‘Bold and Beautiful’ star Sean Kanan recovers after surgery following what he described as a challenging six days in the hospital.

Sean Kanan Is on the Mend
While Kanan did not offer much detail on what happened, he did explain that an infection led to a surgical procedure. The actor took to Instagram on August 4th with a brief health update, writing, “After a challenging six days including spinal surgery to eradicate a blood infection, I’m leaving the hospital. Thanks to the incredible Doctors and staff @provsaintjohns. Life is precious. Now it’s time to make a movie! #FinalJudgment”
Stunned B&B co-stars reacted to Kanan’s post with surprise and well wishes. Darin Brooks, who recently returned to the soap as Wyatt Spencer, wrote, “Dude, what?” while Kimberlin Brown, who plays Kanan’s on-screen ex-wife, Sheila, wrote, “Damn! I hope all is well.”
The movie Kanan refers to in his post is Final Judgment, a thriller produced with Kanan’s wife, Michelle, and Mike Torchia, who announced the project on social media:
“Excited to officially announce my next film project, Final Judgment. I’m honored to be co-starring and producing alongside my talented partners, Sean Kanan and Michele Kanan, on this powerful new thriller.”
Kanan’s surgery comes soon after another post on July 27th in which the actor celebrates five years of being sober. In his message to fans, Kanan encouraged followers struggling with alcoholism not to give up.
“I’m putting this message out there for the people that are still struggling, for the people that think that they’re just never going to get it and that they can’t break out of the soul-crushing cycle of addiction,” Kanan said, adding, “My life has changed in magical and incredible ways through these last five years that I could have only dreamt of. I just want to say that if you’re struggling, you’re not alone. “Don’t isolate, don’t give up, keep trying.”
Whether Kanan’s surgery will affect his B&B schedule and air shows remains to be seen.
