The Bold and the Beautiful star Kiara Barnes will soon depart the CBS soap for a Fantasy Island. The actress — who is finishing up her last year as B&B‘s Zoe Buckingham — has been cast in Fox’s upcoming summer series, our sister site Deadline reports.

The contemporary, semi-anthological Fantasy Island reboot “delves into the ‘what if’ questions, both big and small, that keep us awake at night,” according to the official logline. “Each episode will tell emotional, provocative stories about people who walk in with a desire, but end up reborn to themselves through the magical realism of Fantasy Island.”

Barnes will play the series-regular role of Ruby Okoro, a terminally ill woman who is given a new lease on life by the island and Elena Roarke (who is a direct descendant of Ricardo Montalbán’s Mr. Roarke from the original show).
