What do you think? Do you still like The Bold and the Beautiful TV series? Would you like to see it cancelled or renewed for additional seasons?
8/9/18 update: CBS has confirmed that The Bold and the Beautiful has been renewed for season 32. Details here.
I love the Bold and the Beautiful. I have been watching since it began. I think the ratings are not as good as they could be because of this Hope/Steffy/Liam story. I think you should have Steffy stay with Liam and Hope should lose the baby and just leave town. I can not stand her fake sweetness. I think that story line is ruining the Bold and the Beautiful. Please do not cancel the show. Maybe you need to hire some new fresh writers!
Please do not cancel Bold. My hubby and I watch the “story” every night when we get home from work. We feel connected to the characters. We would not know what to do if they were not on.
I watch this show everyday. Never miss it. Love everyone on it. Please do not cancel this show. It would be devastating to me and all my friends that watch it. Please do not take it away from the fans of BAB.
I have watched B & B from day one. Yes, the Steffy, Liam and Hope story line is getting old. It would be nice to see new interesting characters to “challenge” some one like Bill Spencer. To see something good happen for Sally, something that would stir up Bill’s empire. Let’s keep B & B. Spice it up. Love the show.
I like B&B. Please leave it on. We do need some fresh characters though. A little shake up if you will. Not getting rid of any of the main cast or anything. Maybe a new family to throw in the mix. Bill needs a woman he hasn’t had before. And enough of the same love triangles.
I’m 73 year old this year, I have watched Bold and Beautiful and asked my mom before she passed away what happened when I was working everyday. Now that I am retired I look forward every week Day to watch the Bold and the Beautiful. Finally Hope and Lilam!!!
I am 57 and have been watching young and the restless since I was a little girl. I stay at home now to watch my grandchildren . The highlight of my day is the bold and beautiful. I wish it was on an hour each and everyday. I find it amazing all the stars that have been there since day one.The story-line is interesting and never boring. I have been watching it from the first episode. I find it better than young and the restless. please keep it on the air….!!!!
OH NO! Please do not Cancel The Bold & The Beautiful. I have been watching since day 1 and fell in love with it. The trials and tribulations of Foresters and Spencers are great story lines. Keep up the good work on story lines and renew for more than 1 year at a time.
I have been watching Y&R forever but just recently started watching B &B. I really like it and would like it to remain on the air!
Renew it please! I’ve been watching since the beginning. Don’t continue to make Steffy the front & center character all the time. Stop the Liam/Steffy/Hope triangle once & for all.
I’m addicted to the show. Don’t love everyone but never miss it. Personally a little tired of Brooke. Maybe some new characters (that aren’t interns). Keep it going!!
I am sick of Hope, Liam and Steffy storyline! Let Steffy finally have Liam and enjoy their baby together. Every time Liam and Steffy get back together the next there’s always something to break them up! Let the story line finally be that they stay together for awhile! It’s getting ridiculous and Hope is so ANNOYING! If the story line leads to Hope and Liam back together I’m done with this show !

B&B has become so “incestuous” … I wouldn’t miss it. A nice Farewell Episode would be best!
LMFAO, absolutely THIS!! You win a prize ma’am.
I don’t think you are incorrect. B&B was renewed prior to the June of 2017 renewal. That would take it into the 2018-2019 season. With the additional pickup.
I am really sick of the story line about Liam steffy hope and if I was CBS I would not consider renewing until the story lines have changed why have all the other actors and actresses if there are going to just pretty much be in the background? For goodness sake steffy jyst had baby Kelly and now the storyline is ripping a family apart!!!! I’m totally over the same storylines it’s like they don’t have a better storyline! I don’t even watch since the line of hope being pregnant who could actually do that to a new mom? Should… Read more »
I dvr everyday and fast forward any scenes with Liam/Steffy/Kelly/Hope and Brooke! Personally, I hate baby story lines and BB can’t seem to write about anything else!! I do like Wyatt and Sally, but it may be too little too late for me
