Actress set to tape Bold and Beautiful scenes after 15 years.
Tanner Novlan has quickly made a home for himself at Bold and the Beautiful as Dr. John ‘Finn’ Finnegan in scenes opposite one of the CBS soap opera’s biggest stars, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy Forrester). However, due to Bold and Beautiful bringing in the actors’ spouses and partners to shoot kissing and close scenes, he’ll be appearing alongside someone else… his real-life wife. Kayla Ewell shared a photo of the happy couple on their way to the CBS Studios captioned, “When Mom & Dad get to work together.”
Longtime fans of the soap will recognize Ewell for playing Caitlin Ramírez from 2004 to 2005. The character was the son of Hector Ramírez (Lorenzo Lamas) and was in a relationship with Rick Forrester (Justin Torkildsen) and Thomas Forrester (Drew Tyler Bell). On Thursday
August 27, Ewell turned 35 and Novlan sent his wife a sweet birthday message, “Happy Birthday to the best wife, momma and friend.” Later, Novlan revealed how he kept a big secret from his mom, as well as a connection between the soap and a dog that the family had.

When not being a mom to their 1 year old daughter, Poppy Marie, Ewell can be seen as Nora Truman on Roswell, New Mexico and played the long-term role of Vicki Donovan on CW’s now defunct The Vampire Diaries.
So, with Ewell set to appear as a body-double, which will likely be for Steffy, things could be heating up between Finn and his patient very soon!

Tanner Novlan portrays the handsome and compassionate Dr. John “Finn” Finnegan on THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL. Finn becomes entangled in the lives of the Forrester, Logan and Spencer families while treating Steffy Forrester (played by Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) after she was involved in a motorcycle accident.
Novlan was born and raised on his family’s 3,500-acre wheat and canola farm in the small town of Paradise Hill, Saskatchewan, Canada. At 18 years old, he followed his dream to become an actor and moved to Los Angeles. While taking acting classes and going on auditions, Novlan modeled in print campaigns for the brands Guess and Tommy Hilfiger.
His television credits include “Roswell: New Mexico,” “Modern Family,” “Letterkenny,” “Rizzoli and Isles,” “Bones” and “Parenthood.” Novlan has appeared in the films “Flatbush Luck,” “Fallen Stars,” and “Ice: The Movie.” He is perhaps most famous for his role as “Bad Actor” in the very funny Liberty Mutual commercial.
Once or twice a week, Novlan plays hockey with a Los Angeles group informally called “Bad Boys Skate,” a collection of hockey enthusiasts.
By coincidence, Novlan’s wife, actress Caitlyn Ewell, was once a contract actress on THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL. Married since 2015, they share a daughter, Poppy Marie.
Novlan’s birthday is April 9. Follow him on Twitter @tannernovlan, Instagram @tannernovlan_ and Facebook @tannernovlan.
