# List of The Bold and the Beautiful characters introduced in the 2000s

The Bold and the Beautiful is a long-running American soap opera which has aired on CBS Daytime since March 23, 1987. This is a list of characters that debuted in the between 2000 and 2009, in order of first appearance.

## Morgan DeWitt

Morgan DeWitt was portrayed by Sarah Buxton from 2000 to 2001, and again in 2005. Brought in by Brooke as a designer at Forrester Creations in 2000, Morgan had previously had an affair with Ridge in the 1980's. Meeting with Stephanie's disapproval, Morgan aborted the child at the time. On arriving in LA in 2000, she befriended Ridge's then-wife Taylor Hayes Forrester. Before long she confessed to Ridge about the 80's abortion, and soon after this it was revealed she wanted Ridge's child. While Taylor was out of town on a business trip, Morgan tricked Ridge into sleeping with her by faking an email from 'Taylor' signalling her approval for him to inseminate her.
Morgan was revealed to be pregnant in the months that followed, and tried to tell anyone who asked that she had been artificially inseminated. Along the way Morgan exhibited increasingly unhinged behaviour - trying to have her confidante Clarke Garrison killed with a python and vowing revenge on Stephanie for not only the 80's abortion, but trying to drug her while pregnant this time to have her miscarry the child.
Once Ridge learned of Morgan's pregnancy, he resolved to tell Taylor. Taylor then confronted Morgan at Ridge and Taylor's Bel Air mansion, where Morgan fell from the second level landing onto the marble floor, losing her child.
This only deepened Morgan's psychosis - she kidnapped Ridge and Taylor's young daughter Steffy and held her hostage as though she were her own daughter. With her hair dyed red, she renamed Steffy 'Stacey'. With the Forresters presuming Steffy dead (the incident in which Morgan had kidnapped her happened on a boat in St Thomas and she was presumed eaten by sharks), it wasn't long until Taylor twigged that something wasn't quite right. Visiting Morgan's home, Taylor heard Steffy and went to save her presumed-dead daughter, but Morgan imprisoned her as well, with the help of psychiatrist Tim Reid.
With Taylor now having disappeared and Ridge confused, Morgan began to move in and attempt to seduce her long-time unrequited love, but Taylor continued to leave small clues that undermined Ridge's trust in Morgan and left him wondering more and more about Taylor's whereabouts. Enough clues gathered for Ridge - including a rogue phone call made to him by Steffy - to realise where Taylor was. He drove his car into Morgan's home, rescuing his daughter and wife while Morgan escaped.
Weeks later, the Forresters held a party to celebrate Steffy and Taylor's safe return home. Hiring clowns to entertain the children, it would be little surprise to anyone that Morgan and Tim took up those roles to infiltrate once more. After the party had finished, Morgan hung around and attempted to drown Stephanie, the two trading several blows before Eric arrived to haul her off Stephanie and hold her until she was arrested by police.
DeWitt reappeared in 2005 after a disoriented Ridge arrived at Cafe Russe. After he collapsed in front of her suffering some kind of memory lapse, she took him back to her hotel room and ultimately off to Venice, removing his wedding ring (he had recently re-married Brooke Logan) and taking advantage of his memory issues by pretending they were together.
When Ridge's memory began returning and Amber Moore arrived - separately - in Venice, Morgan's plan unravelled, and with the arrival of her mother Natalie - a neurologist - it all came undone. Amber took Ridge back to LA to a waiting Brooke, while Morgan broke down and Natalie promising to get her the help she needs.

## Massimo Marone

Massimo Marone IV is a fictional character from the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. He was portrayed by Joseph Mascolo.
Massimo Marone attended college at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, with Stephanie Douglas, Eric Forrester, and Beth Henderson. Massimo dated Stephanie prior to her dating Eric, who was involved with Beth. Stephanie got pregnant and married Eric; Massimo went on to build the shipping conglomerate Marone Industries.
Massimo arrived in Los Angeles to expand his business and reconnect with Stephanie, who had stayed in touch with Massimo since her first divorce from Eric. Massimo ran afoul of Eric, co-founder of design house Forrester Creations, and denied Eric's contention that Marone Industries was linked to the mob. Massimo knew Stephanie wanted to be rid of Eric's ex-wife, Brooke Logan, who was now pursuing Stephanie's married son, Ridge Forrester; when Massimo blamed Eric for Stephanie's problems with Brooke, Massimo found Eric's fist in his face. Still enamored of Stephanie, Massimo offered to get Brooke out of the way; Massimo located Brooke's father, Stephen Logan, in Paris and paid Stephen $5 million to feign health problems in order to convince Brooke to join him overseas. Massimo gained an enemy in Ridge when his machinations were discovered.
Massimo and Stephanie reminisced about a final evening they'd shared before Stephanie married Eric. Massimo called 9-1-1 when Ridge confronted Massimo in his office and hurt himself badly, after which Stephanie began acting strangely. Massimo was stunned when Stephanie confessed that blood work revealed Massimo was Ridge's father, not Eric. Massimo was thrilled until Stephanie swore him to secrecy; instead, Massimo decided to groom Ridge, who was having problems at Forrester, to take over Marone Industries. To force Ridge into coming over to him, Massimo trained Ridge's half-brother, Rick Forrester, to compete against Ridge in the boardroom.
Massimo romanced longtime friend Sally Spectra to keep her from discovering Ridge's paternity, then told Stephanie if he couldn't have her, he would have Ridge. Massimo hired Ridge at Marone and made him his sole heir. Getting nowhere with Stephanie, Massimo met a mysterious woman in a bar and had a tryst with her, granting her request to take her out of the country. But Massimo got the shock of his life when Stephanie heard the woman's voice on Massimo's answering machine and realized he had been seeing Sheila Carter, whose extensive criminal history included trying to kill Stephanie. Massimo and Stephanie rescued Rick's wife, Amber Moore, who had been framed and kidnapped by Sheila to clear the way for Sheila's daughter, Erica Lovejoy, with Rick.
In Portofino, Italy, Massimo fumed over the growing closeness between Brooke and Ridge, whose wife, Taylor Hayes, had just died from a gunshot wound sustained by Sheila. Complaining to Brooke's daughter, Bridget Forrester, Massimo let it slip that Ridge was his son. When Bridget realized that she and Ridge weren't related after all, Massimo encouraged Bridget to pursue Ridge to get him away from Brooke; as extra insurance, Massimo tasked Brooke's ex-lover, Deacon Sharpe, with seducing Brooke away from Ridge. But after Stephanie tried to discourage Ridge and Bridget's burgeoning feelings by sending medical student Bridget away for education in Copenhagen, Massimo told an incredulous Ridge that Eric wasn't his father.
One of Massimo's tankers went aground, so Massimo went to Mexico to confront its captain, Nick Payne. Massimo met Nick's mother, Jackie Payne, and didn't immediately recognize her, but when Massimo saw that he and Nick wore the same signet ring, Massimo remembered having a fling with Jackie and found out Nick was his son only after Jackie admitted it during a plane crash. Massimo hired Nick at Marone and tried to get him interested in Brooke, who was reuniting with Ridge. Massimo had Eric removed by security guards after the furious Eric learned the truth about Ridge's paternity.
Bonding over Nick, Massimo and Jackie renewed their romance and got married. Soon after, Ridge was kidnapped; Massimo tracked him to South America and was shocked to find Ridge being held captive by Sheila. Before a mêlée ensued in which Ridge was presumed dead, Massimo was introduced to his apparent daughter with Sheila, Diana Carter. Massimo celebrated when Ridge turned up alive, but worried his family would be torn apart after Nick and Brooke's "grief sex" left her pregnant. Elsewhere, Massimo had his hands full with his rebellious nephew, club owner Oscar Marone, whose illegal business practices were responsible for the death of singer Macy Alexander.
As Massimo refereed his sons fighting over Brooke, Massimo became jealous of Jackie's friendship with Eric and hired Deacon to dig up dirt on him. Massimo then brought to town James Warwick, a psychiatrist friend of the Forresters, to advise Brooke in her choice between Nick and Ridge. Massimo began to suspect Jackie of having an affair and caught her on the phone with Deacon, so Massimo held a gun to Deacon's head, then hired him to find out who Jackie's lover was. On the day of Nick's wedding to Brooke, Massimo and Nick were arrested for bribing foreign agents based on information Ridge found on Nick's computer, but they were ultimately released for lack of proof.
When it came out that Ridge was the father of Brooke's baby after all – and that Jackie knew about it – Massimo served Jackie with divorce papers, but soon forgave her and bought her a chain of department stores, which he rebranded Jackie M. Massimo was about to make Deacon president of Jackie M when he learned of Deacon's affair with Jackie and suffered a stroke, rendering him unable to speak. Massimo plotted his revenge as Deacon, who believed Massimo was unaware of his surroundings, flaunted his affair with Jackie in front of Massimo and drugged Jackie to taunt him. After Nick arranged for Massimo to undergo experimental treatments utilizing electrical impulses, Massimo recovered and tormented Deacon with a gun, then laughed as he revealed it was loaded with blanks.
Massimo divorced Jackie, then spiked recovering alcoholic Deacon's drink as revenge, causing Deacon to fall off the wagon. Massimo supported Nick when he decided to move on with Bridget, then flew off to Italy to rescue Ridge, who had been kidnapped by obsessive ex-girlfriend Morgan DeWitt. Massimo reestablished a friendship with Jackie, but ultimately decided not to reunite with her. While standing in as a witness for Stephanie while she removed stocks from her safe, Massimo discovered paperwork that named Stephanie as the sole owner of Forrester Creations; Massimo contacted Genoa City billionaire Katherine Chancellor, who confirmed a trust established by Stephanie's father, John Douglas. Massimo was on hand as Stephanie kneed Eric in the groin for his deception.
Massimo thought he finally had a chance with Stephanie until she went back to Eric. After Ridge had a heart attack, Massimo changed his tune and threatened Brooke, warning her to steer clear of Nick, who wanted Brooke back. Massimo bribed Forrester secretary Megan Conley into helping him frame Jackie for tax fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering, then promised Jackie he'd clear her if she helped keep Brooke and Nick apart for Ridge. Massimo faced Nick's wrath after he caught Massimo and Megan conspiring together, and Massimo was removed as CEO of Marone Industries.
Massimo disappeared from the canvas after he and Stephanie failed to stop Nick's wedding to Brooke by publicizing nude outtake photos from her Brooke's Bedroom lingerie line. Though Massimo hasn't been seen since 2006, he is often referenced, usually to reiterate that Ridge is Massimo's son and thus not a Forrester.

## Antonio Domínguez

Kristen and Antonio were shocked to discover that Zende had been orphaned when both parents died of AIDS. Zende had lived at an orphanage with his younger brother, but sadly, his brother also died of the disease. To help pay his way, Zende worked around the orphanage and helped take care of the younger children. Kristen and Tony discovered when Zende became too old to live in the orphanage he would probably end up on the streets or working anywhere he could find work.
On their return to Los Angeles, Kristen and Tony admitted that Zende had never left their thoughts. They had both been drafting letters to send him. Since Antonio had been battling HIV himself, he felt a special connection to Zende; the couple saw this as the first chance to have a family of their own. They decided to rush back to Africa and start adoption proceedings immediately. They legally adopted young Zende, choosing to give him both of their surnames.

Beemer was dropped to recurring status in January 2012, but continued to appear up until February 29, 2012, when he left the show altogether.
Owen Knight arrives in Los Angeles in July 2008 to see a client of his, Marcus Walton. Marcus hired him from a want ad online to find his biological mother. Marcus doesn't really know Owen since most of their correspondence have been online. Owen meets Donna Forrester and is instantly attracted to her. Donna's stepdaughter Felicia Forrester (Lesli Kay) notices this and offers Owen $200,000 to seduce Donna in an attempt to get Stephanie Forrester (her mother) and Eric Forrester (her father) back together. He appears to be intrigued by the offer and tells her he'll think about it. However, after meeting Donna he becomes enamored by her love and devotion to Eric and comes back and rejects the deal. Felicia is outraged and outraged even more when Owen tells Donna what Felicia did. In response to this new information, Donna fires Felicia, Thorne and Ridge Forrester since she didn't believe she could trust them while her husband was in a coma. Felicia was outraged by Owen and slapped him for telling Donna her plan. The Forresters therefore, decide to make it their goal to get Donna out of their father's life once their father comes out of the coma. Owen was made Donna's assistant (detective and paralegal background), due to his growing admiration of her; and he encourages her to keep Ridge, Felicia and Thorne out of the company since she can't trust them. He works as a voice of reason to her. Owen is shown to be a dissembler, causing friction among the Logans and Forresters due to his influence over Donna. Despite their collaboration to find his mother, Marcus is starting to question Owen's motives in regards to his mother. He believes Owen is manipulating Donna and confronts his mother. Donna listens to her son and begins to question Owen. Donna starts to become suspicious of Owen also since he seems too good to be true and becomes concerned when he tells her he loves her. She and he share a few kisses and she decides that it's best if she lets him go. He agrees and leaves the company but doesn't leave Los Angeles.
It was later discovered that Eric didn't have a heart attack, but he had been poisoned with potassium chloride which had been put in a bottle of gin that Eric had a drink from before he had sex with his wife. Thanks to some detective work by step-siblings Marcus and Bridget, the truth came out, and it could well be Owen whom the suspicion could fall on. On August 22, Owen was arrested for attempting to murder Eric Forrester. He was almost the target of attack by Ridge and Thorne, and even Donna was angry with his actions. However, he insisted that he was taking the blame for someone else, that person being Donna, who was on the verge of being arrested until he lied and said he poisoned Eric Forrester. His suspicions were indeed correct when it was discovered that Donna's arch-enemy, Pamela Douglas (Alley Mills), was the one who accidentally poisoned Eric (in an attempt to stop the lovemaking between Eric and Donna; thinking this would lead to Eric returning to her sister Stephanie) and then saved her when she tried to kill her with a shotgun and a bear. Donna became more enamored by Owen's knight saving act and they commenced to kiss as Eric Forrester was awaking slowly from his coma. Stephanie and Ridge send Donna and Owen both on a trip after Stephanie catches Donna and Owen in the bedroom kissing. However, they haven't been officially intimate in spite of the appearance. Recently Donna and Owen returned from their business trip unaware that a recovered Eric is down the hall from Kristen's old bedroom. Owen commences to kiss Donna and get her to try to move on with her life without Eric. Eric hears noise and catches them kissing each other.
In light of Eric's recovery Donna tells Owen that she can't be with him because she loves her husband. He refuses to leave and tells Donna that he loves her. He grabs her into a passionate kiss to which she responds. Owen continues to be an ambiguous thorn in Donna's side. She loves her husband but Owen captivates her passions. After discovering that Owen attempted to sleep with Donna her aunt, Bridget Forrester walks over and throws a glass of wine in Owen's face. And then walks away to eat a salad while sitting outside at a restaurant. Owen confronts her and tells her that he really does love Donna and Bridget breaks out into a tirade about men not being able to keep it in their pants to which Owen replies okay, "She can be down on men." And "he can be down on women." He continues to flirt with her.
Later Stephanie confronts him at a restaurant and wants him to tell her that he had an affair with Donna to which he denies stating that it's not as if he didn't try hard enough, but that she really does love Eric. Donna catches this and assumes Stephanie and Owen plotted the seduction attempt. And she relays to him that she "never wants to see him again." Owen tries to attract Bridget, but nothing comes of that; however, he, along with Marcus and Pam Douglas, confront Rick on his attraction to Steffy. Owen, Pam and Marcus don't trust Rick, as they think he had a hand in her sister, Phoebe's death, and they, like her father, Ridge, want to protect Steffy.
Having been fired from Forrester Creations, Owen got a job at Jackie M Designs. He started a fling with Jacqueline Marone. He also was dating Bridget, but this was short-lived since Bridget was still harboring feelings for her ex-husband Nick Marone and got back together with him. Jackie and Owen also got together, much to the irritation of Nick, who was convinced that Owen was only interested in Jackie for her money. Nick tried his best to break Owen and Jackie up, and even managed to convince Jackie to fire Owen. However, Owen countered with a proposal of marriage, which freaked Nick out even more. Nick vowed never to let Jackie marry Owen. Eventually, Owen took Jackie on a surprise vacation in Hawaii, unaware that Nick and Bridget were honeymooning there. Owen planned a wedding for Jackie, but Bridget found out about it and told Nick. Nick tried to stop the wedding, but he arrived too late.
Later, Bridget and Owen have a one-night stand after she loses her and Nick's baby. Owen gets Bridget pregnant, but while Bridget is aware of this, she chooses to keep it a secret until Aggie Jones finds out, forcing her to tell the truth. Nick subsequently divorces her.
Bridget and Owen's baby was born in October 2010. Bridget confessed that she had fallen in love with Owen and wanted to start a family with him. Although Owen appreciated her honesty, he stayed true to his wife and again proclaimed his love for her, leaving Bridget heartbroken. Nick eventually fires both Bridget and Owen from Jackie M Designs, although he later hires Owen back.
Jackie eventually ended the marriage, realizing that Owen belonged with his family and sorrowfully asking him for a divorce. Owen asked Bridget to move in with him, but their relationship ended in February 2012, allowing Owen to return to his marriage with Jackie. Jackie and Owen later sold their house and moved to New York to be with Bridget and Logan.

## Casper Knight

Owen Knight's twin brother, who appeared in three episodes in 2009, was portrayed by Brandon Beemer.

## Janet Webber

Janet Webber, better known as 'Sugar', was a warden who aided Sheila Carter's escape from prison in 2003. She first appeared in Puerto Vista after Sheila had Ridge Forrester kidnapped.
After Sheila and Sugar escaped the foundry incident which saw Ridge presumed killed, they didn't show up again on canvas until 2005 in Genoa City on B&B's sister soap The Young and the Restless. Now portrayed by Kimberlin Brown (who also portrays Shiela), Sugar has had plastic surgery to look identical to her offsider and commits further crimes.
Sugar was locked up in 2006 and presumably remained behind bars until 2024, when she escaped, kidnapped and shackled Sheila in an abandoned warehouse, ultimately aiming to frame her one-time accomplice for the murder of Steffy Forrester. The plan backfired - Sugar was killed when Steffy retaliated in self-defence, plunging a knife into her chest. Due to their identical looks, the Forrester family presumed Steffy had killed Sheila, but were stunned in the weeks that followed to realise that Sheila was alive and it was indeed Sugar who Steffy had stabbed to death.
