The role of RJ was last played by Anthony Turpel, who appeared on B&B from 2016-18 and was the first to play Brooke and Ridge’s son as a young man after a series of child actors. The last time RJ was living in Los Angeles, he had a brief romance with Coco Spectra and tried to reunite his parents when Bill was in pursuit of Brooke.

With Brooke and Ridge now split up again, will RJ return from boarding school to make it his mission once again to bring his parents back together? Stay tuned to find out!
