Oliver Jones is a fictional character in the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful.
Executive producer and headwriter Bradley Bell announced the casting of Zack Conroy as Oliver Jones in late 2009.
I look forward to seeing Zack bring this artistic and enthusiastic character to life.” Conroy began taping on December 10, 2009, and first aired on January 20, 2010.
[1] On April 5, 2013, a crossover event between The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless was announced involving Jones’ character.
In January 2010, Agnes is thrilled when her younger brother, Oliver, arrives at Jackie M. Designs to surprise her.
After telling her that he decided to relocate to LA, Oliver promptly lands a job at Insomnia Café as a DJ.
Just a few days after meeting, Hope's innocence is nearly shattered when she is drugged and almost raped by sexual predator Graham Darros.
After being rescued by her former stepfather Nick Marone and admitted to the hospital, Hope becomes even more smitten with Oliver after he shows up and comforts her with a teddy bear.
She makes it her goal to convince Stephanie to let her harass Brooke and enlists the help of her great-aunt Pamela Douglas to help with the assault.
It ends up failing, beginning what would be numerous failures by Steffy to lure Oliver away from Hope as well as get Brooke and her family, the Logans, out of Forrester Creations.
At one point she dresses up in sexy black lingerie and straddles him and tells him to leave Hope for her and she'll give him money and power.
At Whip and Taylor's wedding Steffy becomes furious at Oliver's obvious choice and pushes cake into Hope's face and walks away.
Oliver gave Hope a two-part Chinese necklace expressing their love and he wore one-half of it to the party and she was supposed to wear the other half but left it at the office.
Steffy starts to put two and two together and accuses Oliver of having sex with Brooke the night of the party.
Hope who still is a virgin comes close to having a nervous breakdown as she constantly imagines her mother and boyfriend having sexual intercourse over and over again in her mind.
Despite having singer and former American Idol contestant Jason Castro serenade her with a love song in order to win her back, Hope tells Oliver that it's over between them and gives him the necklace he gave her.
Unable to cope with his sexual misadventure with her mother, Hope dumps Oliver and starts dating Liam Spencer.
Liam leaves after seeing Steffy's seductive striptease routine disgusted and she smiles seductively thinking he opened the door to come back for more and she does a dance striptease routine to hip hop music in black undies and bra and tells him he can turn around in the company chair to get a full view and when the chair swivels she sees Hope.
Steffy's plan is similar to her grandmother's: to harass the girl about not giving up her virginity and once she does then Hope will be called the "slut of the valley" a nickname Stephanie Forrester nicknamed Hope's mother Brooke before and after Brooke lost her virginity to her son Ridge Forrester.
Oliver is now working for Forrester Creations as a photographer and is seen assisting with the campaigning for Hope's 'Hope for the Future' fashion line.
On January 22, 2014, while waiting for an elevator, Oliver told Maya (who is engaged to Carter Walton) how much he enjoys photographing her and the two kissed.
Aly said she doesn't like pictures of herself because she thinks of herself as average unlike the other beautiful Forrester women.
Ridge decided to take over Forrester again by firing Oliver because of his below average shots and tried to kick Rick out of his presidency.
Eric decided to side with Rick after Brooke meddled with the situation and Oliver was rehired.
Oliver revealed to Maya that he is only showing interest in Aly in order to solidify his position at Forrester Creations.
Maya played it for Rick and Caroline who tried to understand Oliver's side and confronted him, believing he has genuine feelings for Aly.
In 2022, Charlie Mason from Soaps She Knows placed Oliver as a "Bonus entry" on his ranked list of The Bold and the Beautiful’s Best of the Best Characters Ever, calling him a "Forrester photographer" who was "passed around like a hand-me-down sweater" and commenting on how he accidentally had sex with Brooke.
[3] In 2024, Mason placed Oliver and Hope 35th on his ranked list of The Bold and the Beautiful's 40 Greatest Couples of All Time, commenting, "You never forget your first love.
"[4] Mason also put Oliver's pairing with Aly 28th on the list and wrote, "At last, Hope's ex lived down the embarrassment of his masked hookup with Brooke... only for his innocent subsequent girlfriend to go bat-guano-crazy and get herself turned into roadkill.
