Gone Too Soon: Bold and the Beautiful Star When Calls Dies Unexpectedly

When Calls the Heart—Literally: Brooke Logan Gets Another Shot at Love with a Very Familiar Flame on Bold and the Beautiful
The Bold and the Beautiful is about to turn up the heat just in time for summer, and Brooke Logan is back in the center of the romantic storm. After months of heartbreak, rejection, and unanswered longing, the iconic blonde is finally getting what fans have been clamoring for: a brand-new chance at love. But in true B&B fashion, it comes with a twist—and a very familiar face.
That’s right. Jack Wagner, known to soap fans as both General Hospital’s Frisco Jones and Bold and the Beautiful’s Nick Marone, is making his long-anticipated return to the CBS sudser. And his reappearance isn’t just a nostalgic walk down memory lane—he’s stepping back into Brooke’s life at the exact moment she needs him most.
Brooke’s Long, Lonely Road Back to Romance
Brooke Logan hasn’t exactly been thriving in the love department lately. After Ridge Forrester pulled yet another classic Ridge move and flip-flopped back to Taylor Hayes, Brooke found herself adrift. While she’s used to being the center of attention—especially from the man she’s called her destiny—this time around, Ridge hasn’t been so easy to reel back in.
In fact, Ridge’s loyalty to Taylor has seemed almost… real. Even Brooke’s most seductive maneuvers, including a not-so-subtle lingerie stroll through the Forrester boardroom, failed to soften the hard wall Ridge has built around his heart. That wall, by the way, Taylor is currently living behind—and Ridge shows no sign of inviting Brooke in.
All of this stems from the drama surrounding Hope’s recent power grab at Forrester Creations. When Brooke’s daughter shockingly participated in a coup that temporarily ousted the founding family, Ridge was appalled. And when Brooke, perhaps out of misguided loyalty or maternal pride, co-signed the decision by stepping in as acting CEO, Ridge saw it as the ultimate betrayal.
Even after the Forrester family regained control, Ridge remained unmoved. Despite Brooke’s repeated pleas—and those signature longing looks—the dressmaker stood firm with Taylor, the mother of his children, and perhaps the only woman capable of resisting the magnetic pull Brooke has over him.
Nick Marone Returns—Just in the Nick of Time
Enter Nick Marone. Fans haven’t seen Brooke’s salty-yet-sweet ex-husband since B&B‘s 35th anniversary special in 2022, where he briefly appeared in a dream sequence. But before that, Nick set sail on the Shady Marlin, presumably with his son Jack—who, it’s worth noting, is also Brooke’s biological child.
Now, Jack Wagner is back on the Bold and Beautiful set, having begun filming in April for a juicy new storyline arc. Nick’s official on-screen return is slated for June 13th, and his timing couldn’t be more perfect—or more dramatic. Brooke will have been single for nearly six months by that point, which might be a new record for the ever-romantic Logan matriarch.
And it looks like she won’t be single for much longer.
Old Flames, New Sparks
The storyline is expected to plunge Brooke and Nick into an emotional rollercoaster of unresolved feelings, buried history, and undeniable chemistry. The pair share a rich and complicated romantic past—one that includes a passionate love affair, marriage, heartbreak, and a child.
Their relationship was never simple, but it was never dull either. And now, with Ridge seemingly out of reach and Brooke emotionally vulnerable, Nick’s return brings the possibility of real healing—and maybe even happiness.
It’s a bold move for the show, which has long kept Brooke orbiting around Ridge. But fans have often cited Nick as one of the few men who truly challenged Brooke, loved her fully, and gave her something real outside of the Forrester whirlwind. Could Bold and the Beautiful be pivoting to a genuine new love story for Brooke after all these years?
A Storm of Emotions—and a Summer to Remember
Brooke’s love life is never a quiet affair, and with Nick back in town, things are bound to get complicated quickly. Will they pick up where they left off? Can they rebuild what was broken? And how will Ridge react when he realizes he may have finally lost Brooke for good?
Viewers can expect sparks to fly as Nick re-enters the scene and shakes up the status quo. With June shaping up to be one of the most emotionally charged months yet, Brooke Logan might just get her long-overdue shot at a different kind of destiny—the one she never saw coming.
Stay tuned to The Bold and the Beautiful for all the fiery reunions, shattered expectations, and surprising new beginnings. And don’t forget to catch Nick Marone’s return on June 13th—because when calls the heart, Brooke Logan is about to answer.
