Krista Allen Leaving Bold & the Beautiful! Says She Was Fired!!
Looks like CBS has a lot of explaining to do about some unfair decisions their production team has been taking. First Y&R’s Doug and now the Bold and the Beautiful’s star Krista Allen is leaving the show? We hardly just got her and now we have to say goodbye. To know more about it, make sure you watch the video till the end.
Krista Allen (Taylor Hayes) is leaving Bold and the Beautiful
Krista Allen has been the perfect actor anyone could’ve asked for the role of Taylor Hayes. It was back in 2021, when Allen joined the recast of Dr. Taylor Hayes after Hunter Tylo made her exit from the Bold and Beautiful. From the moment she arrived on the screen, the fans have instantly loved her. I mean her dedication was out of his world. She didn’t rock a bad wig just for nothing. She did all those work at the beginning to make sure she looked like the character and now, the show is just ignoring all that.
When Allen joined B&B, she blended right in, so seamlessly and now after killing it for two years, she is being let go from the show. Can you believe it? She nailed her character, got an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actress, and now she’s out in the cold. Totally unfair if you ask us! She even attended the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards with a bittersweet feeling and who can blame her, right?
Hello #TeamTaylor
I miss you as much as you miss me (frfr!) and I love you so BIG!!!!!
You’ll never know how much I appreciate each and every one of you – or how much joy you give me – but, from the bottom of my heart … Thank you!

In an exclusive chat with Deadline, the 52 year old actress revealed that she was actually let go from the show back in October when she was told that her contract will not be renewed, which explains why we didn’t get to see much of her this year. While all the fans were demanding to bring back Taylor on the show and give her more screen time, behind the scenes, the show had actually kicked her off the boat.
“The craziest thing is right before I got dropped, I did the cast photo shoot, and then the next week they called and said, ‘we’re not going to keep your third year and thank you very much, you were wonderful and thank you, goodbye,” Allen said. This totally caught her by surprise and honestly, she even found it hard to believe. In another Interview with People at the award ceremony she said, “The contract was dropped, which is so crazy. It’s like, make that make sense.”
Krista Allen says she was fired
In this whole moment, the hardest thing for Allen to do was to stay quiet, she said to Deadline. When she got the boot she was like, “oh, okay, is the show going to announce this?’ but they never did. And then on December 10, just recently, it was Taylor’s two-year anniversary and Allen came back to twitter, “just to say thank you because there were so many congratulations and people saying, ‘I can’t wait to see you back on screen’ and ‘when are you coming back?’” But sadly, little did they know, she isn’t anymore. She’s leaving Bold and the Beautiful for real.
That’s not all. Turns out, they threw Krista Allen a bone, offering her a grand total of three lines in an episode, like she was an extra or something, at the end of November, after keeping her in the dark for months. But seriously, three lines? Talk about a low blow, especially considering it was supposed to be her grand exit as Taylor.
I mean, come on, that’s not a farewell; that’s just plain humiliation. They could’ve at least given her a proper send-off. But nope, three measly lines. The disrespect is real. So far, Krista has only appeared in about 20 episodes between the nomination and the day they gave her the boot. No big goodbyes, just Kimberlin Brown texting good luck at the awards.
She believes that nobody on the show knows that she got dropped because if they did, she would’ve heard from everybody. Plus, she didn’t tell anybody either so that’s that. “The most ironic part of it is that it’s like a real life soap opera. This is the Friday cliffhanger!” she said.
Where is Krista Allen now?
But B&B doesn’t define her, when one door closes, another opens right? It is a new day and she is excited for what awaits her in future. So, what was next for Allen? Well our favorite girl is moving to Atlanta, Georgia. And she said that she might dip her toes into writing instead of just reading pages too. Yup, Allen is thinking of writing a book.
“It’s based on a true story… About a woman who took over a role on a soap opera and against all odds ended up winning over a fan base and getting nominated for an Emmy,” she explained, adding that there’s also a lot of backstage drama involved. Sounds convincing right?
We wish Krista the best and our hearts go out to her. Let’s all show our love and support for her and whatever she will be doing from here and out. Do you think we will get to see her back on B&B again? Let us know your thoughts in the comment below.
