The Bold and the Beautiful has once again set the soap world ablaze with the latest casting news and swirling spoilers that hint at one of the most shocking character revivals in years.

For long-time viewers, the whispers surrounding the return of Jack Marone — the child born from one of the most scandalous storylines in the show’s history —

are enough to reignite memories of betrayal, heartbreak, and emotional chaos. And now, with a new face joining the cast, all signs point to his long-awaited comeback.

CBS has confirmed that Harrison Conn, a rising actor in his 20s, is joining the daytime drama. He will debut as an aspiring fashion designer at Forrester Creations on Tuesday, September 16, instantly tying him to the heart of Los Angeles’ most glamorous family dynasty. Fans are buzzing with speculation that Conn’s character may, in fact, be a grown-up Jack Marone — a name recently dropped into conversation on the canvas after more than a decade of absence. The timing is far too perfect to ignore, and the emotional fallout could shake every major family in town.

Jack Marone: A Child Born in Scandal

To understand the weight of this possible return, one must revisit the explosive backstory that made Jack Marone a walking powder keg of family conflict.

Back in 2006, Taylor Hayes was reeling from her painful breakup with Ridge Forrester — a split rooted, as always, in Brooke Logan’s interference. Seeking comfort, Taylor began a relationship with Nick Marone, a charismatic man already entangled in his own romantic web with Brooke. The two fell in love quickly and even married. But Taylor’s struggles with fertility led them down the path of assisted reproduction.

Enter Bridget Forrester, Nick’s ex-wife and their fertility specialist. Bridget created an embryo for Taylor and Nick using a donor egg. But in a devastating mistake — one of the most infamous blunders in soap history — Bridget accidentally used her mother Brooke’s egg.

The fallout was seismic. Taylor carried and gave birth to a child who was biologically Brooke’s. The revelation came during a medical crisis when baby Jack, born premature and suffering from a rare condition, required a bone marrow transplant. Desperate, Taylor sought out the egg donor, only to discover that Brooke was Jack’s true biological mother.

Taylor was devastated. Already struggling with postpartum depression, she now had to raise a child who was both hers and yet belonged to her lifelong rival. Brooke stepped in to save Jack’s life with a bone marrow donation, but her involvement only deepened Taylor’s emotional unraveling. She turned to alcohol and even considered handing Jack over to Brooke permanently. Nick, torn between his two great loves, eventually left Los Angeles with Jack, and by 2011, both father and son had vanished from the storyline.

A Legacy Child Resurfaces

Now, more than 14 years later, Jack’s name is suddenly back in the spotlight. During Nick’s brief return earlier this year, he mentioned that Jack had chosen to pursue a career in fashion — a detail that immediately raised eyebrows. Was this the writers planting seeds for a comeback?

Brooke herself revealed that Jack was thriving overseas, working at Forrester International in Paris. Ridge even chimed in on the conversation, confirming that Jack was happy and successful abroad. With this setup in place, the arrival of a young, talented designer at Forrester Creations feels far from coincidental.

And here’s where Harrison Conn comes in. Described as “a charismatic, stylish newcomer with deep ties to the fashion world,” his character’s debut instantly sparked speculation. Could Conn be playing a new love interest for characters like Remy Price or Luna Nozawa? Or is this a carefully orchestrated reintroduction of Jack Marone, now all grown up and ready to reclaim his place in Los Angeles’ tangled web of families?

Why Jack’s Return Would Change Everything

If Harrison Conn is indeed Jack Marone, the dramatic ripple effects will be monumental.

For Taylor Hayes, Jack’s return would reopen the most painful wound of her life. She struggled to bond with him as a baby, and if Jack harbors resentment over feeling abandoned, Taylor could face her son’s anger head-on. At a time when her own reputation and stability are shaky, this could break her wide open.

For Brooke Logan, Jack’s reappearance would force her to confront an uncomfortable truth — that she has a son out there whom she never raised. While she has always poured her love into Hope, R.J., and her other children, Brooke has never truly reckoned with the child who was biologically hers but emotionally Taylor’s. If Jack aligns with Brooke, it could reignite the decades-old Brooke vs. Taylor war, but this time with a living, breathing reminder of their feud at the center.

For Nick Marone, the storyline writes itself. Rumors suggest actor Jack Wagner could reprise his role for another arc. If Nick returns alongside his grown son, the Marone family legacy would once again collide with the Forresters, Logans, and Spencers. A corporate rivalry between Marone Industries and Forrester Creations could provide fresh layers of intrigue.

And for the younger generation — Hope, Steffy, Thomas, R.J., and Douglas — Jack’s arrival would be a game-changer. He is connected to them all by blood or family ties: Steffy and Thomas would see him as their half-brother through Taylor, while Hope would share a biological link through Brooke. These complicated dynamics set the stage for alliances, rivalries, and, of course, forbidden romances.

A Love Story on the Horizon?

Spoilers hint that Harrison Conn’s character may also be tied to Remy Price, signaling a potential new romance. Remy has been through his fair share of heartbreak, particularly in his obsession with Electra Forrester. If Jack enters as his love interest, it would be a groundbreaking moment for B&B — the first same-sex male romance in the show’s history.

This storyline would not only push the show into bold new territory but also tie into Jack’s identity struggles. After all, he is a character born of one of the most unconventional family dynamics in soap opera history. Exploring his sexuality, his search for belonging, and his place within the Logan, Forrester, and Marone clans could provide some of the most layered storytelling the show has attempted in years.

Another Legacy Child in the Mix?

Adding fuel to the fire, spoilers also suggest another newcomer, “Dee,” may be connected to Little Eric, the son of Deacon Sharpe and Becky Moore, last seen over 15 years ago. If true, B&B could be setting up a sweeping generational shift, bringing back legacy children who disappeared off-screen and now re-enter as adults with their own stories to tell.

The combination of Jack and Little Eric’s returns would not only thrill longtime fans but also create fresh dynamics for the newer characters, ensuring the show remains anchored in its rich history while pushing forward into uncharted territory.

What Comes Next

So, is Harrison Conn the new Jack Marone? All clues suggest yes. The name-drops, the timing, and the character description line up perfectly. And if he is, The Bold and the Beautiful is about to unleash one of its most explosive arcs in years.

Fans can expect family secrets to resurface, old rivalries to reignite, and shocking new romances to take shape. The Brooke vs. Taylor feud, thought to be buried, could roar back with Jack as the ultimate symbol of their decades-long battle. Meanwhile, Nick’s potential return would inject even more tension into the mix, especially if he and Taylor reconnect.

No matter how the storyline unfolds, one thing is clear: Jack Marone’s story is far from over. And with Harrison Conn stepping into the role, the next generation of drama at Forrester Creations may be just beginning.

Stay tuned — because in the world of The Bold and the Beautiful, history always finds a way to repeat itself, but never without shocking new twists.
