Kristen Forrester Dominguez is the older daughter of Eric Forrester and Stephanie Forrester. At the show's beginning, she was portrayed by Teri Ann Linn. People magazine reported the character to be a "rich bitch". Of her casting, Linn said, "This is an opportunity I had to take". Meridith Brown, an editor of Soap Opera Digest, predicted that Linn would be a "breakaway star" and nasty characters like Kristen "are ones that become very popular in daytime."

Beth Logan



Beth Logan is the matriarch of the Logan family, and was a series regular when the series began. She was originally portrayed by Judith Baldwin from March 25 to June 1, 1987. After Baldwin left the role, Nancy Burnett began playing Beth from June 2, 1987, to September 14, 1988. Burnett briefly returned from December 22, 1989 to January 3, 1990 and again from March 2 to April 17, 1990. Marla Adams known for her role as Dina Mergeron on The Young and the Restless; her casting for the part of Beth was announced on November 24, 1990.

Upon the character's 2008 return, Robin Riker played Beth, who arrived with a "new personality". Riker's portrayal was met with acclaim; Tommy Garrett Canyon News named her "Leading Lady" of the week ending August 29, 2009, along with Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester), for their "Epic Battle". Garret said Riker "showed viewers that she is capable of high drama".
As a teenager, Beth fell in love with Eric Forrester (John McCook). However, another woman, Stephanie Douglas, manipulated Eric into marrying her instead. Beth then married Stephen Logan and they had four children together, including Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). Briefly, it was speculated that Brooke was the product of Eric and Beth's love affair decades earlier, however, it was confirmed that she wasn't. During her marriage to Stephen, he abandoned her and his children, leaving Beth as the Logan's sole provider. In 1991, Brooke married Eric, which upset Beth, who had remained in love with Eric throughout her marriage and break-up from Stephen.
Beth returns to Los Angeles in 2008 at the request of Nick Marone (Jack Wagner), because he thinks her youngest daughter, Katie, who recently had a heart transplant, needs her. Her family becomes worried about Beth's strange behavior. Beth eventually reveals to Katie that she has had several mini-strokes and is also in the early stages of dementia. It takes some convincing from her family, but Beth finally agrees to stay in Los Angeles and receive treatment from her granddaughter Dr. Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) and Dr. Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo). The treatment appears to be working. Stephen and Beth have also hinted at a possible reconciliation. After a long absence Stephen and Beth reappeared for Nick and Bridget's wedding and it was mentioned that they had been in Paris. Beth dies in the Forrester pool after a fight between her and Stephanie in 2010, devastating the Logans.




Helen Logan



Helen Logan was the matriarch of the Logan family, affectionately known as "Grandma Logan." She was portrayed by Lesley Woods from April 14, 1987 to December 27, 1989, with an appearance from January 12 to 17, 2001.
Helen Logan was the matriarch of the Logan family, affectionately known as "Grandma Logan." Helen constantly reminded her daughter-in-law, Beth Henderson, that her son, Stephen, had run off because Beth had never fallen out of love with Stephen's rival, Eric Forrester. Living alone, Helen one day opened her door to two men who robbed her and even took her most recent pension check. Afterwards, Helen was invited to move in with Beth and her children, Storm, Brooke, Donna, and Katie. Surprised when Stephen returned to reclaim his family – and unaware that Eric's jealous wife, Stephanie Forrester, had engineered it to keep Beth away from Eric – Helen joined Stephen and Beth when they moved away to Paris.
Helen was in attendance when Brooke married Eric's son, Thorne Forrester, in 2001. By 2003, Beth told Brooke that Grandma Logan had passed away.




Margo Maclaine Lynley


Margo Maclaine Lynley was portrayed by Lauren Koslow from March 23, 1987 to April 22, 1992, with a reappearance from October 31 to November 1, 2002.
Margo Lynley is a divorcée from Wisconsin who worked as personal assistant to Eric Forrester, head of design house Forrester Creations. Margo had a short-lived fling with Eric's son, Ridge Forrester, who wouldn't commit, which prompted her to confess to Eric she'd been in love with Eric for years. Knowing Eric was married to Stephanie Forrester, Margo offered to resign but was allowed to keep her job at Forrester, eventually being invited to join its design team.
Margo accepted the attentions of publishing magnate Bill Spencer Sr., keeping their involvement quiet since the Forresters hated Bill for trying to steal Thorne Forrester for his company and working to keep Ridge away from his daughter, Caroline Spencer. But Margo also began seeing designer Clarke Garrison, who was married to Kristen Forrester, and became pregnant. Margo hired attorney Storm Logan and threatened to sue the deadbeat Clarke if he didn't pay her $100,000 in child support. Margo delivered a boy, Mark; Margo asked Storm to be Mark's godfather and fumed when Clarke showed little interest in his son.
Hoping to sway Kristen away from Clarke, Margo tracked down Kristen's ex-boyfriend Mick Savage and brought him to Los Angeles, but the ploy didn't work. Though Margo was happy that Clarke finally acknowledged Mark when the infant was hospitalized with a fever, Margo finally gave up on Clarke and accepted a proposal from Bill. Margo designed the showstopper for a joint fashion show with competitor Spectra Fashions on the Queen Mary and was shocked to discover Spectra had the same showstopper, as Clarke had inadvertently copied Margo's sketch.
Margo intervened when young Felicia Forrester began dating tennis instructor Jake Maclaine, initially keeping it secret that Jake was Margo's brother. Margo felt Jake was bad news since he had run away from home as a teen and cut off their parents. After Jake refused her offer of $5,000 to leave town, Margo flew home to Wisconsin to question her parents, who assumed Jake was dead. Margo was stunned when Jake confessed that their father, Ben Maclaine, had molested him. Home to visit a gravely ill Ben, Margo saved Jake from being asphyxiated in the garage by their uncle, Charlie Maclaine, who had actually been guilty of molesting Jake.
Wanting a father for Mark but miserable in her marriage to Bill, who was angry she had kept her family problems a secret, Margo got to know Blake Hayes and freely talked to him about Forrester Creations, not knowing Blake was searching for information about Ridge because Ridge was married to Blake's ex-wife, Taylor Hayes. Margo and Blake embarked on an affair which Margo flaunted to Bill, especially after learning Bill was fooling around with Julie Delorean. Margo thought better of her involvement with Blake when he attacked Bill for catching them together, but by then there was no hope for Margo and Bill's marriage.
Margo was shocked when Jake confessed to stealing Forrester Creations' innovative wrinkle-free formula, BeLieF. Margo knew that Jake was trying to cover for his ex-girlfriend, Macy Alexander, who stood accused of the theft, so Margo asked Eric not to prosecute Jake, then returned to Wisconsin with her brother.
In 2002, Margo appeared via a flashback experienced by her grown-up son, now known as Mark Maclaine, who came to Los Angeles to confront Clarke; the recollection featured Margo advising Mark not to meet with his father. Margo has not been seen nor mentioned since.




Dave Reed


Dave Reed was a plainclothes Los Angeles police sergeant who was dating Brooke Logan, a college chemistry student. Dave encouraged Brooke to press charges when she was nearly raped by two thugs, then suggested, against the wishes of Brooke's brother, Storm Logan, that Brooke use herself as bait to put her would-be rapists behind bars. Dave was also on the case when Brooke's friend, Caroline Spencer, was raped by a different assailant, Ron Deacon.
Dave felt lucky to be accepted by Brooke's family, which included Storm, her sisters Donna and Katie Logan, and their mother, Beth Henderson. Dave proposed to Brooke and agreed to wait on a wedding until she had graduated and found a job. Dave was more amused than anything else when Brooke joined her mother, Beth Henderson, on a catering job and became fascinated with the rich Forrester family, who ran fashion design house Forrester Creations. Ultimately Dave received a shock when Brooke broke off their engagement and became involved with Forrester's heir apparent, Ridge Forrester. Dave then disappeared from the canvas and his whereabouts are unknown, though he was mentioned as recently as 2016 when Brooke and Ridge reminisced about their 30-year on-again-off-again relationship.

Ron Deacon


Ron Deacon was portrayed by Greg Wrangler from August 4, 1987 (episode 87) to November 13, 1987 (episode 158).
Ron is introduced as a customer of a restaurant named Cantina de Oro who takes an interest in Caroline Spencer.
Caroline Spencer and Brooke Logan are dining at Cantina de Oro one day for lunch when Ron is first seen as the bar. He notices and takes an interest in Caroline. He thinks about how beautiful she is.
Ron returns to the restaurant the same night and sees Caroline again. Ron orders a drink from the bartender, watches her, and thinks that she looks lonely. He contemplates how to first meet her. Ron walks by her table and spills his drink on her dress. He pretends it was an accident and grabs napkins to try and clean the mess. He offers to pay her cleaning bill, and she politely declines. She tells him to forget about the accident, and he thanks her for his graciousness. He enters the phone booth at the restaurant and pretends to make a phone call. He thinks that Caroline is more beautiful than a woman he knows named Roxanne. Ron ponders on a way to befriend Caroline. He walks over and offers to buy her another iced tea, and she accepts. He walks to the bar and thinks about how he has to be careful to get Caroline to like him. Ron returns with her drink, and she accepts his offer to sit with her. He asks if she's really mad at him for spilling his drink with her since she seems distant, and she tells him she has a lot on her mind. Ron continues to make small talk with her, and she admits she's having a hard time getting over a man. He tells her he works at a bank. They share their first names with each other, and he compliments her beauty. Ron tells Caroline he moved to Los Angeles from New York a couple of years prior with his ailing mother. He then tells her he dropped his drink on her en route to the phone booth to call his mother and let her know he would be late. When she compliments him on being a nice guy, he thinks to himself that it "works every time". Caroline decides to leave, and he decides to leave at the same time. She initially declines but then accepts his offer to walk her home since it's getting dark. He asks to pay her dinner bill if she won't allow him to pay her cleaning bill, and she eventually accepts.
Ron and Caroline leave the restaurant, and after walking some distance, he buys her an ice cream at a booth. He tells her that she reminds him of a woman he used to date named Roxanne. When Caroline asks what happened, he tells her it's a long story. They depart the ice cream booth and arrive at her apartment complex. Ron tells her that he does not trust hallways and says that his mother trained him to always escort a girl to her door. Caroline initially declines, but he talks her into it. They arrive at her door and exchange goodbyes. Ron walks away, and she unlocks and enters her apartment. Caroline attempts to close the door and notices his foot placed in the doorway. Ron claims he forgot to get her phone number, walks in, and closes the door behind him. When she backs away, he tells her not to be afraid. Caroline lies and says that she has friends coming over, but he reminds her that she said she was going to bed at the restaurant. Ron tells her she's going to ruin his visit if she's afraid. When Caroline asks about his mother, who he earlier said had dinner waiting on him, he tells Caroline his mother died over 6 years prior. Caroline begs Ron to leave, but he taunts her and tells her he has a knife that he hopes he doesn't have to use. Ron then rapes her and leaves.




Clarke Garrison



Clarke Garrison was portrayed from 1987 to 1992 and from 1996 to 2009 by Daniel McVicar.
McVicar describes Clarke as "the classic heel with a heart, a cad with a conscience". He is a former fashion designer for the now-defunct Spectra Fashions. Originally a student at Otis Parsons Institute the eternally ambitious character has always wrestled with the balance between ambition and questions of the heart. He has two sons, C.J. (Mick Cain) from his marriage to Sally Spectra (played by Darlene Conley), and Mark (Michael Dietz) from his affair with Margo Lynley (Lauren Koslow). He was also once married to Kristen Forrester (then played by Teri Ann Linn). Their relationship began when Kristen's mother, Stephanie (Susan Flannery), hired Clarke to seduce Kristen, fearing that her daughter was frigid. Clarke began to have feelings for Kristen and they married, before splitting later.
Clarke left town in September 1992, returning four years later to see his son, C.J. (then played by Kyle Sabihy). C.J. wanted nothing to do with his father, angry at Clarke for walking out on him and Sally. This changed when Clarke rescued him from kidnappers.
Clarke and Sally remained close friends; she affectionately called him "Bucky". He also shared a bond with Sally's former receptionist, Darla (Schae Harrison), who Sally thought of as a daughter.
After a disastrous flirtation with Morgan DeWitt (Sarah Buxton), which almost ended with Clarke being killed by a python, "Patsy", Clarke began to woo a recently returned Kristen (now Tracy Melchior). His attempts at seducing his ex-wife were unsuccessful, as Kristen moved on with Tony Dominguez (Paulo Benedeti).
Clarke's most notable lapse in judgement was in early 2005, when he reluctantly helped a vengeful Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz) trap Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss) and his stepdaughter Bridget Forrester (Ashley Jones) down a mineshaft in the hope that they would give into their "feelings" for one another, destroying Ridge's marriage to Bridget's mother, Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). Amber received the ammunition she needed, and she and Clarke escaped prosecution due to Sally's pleas for Stephanie not to press charges. It seems, however, that the Forresters have forgiven Clarke for this crime, as he is often present at their family gatherings.
Until recently Clarke worked at Forrester Creations, as the new head designer, after being hired by the new owners at that time, Nick (Jack Wagner) and Jackie Marone (Lesley-Anne Down). He was demoted to designer after Brooke returned to Forrester Creations and was made head designer. After Eric Forrester (John McCook) bought back Forrester Creations, he was under no obligation to honor Clarke's contract and Clarke was released from the company.
Not too long after Jackie Marone and Dominick Marone sold Forrester Creations back to the Forresters, Clarke found himself once again back at Spectra Fashions. Because the new owners of Spectra Fashions had gone bankrupt, the company was reverted to Sally Spectra. As she no longer wanted to run the business, Sally Spectra asked Clarke and their son C.J. to sell the business for her. Knowing Jackie and her son would be interested, Clarke made his way to their home. One thing led to the next and Nick purchased the company making Clarke their head designer. The company was later renamed "M Fashions". Clarke worked at Jackie M Designs, the company formerly known as Spectra Fashions.

Lt Burke arrives at the hospital after the attempted murder of Ridge Forrester at the Forrester mansion to ask Eric Forrester and Stephanie Forrester questions about the crime. Lt Burke asks Eric what happened from his point of view, and Eric explains that he was in the shower and exited to hear Stephanie calling out for him from outside. He saw her kneeling over Ridge's body as she screamed out for him to call the paramedics. He called them and then joined her. Eric explains that Stephanie saw more than he did. When Lt Burke directs his questions to Stephanie, she attempts to evade them, knowing that she witnessed Thorne Forrester shoot Ridge. She gives him a few details, and when she is asked about what she actually saw happen, she becomes irate and tells him her son could be dying in an attempt to get Lt Burke to back off.
