Ronn Moss, aka Ridge Forrester, was a part of viewers’ lives for over 25 years after joining Daytime Soap Opera on The Daring and the Beautiful in 1987. His departure from the show in 2012 shocked audiences, who were bereft that the face of the longest-running soap opera would never walk the streets of Beverly Hills again.
From Soap Star to Chart-Topper: Why Ronn Moss Never Returned to The Daring & The Beautiful
While fans still held hope Moss might return to The Daring & The Beautiful, in 2014, the star revealed he felt betrayed by the show creator and vowed never to return to the soap that launched his profession.
The actor, who began his profession as a singer with the group Player, has kept busy since departing The Daring & The Beautiful in 2012. Moss appeared on the digital soap “The Bay” until 2020 and even recorded a rendition of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” which became a number-one hit in Belgium. Meanwhile, the show’s creator Bradley E. Bell recast the Iconic role with Thorsten Kaye.
Nevertheless, fans still miss their TV hunk who left the favored soap in 2012. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor revealed the actual reasons for his departure.
While confessing that he was asked to take a pay cut for the show, Ronn Moss said a horrific automotive accident was the actual reason for his shock decision. The actor revealed he and his wife Devin were involved in a severe automotive accident and saw it as an indication to do something else together with his life.
In a 2014 interview, Moss revealed he felt betrayed by creator Bell, who recast his role despite begging him to not achieve this. “The recast (Kaye) felt like a betrayal. For me, that was an indication of real disrespect. That was it for me. There isn’t any going back. I gave 25 years of my life to B&B, and that was enough,” he told Recent Idea in 2014.
