With The Bold and the Beautiful now celebrating an incredible 38 years on air, the daytime drama has become more than just a TV show — it’s a legacy. Over nearly four decades, countless iconic characters, unforgettable plot twists, and emotional storylines have shaped the series into the cultural phenomenon it is today. But along the journey, the B&B family has also said heartbreaking goodbyes to beloved cast members who helped build its history.One of the most unforgettable was Darlene Conley, the woman behind fashion queen Sally Spectra. With her red hair, fearless wardrobe, and even louder personality, Conley stole every scene from 1989 until 2006. She passed away in January 2007 from stomach cancer at age 72, but fans still quote her legendary lines.Alongside her was Michael Fox, who played Saul Feinberg — Sally’s loyal right-hand man. Fox left the show in 1996 and sadly passed later that same year due to pneumonia and Parkinson’s complications.Another fan-favorite was Joseph Mascolo, best known from Days of Our Lives, but also unforgettable on B&B as Massimo Marone — Ridge Forrester’s biological father. After battling Alzheimer's, he passed in December 2016 at age 87.Other memorable names include Anthony Addabbo, who played twin brothers Johnny and Tony Carrera. His run was brief but memorable before his unexpected passing in 2016 at just 56.Comedy legend Phyllis Diller brought laughter as Gladys Pope, while soap alum Andrea Evans played Tawny Moore with delicious chaos. Evans passed in July 2023 after battling breast cancer.Even Hollywood royalty joined the show — Betty White appeared from 2006–2009 as Ann Douglas. She passed away just weeks before her 100th birthday in 2021, and the show honored her with a tribute episode.Other stars fans still remember fondly include:Jeff Conaway (Mick Savage), passed in 2011Robert Clary (Pierre Roulland), passed in 2022Fred Willard (John Forrester), passed in 2020Peter Brown (Blake Hayes), passed in 2016Leslie Woods (Helen Logan), passed in 2003Chris Robinson (Jack Hamilton), passed in 2025Perry Stevens (Steve Crown), passed in 2005Joseph Campanella (Jonathan Young), passed in 2018Michael Tylo (Sherman Gale), passed in 2021Kevin Dobson (Judge Owens), passed in 2020Austin Stoker (Mitchell Owens), passed in 2022Wink Martindale (Rev.
