Whoa! CBS’ The Bold and the Beautiful has cast Kyle Lowder (ex-Brady Black, Days of our Lives) as the new Rick Forrester. Lowder reported to work on the B&B set last week, and he first airs on Thursday, Jan. 25, 2007. And happily, he’s on contract. Rick is the son of fashionistas Eric Forrester and Brooke Logan (John McCook, Katherine Kelly Lang). The character has recently been away on business in Europe. Rick returns to L.A. to support his daddy’s new fashion label, Forrester Originals. FYI, Justin Torkildsen played Rick full time from 2001 to 2004. He has made return visits during the last couple of years, but they’ve always been brief. Clearly, B&B chief Bradley Bell is now aiming for a more mature take on the character.

Personally I have not missed him on Days, so I am glad he is going to soap I do not watch.
