This week, the actress, who plays Donna Logan on the long-running soap opera, shared photos of her lake getaway on Instagram.

@kjswatersports are the best instructors in Tahoe!”
A scenic video showed The Bold and the Beautiful actress wake surfing behind a boat with mountains in the distance.
She was shown sporting a life vest as she let go of the rope and expertly surfed the wave the boat created.

BACK TO BOLD
Earlier this month, actor Ted King, 58, returned to The Bold and the Beautiful after years away from the show.
The soap star reprised his role as criminal defense attorney Jack Finnegan in a guest appearance.
Ted, who also starred in General Hospital, last appeared on the CBS show in June 2023.
After appearing on The Bold and the Beautiful in 2021, he took a break from the daytime TV show to film the 2023 movie Oppenheimer, which won multiple Oscars, including Best Picture.
During Monday’s guest appearance, Ted’s character Jack had a run-in with his estranged wife, played by Naomi Matsuda.
Ted teased his return to the show with an Instagram post on June 14, where he shared a picture at CBS Television City in Los Angeles – where the show is filmed.
“Love being back in this building where icons have roamed the hallways for years,” he wrote in the caption.
MURDER MYSTERY
Ted’s soap opera return comes after a fan-favorite character was killed in a new murder mystery storyline.
Tom Starr, played by Clint Howard, was poisoned in a recent episode, leading to his death.
On the soap, Tom questioned Poppy Nozawa, played by Romy Park, on whether or not he is the father of their daughter.
He thinks he’s the dad of Luna Nozawa, played by Lisa Yamada, but Poppy claimed the paternity tests said otherwise.
Tom threatened to tell Dollar Bill Spencer, Luna’s current husband, which left Poppy panicking.

Other names thrown out include Justin, Jack, or Poppy.
While Ted King returns and Clint Howard is out, The Bold and Beautiful cast underwent even more shake-ups as the kids of two soap stars joined the show.
Jim Belushi’s daughter, Jamison Belushi, joined the series as a lab technician named April in the July 17 episode.
