“The Bold And The Beautiful” Finally Serves Up Its First Gay Male Romance
The Bold And The Beautiful (B&B) is introducing its first gay male couple, with Harrison Cone joining the cast opposite Christian Weissmann’s Remy Pryce. It’s a first for the show’s nearly four decades, and the pair will also share B&B’s first on-screen kiss between two men.
Cone’s character name is under wraps for now, but he’s described as an aspiring designer tied to a major Forrester-adjacent figure. He debuts at Forrester Creations on Tuesday, 16 September, where his romance with Remy begins to unfold on screen.
B&B has featured queer stories before, including the show’s first lesbian couple in 2012 and Maya Avant’s groundbreaking transgender arc in 2015. This week’s storyline marks the first time B&B centres a male-male romance and shows a kiss between two men.
Who is Harrison Cone?
Cone’s credits span The Summer I Turned Pretty (as Davis), Hacks, and American Horror Stories, with earlier spots on Superstore and Stage Fright. B&B is his daytime debut, and his fashion-house entry is a neat fit for the show’s renewed focus on design and rivalry.
Who is Christian Weissmann?
Weissmann joined B&B in 2024 as Remy Pryce and is nominated at this year’s Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Emerging Talent in a Drama Series. Off-screen, he has published essays in major outlets and released the poetry collection Her, Him & I in 2024 through Simon And Schuster, exploring identity, intimacy, and recovery.
Expect the first meeting at Forrester Creations to set the tone: new romance, old loyalties and a design-floor shake-up. Executive producer Brad Bell has been teasing a return to fashion-first storytelling, so a designer love interest landing in the middle of the family business feels timely. Are we finally getting the messy runway drama and heartfelt romance B&B does best?
Cone’s first episode airs on 16 September, with the kiss teased for upcoming scenes. We’ll update as more details, including the mystery character’s name, become public.
