Soap opera veteran Morgan Fairchild is opening up about her surprise return to The Bold and Beautiful for the first time in 17 years… and she’s not coming alone.
The 75-year-old actress is reprising her role as San Francisco socialite Dorothy, aka Dottie, who last appeared on the long-running daytime drama in 2009. At the time, she featured as the friend of the cast matriarch, Stephanie Forrester (played by Susan Flannery).
