3/2/2022 update: CBS has renewed The Bold and the Beautiful TV show for two more years — seasons 36 and 37.
Bring Thomas back? NO NO NO! This is crazy and risks poor viewer responce! What we need, to keep up good ratings as we have enjoyed in the past is new WRITERS! Hopefully this will save the program from a unquestionable death spiral!
Sorry. The writers need new ideas. Same storylines over and over. Present one with Thomas going back to being the villain is an obvious regurgitation of a fairly recent one.
Brooke and Ridge will get back together blah blah even though Taylor is obviously a much nicer person.
When Sheila and Deacon were re entered the show, I stopped watching. Bad enough the soap is only 20 something minutes, if that….that finished my interest in this soap.
The storyline is horrible and just repetitious, Brook and Ridge over and over!! Enough already!! We’ve seen them break up and go back together too many times now. There is no creativity in the writers now. Now they are writing how grown children of Taylor and Ridge are doing immature things to get them back together…REALLY WRITERS…POOR WRITING. END THAT SAGA PLEASE
Please renew The Bold And The Beautiful soap. This is an incredible show and I have watched it since it began.
Get on with it story so much the same boring dialogue.every day getting ridge and Taylor together.get new people to write the story line or cancel show so bored!!!!!!!!
This is the same old thing Brook and Taylor fussing over Ridge SO SICK OF THIS STORY OVER AND OVER
This show should be canceled, it makes no sense, it’s the same writing that is unrealistic. Why would the writers and casting have shelia do all this nonsense stuff. Just heard renata Sofia is leaving because they couldn’t do nothing with her character, if these writers are to lazy to think of ideas for this soap opera, then you as viewers should stop watching. Let these writers actually work for there money and stop pissing viewers off, with the same old stories year after year. For now gh, ynr and dool for me, bnb writers try picking up and pen… Read more »
Brook is nerve racking sometimes but not like Sheila! She does some of everything and never get’s her day of reckoning. When does she get some of the hell back that she’s dishing out she receives no carma.
Karma
I swear if Deacon don’t put this ….. out I am so threw. Show her …… the door so tired of watching Sheila …. I am beyond threw. She’s a walking disaster her character needs to be written off.
Wish this show would end . All it is sex and swapping men . Not about fashion anymore . Same old same old .
Don’t watch it then, you don’t have to. Some of us enjoy it!
The Bold and the Beautiful is the BEST soap PERIOD! Me and all of my friends look forward to watching it Monday thru Friday! Please don’t ever cancel it would be a terrible loss! We love the BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL!
Would be if it wasn’t for Sheila!
Sick of this crazy with Shiela and now Steffe loses her memory over a flesh wound.
Can this get any more ridiculous. Some reality would be great .
This whole new year is really getting bad for this show .
I totally agree. It’s a stupid show. Nothing, not even a little bit hit on real life things. My friend and I have stopped watching it. I’m sure there’s a lot of people that’s new that could come on the show and make things a lot better as opposed to bringing the same people back. They really make all of the actors in actresses look stupid and dumb, that is too funny to have someone who has married all of the men in the same family, sisters who has married sister ex, a mom who slept with her daughters husband… Read more »
