Entertainment Weekly is reporting Ronn Moss is vacating the role of Ridge Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Apparently Moss' exit comes amid tense contract negotiations. A rep for B&B confirmed the actor's exit stating:

“Ronn has spent an amazing 25 years with B&B,” a rep for Bell Phillip said in a statement. “We will always consider him family, and we wish him only the best in all of his future endeavors.”

And then there were three. Ronn Moss, who has played Ridge Forrester since The Bold and the Beautiful's debut in 1987, is exiting the show. A published report states that Moss opted to exit the show rather than take a reduced salary.


It's quite literally the end of an era for The Bold and the Beautiful. Ronn Moss (Ridge Forrester), one of the show's original cast members is exiting the show.


According to a published report, the exact reason for Moss' departure has yet to be determined.


"An insider tells EW that Moss elected not to renew his contract over salary issues," Entertainment Weeklyreported.


Moss, who is still recuperating from a recent car accident, could not be reached for comment.


"Ronn has spent an amazing 25 years with B&B," a spokesperson for The Bold and the Beautiful said in a statement. "We will always consider him family, and we wish him only the best in all of his future endeavors."


With Moss out, that will leave Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester), Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan), and John McCook (Eric Forrester) as the only cast members who have been with the show since its debut in March 1987.


On Twitter, Lang replied to a fan's disappointment with the news by saying, "I am crying, too! I hate this!"


Moss will shoot his final scenes for The Bold and the Beautiful on August 14, according to EW. Those scenes will air sometime in mid-September.
