The Bold and the Beautiful's Denise Richards advocates for soap romance

Her time on The Bold and the Beautiful is going splendidly, but there's one thing Denise Richards says is missing in her alter ego, Shauna Fulton's, life: a love interest!

They say love makes the world go around, and it's also the thing that Denise Richards says will keep her new The Bold and the Beautiful character, Shauna Fulton, sticking around.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star spoke with ET Canada about her soap opera gig and revealed that she's wishing for an on-screen love interest to shake up Shauna's life.

"I hope I get into a little romance... There has to be something!" she says before joking: "I just hope it's not with Quinn's [Rena Sofer] husband, because I'm her only friend!"

Other than her current lack of love in the afternoon, Richards says her time on B&B has been a wonderful experience.

"I love the character, and I'm having so much fun with the cast," she enthuses. "It's a very well-oiled machine at The Bold and the Beautiful, and doing a soap is different than anything I've done."

But is it something that she can see herself doing for decades on end -- or, as the interviewer puts it, from blonde to gray?

"I will never be gray!" Richards responds with a laugh.
