The Bold and the Beautiful has brought Jack Wagner back as Nick, but it’s only a short stay. With fans buzzing about a possible General Hospital return, his future in soaps remains uncertain. Wagner’s Hallmark duties are the main reason this B&B run is just a nostalgic walk—for now.

The Bold and the Beautiful Return Was Always Meant To Be Brief

Jack Wagner made a splash on The Bold and the Beautiful as Nick Marone, reviving old flames and tensions. But his reappearance was never meant to last long. Wagner’s contract was short-term from the start, aimed at giving longtime fans a taste of nostalgia.

While viewers hoped for a bigger arc, Wagner’s scenes serve more as a special return than a storyline reboot. His dynamic with Brooke and Ridge stirred old memories, but the storyline seems ready to wrap. The show welcomed him back—but only for a visit, not a stay.

With Wagner leaving The Bold and the Beautiful, rumors are swirling about a return to General Hospital. He played the beloved Frisco Jones, and many fans would love to see him back in Port Charles. His ties to Maxie and Mac remain strong in the current storyline.

But as exciting as that sounds, Wagner’s next move is already planned. He’s heading back to When Calls the Heart, his Hallmark Channel series. This commitment is the real reason his B&B deal was temporary. At least for now, General Hospital isn’t in his schedule.

Still, Frisco’s return isn’t off the table forever. GH has a way of pulling legacy characters back in when fans least expect it. If the timing works out, Frisco might reappear when Hallmark filming wraps.
