The mystery woman on The Bold and the Beautiful has been unmasked! As many fans suspected, she's Dr. Taylor Hayes, now played by four time Daytime Emmy nominee Rebecca Budig. There's been a mixed reaction as viewers rightfully wrestle with Krista Allen's departure from the soap and contend with yet another actress filling the role of the good doctor.

But, in all honesty, we're all also waiting to see if we're about to be put on the same ride we always are when Taylor comes back into the picture. Last time, while Allen's peformance was impeccable and she won skeptical fans to her side in a matter of months, we still wound up with Taylor licking her wounds after another failed reunion with Ridge and then a subsequent cast exit.

So here's what the writers should avoid so we don't once again land in the same place we always land with Taylor.
