Pamela Douglas is a fictional character from the CBS soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful, portrayed by Alley Mills.
On November 30, 2006, Joel Keller from The Huffington Post reported that former Wonder Years actress Alley Mills had been cast in the "limited role" of Stephanie Forrester's (Susan Flannery) sister, Pamela Douglas.
[2] Pamela returned on January 11, 2007, after Stephanie invited her to LA and asked her to keep an eye on her husband, Eric (John McCook), while she was away.
Stephanie married Eric Forrester and moved to Los Angeles, rarely mentioning her sister and telling everyone that her parents were dead.
Pamela finally spoke up and confirmed the abuse, admitting she was too scared as a child to help her older sister.
Stephanie remained at odds with her family until Eric invited Pamela and Ann to Los Angeles for Christmas.
After Ann returned to Chicago, Pam stayed on in the Forrester guest house and took a shine to Eric, actively discouraging Jackie Marone's interest.
But Pam, who had a long-held resentment about Stephanie living the high life while she was stuck caring for their mother, started showing signs of instability.
Finding out that the dog actually died from a reduced dose of heart medication did nothing to quell Pam's hatred of Donna.
It was revealed that Pam had developed a mass of scar tissue on her brain after falling down the stairs running from her father as a girl.
Later, Pam supported Stephanie through a mini-stroke, and found brief fame co-hosting fashion talk show The Catwalk with Donna, amusing audiences with her "cat dance."
Pam roped Nick into appearing on Let's Make A Deal, and when Donna saw them together on the show, she realized Pamela had stolen the designs and went straight to Stephanie.
Pam flirts with the security guard of Forrester Creations Charlie Webber, later entering a romantic relationship and they are still together.
In 2022, Charlie Mason from Soaps She Knows placed Pam at #25 on his ranked list of The Bold and the Beautiful’s Best of the Best Characters Ever, commenting "We’d say that Alley Mills’ off-kilter alter ego was the antithesis of her ball-busting older sibling… except for the fact that, sans her meds, Eric’s sweet-hearted sister-in-law was the sorta nutso from whom you’d be reluctant to accept so much as a lemon bar.
