Bravo to 'The Bold and the Beautiful': Why The Avant Family Is a Major Success
By Carolyn LeVine Topol

Bravo to CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful for recognizing that the addition of a new family on the scene does not have to take away from the show’s established families. Instead the new members of the cast add fresh twists and turns to the developing storylines.

Initiated by the front-burner storyline of supermodel, Maya Avant, born Myron (played by Karla Mosley), the Avant family was gradually introduced to the B & B’s California scene. By allowing the audience to get to know the first Avant newcomer, Nicole, Maya’s sister (played by Reign Edwards), the viewer was able to gradually learn Maya had a secret related to her past.

After learning the truth of Maya’s birth gender, Nicole and Maya began to refer to more family members the two left behind. However, the Avant family’s measured entrance onto the scene, enabled them to merge alongside the well-established Forrester clan without diminishing the importance of one of the show’s primary families.
