*4/30/19 update: CBS has renewed The Bold and the Beautiful TV show for the 2019-20 season.
Renew the bold and the beautiful and make it an hour show. Loving the twists in the show and keep the same actors.
I agree with ALL the negative comments. I quit watching until new Thomas and son showed up. Caught a couple of episodes and realized how evil and manipulative and twisted he is and what a HORRIBLE father and person he is–using his son and playing on Hope’s grief. Thomas even makes Steffy and Bill and Ridge look good! He is a good actor because he makes the audience TOTALLY hate and despise him. And the characters of Zoe, Flo and Flo’s mother are ALL despicable. I have even lost sympathy for Hope because her character so stupidly pushes Liam away… Read more »
I’ve been watching for long enough to record daily episodes. But I’m not so sure since Liam and Hope had Beth. I’ve watched long before that, but not a daily recording. This story line, losing a baby, has got to be one of the absolute hardest to swallow, especially if you’ve lost a child. The pain endured is unimaginable and it’s being used in this series as “not a big deal, but a big cover up for crazy crime”. I’ve waited so long for the truth to come out. People have been hurt, even killed, and it’s going much too… Read more »
If the writers can’t speed up the storylines, then B&B needs to be cancelled. The baby story needs to end, Hopeless needs to go away again, can’t stand her or Thomas. He left a good guy and came back evil. I’m about done watching.
What a ridiculous storyline. I mean come on, how many more people have to know about Thomas and his evil ways before something is done. Every episode is the same crazy plot. Someone finds out the truth and all they do is argue about it, rather than going to Hope or the police. How long is this story going to have the same old script. Who writes this stuff? What about Beth? Is she going to be an old lady when she finds out who her real mother and father are??? Really? I guess there is no other plot to… Read more »
Thomas story line is disgusting. What is wrong with writers? Are they out of ideas? Maybe some new writers would help. I have always loved this show, not so much in recent months. Story lines are terrible lately. I liked that story progressed at a good pace, this is no longer true.
This Thomas story is so boring this I believe why you’re ratings are going through the floor
This show has been one of my mothers and mine favorite for years. In fact she had watched since its debut. However, it is getting pretty ridiculous. Come on already with the baby reveal. How much more do the fans have to take before there is good writing for the show. Seriously, need new writers. I have a few suggestions: 1. Stephy has a baby cam in living room that catches Thomas doping Liams drink. 2. Thomas pays for all of his evil doings, including Emma’s death. 3. Hope finds out about Beth and all what Thomas knew. 4. Douglas… Read more »
I use to like this show but it is taking to long for baby story to come out. I am so over all of them . I can’t watch anymore
Yes!!!
This show has gotten boring
NEED NEW WRITERS!!!
This show needs to end. This is the stupidest, saddest storyline ever. Maybe if more people would stop watching it, the sponsors will tell CBS, time to find better, smarter writers or put the show out to pasture, where it should have been years and years ago!!
Wow, the writers need to stop with the Hope, Stephanie and Liam triangle. Figure out some different story lines once. Please cancel.
Story lines are dragged out too long for these times. It takes too long I am starting to skip days or and sometimes a hold week, and the storyline is in the same place, so it’s no need to watch as much. Where I use to couldn’t wait to watch it everyday.
Imagine the younger people of today, they are much faster than my generation.
Please end the drama with Hopes baby. I love the bold and beautiful. It’s my favorite soap of all time. Please don’t cancel it.
Please don’t cancel. I wish Hope and Liam would find out truth about Beth. I hated Emma leaving the show. I wish she could come back, like unknown twin sister, and get even with Thomas and beat him at his own game. Please keep series going. I have watched since the beginning of the show.
The hope story line is dragging on way to long.. I am hoping your ratings drop for this..
I used to love B&B, but I am so bored with the baby storyline. The truth needs to come out ASAP. Very unrealistic as too many people know the secret. Also, I can’t stand the new Thomas the writers have ruined this character. I want to see more stories with Eric and Quinn.
I agree with the above as most all of us hate the story dragging Bell is not up to par and always seem to Hate the character of Hope. It’s suppose to be about fashion and it’s now anything but! I have not watched in a couple of months and won’t until this story is done! Sick of it more of Eric and even Pam and Charlie desperate for comic relief!
If you haven’t watched in a couple of months, be thankful. It is the worst ever.
I wish All My Children would come back on.
I partially agree with you. However. Hope is just like Brooke. She isn’t the innocent lamb she pretends to be. Remember she got pregnant for Stephanie’s husband not the other way around. Liam does NOT deserve Steptoe. He jumps in and out of bed with them like out change clothes on a hot steamy day. Wyatt is no different. Can’t wait till he finds out Flo’
has done. He is a greater butt hole than Bill.
I can’t stand the new Thomas.
Also, Bring someone on who will love Steffy. Liam is too wish Washy, Hope & Liam deserve each other, send them on a year long vacation.
