Bold and Beautiful Comings & Goings: Familiar Face Returns After 11-Year Absence
CASTING NEWS
If you've missed the Bikini Bar's favorite server-turned-scene-stealer, good news: Big Brother (movies and tv series) legend Rachel Reilly (movies and tv series) is back on The Bold and the Beautiful for a two-episode return. She'll appear Thursday, November 13, 2025, and Friday, November 14, 2025.
It's been 11 years since we last saw her on the CBS soap, and this comeback isn't just a quick wink at nostalgia. It's a small story beat with ties to one of B&B's most tangled families.
Who she plays (and who she's with)
Reilly returns as Rachel, but she's not slinging drinks at the Bikini Bar this time. She's stepping in as an energy healer and spiritual cleanser for the Spencers - yes, really - after all the recent Luna-fueled chaos.
Her scenes are with Don Diamont (movies and tv series) (Bill), Heather Tom (movies and tv series) (Katie), and Scott Clifton (movies and tv series) (Liam). Picture Rachel trying to clear the vibe in Bill's office. That's the tone - a little playful, a little meta, and very B&B.
Why this cameo matters
B&B has a long-running tradition of inviting Big Brother favorites to pop in after a season wraps. Reilly first showed up as Bikini Bar waitress Rachel back in 2010, then again in 2011, 2013, and 2014. These new episodes mark her 30th and 31st appearances - an outlier for reality crossover guests, and a nod to how well she fits the canvas.
She's also said the show means something personal. She's talked about watching with her nana and how being back on set feels like coming home. And you can hear the grin when she admits she hoped Big Brother this year would lead to another B&B walk-on. Source: her chat with TV Insider.
The texture
Reilly once joked she'd saved enough tips to buy the Bikini Bar. This time, she's graduated to sage and crystals - figuratively, at least - with a mission to calm Spencer energy. Maybe it's just timing, but B&B choosing "spiritual housecleaning" right now feels on-brand for a show that loves dramatic resets after messy revelations.
