Joanna Johnson returning to The Bold and the Beautiful

Joanna Johnson is returning to CBS soap The Bold and the Beautiful for several episodes later this month.

The actress will reprise her role of Karen Spencer for four episodes kicking off towards the end of July, reports TV Guide. So what brings Karen back to Los Angeles?  Well Katie Logan (Heather Tom) and Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) are renewing their vows even though they only married back in 2009.

“Katie calls Karen, who is coming to town for a Spencer Publications board meeting and asks her to come a day early but doesn’t say why. It’s a surprise to all the guests, including Bill, that Katie is having a minister come over to renew their vows. It’s the same minister who married them originally, and all the same guests” – Joanna Johnson speaking to TV Guide.

In recent years Johnson has moved away from acting and is now a writer and producer on ABC Family series Make It or Break It. However, for Bold and the Beautiful fans she’ll forever be remembered for her dual role of Caroline Spencer and Karen Spencer – twin sisters. Johnson was part of the original cast of B&B when it launched in 1987 in the role of Caroline who was engaged to Ridge (Ronn Moss). Johnson played the role of Caroline until the early 1990 and a year later took on the role of Karen Spencer.
