Five Things That Happened On August 30 In Soap History

In 2007, Heather Tom made her Bold and Beautiful debut as Katie Logan. Tom, who was already well-known to soap fans for her runs as Victoria Newman on Young and Restless and Kelly Cramer on One Life To Live, went on to win four Daytime Emmys for her work on B&B, bringing her grand total of statuettes to six. Upon marking her 15th anniversary with the show in 2022, Tom marveled to Soap Opera Digest, "I’ve been in the vortex of daytime since I started on Y&R when I was 15 and I remember we were talking about a three-year deal and I was like, ‘Oh, my God. Three years?’ And then I ended up staying there for 13. And when I did start on B&B, I only signed a six-month contract, so I wasn’t sure what was going to happen and then once I jumped in, I was like, ‘I hope this show goes forever and I hope I can be a part of it.’ It’s been a wonderful place to go to work.”
