In what appears to be a fight for the spotlight on “The Bold And The Beautiful,” Hunter Tylo and Katherine Kelly Lang reportedly feuded throughout the time that they both starred on the soap opera (via Celebrity Dirty Laundry). Their off-screen drama seemed to mirror their on-screen fights and was allegedly exacerbated by the departures of their fellow cast-mates.
Tensions rose once Ronn Moss left the show in 2012 due to medical complications (via Cheat Sheet). When Moss left, the woman exchanged some vague but seemingly hostile tweets, according to Daytime Confidential. In a short exchange, Lang tweeted “why don’t u talk to me?” Tylo replied, “yes- about what?” At the end of the exchange Tylo mentioned that the women were on the same team with a lighter energy, but the tension doesn’t appear to have totally evaporated with a tweet.
Their fellow cast-mate Susan Flannery was credited with quelling the drama between the two women. When Flannery left the cast, Tylo and Lang were said to have trouble keeping civil. Tylo departed the show for good in 2019, and her role was recast with Krista Allen taking her place. Though her reason for the departure was reportedly to do missionary work in another country, fans can’t help but speculate that the bad blood between the two had something to do with the change (via TV Line).
