“Dancing with the Stars” professional dancer Gleb Savchenko has landed a new role on the beloved daytime soap, “The Bold and the Beautiful.” And fans are already sharing their excitement about his inclusion in the show.
Gleb Savchenko Joins ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’
The news of Savchenko’s casting was confirmed by Us Weekly, which reported on February 9 that he would be playing the role of Alexei alongside dancer Marcquet Hill. The episode will air today, on Tuesday, February 10. In the episode, Savchenko will be dancing with Hill at a bridal shower for Daphne and Carter, played by Murielle Hilare and Lawrence Saint-Victor, respectively.
In his interview with Us Weekly, Savchenko revealed how the role came about. “It honestly came together very naturally and in the moment,” he said of dancing with Hill. “Marcquet and I built the choreography on the spot. We were feeding off the energy in the room, and everyone was fully committed, which made it easy to lean into a fun, high-energy disco vibe inspired by Saturday Night Fever. The goal was really simple: to walk in and instantly elevate the party. The reveal of the waiters turning into dancers really sealed the moment, especially because the cast didn’t see it coming.”
Savchenko spoke fondly of the role and how it felt comfortable for him. “I walked onto set and immediately saw so many familiar faces from ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ which made it feel like being with extended family,” he said. “I’ve worked with some of the crew for over a decade, so the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming and comfortable. It made the entire experience feel seamless and genuinely enjoyable.”
He also praised the experience of working with stars Hilaire and Saint-Victor, calling it “such a pleasure.”
