The Real Reason Kiara Barnes Left The Bold And The Beautiful

While Paris seems to be fantasizing about all the men that her sister, Zoe, once had feelings for, Kiara Barnes is living a fantasy life herself on the Fox reboot of the classic ABC primetime series, "Fantasy Island," in which guests travel to a tropical haven and a magical host makes sure their wildest fantasies come true.

Barnes plays Ruby Akuda, a woman who arrived on the island with a terminal disease, but was given a new lease on life and decided to stay, becoming a regular character on the show, according to Deadline.

In fact, "Fantasy Island" has been picked up for a second season with Barnes still bringing Ruby to life, so the busy actress may not have time to also work on a soap — leaving Zoe traveling Europe forever or opening the door for the character to be recast. Either way, Paris and her mother, Grace Buckingham (Cassandra Creech) still manage to make Carter's life as messy and soapy as can be.
