Darin Brooks Is Returning to ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ — With a Special Guest
What To Know
- Darin Brooks is returning to The Bold and the Beautiful as Wyatt Spencer after a two-and-a-half-year absence.
- Brooks discussed with executive producer Brad Bell how to address unresolved storylines.
- Wyatt’s return is prompted by his father and will include a surprise guest.
Darin Brooks is officially returning to The Bold and the Beautiful two and a half years after exiting the soap opera — and he teased that he’s also bringing a special guest.
During an interview with Entertainment Weekly published on May 25, Brooks, who played Wyatt Spencer from 2013 to early 2024, announced his return while hinting at what’s to come.
“I spoke to [executive producer and head writer] Brad Bell, and Brad was like, ‘Yeah, let’s see if we can figure something out,'” he recalled. “He’s like, ‘We miss your comedy around here.'”
When Wyatt exited the Bold and the Beautiful storyline, writers “kind of just sent me off with the girlfriend and my sort of family, my other side of the family took off,” he explained. “But it’s always nice because in soaps, you can kind of do whatever. I know Days of Our Lives, there’s been characters killed off about 17 times and brought back to life.”
To bring back his character, Brooks had conversations with Bell about questions that needed answering for viewers.
“I’ve talked to Brad to say, ‘Hey, where do these pieces fit in? What happened to his girlfriend? Where is he coming from? What kind of state is he in?'” he told EW. “Is he coming back a single guy? Is he trying to figure his life out? Is he sad that he didn’t get to talk to his family for a long time? We got to hash out some of those details.”
Evidently, Wyatt returns to soap after his dad [Don Diamont] “forces him to come back to town.” Brooks shared, “Then we realize why he’s here and what he has going on in relation to the girlfriend, to Flo [Katrina Bowden], and to someone who is a part of his life, who also comes back with him.”
That’s when Brooks revealed, “I think you’ll see when we air as well, on the second day. He comes back to L.A. for a reason that his dad asks, but he comes back with a surprise guest.”

Honestly, I could care less about Flo. What I would love is for Sally Spectra to realize that after losing half of her company back to the Victor, and Jill pulling her backing out of Abbott communications, that she has salvaged enough capital to return to Los Angeles and revive Spectra Fashions. Or she could actually rebrand Abbott communications to Spectra Communications and go toe-to-toe with Bill Spencer, who sabbataged her efforts when she tried to revive Spactra Fashions. Then we can see if this new Bill Spencer nice guy holds up. Because he needs a formidable challanger.
