After a four-year hiatus, Denise Richards is returning to The Bold and the Beautiful as Shauna Fulton, and now the beloved actress is opening up about what it was like to return to the show she once called home.
Richards spoke with PEOPLE about returning to the beloved daytime drama after years away. “It’s nice to be back,” she said.
Richards joined the soap opera on April 4, 2019, as the mother of Flo Fulton, her daughter with Storm Logan.
For Richards, returning to the soap opera was an easy transition. “It feels like I never left,” she shared.
The former Real Housewife of Beverly Hills star added, “It’s such a great family environment, and I love my character. She likes to cause a little trouble.”
Due to Flo’s controversial storyline, which kept the baby swap secret from Hope and Steffy, Shauna’s entrance on the show was initially hard for viewers to connect with. However, with time and her friendship with Quinn Fuller (Rena Sofer), the character’s popularity grew.
Throughout her time on the show, one of Shauna’s biggest storylines was her divisive relationship with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye). After a drunken night in Vegas, the two married, but their union was found to be invalid because Ridge remained legally married to Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang).
Upon seeing a first look at Shauna’s return to the soap opera, fans took to the comment section to share their excitement. One user wrote, “I do like Shauna, she had a lot of potential, but they greatly wasted Denise the last time. Her and Ridge had a nice dynamic.”
While a second user added, “Wyatt and Shauna are back, no way. So happy.”
Viewers can catch Richards’ return beginning on the May 28, 2026 episode.
Brand new episodes of The Bold and the Beautiful air weekdays on CBS and stream weeknights on Paramount+.
Viewers can catch Richards’ entire original run on the official The Bold and the Beautiful app, BBTV, where the show has posted thousands of episodes from the series run, including exclusive behind-the-scenes bonus content.
