The Bold and the Beautiful: First Look at Kelly Sullivan as Darcy Dylan
Kelly Sullivan is making her first appearance on The Bold and the Beautiful as Darcy Dylan, Dylan’s (Sydney Bullock) mom, on Thursday, August 27, and the show has now released the first photos of Sullivan in the role.
Meet B&B’s Darcy Dylan
The publicity shots B&B released are all from Sullivan’s debut episode and show Darcy folding laundry while chatting on the phone — presumably either with her daughter or a third party who has intel for her about Dylan. Darcy’s storyline will initially center on her arrival in Los Angeles as Dylan “finds herself caught in the increasingly tense conflict between the Forrester and Spencer families,” according to TV Insider, which announced Sullivan’s casting.
Sullivan’s arrival marks her return to daytime television after a decade away. The Daytime Emmy-nominated actress began her soap career on General Hospital, where she played polished fashion magazine editor Kate Howard and her brash alternate personality, Connie Falconeri, from 2011 to 2013. After Kate/Connie was killed off, Sullivan joined The Young and the Restless as Sage Warner, the mother of Nick Newman’s (Joshua Morrow) son Christian, a role she played from 2014 to 2016.
After her B&B role was announced, Sullivan shared her excitement about the new gig on Instagram. “I’m very excited to join the @boldandbeautifulcbs family and bring this force of nature to life,” she wrote of Darcy. Sullivan also thanked the executive producer and head writer of the show, Brad Bell, “for giving this amazing character to me.”
“I can’t wait to step into Darcy’s boots. 🥰” Sullivan added.
Her new TV daughter, Sydney Bullock, was among those who responded to Sullivan’s announcement in the comments. “YAYYYYY SO EXCITED MAMA,” Bullock wrote.
Now, viewers will get to meet Darcy when Sullivan makes her B&B debut on Thursday, August 27.
