Reilly plays a character named none other than “Rachel” the bikini bar bartender who is now a spiritual healer, who has not been seen on the soap since 2014. This time around she’s sharing scenes with the likes of Don Diamont (Bill Spencer), Heather Tom (Katie Logan) and Scott Clifton (Liam Spencer).

On her appearances this week, Reilly told TV Insider of her connection to B&B, sharing, ” I’m a huge fan of the soap, I used to watch it with my nana – it’s her story. Everyone is so kind, and I feel like over the past 15 years, I’ve gotten to know the actors and everyone that works behind the scenes, so it’s just such a dream come true. I feel so grateful to be back on set and have had the opportunity to work with them again.”

As to how she wound up adding healer to her alter-ego Rachel’s resume, Reilly expressed: “Funny enough, I kind of channeled my inner Kaitlyn Herman from Big Brother. She was like an energy healer on Big Brother. So, I was just being very calm and really understanding the environment, picking up on the vibes as the Gen Zs say.”

Reilly is also coming off a return to the Big Brother house this summer, where she competed in season 27 of the hit reality-competition series franchise.  There’s even more projects ahead for Rachel. She’s filming a new movie, The Other Side of the Window, where she plays a red carpet host!

Rachel’s real-life husband is another Big Brother alum, Brendon Villegas and her sister, Elissa Reilly Slater, have also appeared alongside her on The Bold and the Beautiful. Rachel and Brendon met on Big Brother and were married in 2012. The couple have two children, Adora and Adler.
