There’s no denying that Taylor has deep roots in The Bold and the Beautiful’s history. So, Budig embracing the role is a big move that has everyone talking.

Moreover, the B&B actor revealed that the duo never had the chance to work together one-on-one before. Subsequently, he’s curious to see how this situation will unfold. Kaye also joked about their time on All My Children. On the show, Budig often played a supporting role to her leading man, Cameron Mathison. “I could barely see her behind him!” he laughed.

Additionally, Kaye believes Taylor’s return will add more depth and potential to multiple storylines. He insisted, “Taylor is needed. Her presence will shake things up for Steffy, Thomas, and Ridge, of course.” According to him, the character brings so much to the table, so he’s glad she’s back. Plus, the decision to cast Budig didn’t surprise Kaye.

The soap vet knows how challenging soap opera work can be and acknowledges the unique skill set required. “They looked at around 15 or 20 people, and Rebecca stood out. It’s not easy to do what we do.” After all, the actress has all the experience in the world! Furthermore, Kaye also shared a fun tidbit about his close friendship with Alicia Minshew.

Alicia played his on-screen wife on AMC and remains tight with Budig. “Alicia was just at my house last weekend, so no, we didn’t talk much about it,” he joked. But she’s happy for Rebecca and Thorsten to work together. Moving further, Kaye talked about recasts, which can be tough for fans, especially for a character like Taylor.

He compared it to sports, “Sometimes, teams need new players to keep things fresh. It’s the same here.” With Taylor back in the mix, it’s the perfect time for some classic soap drama, right? The soap icon grinned, “Whenever Ridge and Brooke get close, someone always shows up to stir the pot.”  Well, that’s what keeps us all hooked!

    I liked it better with Taylor gone. I couldn’t stand the last Taylor. Just isn’t the same without the original Taylor.
