Phoebe Forrester

Phoebe Forrester was a fictional character in CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. The first actress to play the character on a contract basis was Addison Hoover, who joined the show in April 2005 and left just months later. Since July 11, 2006, Phoebe has been played by MacKenzie Mauzy.

In July 2008, Mauzy went on recurring status because she was cast in the Broadway musical, “A Tale of Two Cities”. She returned to Los Angeles in December for a few episodes before her character's death.

Biography
Phoebe is the daughter of Ridge Forrester and Taylor Hayes. She has a twin sister, Steffy Forrester, an older brother, Thomas Forrester and a younger half-brother R.J. Forrester via Ridge and Brooke Logan. Taylor's pregnancy was difficult since she had tuberculosis.

Storylines
When they were children, Steffy fell overboard during a family boat trip in St. Thomas and was presumed deceased from a shark attack. Two-year-old Phoebe didn't understand when her parents tried to explain that Steffy had gone to heaven. It turned out that Morgan DeWitt (who once had been forced by Stephanie Douglas to abort Ridge's child) kidnapped Steffy and tried to raise her as her own. Once Ridge and Taylor rescued Steffy, Phoebe and Steffy developed a close bond.

In 2002, after Taylor was killed in an altercation with Sheila Carter, Ridge remarried Brooke, who helped raise Phoebe and her sister. Everyone was stunned when Taylor turned up alive; Taylor's former husband, Prince Omar of Morocco had spirited Taylor away to his palace to heal her, planting a wax dummy in her grave. Phoebe's family was reunited until Taylor told Ridge that, long ago, she had slept with her friend James Warwick. After Ridge and Taylor's divorce, Phoebe and Steffy went away to boarding school in London.

In 2006, Phoebe returned to Los Angeles alone while Steffy stayed behind in Europe. Phoebe got a flat tire on the way to the birthday party of her Uncle Thorne Forrester's daughter, Alexandria Forrester. Thorne's wife, Darla Einstein, arrived to help her change it. But Taylor also came to help. Darla was killed as she fell into the path of Taylor's car. Taylor had been drinking. Phoebe was terrified to lose her mother again, so she convinced Taylor to keep it quiet. When the truth came out, Taylor was sent to jail, but Shane McGrath testified that he witnessed Darla's fall & Taylor was sent free. Phoebe and Shane briefly dated, but her attentions soon turned to Rick Forrester. Even though Phoebe and Rick weren't technically related, their close proximity within the family caused an uproar for the Forresters', especially Ridge and Brooke. Phoebe went on a business trip to Australia as the new "Face of Forrester" where Ridge exploded after finding Phoebe in a clinch with Rick. They continued to see each other although she was bothered by his past relationship with the worldly Ashley Abbott. Phoebe dreamed of becoming a singer and did some duets with Rick, attracting the attention of Constantine Parros. Constantine wanted to sign Phoebe to his label Boldface Records, but a jealous Rick balked. Phoebe and Rick drifted further apart as Rick accused Ridge of killing Shane, then shared romantic moments with Ashley Abbott. Although Constantine was interested in Phoebe and Rick wanted to make love to her, Phoebe rejected them both and went on a concert tour. Phoebe came home from touring and found Rick in bed with her mother who felt guilty. After a time, she came to accept the relationship, although it ended when Taylor told Rick that she would always love Ridge.

In 2008, Steffy (now Phoebe's fraternal twin) came home from London and was soon propositioned by Rick. She was appalled that Rick had made moves on both Taylor and her sister. Phoebe stormed into Rick's office and accused him of seducing all of them out of his lifelong hatred for Ridge. Rick got into his car to leave, but Phoebe jumped in with him, screaming at him, slapping him, and stomping on the pedals. Rick lost control of the car. Because Phoebe hadn't put on her seat belt, she was thrown into a ravine. A bloodied Rick interrupted Ridge and Brooke's wedding rehearsal for help. Ridge ran to Phoebe, who weakly sang the song she had written for him and then she died in his arms. Phoebe's death resonated especially deeply for Taylor who blamed herself and for Steffy who briefly entered into her own forbidden romance with Rick and never fully recovered from losing her sister.
