I love this show. I have been watching it for years. Please don’t take it off the air. I always record it so I don ‘t miss anything. I have also been watching Young and the restless since it first came on. I enjoy my lunch every day while I watch it. My day wouldn’t be the same without them. Thanks for keeping them on.
I love ❤️ his show & would have loved for Stefanie & Liam to end up together. But just maybe this will really work. Wish it could be on for any hour thought your half is really only 20 minutes & that is just enough to keep me begging for more. Make it an hour please. I love this show. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Cancel. Storylines are drivel. Acting is contrite. This is a soapy mess! Even the music is ridiculous.
Please don’t cancel. The only soap I watch!
I love B & B and Y & R
Absolutely love B&B!! I don’t understand why the networks are taking all of our soaps away from us. CBS two of the best soaps on air. There is enough trash on it night and there are more than enough of the foolish reality shows. Leave our soaps alone! If CBS takes Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless I’ve no reason to watch your network
Love BB, please don’t cancel. Have watched daily for years. Very attached to characters
I love the BB. I watch daily, and ask you please not to cancel it
The story line (script) is becoming repetitive with several characters. But those between the love triangle and Bill is the worst (same lines over and over). Hope is no saint and Steffy should be allowed to keep Liam. Please improve the script or perhaps is time to go!
I honestly don’t know whether it should stay or go. I’ve been watching from the beginning and have seen characters and storylines come and go, ad nauseum. Lately, it’s all become pretty tiring. I don’t enjoy the addition of the interns at Forrester….. not because they are young, but I personally don’t see much potential there. As so many others have mentioned, the “Steffy, Liam, and Hope Show” has gone around so often that it has become annoying and predictable. Move on already!!
Love The Bold and The Beautiful especially Steffy and Liam. I wish it could come on for an hour. Since Brooke got to have Ridge why can’t Steffy have Liam (the two of them make the story more exciting!!!) I agree with Annette send Hope back to work in Forrester in Eurpoe. Brooke is not innocent and neither is Hope. Didn’t Hope leave someone behind in Europe who could possibly be the father of her unborn child?
I have watched this since it 1st aired and love it. Would like to see it go to a hour long show so story lines don’t drag out so slow and more drama could be added. Not real fond of the Hope and Steffy story. Liam is looking like a real dog going back and forth.
Have watched B&B since the beginning, really like it. Take Hope off the show and make Brooke a better person. Bill should change because he represents the evil of money.
Please do not cancel this is my favorite Soap. I have watched from the very beginning. I just pray you don’t cancel I love the characters and story lines. Sincerely very Faithful Viewer.
I love this show but I also am tired of the Liam, Steffi and Hope – been there done that. Steffi and Liam belong together and Hope needs to go. She is as sinister as her mother Brooke.
