CBS' "The Bold and the Beautiful" is welcoming a new cast member who will play as the teenage Ridge "R.J." Forrester Jr. Anthony Turpel is taking the role and will debut on the soap this coming September.
Children have to grow up eventually, even in soaps. And it's now the turn of little R.J., son of Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). CBS Soaps In Depth reported that the character is coming back to the frame after being away for some years. Anthony Turpel will be the teenage version of R.J., which was last played by Mace Coronel since 2013. He was seen very rarely, only during family gatherings. With the casting of his older self, perhaps R.J. will be part of a bigger story line.
This would be Turpel's first daytime gig. He is scheduled to appear on "The Bold and the Beautiful" on Sept. 14. He is known for his role in "Life in Pieces" and "Comedy Bang Bang."
In a related casting news, another Forrester is set to comeback, as Parent Herald previously learned. Ashleigh Brewer will be seen again on "The Bold and the Beautiful" on Aug. 31 as Ivy Forrester. Previously, Ivy left for Australia when she and Wyatt put an end in their relationship. Her return comes at a time that Wyatt and Steffy's marriage is on the rocks.
Meanwhile, "The Bold and the Beautiful" spoilers for the week of Aug. 22 tease that Ridge will try his best to talk to Eric Forrester (John McCook) to dump the gold digger Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer). The drama will span throughout the week, with Brooke stepping up to offer support to Ridge. A Forrester family meeting will cap off the week, all to revolve around getting Quinn out of Eric's life, via We Love Soaps.
"The Bold and the Beautiful" airs Monday to Friday at 1:30 p.m. on CBS.
