The Christmas Eve episode of The Bold and the Beautiful featured a trio of musical talents across the company of players and the entire episode was as though shot on the first take in real time. That’s old school, indeed, speaking of Grand Dude, the name Zende attaches to his grandfather Eric.

John McCook led the way with a self-accompanied Deck The Halls with the entire Forrester Christmas party joining in.

Next were two stirring solo performances. First, the blues-stylings of Kiara Barnes playing the character of Zoe Buckingham singing Jingle Bells, followed by the haunting and rhapsody-like rending of Silent Night as performed by sister Paris Buckingham.

The evening was rounded out by a reprise of Mr. McCook as Eric leading his entire company in Joy To The World on the piano.
