Is Zoe Buckingham Getting Recast In The Bold And The Beautiful?

"The Bold and the Beautiful" was left to scramble when actress Kiara Barnes opted to leave the soap in the spring of 2021 when she landed a plum role on the Fox remake of "Fantasy Island," according to Deadline. The character suddenly learned her fiancé, Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor), had slept with Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer), and she knew she needed to get away. So, when a job offer arrived that would get her far away from LA, she took it.

That left Paris to her own devices and in the months since Zoe left, Paris has been a very busy young lady. First, she dated Zende Forrester (Delon De Metz), then developed a crush on Steffy's husband, John Finnegan (Tanner Novlan), and wowed Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson) with her singing prowess before moving onto Zende again. Finally, she's decided she wants to be with her sister's ex, Carter. That should be the cue for Zoe to make a very convenient comeback — especially with another member of their family now living in LA.
