Welcome to my Bobbie Eakes FanSite...
Bobbie Eakes joined The Bold and the Beautiful in 1989, and her character - Macy Alexander - soon became one of the most popular ones on the show. Before Bobbie joined the show, she was the lead singer of a pop band called "Big Trouble." She continues to use her talent for singing on and off the show. She and her former co-star Jeff Trachta have released two very successful duets albums and Bobbie recently released her first solo album.
This fan page is dedicated to this wonderfully talented actress and singer, and will give people all over the world a chance to read about her many projects.
This page is still under construction. Please return to this page now and then, to see which new features have been added. I hope you will enjoy your stay.
