Massimo Marone
Massimo Marone IV is a fictional character from the CBS soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful. He was portrayed by Joseph Mascolo.
Massimo Marone attended college at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, with Stephanie Douglas, Eric Forrester, and Beth Henderson. Massimo dated Stephanie prior to her dating Eric, who was involved with Beth. Stephanie got pregnant and married Eric; Massimo went on to build the shipping conglomerate Marone Industries.
Massimo arrived in Los Angeles to expand his business and reconnect with Stephanie, who had stayed in touch with Massimo since her first divorce from Eric. Massimo ran afoul of Eric, co-founder of design house Forrester Creations, and denied Eric's contention that Marone Industries was linked to the mob. Massimo knew Stephanie wanted to be rid of Eric's ex-wife, Brooke Logan, who was now pursuing Stephanie's married son, Ridge Forrester; when Massimo blamed Eric for Stephanie's problems with Brooke, Massimo found Eric's fist in his face. Still enamored of Stephanie, Massimo offered to get Brooke out of the way; Massimo located Brooke's father, Stephen Logan, in Paris and paid Stephen $5 million to feign health problems in order to convince Brooke to join him overseas. Massimo gained an enemy in Ridge when his machinations were discovered.
Massimo and Stephanie reminisced about a final evening they'd shared before Stephanie married Eric. Massimo called 9-1-1 when Ridge confronted Massimo in his office and hurt himself badly, after which Stephanie began acting strangely. Massimo was stunned when Stephanie confessed that blood work revealed Massimo was Ridge's father, not Eric. Massimo was thrilled until Stephanie swore him to secrecy; instead, Massimo decided to groom Ridge, who was having problems at Forrester, to take over Marone Industries. To force Ridge into coming over to him, Massimo trained Ridge's half-brother, Rick Forrester, to compete against Ridge in the boardroom.
Massimo romanced longtime friend Sally Spectra to keep her from discovering Ridge's paternity, then told Stephanie if he couldn't have her, he would have Ridge. Massimo hired Ridge at Marone and made him his sole heir. Getting nowhere with Stephanie, Massimo met a mysterious woman in a bar and had a tryst with her, granting her request to take her out of the country. But Massimo got the shock of his life when Stephanie heard the woman's voice on Massimo's answering machine and realized he had been seeing Sheila Carter, whose extensive criminal history included trying to kill Stephanie. Massimo and Stephanie rescued Rick's wife, Amber Moore, who had been framed and kidnapped by Sheila to clear the way for Sheila's daughter, Erica Lovejoy, with Rick.
In Portofino, Italy, Massimo fumed over the growing closeness between Brooke and Ridge, whose wife, Taylor Hayes, had just died from a gunshot wound sustained by Sheila. Complaining to Brooke's daughter, Bridget Forrester, Massimo let it slip that Ridge was his son. When Bridget realized that she and Ridge weren't related after all, Massimo encouraged Bridget to pursue Ridge to get him away from Brooke; as extra insurance, Massimo tasked Brooke's ex-lover, Deacon Sharpe, with seducing Brooke away from Ridge. But after Stephanie tried to discourage Ridge and Bridget's burgeoning feelings by sending medical student Bridget away for education in Copenhagen, Massimo told an incredulous Ridge that Eric wasn't his father.
One of Massimo's tankers went aground, so Massimo went to Mexico to confront its captain, Nick Payne. Massimo met Nick's mother, Jackie Payne, and didn't immediately recognize her, but when Massimo saw that he and Nick wore the same signet ring, Massimo remembered having a fling with Jackie and found out Nick was his son only after Jackie admitted it during a plane crash. Massimo hired Nick at Marone and tried to get him interested in Brooke, who was reuniting with Ridge. Massimo had Eric removed by security guards after the furious Eric learned the truth about Ridge's paternity.
