Former “Big Brother” winner Rachel Reilly is heading back to “The Bold and the Beautiful” in November when she reprises her role as Rachel, a server at Bikini Bar, who also has a side hustle as an “energy healer and spiritual cleanser.”

Set to appear in at least two episodes airing on Thursday, November 13 and Friday, November 14, Reilly will share scenes with Don Diamont (Bill Spencer), Heather Tom (Katie Logan) and Scott Clifton (Liam Spencer).

According to Entertainment Weekly, which first reported the news, Reilly’s character is said to have “experiences with toxic houses,” a nod to her time in the “Big Brother” house, including her most recent arrival this summer during the long-running reality show’s 27th season. Reilly previously appeared on the competition series in Season 12 and Season 13, with the latter season seeing her crowned the winner of the game.

“I shook the ‘Big Brother 27’ house with boldness, beauty, and a touch of betrayal,” said Reilly to Entertainment Weekly while discussing her return to the half-hour soap opera. “So naturally, I’m stepping back into the Forrester world — where drama meets couture. As an icon, I serve both and couldn’t be more excited to be back.”

In addition to “Big Brother,” Reilly has also been a competitor on such shows as “The Amazing Race,” “The Traitors,” “Celebrity Fear Factor,” and “Snake in the Grass.” She previously appeared in more than two dozen episodes of “The Bold and the Beautiful” between 2010 and 2014.

Nice to see another BB fan on here (I think most either quit the board or the show...). Rachel certainly deserves the gig after carrying the first half of the season on her back.

She was giving a masterclass in how to play Big Brother, but Alison Grodner struck her evilness once again.

Love to see it!!   I've watched every season, every episode and still enjoy it haha. Totally agree that Rachel carried most of this season and I really didn't like the twist that got her out. I'm sure production was kicking themselves on that one haha.

I couldn't believe how she got eliminated! 

 

I was laughing when she kept saying she could act because she was a bikini waitress on B&B. When I read that set was back I had a feeling she would come on, hah.

Poor B&B is bad enough without having to sit through Rachel. I gave up Big Brother a few years back after being diehard in the beginning. She was by far one of the most annoying players ever in my opinion. Can't stand her. 

In general I've never understood the idea of "stunt" casting. It does absolutely nothing for the ratings no matter how much (or little) press it gets.
