The year 2025 could usher in an exciting wave of The Young and the Restless characters crossing over to The Bold and the Beautiful. Over the years, we’ve seen Genoa City residents travel to Los Angeles for business, drama, and unexpected encounters. As the drama continues to unfold in both soap operas, here are three Y&R characters we would love to see make the leap to B&B this year!
1. Lauren Fenmore: A Businesswoman With Unfinished Business
Lauren Fenmore (Tracey E. Bregman) has long been a familiar face in The Bold and the Beautiful, with her many business dealings at Forrester Creations. Whether she’s checking out the latest collections for her boutiques or offering her insights into the fashion world, Lauren’s visits have always carried an air of high-stakes business.
With Hope (Annika Noelle) and Carter (Lawrence Saint-Victor) now in charge at Forrester, there’s a prime opportunity for Lauren to return. As the couple works to strengthen the future of Forrester Creations, Lauren’s loyalty will be tested. Does she stay true to her longtime friend Eric (John McCook) and Forrester Creations, or does she side with the new leadership and trust Hope and Carter’s vision? This dynamic would make for a compelling storyline.
And while Lauren’s in Los Angeles, it’s the perfect time for her to confront a nemesis from the past: Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). Last time Lauren was in town, Sheila was believed to be dead, but with Sheila’s shocking return, a confrontation between the two is long overdue. Fans would love to see these two powerhouse women clash once more, especially with the tensions running high.
2. Sally Spectra: A Fashion Comeback
The Bold and the Beautiful has always been a breeding ground for talented designers, and in 2025, Hope and Carter will be on the lookout for fresh talent to invigorate the brand. Enter Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope), the former Forrester Creations rival who made a name for herself before moving to Genoa City. Sally’s creations wowed everyone when she was at Forrester, and now, with Hope for the Future struggling, Sally could be the person to turn the line around.
Despite her solid life in Genoa City, Sally may be tempted by a job offer from Hope and Carter. With her fashion expertise and bold vision, she could bring much-needed innovation to Forrester Creations. The potential drama that would arise from her return—especially if she has unfinished business with the Forresters—could add a thrilling new layer to the soap’s already electric atmosphere.
3. Lucy Romalotti: A Teen’s Quest for Family Secrets
Lucy (Lily Brooks O’Briant), the troubled teen who is still grappling with the loss of her stepmother Heather (Vail Bloom), could find her world turned upside down when she learns the truth about her biological family. While she was raised by Heather, Lucy’s biological mother is Daisy Carter (Yvonne Zima), the daughter of Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). This revelation alone could be a game-changer for Lucy, who has no idea about her connection to the notorious Sheila.
Imagine Lucy discovering Sheila’s whereabouts and sneaking off to meet her long-lost grandmother. This interaction would send shockwaves through Lucy’s family, especially to her protective father Daniel (Michael Graziadei) and his ex-wife Phyllis (Michelle Stafford). Both Daniel and Phyllis could find themselves tangled in a B&B crossover of their own, adding a web of tension between the families. Fans are already eagerly awaiting this potential crossover, as the confrontation between Lucy and Sheila could bring jaw-dropping drama to both soap operas.
2025 promises to be an exciting year for crossovers between The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful. With characters like Lauren, Sally, and Lucy potentially stepping into the world of Forrester Creations, we can expect thrilling business maneuvers, emotional confrontations, and some family secrets that are long overdue for exposure. Whether for business or drama, these characters could elevate the stakes in Los Angeles, making the new year one to remember for soap opera fans!
