The Bold and the Beautifuls Quinn actress Rena Sofer blasts show and insists she deserved bett
THE Bold and the Beautiful actress Rena Sofer has blasted the show for how they treated her after being part of the cast for nine years.
She has decided to leave the soap opera and her final episode as Quinn Fuller aired on Monday.
Rena joined The Bold and the Beautiful as Quinn in 2013 and continued in the role until her last episode arrived this week.
She confirmed she was leaving the show earlier this month and has now opened up a bit more about that decision.
While some of it stemmed from her desire to spend more time on other acting gigs, as well as her pottery business, another part of it stemmed from how she was treated on the show.
In an interview with Soap Opera Digest, Rena admitted she felt like she “deserved more” than what they were offering her after almost a decade on the show.

She explained that her contract ended in May, but she didn’t hear from anyone on the show about signing a new one until just before the July hiatus.
At that point, she claimed she was told that they had no idea what they wanted to do with her character, Quinn, and that they wanted her to continue on in a “recurring basis” while they worked on it.
Rena said this helped her choose to move on altogether, explaining: “I just felt like if my decision wasn’t set at that point, that kind of made it clear, that they just didn’t know what to do with Quinn.
She blasted: “I felt like I deserved more than just sitting around until they figured it out.

“Especially at the end of the whole [Quinn and Carter] ‘Quarter’ story; there was still so much to do, you know.
“I still wasn’t divorced from Eric, and Donna was still in the mix of that.”
After finding out that they were all on different pages, the actress “just felt like it was time to go.”
The actress is not the only one who felt she, as well as her character, deserved so much better.
After Rena’s final episode as Quinn aired on Monday, fans took to social media to slam the show for the “disrespectful” way they handled everything.
Soap opera characters often move to another town, are killed off, or are sent to jail when a cast member leaves, but none of those happened to Rena's Quinn.
Monday's episode was anticlimactic for her, as she simply enjoyed a romantic dinner date with her love, Carter (played by Lawrence Saint-Victor), at the office throughout the broadcast.
Fans were happy to see the pair having a sweet evening together, but they blasted the show over the lackluster end to Rena’s time on the show as Quinn.
One fan fumed: “So many in my mentions are either confused, angry or sad about Rena and Quinn's 'non exit,’ but unfortunately it tracks for this show.”
They added: “Shameful but not surprising”
A second slammed: “[Bold] is trash for sending Quinn off this way #BoldandBeautiful no explanation, no respect to give her enough airtime.
“I’m done with this show completely. Rena worked for you for 9 years but you give us the trash Shiela storyline. You should be ashamed of yourself b&b.”

A third upset viewer wrote: “Wait… was that Quinn’s last scene?! She’s happy with Carter and that’s it?
“It fades out like a dream. She’s just going to disappear?! I’m numb. This makes NO sense.”
