The Bold and the Beautiful legend Thorsten Kaye (Ridge Forrester) and Rebecca Budig (Taylor Hayes) share a long history! It stretches all the
way back to their days as Greenlee and Zach on All My Children. Until recently, they had never shared anything close to a romantic storyline.
But that might change as Taylor and Ridge turn up the heat on B&B. Read on to know what Rebecca thinks about her equation with Thorsten.
“Don’t Tell Him I Said This!”
The Bold and the Beautiful actress opened up about their chemistry. She jokes, “I think we have it, but who knows if he’d say the same thing!” That easy banter shows just how comfortable they are around each other. This rawness reflects on their new roles, and we’re all for this will-they-won’t-they tension! In addition, Budig reminisced about her time with Kaye on All My Children.
She pointed how they never got to explore a real one-on-one connection despite bumping into each other here and there. “There were a few group scenes, but that was about it,” she laughs. For most of Kaye’s run on All My Children, his character Zach had the hots for Kendall (Alicia Minshew). Consequently, Budig and Kaye’s screen time together was limited.
FYI, Zach, and Greenlee did have a storyline together, but it wasn’t with Budig in the role. Yep, a different actress portrayed Greenlee during that period, making it a “near miss” for Rebecca and Thorsten. But the CBS soap has again brought them together. The B&B actress can’t help but gush about working with Kaye. She admits, “He’s truly the best, but don’t tell him I adore him!
I don’t want his head getting too big.” Isn’t that amusing and sweet? It shows that these two are not only fantastic co-stars but also genuine pals. Furthermore, Budig’s history with Kaye has made it easier to bring depth and nuance to their relationship as Taylor and Ridge. Their real-life friendship works its magic and makes their chemistry even more adorable.
Sparks will fly as Taylor and Ridge get more scenes together. Their pairing is just getting started, and it might develop into a passionate love saga!
