‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Adding 2 Big Celebrity Cameos Following Milestone Episode

The Bold and the Beautiful has plenty to celebrate this week! On Tuesday, April 18, the long-running CBS soap opera marked a major milestone when it aired its 9,000th episode. The standalone episode focused on fashion executive and heiress Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood), per Deadline. But the celebrations continue into Wednesday’s episode, when Lil Nas X and The Late Late Show host James Corden will guest star in a scene alongside B&B’s Annika Noelle (Hope Logan) and Sean Kanan (Deacon Sharpe). 

Lil Nas X makes his acting debut as a waiter in the Italian restaurant Il Giardino with Corden set to portray a bumbling busboy. The duo’s appearance on the CBS soap comes on the heels of their recent Carpool Karaoke segment, which aired in March on The Late Late Show and was taped in part on the B&B set with Noelle and Kanan.
