Revisiting Denise Richards' Shauna on The Bold and the Beautiful
Shauna arrived on the soap in 2019 to help her daughter, Flo, uncover her paternal lineage. She was worried that Flo's romance with Wyatt could be incestuous due to the possibility that Bill Spencer was the father of both. However, a DNA test proved Storm Logan was the father, making Shauna happy to connect with the Logan sisters.
Later, she took advantage of Ridge Forrester's declining marriage to Brooke. Shauna's friend Quinn used a photograph of Brooke kissing Bill to push Ridge to leave his wife. When Ridge approached Shauna, who was in Vegas, she got him drunk, filed for his divorce, and married him overnight.
However, Katie learned the secret and exposed her. While Ridge went back to Brooke, Shauna covered up Quinn's affair with Carter Walton. While Brooke revealed Quinn's affair, the latter left town soon after. Meanwhile, Shauna's arc fizzled out as Flo, Quinn, and Zoe left the soap.
