Here comes your sweet relief, Forrester fans: Dr. Taylor Hayes is finally returning to The Bold and the Beautiful.

EW has learned exclusively that veteran TV actress Krista Allen will assume the iconic role starting on Dec. 10. She fills the very big stilettos left behind by Hunter Tylo, who played the part of the psychiatrist who stole Ridge Forrester's heart from 1990 to 2019. Taylor's romance with Ridge was constantly tested by Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang); the love triangle turned into one of the daytime drama's biggest story lines.
