is more spontaneity."[41]

Thorne and Taylor later become involved again in 2011, when they team up against the Forresters for mistreating them. Tylo said: "[Taylor] probably equally feels that Thorne deserves to have a shot at Forrester in the driver's seat. Taylor does not like the way Brooke has been running everything through Ridge."[41] However, Tylo saw that there was a "sticky point" between them because of Darla, and noted that Taylor "would do anything to make up for that".[41] The actress said, "I think it's very cool that there is so much history behind the two characters. First of all, it does not seem like a sexually based relationship. So I think the audience can appreciate it and go, 'Wow. I can understand these two emotionally bonding,' and then let it grow into something that doesn't look forced."[41]

In 2008, Taylor becomes involved with Brooke's son, the much younger Rick Forrester (Kyle Lowder), who was previously in a relationship with Phoebe. Lowder described playing the storyline as "challenging" and one that "stirs the pot". It began after Tylo and Lowder were tested for chemistry in scenes.[64] When the news of Rick and Taylor becoming closer reaches Brooke and Ridge, they both protest against it; Tylo described this as "two pots calling the kettle black". Brooke accuses Taylor of being with Rick as a form of revenge against her, and enlists Phoebe's help in stopping the relationship. Tylo told Soap Opera Digest that Taylor's revenge is "a subconscious thing", explaining: "Taylor sort of feels like Brooke stole her child, so this is kind of retribution. Taylor is like, 'Well then I'll take your kid'." Phoebe accepts Rick and Taylor being together, wanting both of them to be happy and giving Taylor the "green light she was looking for".[65] Lowder believed that the tables were turning on Brooke, and said "now Brooke's son is in love with [Taylor], and she's in love with him – and it's legit (...) Taylor wins, Brooke loses – and Brooke's going crazy".[66] Rick and Taylor get engaged[67] but she ends the relationship due to her feelings for Ridge.[59]

Taylor becomes involved with

internet dating, in 2009. Tommy Garret of Canyon News said that Whip and Taylor's "chemistry is magnificent".[68] Whip was previously involved with Brooke; Garret wrote: "Now he's in love with Brooke's mortal enemy Taylor Hayes Forrester... Hearst is magnificently suited for the role and fans want to see Whip and Taylor find happiness. At least for a few months."[68] Of their romance, Tylo said: "I think Taylor has found true love with Whip. I think if she was a smart psychiatrist, and able to apply her knowledge in her own world, she would be with Whip. She would know this is a healthy relationship. But Taylor doesn’t see it. She still wants to fix people."[42] Taylor and Whip marry in April 2010.[69] Whip becomes jealous when Taylor admits to Stephanie that she still has feelings for Ridge.[70] Whip's frustration with Taylor's feelings for Ridge leads to the demise of their relationship the following year, and they end the marriage.[71]

Rivalry with Brooke

Beginning in 1990, Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Taylor would fight over Ridge's affection for years.[72] In 2013, Tylo revealed that she and Lang would distance themselves from each other to make their on-screen rivalry convincing: "We cannot look comfortable with each other. We need to look like we are in a place of competition."[73]

In 2010, Lang and Tylo recreated a 1983 lily pond cat-fight between

CBS Studios.[74] Tommy Garrett of Canyon News said the "two Mrs. Ridge Forresters" had escalated to "all out war".[74] After Stephanie's death, Taylor and Brooke's animosity against one another reignites as Taylor grows closer to Eric in 2013. Tylo said that "When Brooke and Taylor go at it, it really gets a lot of people wound up. I said this brings the show around full circle with everything Stephanie was fighting for, and now the battle has been set for these two to really go at it."[72] In 2018, Brooke and Taylor engage in a food fight at Hope Logan's (Annika Noelle) wedding to Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), Steffy's ex-husband. Tylo stated, "In the past, Taylor’s tried to play into Brooke’s psychology to find any kind of guilty conscious (...) Now, Taylor realizes Brooke doesn’t have one! There’s no trying to get to her because she doesn’t listen to reason. Taylor’s been letting stuff sit and stew for years. She’s not happy and, now, she’s got to vent!"[75]

Baby Jack

In 2007, Brooke and Taylor's rivalry intensified when Brooke begins pursuing

Nick Marone (Jack Wagner) while he is married to Taylor. Soap Opera Digest noted that the women were "crossing swords once again for the same man". Tylo observed that both Brooke and Taylor were being written with "more intelligence" this time around, and was happy in revisiting the rivalry between them as "long as it wasn't over Ridge" again.[38] Taylor becomes pregnant with Nick's child through In vitro fertilisation (IVF), having struggled to conceive a child, and gives birth to Jack Marone. However, because of a mistake that Bridget had made in the lab, it was Brooke's eggs which were implanted in Taylor and not the donor's; making Brooke Jack's biological mother. She fears that her baby will be drawn to Brooke.[76] Taylor begins drinking and becomes mentally unstable, with her parental rights being taken away. The scenes where Taylor loses custody and suffers a breakdown in court were filmed shortly after Tylo's own son died. Tylo told On-Air On-Soaps: "I got a lot of emails from people worrying. They would go from worrying about me to saying, 'Was I okay with those scenes and after them?'" The actress said that she tapped into her own tragedy when portraying those scenes, and allowed herself to feel the "feeling that will never go away which is, 'It's not fair'".[77] Taylor is soon awarded joint custody of Jack when she passes a mental health evaluation.[67] However, she cannot bond with him and ends up giving Jack to Brooke in the end.[35]

Departure (2002)

In October 2002, it was announced that Bradley Bell had decided to kill off Taylor, and Tylo would depart the role after twelve years. In a statement on her website, she wrote: "It is with great sadness I have to tell you that Brad has decided to kill off the character Taylor. He feels the character is too good and has too much integrity to take her down other paths—in a word, played out."[16] The actress confessed that she was unhappy with her character's direction at the time of her exit, saying: "I really felt like Taylor had lost the wind from her sails and was going nowhere."[18] Tylo said that "It just seemed like everything had to do with whether or not there was a woman after her husband" and that she was "done with it", revealing that her unhappiness with the writing began when the character of Morgan appeared on the show.[18] Furthermore, both Tylo and Bell agreed that Taylor was at a "brick wall", but Bell was "afraid to go beyond that" and have the character go "off the deep end", in fear of destroying her integrity. However, Tylo believed that "in reality that's what she needed – to be more human. But she just got boring instead".[38] Tylo added: "Taylor either needed to die or she needed to go berserk and lose her mind or something, which I think would have made a lot of people mad."[18] Taylor is gunned down by Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) and, despite undergoing surgery, she dies in Ridge's arms due to her injuries.[78] Tylo eventually returned to the soap, with Taylor revealed to be alive in 2005.[50][79]

Reception

Character and portrayal

The role of Taylor is considered iconic,

Daytime Confidential wrote, "The back-from-death version of Taylor is a whole lot more horny than she was back in the day. Is it all because she never got over Ridge, her one true love?"[35] Chris Eades of CBS Soaps in Depth noted that "Fans were absolutely stunned" by the "all-too-rare surprise" of Taylor's 2018 return, writing: "With Steffy in desperate need of support, it was the perfect time for Taylor to return to town and offer her daughter some help."[98]

Discussing Tylo's portrayal, Debashine Thangevelo of

Telvis Award for Foreign Female TV Performer (Finnish: Ulkomainen naisesiintyjä) in 2002 for the role.[101]

Following the character's 2019 exit, Maas observed that fans had "been clamoring for Taylor’s return for years, as important moments in her children’s lives went by with their mother noticeably absent — and without a great explanation as to why."[93] In 2021, after the role was recast with Allen, Lynette Rice of Entertainment Weekly described the news as "sweet relief" for Forrester fans, adding that Allen "fills the very big stilettos left behind" by Tylo.[29] Soap Opera Digest described the recast as "shocking" and a "big-time grab".[102]

In 2022, Charlie Mason from

Soaps She Knows placed Taylor at 11th on his ranked list of The Bold and the Beautiful's Best of the Best Characters Ever, commenting that "For decades, we liked Hunter Tylo's shrink as a heroine who always got the short end of the stick. But we've come to love her as the woman scorned who, if she hasn't completely lost her marbles, has certainly misplaced some of 'em!"[103]

Romance

Widely famed, the triangle between Brooke, Ridge and Taylor is viewed as one of the soap opera genre's biggest storylines.

Soaps.com writer Candace Young stated that viewers "weren't disappointed", calling it "re-energizing to see these two pick up with their rivalry and play off one another."[105]

Ridge and Taylor are considered a soap opera

The Huffington Post on a list of the "Top 20 Most Memorable Soap Weddings of All Time".[44] Michael Fairman referred to Taylor and Thorne as "the screwed-over couple of B&B".[41]
