It does seem like they are going with Rey/Chelsea. But it's not built up enough yet, so the show could do what it sometimes does: start something and then abruptly pivot in another direction.

According to the casting publicity for the show, her role was to be "Olivia Sturgess DuPont". https://deadline.com/2021/06/l-scott-caldwell-joins-fox-our-kind-of-people-major-recurring-role-1234784386/ But if her maiden name is Sturgess, I don't think it was ever mentioned in Season 1. I watched all of season 1 and I don't remember anyone mentioning it, but I may have missed it.

I agree 100 %

From Michael Blake Kruse's instagram, it seems his father is white. His mother seems in photos to be possibly AAPI or multiracial? The actor's sister identifies as "brown" on her twitter profile. If the actor is Asian-American in any way, his character doesn't have to be related to Selina and Brad's family.

B&B was preempted March 24 which caused some online sites to have the episodes airing on different dates.

I made a typo when I first wrote this. I had written "That is how Cassie ended up in Genoa City". Of course I meant to say "That is how Mariah ended up in Genoa City". I have since fixed my post. --- Child Cassie ended up in Genoa City 25 years ago when Grace Turner found her. Cassie's full name at adoption was Cassidy Johnson. (adopted by Alice Johnson who was played by Tamara Clatterbuck). Alice wasn't taking care of Cassidy so Alice's elderly mother had been trying to raise her, but it was a bit much for her. Grace went on a search for the child Sharon had given up, and found Cassidy Johnson. Later on she was returned to Sharon, and the courts ruled that Nick and Sharon could have custody and be her legal parents. So then she became Cassidy Newman. Cassidy had the nickname Cassie.

Mariah and Cassie were twins. Backstory that came out when Nick Newman dug into Mariah's past: Sharon was a pregnant teenager, and she and her mother tried to keep this secret from the public. They went to some secret medical place when she delivered. Sharon was never told she was pregnant with twins. (They didn't have much money so she probably didn't have prenatal checkups). Sharon was sedated when she gave birth. A clinic employee (or someone pretending to be an employee?) took one of the twins, and Sharon never knew. Sharon and her mother knew only about one child, Cassie, whom she gave immediately up for adoption. Alice Johnson adopted Cassie. Sharon didn't know who adopted Cassie until Grace Turner tracked her down in 1997. Remember the storyline from decades ago that Nikki Reed (later Nikki Newman) was in a cult? When it first aired, the cult was run by a woman. It was later retconned that the cult was run by a man named Ian Ward. Some nonsense that began in 2014 to explain that Nikki and Paul had sex during their time at the cult and Nikki gave birth to Dylan who was adopted by the McAvoy family (Dylan was played as an adult by Steve Burton). While investigating all of this, the character of Ian Ward was introduced to the Y&R canvas. Back to the Mariah storyline: The nefarious person had secretly stolen the newborn twin Mariah from Sharon. Mariah was raised by a woman named Helen Copeland. Helen belonged to a cult run by the villain Ian Ward. So basically Mariah was raised in the cult. Mariah later left the cult and became a grifter. Later on, Victor Newman noticed this young woman Mariah who bore an uncanny resemblance to Cassie - and Victor hired her to come to Genoa City to pretend to be the ghost of dead Cassie and haunt Sharon Newman's cottage. Victor wanted to harm Sharon for one of his plots. That is how Mariah ended up in Genoa City. Mariah had no idea that the woman she was gaslighting (Sharon) was her biological mother. It was later on that Nick researched it and learned that Mariah was actually Cassie's twin, which nobody had known, not even Victor. There's more convoluted nonsense plot relating to Ian Ward. Ian resented the Newmans because Victor married Ian's former cult member Nikki, so Ian tried to wreak havoc on the Newmans. He kidnapped adult Mariah from Genoa City with the intent to marry her - I forget how she escaped that. It's an entire mess that I don't like to remember. It was very gross because, as the cult leader, Ian had been a father figure to child Mariah, and then we learned that he wanted her as his bride. Mariah was raised in a cult and later became a grifter. Tessa was raised in her real family who were apparently abusive, and she later became a grifter. Hence neither woman judging the other for their pasts.

This is how Chad's plan backfires... Craig walks in on Chad and Leo. Craig realizes that the situation was a set-up. Then Craig decides to propose marriage to Leo.

Susan Walters' husband. (yes i know he once had a role on Y&R, but I think he's just being the supportive spouse here)

Friday March 25 US or Thurs March 24 CDN Adam tells Sally Spectra that Ashland faked his cancer so that Victoria would marry him in a hurry. Sally listens, not letting on that she tried the same thing on Wyatt on B&B. Courtney Hope is really great in this role now. So glad Sally's savvy and smart now. No longer desperate like she was on B&B.

The Brooke-and-her-five-loves episode was preempted in USA March 24, but it aired in Canada and here is the recap SPOILER: This will air in US on March 25. They'll air it again in Canada on Friday March 25 or maybe air a repeat in Canada on Friday. Then Monday March 28 US and Canada will both air a new episode.

Every Friday, the boldandbeautiful youtube channel (The show's free channel, not the CBS channel) has a show called "Bold Live". Supervising producer Casey Kasprzyck is the host. Each week a different actor is on. Fans can submit questions ahead of time, or type them into the live youtube chat area. The actor is interviewed by Casey and also answers some questions. Almost every Friday since January 28th, during "Bold Live", Casey has been hyping this "big thing" to come. Usually at the end of the show.
