‘Bold and the Beautiful’ Comings & Goings: Zoe Exits – Dead or Leaves in Disgrace?

Bold and the Beautiful coming and goings have Zoe Buckingham (Kiara Barnes) leaving the CBS soap for good but it sounds like an explosive exit is planned. It’s no secret that the character of Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) returns after being away on maternity leave. Plus, there’s a death and some minor ins and outs.

Bold and the Beautiful Coming and Goings: Vinny Walker In Spirit

It looks like Vinny Walker (Joe LoCicero) is dead to everyone. All except Liam Spencer (Scott Clifton), who is visited frequently by the murder victim. Whether Vinny became a ghost or he’s just in Liam Spencer’s head, LoCicero shot scenes past his character’s tragic death.

So, he’s still not completely gone as of yet. But Vinny is leaving the show for good. Although, with Vinny’s death front and center in a murder probe, fans may still see him until it’s solved – as a ghost, in flashbacks, and at his memorial next week.

Lt. Baker (Dan Martin) already made his appearance on Bold and the Beautiful as he investigates Vinny’s death. But soon Detective Sanchez (Jimmy Ray Valdez) joins him. This means the murder probe heats up. Once it wraps, LA’s finest police will be off the scene too.

B&B Coming and Goings: The End of Zoe Buckingham

Zoe Buckingham is not long for Bold and the Beautiful. Kiara Barnes leaves the sudser to star in a reboot of Fantasy Island. Reports indicate she plays a terminally ill woman, Ruby Okoro, on the remake of the classic 80s prime time supernatural drama.

Barnes’ character on the reboot enjoys her stay on the isle so much that it gives her a new lease on life. So, it sounds like Ruby has the option to live by staying put on that floating piece of paradise. And that means Zoe Buckingham can’t stick around at B&B.

Back at Bold and the Beautiful, they need to explain Zoe’s exit. With Zoe Buckingham’s final episodes slated for mid-July, they have a blank canvas to work with. That begs the question – how will Zoe depart?

Since Zoe tends to leap without caution, this exit may be the explosive storyline promised by Brad Bell. Right now Zoe Buckingham desperately attempts to get Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) back in her life.

She’s even got Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer) advocating for her on Bold and the Beautiful. But will Zoe go to extremes?

Bold and the Beautiful Coming and Goings: Zoe In Tragic Ending?

It seems Quinn becomes a bit too flirtatious with Zoe Buckingham’s ex-fiance, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) this week on Bold and the Beautiful. She spots him in his skivvies soon – and it’s impressive. But the jury is out on whether Carter will betray Eric Forrester (John McCook) and get with Quinn.

If that happens and Zoe Buckingham finds out, the results might turn awful. Since she’s leaving, Zoe could snap and get carted off to a facility. Or finding Quinn with Carter could push Zoe over the edge and she may do something to harm herself (or them) on Bold and the Beautiful.

If  Carter and Quinn never hook up, then we may simply see Zoe could leave town in a huff because the hunky COO refuses to take her back. Or Zoe could be the victim of foul play and somehow end up dead.

Bold and the Beautiful promised a murder mystery. So far all they offered is an accident that left Vinny dead. So, maybe Zoe Buckingham is that victim and there’s a real murder mystery as promised.

Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood)

B&B Coming and Goings: Steffy Forrester On Her Way Back

With Jacqui Wood’s maternity leave winding down, Steffy Forrester is on her way back to Bold and the Beautiful. Recent reports put Steffy back on the show at the end of May – so in about a month.

Steffy went away just after discovering she was pregnant and then they seemed to tap the fast-forward and showed her baby bumping. But she’ll return to Bold and the Beautiful about ready to give birth. Yes, the CBS soap is taking some liberties with the pregnancy timeline.

It seems Steffy will have her trials and tribulations with the cops investigating Vinny’s murder. After all, both she and John Finnegan “Finn” (Tanner Novlan) do have the motive to see Vinny dead. So, watch the cops grill them – and see the red flags for Zoe Buckingham’s coming exit.
