What happened to Diamond White’s character on The Bold and the Beautiful? Fate explored

Paris Buckingham's departure from The Bold and the Beautiful was low-key and final. Paris was portrayed by Diamond White from 2020-2024. The last time we saw Paris Buckingham was episode on July 9, 2024. In her final story arc, Paris left L.A. to start a new life in Europe.

Paris leaves the soap opera without a major catastrophe or a soap-like twist. Primarily, her leave signified shifting opportunities after her engagement to Carter Walton failed. Accompanied by a messy love triangle with Thomas Forrester and Hope Logan, Paris essentially had her back against the wall.

As there was no new front-burner story arc to keep Paris tied to the Forrester family or company, her character was simply going to slowly fade away, and so Paris's exit was created with very little drama (for now). Paris is said to be living overseas, and the show implied a pathway back for Paris in the future.

Diamond White's exit from The Bold and the Beautiful coincided with her blossoming animation and music career. So, in summary, Paris left for Europe, and Diamond White's contract expired on her exit from The Bold and the Beautiful.

Paris Buckingham: From Forrester Foundation to European farewell on The Bold and the Beautiful

In 2020, when Paris Buckingham arrived in Los Angeles, she was the bright-eyed little sister of Zoe Buckingham, daughter of Dr. Grace Buckingham and Dr. Reese Buckingham.

After a tumultuous first year caught in a love triangle with Zende Forrester Dominguez and her sister, Paris had an established character as a type-smart, self-assured, somewhat impulsive young woman with strong moral instincts.

She worked at the Forrester Foundation and modeled for Forrester Creations. Paris's romantic entanglements often drove her story. She was on-again-off-again with Zende, absorbed in an awkward crush on Dr. Finn Finnegan, and sewed the seeds of a relationship with Carter Walton.

She was even left at the altar by Carter when he stopped the ceremony to reunite with Quinn Fuller. Most recently, she recognized that her relationship trajectory was complicated with Thomas Forrester, with whom she became engaged while still in Paris.

Hope Logan's clear discomfort with the engagement caused some tension, but Paris was determined to move ahead. While she remained resilient and willing to work with the creative team, Paris slowly began to be relegated to supporting scenes as bigger plots took hold.

By the summer of 2024, writers wrapped up her story at her moving to Europe, which isn't particularly dramatic or traumatic, just a departure from Paris, who was once the central character of several big romantic storylines.

Diamond White's career growth beyond daytime TV

Daytime Diamond White’s exit from The Bold and the Beautiful links to her growing work outside soap operas. Diamond became known first as a fifth-place finisher on The X Factor USA in 2012, and she has compiled a professional resume as a singer and now voice actress.

While working on The Bold and the Beautiful, she also voiced Lunella Lafayette/Moon Girl in Disney's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, which received great reviews and reached a younger audience. In addition to voice acting, White has appeared in TV shows and films like Empire, The Lion Guard, and Tyler Perry’s Boo! movies. As of 2024, she continues voice work and is active in music and digital media projects.

Her voice performance as Moon Girl even won her an Annie Award, which reflects industry recognition in avenues beyond daytime television. It seems like White left The Bold and the Beautiful for career reasons related to wanting to pursue more options in animation, film, and music.

Fans can watch The Bold and the Beautiful on CBS.
