Hayes Finnegan, who is the son of John “Finn” Finnegan and Steffy Forrester, has been recast on the soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. He first appeared in 2021, with Samantha Worden originally portraying him. In the current narrative, there have been fewer scenes featuring Hayes, as the show’s main focus is on his stepsister Kelly, whose father, Liam, is struggling with a severe brain condition. Despite this, Hayes has re-entered the storyline and now appears to be older due to the recent casting change.
Here are details on who plays the new Hayes.
Who plays Steffy’s son Hayes in The Bold and the Beautiful now?
Steffy’s son, Hayes, is now played by Bryan David Garlick in The Bold and the Beautiful.
Starting August 2023, the character Hayes is being played by twins Alexander and Chase Banks. Soap operas often cast twins for child roles since they can only work a few hours a day. This allows for more scenes to be filmed without violating child labor laws or overworking the actors. Previously, Hayes was also portrayed by Iliana and Vienna Norris, Piper Harriot, but recently, the role was recast, with Garlick making his debut as Hayes in the June 12 episode.
Furthermore, characters in soap operas often grow up more quickly than real life, causing different actors to portray the same role. In soap opera lingo, this is known as SORAS (Soap Opera Rapid Aging Syndrome), which signifies the accelerated development of a specific character, particularly young ones.
Hayes’ storyline in The Bold and the Beautiful, explained
As a devoted gamer, I’ve been keeping up with the latest twists and turns in my favorite soap opera. Recently, I noticed that Hayes’ character hasn’t been getting much spotlight, with the narrative heavily revolving around Steffy’s daughter, Kelly. This had fans buzzing even more when Luna, Hayes’ stepsister, started making an effort to connect with their shared father, Finn. Now, here’s a plot twist – they share the same dad, making them siblings! It felt quite odd to me when Hayes was excluded from Luna’s current storyline. But now that he’s back in the picture, it seems like some of the fans’ questions are being addressed.
