Big Brother Star Rachel Reilly Returns to Bold & Beautiful With a Game-Changing Twist
Big Brother champion Rachel Reilly returns to The Bold and the Beautiful, back behind the Bikini Bar—this time with a mystical twist that promises fresh intrigue in Los Angeles. Expect her fan-favorite barkeep to stir more than just drinks.
Rachel Reilly is heading back to daytime TV and, yes, she is bringing the chaos. The Big Brother winner is returning to The Bold and the Beautiful for a two-episode stint in November, and her Bikini Bar server character is getting a very soapy new side hustle.
Here are the basics
- Who: Rachel Reilly (Big Brother winner and recent BB27 houseguest) returns as Rachel, the Bikini Bar server.
- When: Two new episodes air in November (this year).
- The twist: Rachel now also moonlights as an energy healer and spiritual cleanser. Because of course she does.
- Who she shares scenes with: Don Diamont (Bill Spencer), Heather Tom (Katie Logan), and Scott Clifton (Liam Spencer).
- Milestone: These episodes will be her 30th and 31st appearances on The Bold and the Beautiful.
"I shook the Big Brother 27 house with boldness, beauty, and a touch of betrayal. 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."
That quote is from Reilly to EW, and honestly, the energy-healer pivot fits that vibe way too well. Soap characters having second jobs is normal; soap characters cleansing your aura between drink orders is a delightful curveball.
Why this is a full-circle moment
Reilly has been a recurring face in the B&B world for years, which makes the 30th/31st episode milestone a fun bit of inside baseball. The character also shares her name, which always makes me do a double take when writing about her.
Meanwhile, in the Big Brother corner
If you somehow missed it: Reilly first hit Big Brother in 2010, came back in 2011 and won the whole thing, and returned again this year for season 27. Heading into the BB27 finale, she told EW she felt she played the strongest game among the jury and maybe even the whole season. Agree or not, the confidence absolutely carries over to this B&B comeback.
Bottom line: if you like your daytime drama with a side of crystals and cleansing, November is going to be your month.
