Ronn Moss is leaving \"The Bold and the Beautiful\" after more than two decades on the U.S. soap opera, producers said. Moss has played fashion designer Ridge Forrester since the show began in 1987. He is to tape his last episode Tuesday and the installment will air some time next month, EW.com said. \"Ronn has spent an amazing 25 years with \'B&B,\'\" a representative for Bell Phillip Television said in a statement. \"We will always consider him family, and we wish him only the best in all of his future endeavors.\" A show source told EW.com Moss opted not to renew his contract because of salary issues. The celebrity news Web site said Moss could not be reached for comment.
