'Big Brother' Winner To Guest Star In Soap Opera

Archive

Even dedicated “Big Brother” fans could be forgiven for having already forgotten that Drew Daniel was the $500,000 winner of the show’s recently completed fifth season. Daytime viewers will get a fleeing reminder when Daniel makes a guest appearance on CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful.”

In the episode airing Wednesday, Oct. 27, Daniel will play a reporter at a press conference. CBS publicity boasts that Daniel’s character will interact with dueling brothers Ridge and Thorne Forrester (Ronn Moss and Winsor Harmon).

Daniel will be the second competitor to visit a CBS soap. During the reality show’s summer run, houseguest Marvin Latimer lived out a dream when he won an audience vote to drop by “The Young and the Restless.” Latimer got to share a scene with Michelle Stafford and Christian J. LeBlanc, playing a gym attendant.

In that audience vote, Latimer narrowly defeated Daniel. The recent college graduate got a measure of revenge by outlast Latimer as well as “Cowboy” to win the “Big Brother” grand prize.
