A new character will be introduced on "The Bold and the Beautiful." And as latest spoilers and updates suggest, he will play a pivotal role in Maya's struggle.
Transgender actor Scott Turner Schofield will reportedly join the cast as Maya's bestie, Nick, in the soap. His debut will air on May 8.
I'm Maya's best friend and I come from her world when she first landed in Los Angeles before she became the huge success that she is," Schofield told New York Daily News.
"We met in the trans community together. I'm her friend that comes in and kind of help remind her that she is beautiful and whole and authentic exactly as she is," he added. "And as things start to happen and discrimination mounts, she can stand strong in who she is and how she made the right choices for herself. So in that sense, it feels like playing myself in a certain way."
"It's going in the direction that transgender people can be happy about. And not only transgender people, but everyone who knows and loves a transgender person."
