Denise Richards tells all about her "wild" new The Bold and the Beautiful character, Shauna

Brand new The Bold and the Beautiful actress Denise Richards gives the lowdown on her first soap opera alter ego, Shauna Fulton, and reveals why she decided to join the CBS soap opera.

Popular actress Denise Richards made her debut on The Bold and the Beautiful this week in a scene that opens the door for all kinds of trouble: her alter ego, Shauna Fulton, was seen telling her daughter, Flo (Katrina Bowden), not to pursue her search for her real father. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of what's to come in the weeks ahead.

Richards spoke with Us Weekly to give a tease about her new B&B character, and while she wasn't able to spill too many details, she does reveal that Shauna "has a wild past, but a good heart. She was concerned about her daughter, so she's gone out to L.A. to check on her ... and some secrets are revealed."

As for what made the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star decide to sign on to a soap opera, she explains that, first and foremost, it was something new for her to try. And secondly, a close of friend of hers -- who just happens to be on B&B -- convinced her to explore the genre.
