*4/30/19 update: CBS has renewed The Bold and the Beautiful TV show for the 2019-20 season.
I have watched Bold and Beautiful since the beginning. Now it should be called stupid and ugly. I kept hoping it would get better. The worst writers I have ever seen. I totally hate how stupid you have made the Hope character. I can not watch any longer. Sound be canceled.
If they don’t reveal the secret and make the show more realistic the show will not make it. How stupid are they?? Get some new writers!!! Stop using the same nonsense of Steffens, Liam and Hope, enough is enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG how long is this going to go on with Hope, Liam and Beth – sooooooooooooooooooooo ridiculous, it just keeps dragging on and on and on – I don’t believe it – enough is enough and move on with the story!!!
Does the writers of the B&B even care what the viewer’s think about this story line anyway? I know a lot of viewers have left the show because they have dragged this out way to long. Just curious!
I’m leaving bold and beautiful the story line with hope and Thomas liam and steffy. It’s an insult.
Yep it’s getting old Steffy Liam hope then Hope Liam steffy
I am losing interest with the baby story line. Just Please give Hope her baby back. It seems like the Forrester get everything they want and everyone else suffers. The writers need to go to a new page already.
Yep give the baby back I knew something would stop sundae so predictable
A formerly repped writer suggests changes to story line, pace and recurring characters.
As a former repped writer I suggest minor cast changes, but major changes in pace and story-line.
I stop watching months ago just check in to see if the baby story is over. I Personally think Bold and Beautiful should end right along with the rest of the soaps, put some Broadway and movies in the soaps place. Time to retired them all with the same storylines over and over again. I am sorry actors on soaps you need new jobs. Not up for debate.
This storyline is completely in bad taste as face it there are people that have lost their children they don’t need to be ranked reminded about on TV shame on you for dragging this out so long I to maybe watch it once a week If you want to depress before you would be if you continue to watch the soap opera of the bold and beautiful
The Bold and The Beautiful is dragging the Hope & lost child story on WAY TOO LONG! It has become boring & I no longer watch more than once a week.
Yikes! This show has gotten painfully bad. I can’t stand it anymore with this stupid “Hope’s Baby” story and the creepy Thomas. Put it put of its misery.
The present story line concerning Hope has gotten really annoying, and has taken away my interest in the show. I think it is time to wrap up this show, as the writers just keep rehashing the same plots over and over through the years.
Probably going to quit watching. I hate to but I can’t stand it that Hope and Liam couldn’t have had one good little boy of time with their baby. I was really looking forward to that story line no matter how short lived. It’s really sickening. And now even worse with sick character of Thomas. Not sure how much more I will spend time on this show. I’ve been a long time viewer.
Me too am tired of the baby plot. Most irritating how dumb and clueless Flo , [and recently her mum] are. Why would she announce to Zoe that she needs to tell Hope the truth about Beth?
I have quit watching altogether. Once in a while, I check online to see if Hope got Beth back.
Awful storyline.
