*4/30/19 update: CBS has renewed The Bold and the Beautiful TV show for the 2019-20 season.
This soap should be cancelled. The writers are terrible and storylines are mean, cruel, totally unrealistic, and make NO sense! I quit watching or DVR-ing the soap when the mean, cruel, baby switch storyline went on and on with Hope suffering, crying, and blaming herself for the baby being “dead.” I am so sick of Steffy ALWAYS getting everything of Hope’s when she continues to get away with the most VILE and EVIL acts–such as stealing Liam over and over and preventing their wedding numerous times. NOW, after sleeping with Liam’s father, once again Steffy gets her baby and, of… Read more »
The baby take story is ruining this show. Whiles its possible they will go back up once the reveal is done, but at this rate, if they don’t do it soon. Nobody will be watching it or even care. 4% drop is huge for any Soap opera which are already on the ropes overall. I don’t want this to be cancelled but at this rate I don’t see a recovery from this and that is a very sad thing.
Bold and the beautiful need to be cancel. You’ll prolonged the story to damn long until we just give up on your show. Than it you all put people together that don’t belong together, tell where the hell it do that at. Fire the writer Law and order got all my attention.
Bold and Beautiful should not be canceled.The writers are creative and talented. I do believe it is time for the storyline regarding Hope to change to the positive and reconnect Hope with her baby soon.
I Agree 100% concerning Hope and Liam’s baby Beth being alive and returned to them. PLEASE DO SO SOON before you loose too many more want to be Fans of the show, enough is enough before another too crazy unrealistic story line comes out of this. Wake the young lady up from hitting her head from the push without being dead or having amnisha, and her mother put the gun away FOR PETES SAKE !! let her tell the truth so Hope and Liam can FINALLY AFTER HOW MANY YEARS !!!!! Be a Family with their baby Beth and if… Read more »
I am surprised usually, by the script writers, an exciting show…………………..but now…
keeping Hope’s baby from her…after carrying her, and hoping for the best in everything for Beth, this is the cruelest thing you writers have ever don.. its disgusting so cruel.. and despicable..you know you can rewrite anything..GIVE HER BACK HER BABY!!
NOW !!!!!! NOW!!!!! YOU CAN REWRITE YOUR WAY OUT OF ANYTHING..
Yeah it’s far past the time to reunite Beth and hope!!!!!! Please do it soon before I quit watching the show horribly it’s gone on too long already. And the Thomas and hope thing sucks, hope and Liam and Beth need together forever.
Please don’t discontinue my fav soap B&B. Also increase the air time to an hr too . Ty
My fav soap. Please don’t cancel it and please make it an hr show too.
Please don’t cancel this series. Its for years now I am watching it
PLEASE dont cancel Bold & Beautiful!! I Love this show!! I really would love to see it on for an hour long.
I love All the Actors and Actresses…I’ve been watching B & B since AMC left…I would Really Appreciate it if you left it on..Thank You..J.C.
IT’S please Cancel for me storylines are stupid and repeats over and over again. I hate that people would lose their job. Only thing I’m attached to is people I love and they die and B&B need to die as well. My opinion and my right …Not Up for Debate.
Please don’t cancel this show! I’ve never missed an episode and don’t know what I’d do without my daily “fix”!
love bold and the beautiful. should not be cancelled. getting tired of seeing sally and wyatt always in bed. don’t they know how to do anything else?.. tired of the plot in Hope not knowing her baby is alive
I have watched the show from day one but I stopped the day started baby story
I hate the baby story line. It’s not fair that spoiled Stephanie gets two baby’s and that baby is Hopes. It’s not right that Hope is suffering and grieving for her baby. I hope they don’t drag this out, I’m heard broken for Hope. Even if this is just a show, it models real life and it’s to much.
This soap has got to go!! The plot is ridiculous!! Anyone who is anyone could have seen the whole “baby” thing coming from the minute Hope planned a babymoon. Sometimes the story line moves so slowly the actors have on the same clothes for ten days of viewing. Other times, such as this baby stealing story, it moves more quickly but still remains absolutely silly. Would new writers help? Are there really any “new” ideas for a soap that has been on this long? Put it to rest CBS.
Well put, Kelly. I can’t believe that your comment was written in JANUARY and the interminable tedious stolen-baby story hasn’t moved an inch. What in the world is wrong with the writers? They used to have stupid stories, but they were kind of fun and would EVENTUALLY wind-the-heck up. Put the dang thing out of its misery.
