It's a good time to be a fan of The Bold and the Beautiful. Hot on the heels of the news of that the show ended 2015 with strong ratings it hasn't experienced since 2007, one of the show's popular but rarely-seen-as-of-late stars announced that she's back to work at the CBS soap.
Heather Tom took to Instagram with a photo of her latest script and the caption, "Back @boldandbeautifulcbs working with the lovely @theedarinbrooks [Wyatt Spencer] #smile."
The multiple-Emmy Award-winning actress' reappearance onto the scene after being mostly absent for the better part of 2015 comes as no surprise to fans who've been tuning in to the series: a recent plot twist had Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) kissing Katie's husband, Bill (Don Diamont) -- which the publishing tycoon has kept secret from his wife. And, as frequently happens on soaps, it's only a matter of time before the explosive secret comes to light!
Though Tom hasn't spent much time in front of the camera recently at B&B, she has been active behind the scenes, having made her directorial debut on the series just last week.
