After the demise of "Sunset Beach", Buxton joined the cast of the CBS soap opera "The Bold and the Beautiful". She was regular from 2000 to 2001 as the less than sane villainess Morgan DeWitt, and in 2005, she returned to that role. In addition, she played a minor character, porn star Crystal Chablis, on the soap opera "Days of Our Lives" in 2004. After returning to "The Bold and the Beautiful" in March 2005 and signing a year-long contract, Buxton's run ended abruptly after just one month. In 2005, Buxton was considered for the coveted role of Carly Corinthos on "General Hospital".
