One of television's longest-running shows, The Bold and the Beautiful just dropped a major bombshell on longtime viewers: Xander Avant is returning to the series! Thanks to this newfound piece of the puzzle, fans have come up with a spicy theory that Xander dies on The Bold and the Beautiful.
What Does Xander's Return in The Bold and the Beautiful Mean?
Xander Avant (played by Adain Bradley) joined the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful back in June 2018, but his run in the series would eventually come to an end by August 2019.
Fans were sad to see him leave the show the first time around, but after a four-year absence, Xander returned to the show. A recent report revealed that Bradly will be reprising the role in the latest episode which premiered on Thursday, December 28th.
Despite some viewers having mixed feelings about the return of Xander, they remained all the more thrilled about the one possible reason behind his 2023 comeback: his revenge over Emma's death.
Why Do Fans Think Xander Dies on The Bold and the Beautiful?
So, why do fans think Xander dies in The Bold and the Beautiful? The character exited the series following Emma Barber's (Nia Sioux) death. For the uninitiated, Emma and Xander shortly dated in the show.
After Xander's ex, Zoe (played by Kiara Barnes), decided to break up their blooming relationship, Emma decided to back off for her own good. Unfortunately, this was not the end of Emma's misfortune after getting involved in Xander's life.
Emma's discovery of a particular truth sent her to her deathbed, which would undoubtedly lead to a trail to Thomas Forrester, aka the man behind her sudden death.
Considering that Xander has had a long-running dispute with Thomas for being his mortal enemy on the show, Xander is likely seeking revenge over Thomas' connection in losing Emma.
Fans believe that, while Xander's return could lead to executing his long-awaited revenge against Thomas, this will also mean we'll be witnessing him die trying.
