The Bold and Beautiful - the lesbian coming out scene

[@laminage]

The Blonde is Karen Spencer played by Joanna Johnson and The Brunette is Crystal Chappell who also played Olivia Spencer on Guiding Light. Crystal plays Danielle aka Dani who is Caroline's Other Mom. Joanna is Gay in Real Life and Crystal is a Lesbian Icon creating Two Websites Venice & The Grove. Joanna is also the Executive Producer of The Fosters A Show on ABC Family where a Lesbian Couple are raising A Family. Peter Paige (Ex-Emmett Honeycutt) Queer As Folk is also working on The Show.

@@soohyunkim678 You are quite welcome 😊

[@wavydezy]

Thanks so much for this info… I’ve watched 'The Fosters' and seen the name Joanna in the opening credits but for some reason never bother to look her up (but I know Peter bc of an interview I saw with him and Teri Polo when Fosters was still on), now I can match the name to a face… also I’m mind blown bc I didn’t know she knew/worked alongside the talented Crystal 😃 small world

After Guiding Light,Venice and now the Bold and the Beautiful Crystal Chappell will(although straight) forever be a lesbian icon.

[@laminage]

Yes. Another Soap Icon from the UK is Emma Atkins who has been playing Charity Tate on and off beginning in 2005 who had Two Girlfriends. Her ex is Zoe Tate a Vet, and her current Girlfriend Vanessa Woodfield is also a Vet but got suspended because someone stole from her office and she got set up.

She needs to come back to daytime, desperately. She's one of the most sorely missed stars.

[@justjewellent]

Lol right

[@laminage]

Also I was stunned to find out that Joanna Johnson and Susan Flannery (Ex Stephanie) were involved. Susan allegedly was involved with Writer/Actress Fannie Flagg who wrote Fried Green Tomatoes at The Whistlestop Cafe and was the Nurse in Grease.

Too bad B&B didn't give Karen and Danielle another story after Karen came out! I found Karen much more interesting when she returned years later than her initial run in the early 90's.

[@meerkat1226]

Great to see that B&B covers a whole range of social issues. Well done!! :)

[@ninajokelainen7620]

This gives justice from Joanna, I bet she refuse came back if she cant be what she is ,Good Joanna , This gives justice all lesbians on world.

[@shira400]

there are wrong. Ellen DeGeneres was the first actress and tv role and come out at the same time .

[@shaun3697]

Awesome!!!

[@SupportIRANplease]

The story is not anymore interesting and beautiful I loved Caroline in 1988, when she and Ridge were in love , it was the most beautiful and romantic episodes.... and i loved it a lot..... And I love to see that part of Ridge proposing to Caroline the 2nd time to marry him. It was the most beautiful and romantic and exciting episode and also a day before I've been looking for the 2 for a long time on KZbin, but unfortunately I couldn't find it It was in 1988

[@bennyalford5619]

What year was

[@Roni6269]

Why is a lesbian storyline so near and dear to her heart?

[@Nada07able]

Roni6269 She's a lesbian in real life.

[@laminage]

Isn't it cool. Linsday Godfrey plays Caroline who is Karen's & Dani's Daughter and in The Webmovie The Grove she plays Crystal Chappel's & Jessica Leccia's Daughter.

[@bbsdollsandtvarchive]

I can see Olivia Spencer ❤️

[@ake8203]

Who gave birth to caroline i think i missed that

[@laminage]

+AK E Karen is The "Bio" Mother but Dani looks out the Child as hers as well. Also, Joanna Johnson also works on The Fosters on ABC Family.

[@alixsb.6278]

What? She probably played gay after or before otalia?

[@justinoiler9749]

Ruby Rose & Justin pullin Amber tomsco

[@songriver1232]

Sucks they are no longer on the show all 4 of them

[@dominikamagdalena9638]

The actress playing Caroline and her twin Karen is even more beautiful as a middle-aged woman. She looks terrific. I can't believe she's gay in real life - attractive female homosexuals are scarce, unfortunately. Too bad I don't stand a chance with her. Joanna is so stunning! And I'm 35 years younger than her.

[@insanejane522]

Dominika Magdalena96 you must live in the middle of nowhere. There are tons of attractive lesbians!

[@davincent98]

I still see Crystal Chappell as Carly from Days of Our Lives.

Yes, another Icon was Leah Bracknell who played Zoe Tate on Emmerdale from 1989-2005 which is a UK Soap. She's sadly enough battling Stage Four Cancer. Her Character got Married in a Blessing. Anna Friel was also an Icon on another British Soap Opera called Brookside whose character Beth Jordache was involved with her Best Friend Margaret and this was 1994.
