Jack Wagner, Nick Marone, The Bold and the Beautiful

Although he made a brief appearance during the show’s 35th anniversary episode in 2022, actor Jack Wagner is set to reprise his role as Nick Marone on “The Bold and the Beautiful” for a story arc that kicks off with episodes airing in June, Deadline reported.

According to the outlet, Wagner returned to the show’s Los Angeles-based set on Thursday to tape scenes that surrounds the emotional turmoil inflicted on Katherine Kelly Lang’s character, Brooke Logan, who has been on a roller coaster ride of late following years of an on again/off again relationship with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). His episodes begin airing Friday, June 13.

“After a series of tumultuous events in her ongoing relationship with Ridge Forrester, Brooke is feeling defeated and lost, grappling with heartbreak and the painful realization that her relationship may be irreparably broken,” read a logline for the storyline. “As she struggles with her emotions, Nick’s unexpected arrival brings a rush of memories and unresolved feelings back to the surface. His charismatic and supportive nature offers Brooke a sense of comfort and stability that she desperately needs. Their connection reignites old flames, offering Brooke a chance at happiness and a fresh start away from the shadow of her past with Ridge.”

First appearing on the half-hour soap in 2003, Wagner portrayed Nick Marone, son of shipping tycoon Massimo Marone (played by the late Joseph Mascolo), who also happens to be Ridge’s half-brother. Described as adventurous and ambitious, the sea captain now runs Marone Industries.

“I was actually pretty blindsided just by driving to CBS because I was on the show for 8 or 9 years. Just driving there and walking down the halls at CBS, and then up to the dressing room and reconnecting to the actors, it was unbelievable,” said Wagner during an appearance on “The Talk” in 2022 on his return to the show in celebration of its 35th anniversary episode. “Like, you know, when you see a high school friend and you just jump right back like time hasn’t passed. It’s so great to be back on the show again.”

Although the legal son of Nick and Taylor Hayes (then played by Hunter Tylo), Brooke inadvertently provided a donor egg that led to the conception of Jack Hamilton Marone, who first appeared on the soap in 2007, technically making the child her biological son. 

Following a lengthy legal battle during his divorce from Taylor, it was later determined that Nick would be the better parent for Jack with Taylor relinquishing her maternal rights and also leaving him in the care of Brooke as well. 

In the years since that storyline, fans have clamored to see an aged up Jack, but, at press time, there were no indications the show had plans on including the character in the upcoming Nick/Brooke story arc.

Since exiting “The Bold and the Beautiful,” Wagner has gone on to star several TV movies for Hallmark Channel, including “The Wedding March” series, and stars in the network’s long-running drama “When Calls the Heart” which was just renewed for a record 13th season, set to debut in 2026.

Recently renewed for three additional seasons at CBS, “The Bold and the Beautiful” is set to tape episodes on location later this year in Italy for the sixth time, with supervising producer Casey Kasprzyk teasing Naples or Capri as possible cities.

The soap previously taped in Italy while on location during trips to Lake Como in 1997, Venice in 1999, Portofino in 2002, Puglia in 2012, and, more recently, Rome in 2023.

I liked his first couple of seasons. I liked that he was the anti-Ridge and that he was a clean-slate for Brooke. I liked his sense of humor and the way he cared for Brooke. I liked the acting, when it was not too much. JW has a tendency to over-act, especially when the script is melodramatic. But when he's good... he's soapy good. I didn't like the taboo storylines and I didn't like him past 2007-2008. BUT I have strong memories from the moments I did like - remember I was in my EARLY teens when I was watching this... so all of this is my memories from then. I haven't re-watched these seasons in decades. 

But I still... am EXCITED that we are getting a change from Brooke begging Ridge for a chance.

This seems random. I wondered if they were bringing him back to kill him off, but apparently not.

I stopped watching by most of his run but kept up at times. I had forgotten all that mess with Taylor. 

Maybe he can take her with him and she can return played by Kristen Alderson.

My fear is that Nick hasn't worked as a character since somewhere 2007-2008. I'm worried that my memories of the good moments... are just that - memories from 2003-2007. Bradley Bell desecrated that character and as I recall at one time he had slept with 99.9 percent of the women in the show, except Stephanie. 

I don't know what will happen now... I just should not get any hopes up.

We are just so traumatized by this drivel's horrible quality... that any change like this... makes me perk up.

Nick was a big part of the spoiling of B&B for me back in the day. 

I think the reappearance of Jack Marone is about as likely as the reappearance of Little Eric (despite the fact that his sister and father are presently part of the show.)

He's not back to usher Brooke/KKL off the show, is he?

Her screentime has decreased a lot recently and the character is in a limbo. A few years ago I would never have thought it possible that she would leave, but who knows.....

I always liked him especially his first few Years. He felt Like a Fresh breath of Air in that Show. Even when the Show gave up on him I liked him.

But why is Mister Wagner returning to B&B and not GH.

    • It could have been interesting, given that she and Alex were friends. I imagine he would have ended up bringing out her Solita personality.  For all the talk of crazy fans, for a long time fans did seem willing to embrace the rivals of...well, Reva's rivals. (no wonder Kim felt insecure as it happened three times with her) You don't seem to get as much of the tribalism until the "Manny" era. I guess some might say "Matessa" too, but as I could not stand Dinah in those years, I am not one to talk about their fans if they managed to repeatedly put the kibosh on a Matt/Dinah pairing. And at least that did not seem to involve death threats.
    • 1976 Pt 4 Viki is stunned to learn from Dr. Jim Craig that her father may never speak or be mobile again. Dorian bravely assures her that she’ll devote her entire life to Victor and if anyone can help him recover, she can. Alone with Victor, Dorian tells him she knows he hears her and she was wrong—she lashed out at him from hurt. She insists that none of it is true, that Tony is lying to try to drive her away and be Victor’s heir. Dorian then accuses Tony of causing Victor’s stroke, saying he could have killed him. But learning that Victor made three phone calls after his visit convinces him that his father was fine after he left and Dorian’s fine hand is at the base of this. Dorian insists that Victor be released into her care as soon as possible; she'll set up all necessary facilities at Llanfair., When Dorian walks in while Viki is reading a letter from Tony to Victor, she interrupts the reading, claiming it’s upsetting Victor. Viki tells Tony, however, that Victor was fine listening to his letter and it was Dorian’s entrance that upset him greatly. Dorian is delighted when a Lord Enterprises attorney informs her she’s going to receive Victor’s power of attorney on a temporary basis. Tony is furious that no one is challenging this, but Viki explains that they can’t do anything, as the law is on Dorian’s side and a challenge would only be a public statement of lack of trust in Victor’s wife. Viki insists that Victor’s welfare is being safeguarded, but Tony points out that. none of the people who care for him are with him at Llanfair. Joe is with Victor when he seems to rally and speaks Joe’s and Dorian’s names. Over Joe’s observation that Victor wants to continue, Dorian quickly administers a sedative, insisting this effort is too taxing. The following day, Peter, at Llanfair to give Dorian some Free Clinic reports she’s requested, overhears Victor say, “Phone . . . get me Hanson” (one of his lawyers) and sees Dorian quickly sedate him again, saying he can’t have any visitors for fear of overexertion. The very next day Victor is taken back to the hospital by ambulance, in a coma. Told that Victor is conscious but near death, and calling for his daughter, Dorian, knowing that Viki and Joe are waiting in the courtyard, intentionally sends the nurse to look for them in Jim’s office, delaying their arrival until Victor is no longer able to talk. Viki sits with him for a few moments, then must leave, and shortly thereafter Jim tells her, Joe, and Tony that Victor has died. . Vinnie is horrified to learn his wife Wanda, is the “Lana-Sheen Lady,” a cosmetics saleswoman. He tells her she violated the trust of their marriage by intentionally concealing that she was working, something he had forbidden, insisting he must be the breadwinner in the family. But Wanda warns Vinnie that there is more to this than the money, that she needs to feel she’s accomplishing something with her life. Vinnie does think it through but questions the safety of going door to door. Wanda then springs Tony’s offer that  work for him at Tony’s Place, initially infuriating Vince, who claims Tony is a wolf. But a visit to the club shows Vince that Wanda does indeed have considerable talents for running a restaurant establishment, and he gives his approval. Despite Cathy’s continued insistence that they not marry but go on as before, Tony is willing to let her have things her way, and their relationship has resumed. Pat tries to reassure her son, who thinks Cathy is not very nice, by explaining that it’s difficult for Cathy to be with children, since she recently lost her own little girl. But the pain of facing Tony and Cathy’s relationship becomes too much for Pat and, needing to tell someone, she confides in Viki the true story of Brian’s parentage.  Viki tells Pat she must tell Tony the truth and she should fight for Tony if she still loves him and give her son his rightful father, especially since Tony and Brian were good friends from the moment they met. Cathy, however, is growing suspicious of the easy closeness between Pat and Tony and questions him about their old relationship. Tony insists that their relationship was a brief romance, too short to be earthshaking, and assures her that Pat didn’t rebound into Kendall’s arms they had known each other long before Rio. But Cathy is not satisfied, and pursues her inquiry in New York, where she finds that Pat didn’t marry Paul until after Brian’s birth. This confirms Cathy’s suspicions, and she decides she has to act now to keep Pat from taking Tony from her. Pat, meanwhile, has decided to tell Tony the truth and arranges a meeting with him. She is stunned when he walks in with Cathy and introduces her as Mrs. Tony Lord. Pat says nothing, and later has to tell her embittered son that he’s going to have to accept Cathy as Tony’s wife whether he likes it or not. Viki, learning of Tony’s marriage, rushes to console Pat, who castigatés herself for having wasted so much time on a man who doesn’t love her. She knows she'll have to tell Brian the truth someday, but is sure that if he learned the truth now he would feel deserted by Tony, just as he feels deserted by Paul. Tony and Cathy’s married life begins on an idyllic plane, with Cathy eagerly making plans for a child. Tony has read Cathy’s book and wonders if she’s not | dealt too severely with a central character who bears an unmistakeable resemblance to Viki. Cathy admits that this is true, and Pat, working with Cathy’s agent, has already suggested revisions. Pat finds Brian having nightmares, and the boy admits his uncertainty about his father’s death, as Paul’s body was never actually identified. Concerned, Tony spends time with the boy, upsetting Cathy, who sees him as a threat. Cathy’s agent mentions to Pat that Cathy interrogated him about the details of her marriage and her child, and Pat suddenly realizes Cathy knows. She confronts Cathy, accusing her of marrying Tony to hold on to him. Cathy tries to insist that she doesn’t know what Pat’s talking about, and counter accuses her of trying to break up her marriage. Pat then leaves, saying they’ll discuss it when Cathy’s ready.
    • Michelle Forbes really captivated GL viewers so it was smart of Long to take advantage of that. When I looked back at news items and letters to the editors, I found so many letters to the editors/columns upset she was not nominated for Best Actress the year before she was nominated for supporting actress.  I read somewhere that they had planned a major storyline with Sonni and Roger but that it never came to pass because Forbes wanted to leave the show. I wonder what they had in mind.

    • Haha, love to hear it, and thank you! Yeah, I just write down thoughts/notes as I'm watching in this viewing journal I'm keeping.  So, you get my raw, honest thoughts in the moment without me having to go back and remember or curate anything.

        Watros is great, and I've liked her from the beginning, so I'm excited to see her evolve and shine even more as Annie continues to descend. I'll keep an eye out for that scene.  I have to say, Rick cracks me up, there are times when he makes jokes and you can tell the actor is having fun with it and cracking himself up. He's endearing. Let me suffer!    So funny how big Josh's hair is in the 80s. Sign of the times, I guess.   I can't wait to finally see the Sonni storyline and watch a younger Michelle Forbes shine. It's on my list, I will go back in time eventually and do this  
    • This was late 1993, right before Roger is shot. 
    • Haha I guess so, and in this recent case, Alan absolutely deserved it (many times over, honestly).
    • It's hard to remember, as Holly and Blake always seemed to be on the outs over something.
    • Ohhh yes, these were exciting!  What year was this?  Another added bonus, watching Tangie lurk around like a thief with that black beanie.

      I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts over Gilly's exit and Vivian's first and likely only contract storyline. It was just a shame. On one hand, I'm glad they decided to finally write for this family (as Gilly was sorely underused in 1995), but then on the other... that was what they decided? Sure, it was a bit soapy, but oh so gross. They could have come up with something better.
    • Women slapping guys is a little more common.  I grew up with CBS, so it doesn't seem strange to me. If you got a slap, you usually really deserved it.
