From there, he went back to daytime. He joined the cast of The Bold and the Beautiful as Dr. James Warwick in 1993; he left the show in 1998.

A rumor surrounding Ian Buchanan is that his soap opera leading man persona is all a ruse: supposedly, he is homosexual in real life. This rumor was started on Internet message boards: the evidence for said rumor is that he is best friends with fellow Bold and the Beautiful actor Susan Flannery, who is rumored to be a lesbian.
