Soap opera icon Morgan Fairchild will return to the set of The Bold and the Beautiful 17 years after she last appeared on the hit show, alongside her friend and fellow actor Jim J. Bullock.
The 75-year-old will reprise her role as Dottie, the wealthy socialite and friend of Stephanie Forrester, who passed away on the show in 2012.
Morgan last appeared as Dottie in a handful of episodes in August 2009, and will guest star on the show again when Stephanie's granddaughter, Steffy, played by Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, journeys to San Francisco to pitch a jewelry line to her.
Jim, who originally portrayed wedding planner Serge on the show back in 2005 and 2009, will play Dottie's assistant, Joseph. Spencer Pratt, best known for starring in a string of reality TV series in the '00s, will join the cast as Rich, after he and his wife, Heidi Montag, appeared on B&B in April 2025 at a fashion show.
Morgan is a soap staple, after getting her start in the industry in 1973 with Search For Tomorrow. She followed this up with roles in Falcon Crest, The City, Days of Our Lives, Fashion House and Paper Dolls. She most recently starred in General Hospital in 2024 as Haven de Havilland, a home shopping channel host.
Morgan reminisced about her time on B&B in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "The first time I did Bold, God, how many years ago? A long time ago. I remember I was shooting the day Michael Jackson died. So that's however long ago that is," she recalled.

The pair then discussed how they felt about returning to the set, with Jim saying: "I'm so thrilled to get to come back and to work with Morgan. She's just a sweetheart."

Especially onto an established show, especially one that's this established, that's been going on forever."

"We both like to do comedy, and we kind of crack each other up. So while those poor people are over there having a dramatic scene, we're over here in the corner laughing, just carrying on."
