Colleen Dion-Scotti (also credited as Colleen Dion) (born December 26, 1964 in Newburgh, New York) is an American actress. She is one of the more notable character actresses on soap operas.

Apart from the smaller roles that have characterized her career, she is most known for her portrayal of Felicia Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful, a role she played from 1990 to 1992, in 1997, and returned from July to December 2004.

[edit] Roles

Dion-Scotti has appeared in a supporting capacity on several other soaps.

Search for Tomorrow (1985-1986: Evie Stone)
Loving
Santa Barbara in the 1980s
Another World (1993-1994: Brett Gardner)
Leslie Coulson on All My Children in a recurring capacity from 1999-2001
As The World Turns (2001-2002: Dahlia Ventura)
Guiding Light (2003: Ramona Hendon)

Bradley Bell asked Dion-Scotti to come back for a guest spot in the role of Felicia on B&B. One guest appearance led to another, and she was quickly integrated into the storyline, earning a place in the new opening credits even though her temporary contract ran out in late September 2004. She continued to work on the show even though her home is in New York City (B&B tapes in Los Angeles). Although she enjoyed being back on B&B the commute from one coast to another proved too difficult and she decided to exit the show in December 2004. The role of Felicia has now been recast with Lesli Kay.
