Exclusive: Joanna Johnson Heads Back to "The Bold and the Beautiful" With a Big Surprise!

Fan fave Joanna Johnson is returning to the role of Karen Spencer on CBS' "The Bold and the Beautiful" in March — and she's not coming alone!

TV Guide Magazine has learned that Karen will be bringing along a daughter the audience never knew existed. The kid is named Caroline, after Karen's late sister (also played by Johnson), and she's a twenty-something design student who is hoping to land a job at Forrester Creations.

Karen brings her to L.A. for the interview.

Caroline will be played by relative newbie Linsey Godfrey, whose credits include "Wizards of Waverly Place" and "CSI: Miami".

Johnson, one of "B&B's" original cast members, only acts these days when paged by the soap. Now her claim to fame is behind the scenes, as co-executive producer and writer of the hit ABC Family series "Make It or Break It".

Prior to that she created the Kelly Ripa-Faith Ford sitcom "Hope & Faith".

So who's the baby daddy? Before you jump to any trashy, "B&B"-style conclusions, a publicist for the soap tells us Caroline's father is definitely not Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss), even though he had a thing with Karen back in the day.

The rep further reveals that Caroline — who uses the last name of Spencer — is not related by blood to anyone on B&B which makes her available to all the show's young men.

And get this: Even though Caroline's existence will come as quite a surprise to viewers, the "B&B" characters will act as if they already know her. Naturally, she'll get the job at Forrester — no suspense there — and control freak Stephanie (Susan Flannery) will invite the girl to live in her guest house.

For many of these sequences, "B&B" will shoot on location at the posh Beverly Hills home of the show's cocreator Lee Bell.

Look for Karen and Caroline to hit the air March 27 — just four days after B&B celebrates its 25th anniversary.
