A new face is coming to The Young and the Restless. However, they’ll be playing a familiar character!

Fans of soap operas are familiar with the concept of actors being replaced in roles and know that it happens for a variety of reasons.

The Bold and the Beautiful is one of the most popular soap operas of all time, but we bet that there’s a lot even the most dedicated fan doesn’t know about the show!

Debuting all the way back in 1987, the sudser is in its 37th year of production. As a result, it has one of the most storied histories on TV.

Boasting a star-studded cast, glam costume and no shortage of drama, The Bold and the Beautiful is so successful because it’s been keeping its fans entertained for nearly four decades. However, there’s so much going on on screen, that you might have missed some of the tea from backstage.

We pulled together 12 secrets that you might not know, including the unbelievable amount of weddings that have taken place on the show, the very small age gap between a pair who played father and son and how the show made history for LGBTQ+ representation.

Relationship drama often drives the plot of our favorite soap operas, and a happy ending isn’t always right around the corner.

Some characters find a fairytale love story, but it’s rarely without a few bumps along the road. After all, affairs, amnesia and so many other unexpected plot twists make it pretty hard for a relationship to go the distance.

There isn’t often quite as much drama in real life, but the set of a soap opera is actually a spot where romantic relationships are born between costars. While there aren’t as many wild plot twists, these love stories can be nearly as contentious as the ones we see onscreen.

And they aren’t all guaranteed to last.

We previously rounded up 15 soap opera couples who are dating in real life, including one that has been married for nearly 50 years!

However, we were able to find as many former couples who have broken up. Several actors have dated and even married multiple costars. Others made it decades before deciding to call things off.

The list also includes stars who divorced and called of engagements or simply broke things off. There’s also one iconic love triangle that started out as the plot of a popular soap opera before bleeding over into real life!
