B&B's Denise Richards "surprised" by Shauna's fate

The Bold and the Beautiful's Denise Richards opens up about how long she'll be playing Shauna Fulton and teases that a super shocking twist is coming her character's way.

Hold onto your hats because The Bold and the Beautiful's Shauna Fulton will be stirring up trouble for the foreseeable future. Portrayer Denise Richards says that she has no plans to leave the CBS soap opera -- especially now that something really big is on the way for her B&B alter ego.

In an interview with Australia's Daily Telegraph, the actress teases her upcoming storyline, sharing, "There's a surprise twist with my character that even I was surprised by. When I got sent the script, I [learned] a lot of things about my character. I was like, 'Oh wow, that's not what I expected!'"

Richards wasn't able to say more about what's in Shauna's future, but B&B executive producer Brad Bell teased to Soap Opera Digest that there's going to be friction between Shauna and Quinn (Rena Sofer) this November that leads to "a very unexpected twist" -- so fans might want to prepare for some epic catfights that might even put Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang) and Stephanie's (Susan Flannery) to shame.

As for her status at B&B, Richards says that she is definitely not going anywhere -- even though that wasn't her original plan when she joined the world of daytime.

"I originally signed on for three months but [eventually signed] a two-year contract after that because I loved it so much," the actress enthuses. "My character is so much fun to play. I love doing this show."
