The Bold and the Beautiful (Page 16)

Almost a year after beloved cast member Darlene Conley passed away, the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful will honor the longtime actress with a special fashion event.

On January 12, John McCook, Winsor Harmon and Dan McVicar will head guests and attendees at a fashion show and auction meant to celebrate the life of their late friend.

The event will take place at the AAA Four Diamond Beau Rivage Resort & Casino in Biloxi, Mississippi.

Pieces from the wardrobe of Conley's character from The Bold and the Beautiful, Sally Spectra, will take center stage during the fashion tribute, and will also be auctioned off to benefit the Center for Prevention of Child Abuse (CPCA).

The affair, which is sponsored by Beau Rivage Resort & Casino, will include cocktails and hors d'oeuvres.

Tickets are available at the following prices: $300 Platinum inclusive of front row seats, complimentary champagne, a private meet and greet with The Bold and the Beautiful stars; $150 second row (limited number of tickets available),;and $75 for general seating.

Tickets are available through the CPCA.

We now take a break from delivering soap opera spoilers and news to provide fans of The Bold and the Beautiful with a couple cute pictures.

Sure, these photos of Winsor Harmon and Kyle Lowder are a bit old... but does that make them any less attractive?

Here's what you can look forward to on The Bold and the Beautiful this week...

• Nick (Jack Wagner) surprises Taylor with a special gift.

• Donna (Jennifer Gareis, pictured) shows Stephanie who's boss.

• Jackie makes a big splash.

• Stephen comes to the rescue.

• Stephanie (Susan Flannery) receives a disturbing gift.

Here are a few casting notes from The Bold and the Beautiful. All three of these actors will appear on the show on Thursday, November 1:

• Dan McVicar returns as Clarke.

• Mick Cain returns as C.J.

• Drew Tyler Bell (pictured) returns as Thomas.

Coming up this week on The Bold and the Beautiful...

• Eric delivers a shocking announcement to Stephanie.

• Ashley (Eileen Davidson, pictured) moves on.

• Brooke has something that Nick wants.

• The future of Spectra Fashion is decided.

• Will Taylor (Hunter Tylo) accept Baby Jack as her own?

Michael Tylo was remembered Friday by more than 200 family and friends at a Los Angeles memorial.

"He liked to make me laugh," Hunter Tylo told mourners at the Church of the Hills at Forest Lawn Memorial Park. "He had a beautiful spirit."

The Bold and the Beautiful actress also remembered the sensitive side of her son, who was known as Mickey and tragically drowned last week.

"He could identify people who were wounded and hurt," she said and People magazine reported. "There was a young girl in our neighborhood who was crippled and she used to take a walk at the same time each day and Michael would wait outside everyday just to say hi to her."

Many of the cast and crew of The Bold and the Beautiful were in attendance, including executive producer Brad Bell and actors Susan Flannery, Jennifer Gareis, Katherine Kelly Lang and John McCook.

The set of the soap was shut down for the day.

We didn't see this one coming:

The character of Jake Maclaine is returning to The Bold and the Beautiful. Moreover, he'll be played by the same actor who originated the role: Todd McKee.

We haven't seen Jake since 1993. He's guest starred over the years on shows such as CSI and 7th Heaven.

Now, viewers can look forward to watching him again during the day, beginning on November 14.

Mykel Shannon Jenkins has joined the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful in a contract role. He'll be portraying Charlie Baker, the son of Lt. Baker (Dan Martin).

Charlie has recently made detective rank within the police department and is introduced on canvas in the aftermath of Eric’s (John McCook) resurgence as owner of Forrester Creations and will be an integral part of  The Bold and the Beautiful’s hottest and most suspenseful story-arc of the year, according to the show's website.

Jenkins actually won the first season of I Wanna be a Soap Star, giving him something in common with this year's victor, Ashlee Holland.

Jenkins receives his big break as the host of New Orleans’ WB38 Kids’ Club, where he served as an on-air personality for more than four years, introducing kids and their parents to a world of knowledge.

The actor's first tape date was Tuesday, with  his first appearance on The Bold and the Beautiful scheduled for November 21.

We have a follow-up to the tragic story involving the son of Hunter Tylo.

The day he died, Michael Tylo Jr. was in town to visit his girlfriend, Stephanie Rivero and take one last high school exam.

However, by 11:55 that night, Michael was pronounced dead after his fully clothed body was found in the backyard swimming pool. The cause of death? Accidental drowning following a seizure.

"The last time I heard his voice was Thursday [October 18] around 6 a.m.,” Rivero said to Us Weekly. "I was going to come over, but he told me he was tossing and turning all night. He couldn’t sleep, and when he doesn’t sleep, he gets seizures. I told him I’d call him in an hour. He said, ‘I love you.’ And I said, ‘I love you too."

Sadly, these two never saw each other. As she relayed to the magazine, Rivero remembers Michael’s sense of humor most of all.

“He was full of life and so funny. He didn’t even have to try. He just was.”

Here's a sneak peak at what's to come this week on The Bold and the Beautiful...

• Nick begs Taylor (Hunter Tylo) to open her heart.

• Ridge learns the truth about Taylor's baby.

• Brooke gets a visit from an uninvited enemy.

• Katie (Heather Tom, pictured) and Thorne's relationship blossoms.

• Stephanie tries to plead her case.
