Graham Darros

Graham Darros was played by Justin Baldoni in 2010. Executive producer and headwriter Bradley Bell announced the role in late 2009, describing Graham as, "a well-known fashion photographer who is hired by Steffy to work for Forrester Creations. It soon becomes evident that he has a sinister and mysterious past with another major character." He spoke of Baldoni as "a compelling young actor who will be able to bring forth the intensity that is essential for the character of Graham."^[1]

Beverly

Beverly was portrayed by Gina Rodriguez from 2011 to 2012.^[2] Beverly was named after Beverly Hills before being placed in foster care and is a friend of formerly homeless Dayzee Leigh (Kristolyn Lloyd). Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery), who befriended Dayzee on the street and bought the Insomnia coffeehouse for Dayzee to run, is impressed with Beverly's determination to make something of herself and convinces her family to hire Beverly as an intern at Forrester Creations. Hope Logan (Kim Matula) catches the inexperienced Beverly taking photos of Forrester gowns with her cell phone. Later, when the dresses show up on Jackie M's runway, Hope and Stephanie accuse Beverly of selling their collection to their competitor, prompting Beverly to run away. Stephanie's sister, Pamela Douglas (Alley Mills), the real thief, feels bad that Beverly is taking the fall for her. Jackie Marone (Lesley-Anne Down) affirms Beverly's innocence to Stephanie, noting that the intern had not worked at Forrester long enough to steal an entire line. Realizing their mistake, Stephanie and Hope track Beverly and Dayzee to a bus in Whittier; Stephanie stands in front of it to get it to stop. An angry Beverly dashes into a gated apartment complex, a transitional housing for kids who had aged out of the foster care system. Stephanie wears Beverly down by recounting her experience as an abused child, even admitting she had gotten pregnant and married Eric as a way out of her father's house. Beverly agrees to return to Forrester, then introduces Stephanie and Hope to other residents of the home. After meeting Rick Forrester (Jacob Young), Beverly gushed to Dayzee that he is "definitely into" her. Though a jealous Amber Moore (Adrienne Frantz) threatens Beverly to stay away, Beverly holds her own. She later stops appearing on the soap.

In 2021, Richard Simms from Soaps She Knows put Beverly on his list of the most hated soap opera characters, commenting that "Long before finding fame as Jane the Virgin, Gina Rodriguez played a young woman befriended by Bold & Beautiful's Stephanie Forrester. Beverly—who never got a last name—became the focus of a Afterschool Special social-issues storyline regarding kids who age out of the foster-care system before disappearing entirely."^[3]

He tells her that it was one of his mother's original designs and years ago he discovered it in a vault until she had decided to give to him. Wyatt later introduces Hope and his mother at Quinn Artisan Jewelers. Hope asks Quinn about the sword necklace, to which Quinn claims that she did indeed design the pendant, but possibly another jewelry designer had made a similar design to that certain sword, which is why Bill and Liam also wear the same sword necklace. Quinn becomes very uncomfortable with Hope's questions about the sword necklace and the Spencers. After Hope leaves Quinn tells Wyatt she is not right for him because of her high society family but Wyatt disagrees and continues to pursue Hope. Hope and Wyatt become friends and Hope arranges for Quinn and Wyatt to have lunch at a restaurant at the same time when Bill and Liam are there.

Quinn then begins a physical relationship with Deacon Sharpe, which eventually turns romantic. When Deacon proposes, Quinn begins to experience difficulties with Brooke over her objection to Quinn's involvement with Deacon. Despite Brooke's numerous attempts to split them apart, including calling upon Hope, Quinn marries Deacon at the Forrester beach house. Months later Quinn tells Wyatt that she and Deacon are separated because their marriage was doomed from the beginning since he's not a Spencer man, the only ones who have ever been able to truly capture her heart. Wyatt peppers her with questions and she says Deacon is a good man and that he went to Europe.

Quinn is later overjoyed to learn Liam and Steffy are done and tries to make sure Liam is truly done with Steffy. Liam faints from a concussion he previously suffered and Quinn drags him to his car and drives him to her remote cabin home to keep him away from Steffy. Over time, he comes to and, in order to keep him feeling safe, tells him they are a married couple named Adam and Eve Smith. While masquerading as his wife, Quinn truly opens up and falls in love with him while using his phone to further sabotage his relationship with Steffy. Deacon learns her secret and she enlists his silence and assistance.

Liam begins to remember who he is and goes home with Wyatt after they lock Quinn in a cupboard. Deacon comes back and gets Quinn out of the cupboard. Quinn is eventually arrested for kidnapping Liam, but he drops the case against her after realising that he has no case.

Quinn claims that her experience with Liam has changed her (as she opened up to him about being rejected as a child by her parents) and begins to secretly romance Steffy's grandfather Eric, despite Steffy warning Quinn to stay away from her family. Eric and Quinn's relationship progresses and they eventually tell their families, with Eric's children and grandchildren objecting.

Steffy slaps Quinn to the ground and warns her to stay away from Eric. Everyone returns to L.A., and despite objections from his family, Eric continues to romance Quinn. He asks Quinn to move in with him and they plan to get married. Thorne and Felicia come from Paris for the wedding, but Ridge and Steffy convince Wyatt and the Forresters to boycott the wedding in the hopes that Eric leaves Quinn. However, they get married, with Ivy being the only guest at the wedding.

He is taken to hospital and it is revealed that he suffered a brain aneurysm as a result of stress and an underlying medical condition. He is in a coma for a short period of time before recovering and returning home. During this time, Ridge lies to his family and pretends to have Eric's power of attorney, kicking Quinn out of the family and the Forrester estate. When Eric wakes up from the coma, he reveals that Quinn has power of attorney and kicks Ridge out of the mansion and fires him as CEO, appointing Quinn as interim CEO in his absence. Quinn leads a successful fashion show as interim CEO, and later convinces Eric to give the CEO position to Steffy in an attempt to reunite Wyatt and Steffy (who had gone back to Liam).

Shades of the old Quinn return when she has a fantasy in which she murders her new neighbour, and rival for Eric's affections, Katie. Quinn then begins to develop feelings for Ridge after he sees her naked and takes care of her when she injures her ankle. Quinn and Ridge attempt to keep their feelings secret but are exposed when Eric's ex-wife Sheila Carter returns to town and learns of their affair. Sheila tells Eric in an attempt to manipulate him into divorcing Quinn. While Quinn and Ridge end their affair, Sheila continues to reinsert herself into Eric's life, manipulating Eric to let her stay in the Forrester mansion after a fight with Quinn; ultimately, Quinn exposes Sheila's schemes and Eric sends her packing.

After a period of domestic bliss, Quinn's friend Shauna Fulton arrives in Los Angeles. When Quinn discovers Shauna's attraction to Ridge, she pushes Shauna to act on it to get back at Brooke.

Eric starts distancing himself from Quinn. She seeks solace from Carter and they eventually fall in love with each other. They are eventually discovered and despite initially angry about the betrayal, Eric asks Quinn to continue sleeping with Carter as he wants her to be fulfilled as Eric has erectile dysfunction and can't satisfy Quinn in the bedroom anymore.

Eric's family discover that Quinn is still making love with Carter and try to influence Eric to split with Carter. Quinn stops the affair with Carter and Eric forgives her but still their love life is not the same.

Eric starts having a secret affair with his ex-wife Donna Logan. Quinn is worried about Eric's health so gives him a tracker bracelet that monitors his heart beat. Eric is unaware the bracelet is able to transmit his heart rate to Quinn. While in the throes of passion with Donna, Quinn sees his heart rate escalate. She tracks him down and catches him in bed with Donna.
