ACTOR Ted King is returning to The Bold and the Beautiful after years away from the show.
The soap star, 58, reprized his role as criminal defense lawyer Jack Finnegan in a guest appearance on Monday’s episode.
Ted, who also starred in General Hospital, last appeared on the CBS show in an episode that aired in June 2023.
After first appearing on The Bold and the Beautiful in 2021, he took a break from the daytime TV show to film the 2023 film Oppenheimer, which won several Oscars, including Best Picture.
During Monday’s special appearance, Ted’s character Jack had a falling out with his ex-wife, played by Naomi Matsuda.
Jack is also expected to appear in the episode airing July 12, according to People.
Ted teased his return to the show with an Instagram post on June 14, where he shared a photo at CBS Television City in Los Angeles – where the show is filmed.
“I love being back in this building where icons have walked the halls for years,” he wrote in the caption.
Ted’s return to the show comes after a fan-favorite character was killed off in a new murder mystery storyline on the show.
Tom Starr, played by Clint Howard, was poisoned in Monday’s episode, which led to his death on Tuesday’s show.
In the soap, Tom Starr questioned Poppy Nozawa, played by Romy Park, about whether or not he is the father of their daughter.
He thinks he is the father of Luna Nozawa, played by Lisa Yamada, but Poppy told him that paternity tests said otherwise.
Tom threatened to tell Dollar Bill Spencer, Luna’s current husband, which sent Poppy into a panic.
Just before the episode concluded, Tom left his blue cocktail out of sight before passing out.
Fans are now speculating about which character may have killed Tom.
Some viewers think the killer could be Li, Luna’s aunt, because of the way she acted during Tom’s death scene.
Other dropped names include Justin, Jack or Poppy.
