Jack Wagner will be returning to The Bold and the Beautiful to reprise his longtime role as Marone, Deadline announced on Thursday, April 10. According to the outlet, the actor has already begun filming again, with his first episode back scheduled to debut on June 13.
Wagner, 65, first appeared in the long-running soap opera in March 2003 before concluding his nine-year run in February 2012. He later reprised the role for the soap’s 35th anniversary special in March 2022.
According to Deadline, the character of Marone — who now runs Marone Industries — will be reunited with Katherine Kelly Lang’s character, Brooke Logan, who realizes her relationship with Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) may be “irreparably broken.” Marone’s return, of course, will bring back some “unresolved feelings.”
PEOPLE is out to CBS for comment.Two days earlier, on April 8, CBS announced that The Bold and the Beautiful has been renewed for three seasons. The show now will remain on the air through at least the 2027-28 season, with Bradley Bell as head writer and executive producer. It first premiered in 1987.
“Don’t know if you’ve seen the news but so excited to announce that we’ll be renewing 🥰💙🎉,” the series shared to Facebook on Wednesday.
While Wagner is well known for his work on the long-running soap, he’s also an alum of a handful of others. He initially made his debut General Hospital in January 1984 as singer-turned-spy Andrew “Frisco” Jones Jr., earning a 1985 Daytime Emmy nomination for outstanding younger actor in a drama Series. He appeared regularly on the show through 1995 before reprising his role for multiple episodes in 2013.
Wagner also starred on Santa Barbara as Warren Lockridge from 1991 to 1993 as well as Melrose Place at Dr. Peter Burns from 1994 to 1999. And after his gig on The Bold and the Beautiful, the actor shifted gears to When Calls the Heart on The Hallmark Channel in 2014.
Speaking with PEOPLE in March 2024, Wagner revealed what fans most often tell him when they approach him to take pictures these days. “The No. 1 thing women say is, ‘You don’t understand,’” he said. “I used to battle it, because it was so hard for me being in the music business and coming from a soap to be taken legitimately as a singing artist. It took time to let go of that, but now I embrace it.”
“If I can make someone’s day by going down memory lane, it makes my day,” he continued.
Back in March, Wagner appeared on the Still the Place podcast, when he told fellow Melrose alums Courtney Thorne-Smith, Daphne Zuniga and Laura Leighton that fans still recognize him as his General Hospital character decades later. “That was kinda my big break,” Wagner said at the time. “And that fan base of that soap opera is still there. You know, I still get called Frisco probably more than [anything else].”
