Morgan‘s first time back on the show is set for January 27th, where she’ll be joined by Jim J Bullock, who is also making his grand return to the show. He also hasn’t appeared since 2009, where he previously played a different character, wedding planner Serge. Now, he’ll play Dottie’s gem-inspecting assistant Joseph.

“We are having so much fun,” Morgan shared with Entertainment Weekly of their return. “We both like to do comedy and we kind of crack each other up. So while those poor people are over there having a dramatic scene, we’re over here in the corner laughing.”

“Dottie is still kind of the same!” she added. “In the first scene we have here, I’m coming in to check out the jewelry — as I would. So Jim as Joseph is giving me the heads up, like, ‘Oh, that’s fabulous,’ as only he can. So we’re having a lot of fun with it.”

Here’s an episode synopsis: During a special fashion show in a San Francisco hotel suite, Steffy Forrester and her cousin Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) are joined by Dottie, a wealthy San Francisco socialite, and her fabulous longtime assistant Joseph to purchase a Forrester original jewelry item. While Electra is impressed by Dottie and Joseph’s interest in a specific piece of jewelry, she learns that her boyfriend Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) and her frenemy Dylan (Sydney Bullock) will be spending time together.

Last fall, The Bold and the Beautiful featured their first ever gay couple!
