The Bold and the Beautiful (B&B) spoilers reveal that a familiar face is headed back to the CBS soap. Cassandra Creech will reprise her role as Dr. Grace Buckingham during the week of September 30-October 4 – and there’s a good reason why!

After Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) regains consciousness following her collapse in the Forrester salon, Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) will interrogate her about what’s going on.

Since Taylor has been hinting about how life is short and precious, Ridge may think back to those clues and worry she’s sick.

Taylor will eventually confess that she’s dying and leave Ridge thrown for a loop.

Ridge will insist that can’t be right, but Taylor will offer updates on her doctor’s visit in Europe and how she was given a heart failure diagnosis.

Since Ridge just won’t want to believe that’s true, he’ll push Taylor to get a second opinion.

Taylor won’t see the point of letting another doctor tell her that she’s fading fast, but Ridge will feel like maybe there’s still hope for her future.

Of course, Taylor recently turned to Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) for a list of cardiologist recommendations.

It honestly doesn’t make sense for Taylor to push back on Ridge’s second opinion idea, but it doesn’t matter since he’ll get through to her anyway.

B&B fans will recall that Dr. Grace Buckingham is Paris Buckingham (Diamond White) and Zoe Buckingham’s (Kiara Barnes) mother, but she’ll be back in doctor mode this time around.

That’s not all that surprising since the last time Dr. Buckingham was seen on the show, she was serving as Katie Logan’s (Heather Tom) doctor as well.

In December 2022, Dr. Buckingham told Katie she was a walking miracle since she showed no signs of heart transplant rejection.

Will Dr. Buckingham have some good news for Taylor, too? Could Taylor have been misdiagnosed and actually have some hope after all?

The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers hint that Taylor will have her doubts about the diagnosis Dr. Buckingham offers, so she may not know what to believe anymore!

Our predictions point to some stunning developments in Taylor’s medical case, so stay tuned.
