Brad Bell in an interview on MSN today confirms that Zach Conroy, formerly on GL, is joining the B&B cast in the role of Oliver, the brother of Sandy/Agnes, a guy who works in the music industry, and he will be romantically linked with the newly SORASED teenage Hope, Steffy will be interested in him too. Zach's first air date is January 20.

And, when asked if he's going to hire any more ex-GL stars, Bell reveals that he's got his eye on a certain ex-GL actress, and she may be appearing on B&B soon - I wonder who?

Marcy Rylan is blonde, so she's right up B&B's alley. But she's taking care of a baby now, isn't she?

It would be nice if he hires the lady that played Mel as Justin ex wife.

I bet Barbara Bloom forced this hiring on him...

Why does anybody still listening to Barbara Bloom. she's the one who gave us Rainbow Hack LML & Jeffery. & probably brought on TS as Colleen. & Brought back Sweet Valley High I mean Christel Khalil. She had a hand in most of the stuff that is wrong with Y&R.

This is good for Sarah Brown. Her story is the only interesting thing on the show right now and it hasn't gone the crazy route I expected. I didn't love him on GL, but I'd say good casting. Whip, Agnes and Oliver works for me. Finally Whip has a love interest and B&B is kinda watchable.

She just moved to LA and said as soon as she popped that baby out she was going to start auditioning.

Kim Zimmer lol

Wow, B&B will have 23 contract players come January. Impressive for a show that recently had its budget slashed in half.

Barbara Bloom

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Brought back Sweet Valley High I mean Christel Khalil.

Khalil is far from perfect, but considering who was playing Lily at the time...

Kim Zimmer was seen in the B&B building today!

Some speculation Bell will cast her as Sandy & Oliver's mother!

Kim Zimmer?! She and Sarah Brown out preening each other in their scenes together will be its own drama.

I liked Zach Conroy on GL. B&B is making good casting decisions.

Marcy should be auditioning in prime time not the soaps.

Good casting choice. I liked him on GL.

Zimmer on B&B? Love her!

I would like to see her and Susan going head to head.

There's also another actor joining the show:

Actor Justin Baldoni has been cast in the role of "Graham Darros," on The Bold and the Beautiful, Executive Producer and Head Writer Bradley P. Bell announced today. "Justin is a compelling young actor who will be able to bring forth the intensity that is essential for the character of Graham," said Bell. "Graham is a well-known fashion photographer who is hired by Steffy to work for Forrester Creations. It soon becomes evident that he has a sinister and mysterious past with another major character."

Baldoni began taping The Bold and the Beautiful on December 8, 2009. His first airdate is slated for January 15, 2010.

So his connection is with Sandy, right.

Sandy's rapist?

God. Zimmer is so white trash.

This is like Jodie all over again.
