\u201cIt\u2019s nice to be back,\u201d said Richards to the outlet. \u201cIt feels like I never left. It\u2019s such a great family environment, and I love my character. She likes to cause a little trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a preview, Richards, as Shauna, is seen entering Bill Spencer\u2019s (Don Diamont) office\u00a0at Spencer Publications, where she greets the powerhouse executive and his son, Wyatt (Darin Brooks).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Spencer men are so handsome \u2014 especially you, Bill,\u201d Shauna tells a displeased and shocked Bill. \u201cCongratulations, by the way, I heard about [your company], Logan. You are a real player in the fashion world now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, too bad things didn\u2019t work out with Eric Forrester,\u201d continues Shauna. \u201cKatie [Heather Tom] must be on the hunt for a new designer. Remember, Bill, I ran some very high-end boutiques in Vegas, and it just so happens I\u2019m available now. I can just imagine getting in on the ground floor of the newest game in town. Wouldn\u2019t that be something?\u201d<\/p>\n
Talking about bringing her character back to the Los Angeles-based set series, Richards explains that while it \u201ccan be very intimidating going into a set where people have worked together for so long,\u201d\u00a0that isn\u2019t the case with \u201cThe Bold and the Beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone\u2019s just very embracing and very supportive,\u201d Richards told PEOPLE. \u201cThe actors I was working with made it so much easier to step back in.\u201d<\/p>\n
Richards\u2019 return comes just as Brooks is also back at the show, something she welcomed. \u201cI loved that Darin was returning, too,\u201d the actress said. \u201cI like that with Wyatt and Shauna, our characters, we\u2019re light and fun, so we\u2019ll see where we go. A lot of times we have no idea what\u2019s going to happen, too, which is so fun getting the scripts every Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before making her soap opera debut on the long-running half-hour series, Richards was once up for a role on \u201cGeneral Hospital,\u201d though she didn\u2019t get the part as it went to someone else.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tested years ago when I first started acting for\u00a0\u2018General Hospital\u2019\u00a0and didn\u2019t get it,\u201d recalled Richards. \u201cI\u2019d had friends on soap operas and always thought it was such a great experience, no matter what level you are at in your career.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for joining \u201cThe Bold and the Beautiful,\u201d the former reality TV star (\u201cThe Real Housewives of Beverly Hills\u201d) remembered that before her initial run, she was \u201cterrified,\u201d but \u201cknew I had to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Richards went on to tell PEOPLE about the number of pages soap actors run through each day, which led to \u201ca little bit of a panic moment,\u201d though she credits former co-star Rena Sofer (ex-Quinn Fuller) for getting her through it after receiving a call from Sofer with words of advice.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe said, \u2018I know it\u2019s overwhelming. Don\u2019t think of it as you have all of these pages, think of it as one scene at a time,’\u201d recalled Richards of the conversation. \u201cAnd so I did, and somehow I was able to memorize all the pages.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, Richards speaks highly of the soap world, going so far as to tell \u201cevery actor [she encounters] they should do a soap at one point or another in their career, especially if they are starting out.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI love being on set and working with all different people,\u201d Richards says of her latest run at \u201cThe Bold and the Beautiful,\u201d and as a working actor, which allows her time to work on other projects, some of which will be announced in the near future. \u201cI\u2019ve always just had such a passion for it and glad I\u2019m still working. This is just a whole new chapter for me in general.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Beginning with the show\u2019s Thursday, May 28 episode, actress Denise Richards reprises her recurring role as Shauna Fulton…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":671562,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[292998,3599,292999,88,8902,34113,92],"class_list":["post-671561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-darin-brooks","tag-denise-richards","tag-don-diamont","tag-entertainment","tag-the-bold-and-the-beautiful","tag-the-real-housewives-of-beverly-hills","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=671561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/671561\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/671562"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=671561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=671561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=671561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
